Communal solar power systems are to receive financial support in some regions of Saxony. "When neighbors, municipalities or businesses generate and consume electricity together, they reduce their energy costs and at the same time make a contribution towards climate neutrality," said Saxony's Energy Minister Dirk Panter (SPD) in a statement from the ministry.
The aim is to drive forward the energy transition in the areas affected by structural change - i.e. in the districts of Bautzen, Görlitz, North Saxony, Leipzig and the cities of Leipzig and Chemnitz.
