This is according to the Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft (Federal Association for the Energy and Water Industry (BDEW)).
The industry association explains this result above all in terms of the price trends. The increase in price of CO2, in particular, made electricity production in coal-fired power stations more expensive, some were therefore put on back-up standby or shut down. In addition, the wholesale prices for natural gas in the first half of 2019 fell year-on-year, which reduced the price for short-term procurement of gas for industry and power stations.
