"Germany Power Report Q1 2016" Published

Germany will not diverge from its renewable-focused energy policy trajectory - meaning thermal capacity will continue to be squeezed out of the market due to low wholesale electricity prices and unattractive margins. We expect more financial pain for utilities like E.ON and RWE, while uncertainty over who will shoulder the vast cost of decommissioning existing nuclear capacity will ensure the energy transition remains highly politicised.

Germany will continue to register rapid growth in renewable-based electricity generation and we reiterate that the current coalition government will not diverge from Energiewende (energy transition). This means that Germany will retain its position as a global renewables powerhouse but will continue to grapple with the cost of the Energiewende to the German economy - with the cost of the renewable energy surcharge that is levied on consumer bills for 2016 estimated to rise 3% y-o-y and hit a record level of 6.354 euro cent/KWh.
