EEG

Germany's Green party is rejecting proposed reform of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), the country's core framework for funding renewable power. The party is standing firm on maintaining support for rooftop solar installations, which rely on feed-in payments under the EEG. The refusal signals growing political friction in Germany over how the country finances and structures its energy transition.

New rules in Germany would allow home battery storage to also charge from the grid while owners keep their EEG feed-in compensation. Currently, storage systems that draw grid power risk losing EEG support, which has held back so-called bidirectional charging. Allowing both could make home batteries more useful for balancing the grid and cutting costs, and energy industry observers are discussing what the change means for solar households.
