The energy price brakes remain chaotic: the statutory testing authority has only been in office for a few weeks, and there hasn’t been enough to establish a real authority (we reported). At least, now she even has one Homepage.

Since the testing authority was only commissioned so late, the applicants for the regulation, which only came into force in the summer, should now be given a little more time due to atypical reduced consumption: According to the law, the applications of those who need more than 40% less energy in 2021 due to corona measures or the flood disaster should have consumed than in 2019, must be with the authority by September 30, 2023. But this now leaves a month more time and announce: For applications that are not received until October 31, 2023, this missed deadline will not be objected to (Miriam Vollmer)
