This decision comes in the lead-up to the country’s upcoming elections and signifies a crucial step in addressing energy market dynamics.

For further details on the “Solar Peak Act” and its implications, please reach out to our experts Dr. Hermann Rothfuchs and Tatjana Beck. They can provide you with the comprehensive information you need to understand the intricacies of this legislative development.
