Insight into the Supply Security Report by the Federal Network Agency

In a significant development, the Federal Network Agency has released a supply security report that presents a clear signal for the accelerated expansion of renewable energies in Germany. The report does not advocate for the building of oversized, expensive gas power plant parks, and it does not indicate a need for delay in the expansion of renewables.

The energy policy spokesperson, Oliver Krischer, has stated that the expansion of renewable energies contributes to solving Germany's supply security problem. He further warned that a delay in this expansion by 2035 could lead to a supply gap.

The report reflects the consensus in the industry regarding the need for renewable energy expansion. The strategy, if implemented, could allow financing from the KTF and could potentially avoid further expensive surcharges on the electricity price, a benefit that is not explicitly stated in the report.

The hydrogen conversion strategy proposed by Robert Habeck is not discussed in the report. However, implementing this strategy could accelerate approval in Brussels, according to some experts.

Meanwhile, attacks on the expansion of renewables by individuals like Mrs. Reiche pose a risk to supply security, as per the report. It is important to note that the report does not suggest a risk to supply security due to attacks on the expansion of renewables.

The government's productivity during the political summer break will be shown in the coming weeks, with the Minister expected to take the report as an indication to act. The success of this strategy could ensure supply security in Germany while avoiding further expensive surcharges on the electricity price.

Michael Kellner, another spokesperson for energy policy, has not made any official comments regarding the report as of yet. The report is a call for a decision on the power plant strategy, setting the stage for a crucial debate in the coming months.
