Oh well. PV installations up to 99kWp in Germany also gets fixed rates for 20 years (e.g. most home installations get ~8c/kWh).
Beyond that, you do have the same licensing/backward auction/strike price thing you mention. It didn’t use to be that way though - the auction/licensing scheme was introduced as part of the “breathing cover” regulation by the conservative coalition around 2015. It was introduced specifically to slow down renewable growth, or in less kind terms: to keep Good German Lignite and Cheap Russian Gas energy in the grid longer. While it wasn’t nearly as effective as intended, that is only because prices for PV and wind installs came down very quickly.
And indeed, since 2022, operators also need to forego 90% of the strike-price/bid-price difference, as an outcome of the gas price crisis.
By, for example, relying more on France’s nuclear power generation
On a related note, France’s reliance on aging nuclear reactors that it isn’t competent enough to replace, despite a significant ideological investment in nuclear technology has a decent chance of biting its neighbor countries in the bum too. :)
Aber man kann ihnen nicht vertrauen. Ich habe mal eine zeitlang häufig dort belegte Brötchen konsumiert und bin mir bei mindestens einem der Brötchen relativ sicher, dass ich Tier serviert bekommen habe. Abgesehen davon finde ich diese modernen Patties auch sowieso zu wurstig, davon hab ich ehrlich gesagt nichts als normal vegan lebender Mensch. 2/10
