After violent criticism: Energy tax tax does not come now

It was a proposal that caused the energy industry in a bright excitement. After massive criticism from the industry, he is now off the table. It is about a special tax with the dry name “Energy Management Transformation Contribution”. This appeared in a draft law of the Ministry of Finance, about which the press had first reported on Wednesday evening. For each megawatt hour produced on green electricity, energy companies should have paid three euros in taxes that gas power plants should have paid four euros.
