The amount paid for bioenergy was 15 billion euros last year, but at the beginning of 2024 it was no longer a billion. Why did the credit melt away so quickly? Hans-Josef Fell: Because of the very high natural gas prices, there were also very high electricity prices on the stock exchange in 2022 and 2023. These brought significant income into the EEG account. The expansion of renewable energies means that they can be fed into the grid...
