Germany’s cabinet has approved a €1.3bn subsidy plan to offset electricity network fees for consumers in 2025, aiming to stabilise energy costs, the economy ministry announced today, cited by Reuters.
- The subsidy seeks to alleviate high energy prices that are straining household budgets and hindering industrial production in Germany.
- Economy Minister Robert Habeck emphasised the importance of the measure, stating it would help bolster the competitiveness of Germany’s industrial sector.
- Parliamentary approval is still required, and the proposal’s prospects remain uncertain following the collapse of the governing coalition.
