摘要:The German Renewable Energy Act (EEG) has been very successful in promoting the
deployment of wind power plants and other renewable energy power generating
technologies in Germany. The increasing share of EEG-power in the generation
portfolio, increasing amounts of fluctuating power generation, and the growing
European integration of power markets governed by competition calls for a
re-design of the EEG. This article identifies increasingly important problems
and describes three different options to amend the EEG without jeopardising the
fast deployment of renewable energy technologies. In the "Retailer Model", it
becomes the responsibility of the end-use retailers to adapt the EEG power to
the actual demand of their respective customers. The "Market Mediator Model" is
the primary choice when new market players are regarded as crucial for the
better integration of renew-able energy and enhanced competition. The "Optional
Bonus Model" relies more on functioning markets.
