Coalition agrees on early abolition of the EEG surcharge

Berlin From July, consumers in Germany should no longer pay an EEG levy on their electricity bill. The leaders of the traffic light coalition of SPD, Greens and FDP agreed on Wednesday to curb high energy prices, as can be seen from a decision paper available to the German Press Agency.

In addition, the traffic light coalition wants to raise the commuter allowance in the tax return. The increase in the flat rate for long-distance commuters due on January 1, 2024 will be brought forward and will therefore be 38 cents retrospectively from January 1, 2022.
