Merkel's Party Seeks Exit From Green Power Subsidies in Germany by 2021

摘要

Lawmakers from Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats want Germany to pull out of subsidies for renewable energy within five years, a leaked committee paper shows. The five-page document was drawn up as a policy primer as the CDU readies for campaigning for the federal election next September. The authors including CDU economy and energy spokesman Joachim Pfeiffer advocate terminating subsidies for new wind, solar and biomass plants within the next legislative period that kicks off in 2017.
