Nuclear policy
Trittin: It is not Atomstiftung give
Nuclear power? No, thank you! But how should the departure from nuclear energy look like? The government Commission for nuclear phaseout, wants the corporations in demolition and decommissioning costs at any rate not meet.
According to the Co-chairs of the Atomkommission, Jürgen Trittin, there will be no Foundation for the financing of the nuclear phase-out. “At the Stiftungsidee the company would you completely from the liability for possible cost increases are dismissed,” said the Green politician of the “Rheinische Post”. This was with the “polluter pays” principle not to agree. The operators Eon, RWE, EnBW and Vattenfall want a guarantee from the Federal government to ensure that no additional costs are incurred.
A proposal from the Commission: A Between – and a Repository Fund. As with a Repository not before 2050 is expected, here are the uncertainties large. In the Commission, it is squat that until 2022 the Konzerngelder to be brought in. Is open but who pays, if the sum is not sufficient, or how high a Nachzahlungspflicht of the corporations intended to be. This is already today for the creditworthiness of the company is of great importance.
Investment in wind farms and solar energy
At the same time made Trittin clear that the corporations, their provisions are not in the Form of shares, but in the money on the scheduled Fund transfer. Since the stock market value of some of the companies in the amount of the provisions corresponds to, this would be a “Complete nationalization” mean. “This is neither in the interest of the state or the company”, said Trittin.

Energy company EON maintains nuclear power plants
The four companies have reserves of a total of 38 billion euros formed, but partly in power plants and other investments have been created. Whether the sum is sufficient, is unclear. Experts estimate that about half for the decommissioning and demolition may be needed. In the Commission, it is squat that the corporations made transparent, as they have the means flüssigmachen.
The falling price of Electricity operators under pressure
Trittin says that individual assets such as coal-fired power plants, which the companies gladly would sell, no one wanted to have. “Promising sectors, such as wind farms or power grids want the corporations will not review. They would in their own interest, more likely to pay money.”

The government Commission, the Trittin (the Green) along with the former Prime Minister of Brandenburg, Matthias Platzek (SPD), and former Hamburg mayor Ole von Beust (CDU) is the head, should be recommendations, such as the multi-billion dollar Alt-loads are shouldered. The last NUCLEAR power plants in Germany in 2022 from the mains. Purely legally, for the four NUCLEAR power plant operators, Vattenfall, E. ON, RWE and EnBW, are responsible. Because of the rapidly falling electricity prices are the corporations, but economically significantly under pressure.
