Germany's renewables and grid reform legislation challenged as 'unconstitutional' by industry legal opinion
Windpower Monthly reports that the German wind energy association BWE has published a legal opinion arguing the federal government's planned reforms to grids and renewable energy are 'unconstitutional.' Separately, Germany has opened a consultation on an offshore wind amendment that would introduce contracts for difference (CfDs) as a 'fallback option' in tenders, drawing criticism from the industry for the two-stage structure. Recharge News notes the CfD model is only a backstop, not the primary mechanism, which the industry argues creates investment uncertainty. Operators and asset managers active in the German market should monitor both the constitutional challenge and the CfD consultation timeline closely.
