But that does not make them and remember to more expensive emission means higher electricity prices. So for Vattenfall, which owns much hydro and nuclear power, it means a net profit, saying he said, adding:

Waterfall themselves believe, however, that the subsidies had its day.

– What is happening now is that the construction of energy that is not needed, says Mikael Petrovic Wågmark, Head of Vattenfall Sweden and take Germany as an example:

– Their grids are undersized. The energy therefore does not reach the center of Germany living on coal power and have high emissions. Therefore, the produced renewable energy is wasted. That we say that subsidies are not the right way is not the same as being against renewable energy.
