āPoliticised power gridsā
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
Social Democrat and federal economy minister Sigmar Gabriel blocked a reform of power grid fees for political reasons, writes Heike Gƶbel in an opinion piece for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Gabriel backtracked because a reform āwould be very expensive for the citizens of North Rhine-Westphalia. The [upcoming] state election will influence how strong the Social Democrats are at the start of their campaign for the federal election in September. Itās political calculations like these that rob the Energiewende of efficiency and acceptance,ā writes Gƶbel.
