The transition to renewable energy sources in Germany, known as Energiewende, has been a significant endeavor... However, the rapid shift away from nuclear power and the overemphasis on solar and wind energy have led to several challenges… One major issue is the problem of negative energy prices during the summer months when there is an excessive production of solar energy. This forces Germany to pay other countries to receive its surplus energy to maintain grid balance, resulting in significant costs. Another significant problem is the financial burden of the EEG (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz) on consumers, particularly those without solar panels (PV). This has led to a deficit in funding that is passed on to consumers, disproportionately affecting the lower-income population. This sudden transition has resulted in higher energy costs for consumers, which can be detrimental to the economy. In contrast, the United Kingdom has taken a more measured approach to its energy transition. The UK has prioritized economic stability, accessibility, and the security of energy supply while maintaining affordable prices for consumers. This approach has allowed the UK to achieve a more balanced energy mix without the same level of financial burden on its citizens. The role of nuclear energy in Germany's Energiewende is another significant aspect. Despite being a reliable and efficient source of energy, Germany has largely abandoned nuclear power in favor of solar and wind energy. This decision has been criticized for being impulsive and potentially detrimental to the country's energy security and economy. For me it’s clear that Germany needs to reassess its approach to the Energiewende to avoid further burdening its consumers. In the short to medium term, the country will need to rely on conventional energy production plants to mitigate the risk of blackouts in the near future. #Energiewende #GermanyEnergy #RenewableEnergy #SolarEnergy #WindEnergy #EnergyTransition #NuclearPower #EnergyPrices #GridBalance #EEG #ConsumerCosts #EconomicImpact #EnergySecurity #UKEnergyPolicy #ConventionalEnergy #EnergyStrategy #SustainableEnergy #EnergyChallenges #EnergyPolicy #ClimateChange #Renewables

Green Energy Open Access and ABT meters The #GEOA allows consumers with 100 kW load ( including 20 connection of 5 kW each in a discom) to apply Open Access. Many states have Regulations in this respect. However, it can not succeed for following reasons: 1. ABT METER REQUIRED As of now most of State Regulations have imposed requirements of 4 nos of ABT meters. On mixed feeder, it's 2 ABT meter. 2. Discoms and Transco have imposed mostly Secure Make Apex 100 meter , which cost approx Rs 8-10 lakh per consumers. It's required to be amended by #CEA in Metering Regulations and also State Regulators to do away double meter requirements. ABT meter is not even required in Smart Meter age, atleast for upto 5 MW 3. Discom Feasibility: When applied in #GEOA without surrender of contract demand, this need to be abolished. Bribe and time can be saved. 4. Complex scheduling upto 1 MW be addressed by simplification

TenneT and the Dutch government have started to hold preliminary talks with other potential buyers as a deadline nears for Berlin to decide whether it will purchase the German portion of the grid operator’s electricity network. Some infrastructure funds have expressed interest in the Tennet operations, yet a transfer of the stake to the German state is still the preferred option. The Dutch have set the coalition of Chancellor Olaf Scholz a deadline of July 1 to make a final call on the purchase after protracted negotiations have so far failed to secure a deal,Bloomberg reported. #MergersAcquisitionsDivestitures #Electricity #Infrastructure
