I get that and I am glad it happened, it's just way too late for my liking. At least it's done, I can agree on that.
>That sounds more like a conspiracy theory. You don't stop stuff for being "too flexible" but because of other problem, e.g. offshore vs. onshore, transmission to the south, environmental concerns, wanting a different mix of renewables etc. .
You can't have energy produced disappear. So if you overproduce, it has to go somewhere and you need to stop production to not fry your energy grid. If you overproduce, and your coal energy can't shut down, so your network becomes more green/clean, the obvious choice is to shut down the flexible generator, i.e. wind energy.
>Yeah, so? Consumer electricity prices were never even mentioned in the "end-goal"?
That is true, but the EEG is making renewable energies more expensive for end-consumers. And I think that is the main point of this article.
