"German Solar Bringing Down Price of Afternoon Electricity, Big Time! "(More Charts & Facts)

AND: Mr. Terium, the CEO of German Energy giant RWE:

CEO of Energy Giant RWE: 'The Nuclear Power Chapter Has Come to an End'

„Terium: The impact of current political decisions and market changes extends far beyond Germany. The large amounts of wind and solar energy that are being fed into the grid, together with the economic crisis, have led to a sharp decline in electricity prices.

SPIEGEL: But consumers in Germany now have to pay more for their electricity.

Terium: Yes, because government levies for new, renewable forms of energy, electricity grids and storage facilities drive up the price of electricity. The price we receive for generating power is currently so low that it's simply irresponsible to build an expensive nuclear power plant in Europe. The nuclear power chapter has come to an end for us.“ [in Germany]
