Electricity Feed Act
The German power supply law (StromEinspG) of 7 December 1990 ( Federal Law Gazette I, p. 2633 ), in the long title Law on the supply of electricity from renewable energy sources into the public grid , effective January 1, 1991 as a protest law in force and was the forerunner of the Renewable Energy Sources Act , which replaced it on April 1, 2000.
For the first time, it regulated the obligation of electricity supply companies to purchase and pay for electrical energy from renewable sources . It was designed by the two politicians Matthias Engelsberger (CSU) and Wolfgang Daniels (Greens), and finally introduced into the Bundestag by the CSU / CDU parliamentary group, as the then parliamentary group leader Jürgen Rüttgers had concerns about submitting a joint application by the Union and the Greens .
