Belgium, (Brussels Morning Newspaper) The European Commission approved Germany’s measures aimed at supporting production of electricity from renewable sources.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the EC pointed out that the measures supplement the country’s Renewable Energy Act and will help it to achieve EU’s Green Deal objectives.

Margrethe Vestager, European Commissioner for Competition, pointed out that Germany’s plan will “prevent overcompensating producers in times of high electricity prices and help increase grid stability by, for example, maximising the contribution from small rooftop solar panels.”
