The disorderly energy transition not only increases the risk of blackouts and surges in electricity prices, but also leads to foreign trade in electricity running into absolute losses. Thanks to the destructive energy policy of the Union, the SPD, the Greens and the FDP, Germany pays more.
Depending on the current situation, it is actually common for energy companies to export the electricity they produce, or to buy excess electricity from abroad. Ideally, the whole thing should be at least roughly balanced. At least when the political side claims to provide sufficient “green” energy with the “energy transition” (which coincidentally was initiated by Groko under Angela Merkel) and then, despite the lack of cheap gas supplies, nuclear Power plants were also shut down. , Now all of them are taking revenge.
According to one report, German energy companies imported about 340 million euros more electricity than they exported in July alone (when solar and wind power plants should actually supply more electricity). One reason: On average, the export price was a reasonable 38.60 euros per megawatt hour (MWh), while imported electricity paid an average of 97.20 euros per MWh. The import price, which is two and a half times higher, is noteworthy, especially since Germany has never had to import as much electricity as it did this month.
Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz justified this by saying that although lignite was still available as an alternative, Germany preferred Danish wind power and French nuclear power because it was cheaper. However, the Social Democrats did not mention the fact that CO2 and climate taxes in Germany actually artificially increase the price of cheap fuel. All energy sanctions against Russia, which have caused imported gas prices to skyrocket, have been carefully ignored. Coal and gas-fired power plants in particular are actually among the cheapest electricity producers. But due to general climate craziness, these are no longer appropriate.
Because of this failed energy policy, consumers in Germany now have to pay extra. Not only with high taxes and levies on energy (the Federal Republic ranks third in the European Union), but also with expensive imported electricity, which, however, is not enough to be available in an emergency. Energy Security stands out.
