- According to a person familiar with the matter, Spahn early advocated activating reserve plants when electricity prices rose sharply.
- The grid reserve contains many old coal plants and is intended to secure the grid, not regulate electricity prices.
- According to the report, Steag CEO Andreas Reichel proposed the idea; many Steag plants are in the grid reserve.
- Experts warned of market distortions, while the energy industry said extra coal use could hinder power-plant restructuring; nevertheless, it entered the coalition agreement.
There was no major discussion about it in the exploratory talks.— Jens Spahn, leader of the Union parliamentary group, said on request that the price buffer is sensible and that there was no major discussion about it in the exploratory talks.
