Germany's Cabinet has adopted a series of proposals that would radically cut financial support for renewable energy and provide the foundation for an upcoming amendment to the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). The measures were proposed by Minister of Energy and Economics Sigmar Gabriel in a white paper and adopted by the Cabinet Jan. 23. Gabriel took office in December (37 INER 21, 1/1/14). The measures include a cap on wind and biomass energy subsidies similar to the one adopted for solar installations in June 2012 and aim to decrease the average rate paid to green energy producers per kilowatt-hour generated from 17 euro cents (23 cents) on average to 12 euro cents (16.4 cents).
