ᐅ Renewable Energy Act surcharge also applies to solar systems in single-family homes

This is outrageous...

Self-generators must pay the renewable energy surcharge
Self-supply with renewable electricity is becoming significantly less attractive for homeowners and businesses: According to information from F.A.Z., the coalition plans to uniformly charge them a fee amounting to 40 percent of the currently applicable surcharge under the Renewable Energy Act.

Well, self-suppliers are people who do not count as end consumers.......... And end consumers are important after all, since they are the cash cows of the nation...............

Then I just pay 25 euros for my 1000 kWh (1,100 kWh) of self-consumed electricity per year.

First, I fill out the necessary form and send it to the authorities without postage. The application is reviewed, I wait for the invoice, make the payment, and the receipt is monitored...

And that’s supposed to make economic sense? Hardly. But I’m no longer surprised by anything.

Existing installations are exempt according to the latest draft.

My photovoltaic system does not exist yet either.

I can only agree with that.

Originally, a system was planned for 2016, once a small building savings account matures. Now, I am also considering whether it might be sensible to install the system during the house construction since the scaffolding will already be in place.
