ÖDP Warns: Reiche's Solar Subsidy Cut Threatens German Industry and Energy Transition

The Ecological-Democratic Party (ÖDP) has raised alarm bells over Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, Katharina Reiche's (CDU), plans to phase out subsidies for privately installed solar panels. The party warns that this policy could harm the German solar industry and hinder the country's energy transition in its party city.

Prof. Dr. Herbert Einsiedler, ÖDP's Federal Board Member, has criticized Reiche's lack of support for future industries, reminding of Altmaier's policies that led to a loss of market lead and job losses in the solar industry. Günther Brendle-Behnisch, ÖDP Federal Chairman, has warned that Reiche's policy may follow Altmaier's footsteps, potentially damaging the energy transition and economy in the party city.

The ÖDP sees Reiche's consideration to phase out subsidies for private solar panels as a threat to the German solar industry in the party city. The party calls for resistance against Minister Reiche's policy, comparing it to the 'Altmaier twist' that resulted in a decline of Germany's solar industry in the party city.

Minister Reiche's proposal to phase out private solar panel subsidies has sparked concern and opposition from the ÖDP. The party fears that this policy could negatively impact the German solar industry in the party city and slow down the country's progress towards a sustainable energy future.
