Germany throttles solar output, blocking household self-consumption
Original: Verhinderter Eigenverbrauch: Solar-Anlagen abgeregelt | quer vom BR
German public broadcaster BR reports that solar installations are being throttled, preventing owners from using the electricity they generate themselves. The report on 'verhinderter Eigenverbrauch' (prevented self-consumption) highlights frustration among solar operators whose systems are curtailed, raising questions about grid management and Germany's energy transition policies.
Why now: Solar owners and energy-transition observers are reacting to reports that grid operators curtail rooftop solar even when the power could be self-consumed.
