With the energy system gone, Germany is now preparing an emergency natural gas allocation plan – Is it up with that?
Via P Gosselin above 22. March 2022
Germany is saying “auf Wiedersehen” to cheap and abundant energy, and welcomes tight supplies and rations.
Unless they completely change course, German policymakers will soon close the remaining nuclear power plants by the end of the year and coal-fired power plants will be phased out over the next 15 years. .
To make matters worse, European policymakers are moving to phase out fossil fuel-powered cars and replace them with electronic ones, thus leading to an immediate spike in electricity demand. when supply is scarce. Experts warn of power outages and hyperinflationary energy prices.
Moreover, Europe is moving towards deeply restricting natural gas supplies from Russia. All these measures taken together will inevitably lead to unprecedented energy shortages in the years to come. Therefore, it is not surprising that the government is currently trying to plan the supply of natural gas when severe shortages hit.
The government’s contingency plans are currently being drafted
“The government is having a contingency plan in place to determine which companies should stop receiving gas first when Russian natural gas fails to arrive,” the report said. Blackout News.de here. “A corresponding emergency plan is being prepared under the auspices of the Federal Network Agency.”
The plan envisages “consumption limits” of companies, “depending on their size and consumption”.
According to Blackout News: “This means that industrial companies with high consumption will be the first to have gas supplies cut off.”
Eastern and Southern Germany will be hardest hit
Although Germany can import gas from Norway and the Netherlands, it will be very difficult to ship gas to the east and south of Germany. “As a result, industrial plants in these regions will likely be the first to run out of natural gas in the event of a shortage,” wrote. News of power failure.
The plan reportedly involves categorizing companies to determine how relevant their systems are. “For example, companies in the food industry should be ranked differently than companies that make products like tires or glass,” reports Blackout News.
Downgrade to a farmer’s organic farming country
If Germany continues with its draconian energy regulation policies, companies will soon realize (if they haven’t already) that doing industrial business in the country will be too risky and expensive. It is increasingly likely that they will move their operations elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Germany will quickly fall down the world economic rankings until it becomes a marginal organic farming nation where even hot water and red meat are luxuries.
