From the Risks-Forum Digest Sunday 4 April 2021 Volume 32 : Issue 59. Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2021 21:32:18 +0200 From: Thomas Koenig <tkoenig@netcologne.de> Subject: Safe and affordable electricity supply in danger (German finance watchdog) The Bundesrechnungshof, Germany's federal financial watchdog, has stated that the "safe and affordable supply of electricity is in increasing danger" due to Germany's "Energiewende" (energy transition). .<https://www.bundesrechnungshof.de/de/presse-service/pressemitteilungen/sammlung/bund-steuert-energiewende-weiterhin-unzureichend> [Access using Chrome, which will translate it reasonably well.] To quote its president: "Affordability is still not measurably determined; security of supply is incompletely assessed. Whether citizens and the economy will be reliably supplied with electricity in the future is subject to risks that the German government is not fully aware of. I am concerned about the high electricity prices for private households and small and medium-sized enterprises. This puts the acceptance of the generation project at risk." The risk? To push through policies without looking at risks and potential consequences.

Germany's neighbors should be very concerned. Not the first time Germany has gone berserk.

Neither France or Russia is really sunny enough for that. What Germany probably actually needs is more pumped storage and grid-scale batteries to smooth out the variation in the wind and solar power generation that they have got, and that is mentioned - briefly - in the report, if not in the bit translated. It sounds mostly like a politician trying to make the voters anxious. Germany does have lots of technical expert able and willing to address the problems, but it also generates 40% of it's electricity by burning coal, and the people who make money out of that are prepared to spend money on measures that will keep their income up for a long as possible. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney
