Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Yep, that is mainly what's missing. However, it doesn’t help if northern German prime ministers believe that the grid needs to be segmented. That might go down well with northern German voters, but it’s the wrong direction. And with that, they are also treading on very thin ice, because on what grounds are tens of millions redirected from the south to the north every year? Right...equal living conditions. Whoever starts cherry-picking for the north also takes away the justification for such redistributions

Put differently: Why shouldn’t the citizens who have their wind farms right in front of their doorsteps also benefit from them? That’s just fair. Where the most electricity is produced, there are also the cheapest tariffs (it might only be a 5 cent difference). Because that way, the other federal states can nicely pay for their own power lines. Others shouldn’t have to suffer because Söder and co. have delayed the expansion of renewables. That should be nicely paid for by his own Bavarian voters…

And anyone who blares that Bayern always only pays in: from 1950 to 1987 Bayern was a beneficiary of the equalization. Admittedly to a much smaller extent, but Bayern also benefited from the equalization for decades...

We in Niedersachsen, on the other hand, love continuity... We have so far always only benefited... :D

I am strictly in favor of 10h for residential development! Regarding missing connections or being behind, just look at the [Länderfinanzausgleich] for example... Who opens their wallet the most here because the economy is doing well

I’m saying, substance. Make sure it stays that way, otherwise it might look different in 10 years. If electricity costs half as much in [NDS], that makes a difference.

Why shouldn't the citizens who have their wind farms right in front of their own doorstep also benefit from them?

That is correct. However, the granularity is wrong. It is not the people of Hamburg or Kiel who have the wind turbine in the city park, but the population in the village. I am absolutely in favor of properly compensating all those directly affected (let's say within a radius of 10H?). But I am against someone who lives 50km away and has absolutely nothing to do with electricity production or transport demanding reduced electricity prices because someone else makes sacrifices for them and they happen to be nearby.

And everyone who proclaims that Bayern only ever pays in: from 1950 - 1987 Bayern was a beneficiary of the compensation.

Then we have fulfilled our duty in just over a year and can call off the matter :p

There used to be 2 wind turbines here too - on the highest "mountain" in the area... they changed operators 3 times and were eventually dismantled... Apparently, after 7 years, they had already paid off so much and could be shut down due to prosperity...

The photovoltaic comparison is quite misleading there. Or do you also have widespread photovoltaic systems in southern Germany? Within a radius of 15 km here, we have numerous biogas plants and also ground-mounted photovoltaic systems. Wind turbines are not so numerous. That tends to be more towards the North Sea. I think one should really compare with the hard numbers. And I also don’t think we northern Germans should be favored, but please not more expensive either.
