Folge 13 | …und jetzt, Klaus Müller? Die Zukunft der Stromrechnung.

Why is electricity so expensive in Germany, and will the energy transition really lower our bills? In this episode, we talk with Klaus Müller, President of the Federal Network Agency, about grid expansion, electricity prices, renewable energies, battery storage, and whether Germany can achieve its 80 percent renewable energy target by 2030. We discuss expensive grid fees, blocked wind turbines, the "battery tsunami," bidirectional charging of electric cars, smart meters, gas-fired power plants for periods of low wind and solar output—and what all of this means in concrete terms for our wallets. An episode for everyone who wants to understand why energy policy isn't abstract, but directly impacts our electricity bills. ©Image K. Müller: Federal Network Agency
