Natural gas subsidies in Germany: Criticism of Minister Reiche, legal violations of EU competition law and consequences for the energy transition.
Reiche's natural gas plans: EU Commission sees massive distortion of competition!
In Germany, Economics Minister Katherina Reiche's plans to build several natural gas power plants have been criticized for months. The fossil projects she is aiming for can only be realized with government subsidies. The green electricity provider Green Energy Planet (GEP) has lodged a complaint with the EU Competition Commission in this context. The subsidies are estimated by GEP at around 1 billion euros per gigawatt (GW) of power plant output, which would total around 20 billion euros for the ministerial plans.
The provider sees these intentions as a number of legal violations that could potentially distort competition. It is feared that without these subsidies, fossil power plants would not be able to produce kilowatt hours (kWh) and would therefore hinder the development of green electricity. GEP also criticizes the possibility of undermining the basic principles of the EU guidelines for climate, environmental and energy aid (CEEAG). What is particularly serious is that the plans for technological openness propagated by the government are not fair and could also promote long-term dependencies on energy imports.
Sport and personal development
This ranges from football tournaments to cricket and basketball to rugby/soccer. There are also many opportunities to take part in marathons, triathlons or cycling races in the Buenos Aires area. The events can be attended or streamed live in inviting cafés. Sport conveys a positive, sporting attitude that influences daily life beyond the game.
