āGrid fees: increasing disparitiesā
³Ņ±š°ł³¾²¹²Ō²āās grid fees on average will increase in 2017, but regional disparities and those based on the consumption volume will grow, according to a short analysis by energy think tank Agora Energiewende.* Consumers in rural areas with strong renewables development pay fees that are particularly high. āAs a consequence, power consumers in expensive regions pay more than double for the grid fees than power consumers in the cheap regions,ā writes Agora Energiewende in a press release. The only fair solution was the nationwide standardisation of the fees, writes Agora Energiewende.
