Government lacks overview of Energiewende costs - auditors

Federal Court of Auditors

Germany鈥檚 Federal Court of Auditors has criticised the government for lacking overview of the costs of the energy transition. The economics ministry 鈥渉as no overview of the financial consequences of the Energiewende,鈥 says the evaluation for the budget committee of Germany鈥檚 federal parliament, the Bundestag. The report was seen by the 麻豆无码版, and is purely advisory in character. The court objects that 鈥渇undamental questions鈥 such as 鈥渉ow much will the energy transition cost the state鈥 remain unanswered, and warns that the project鈥檚 costs might spiral out of control.
The independent Federal Court of Auditors is charged with the external examination of the German budget.
