ENERGIE-CHRONIK |
Die EU-Kommission hat ihr Investitionsprogramm für Energieprojekte, das sie im Januar unterbreitete (090102), am 18. Mai in endgültiger Fassung vorgelegt und interessierte Unternehmen zur Abgabe von Angeboten bis zum 15. Juli aufgefordert. Für Gas- und Stromnetze sind nunmehr 2365 Millionen Euro vorgesehen, für die CO2-Abscheidung 1050 Millionen und für Offshore-Anlagen 565 Millionen. Insgesamt beläuft sich der Etat für Energieprojekte auf fast vier Millionen Euro und ist damit um fast 500 Millionen höher als zunächst vorgesehen (siehe die aktualisierte Übersicht). Im Rahmen des insgesamt fünf Milliarden umfassenden Konjunkturprogramms wurden dafür die Ausgaben zur Förderung von Breitbandprojekten in ländlichen Gebieten entsprechend gekürzt.
Die Verabschiedung des Investitionsprogramms war im Ministerrat zunächst auf Widerstand gestoßen. Vor allem Deutschland und fünf weitere EU-Staaten wollten der Freigabe der Mittel nicht zustimmen. Bei der ersten Beratung im EU-Finanzministerrat am 10. Februar soll Bundesfinanzminister Peer Steinbrück (SPD) die Pläne scharf kritisiert haben, weil die Projekte unausgewogen seien und die Mittel zu spät flössen, um der Wirtschaftskrise entgegenzuwirken. Der Widerstand bröckelte aber, nachdem die Kommission den ursprünglichen Vorschlag überarbeitet und um acht Projekte erweitert hatte. Bei der Beratung im Energieministerrat am 19. Februar stand Bundeswirtschaftsminister zu Guttenberg mit seiner Kritik ziemlich allein.
