A study by the Economica research institute indicates that Germany's planned Renewable Energy Law could raise fuel prices by up to 95 cents per liter by 2035. The potential price hike has prompted warnings from the Chamber of Industry and Commerce. They criticize the law, forecasting it will lead to a “national special course,” deviating from broader European standards. The study suggests the increased costs will significantly impact consumers and businesses across Germany. Economica’s analysis focuses on the financial repercussions of shifting towards greater reliance on renewable energy sources. Concerns center around Germany's competitiveness if energy costs rise disproportionately. The Chamber of Industry and Commerce emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to energy policy.
