BofA warns Fed risks policy mistake with early rate cuts
Investing.com -- Germany is planning to reduce energy costs for consumers and businesses by 42 billion euros ($48.69 billion) between 2026 and 2029, according to a Reuters report on Monday citing the draft of the 2026 federal budget.
The cost-cutting measures will be funded by drawing on Germany’s Climate and Transformation Fund, with approximately 26 billion euros allocated as subsidies for electricity transmission network costs.
The German cabinet is expected to adopt the budget on Wednesday, which includes 3 billion euros in relief for energy-intensive companies next year, while 6.5 billion euros will be directed toward subsidizing grid fees.
"Based on EU state aid regulations, the introduction of an industrial electricity price is being considered," the draft budget states.
