Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the eco-friendly energy provider Grüüün will cease supply to around 200,000 private customers nationwide by October 31, 2026. The company only started in 2024 and had advertised price guarantees of up to ten years. Affected customers will need to find a new provider. Grüüün cited planned changes to the Renewable Energy Sources Act and new regulations for power grid expansion as reasons. The company fears that this will lead to fewer wind power and solar installations in the future, making it impossible to maintain long-term price guarantees. Negotiations with the federal government have been unsuccessful, Boeminghaus wrote, referring to a BILD report from October 10, 2026. He explained that this case illustrates how political and regulatory uncertainty can jeopardize long-term business models in the energy sector. https://t.co/NINMEcNkUS #Energiewende #Strompreise #Deutschland (translated)
