🇩🇪 An open dispute has erupted within the CDU over Reiche’s energy reform

Schleswig-Holstein Minister-President Daniel Günther has openly opposed the energy policy of Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Katherina Reiche—his fellow CDU member. In a letter to Friedrich Merz, he expressed “the greatest concern” about the plans to reform the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) and warned that Reiche’s proposals could harm both Germany as a whole and his federal state.

Günther is particularly opposed to the complete abolition of guaranteed remuneration for operators of new private solar installations, as well as to what he considers the insufficient volumes of future tenders for onshore wind energy. Against the backdrop of the crisis surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, he is instead calling for an accelerated expansion of renewable energy so that Germany can reduce the risk of another price surge in fossil fuels more quickly.
