The Commission has been in contact with the German authorities with regard to the Solar Package I amendments to the German Renewable Energy Law, EEG 2023.
It is recalled that EEG 2023 had been declared compatible with the internal market in December 2022 in line with the Guidelines on state aid for climate, environmental protection and energy.
The state aid guidelines, as well as the Commission’s decision on the EEG 2023, are relevant for the assessment of the Solar package amendments.
It falls within the responsibility of Member States to ensure compliance with state aid rules and to notify new aid in line with the applicable legal requirements.
Given the confidential nature of discussions between the Commission and the Member States, the Commission cannot comment on the details of any particular notification, nor predict the outcome or timing.
