Solar plan to be announced by government.
The German government is changing its plans for renewable energy. They will continue to give money to solar power projects. This is happening because of criticism about the amount of money being spent.
German Minister Katherina Reiche is responding to concerns about the expansion of renewable energy. The government will not cut back on subsidies for solar power. These subsidies help homeowners who install solar panels. However, some people think the money should be used for other investments. The government plans to release a new proposal in October. Industry representatives will be part of the final decision-making process.
