Abstract

Der Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien wird derzeit aufgrund des Anstiegs der EEG-Umlage in den Jahren 2013 und 2014 umfassend diskutiert im Hinblick auf die sozialen Verteilungswirkungen steigender Strompreise. In dieser Studie, die eine aktualisierte und ergänzte Fassung von Lehr & Drosdowski (2013) darstellt, werden modellgestützt die Verteilungswirkungen analysiert, die sich aus dem Vergleich des oberen und unteren Szenario der Mittelfristprognose für 2015 ergeben. Die leicht regressiven Verteilungswirkungen sowie die Einsparungen durch Verhaltensanpassungen beim Stromverbrauch aufgrund von steigenden relativen Preisen aus der Vorgängerstudie werden bestätigt. Die Resultate werden durch eine zusätzliche Berechnung nach Einkommensklassen in ihrer Richtung und Größenordnung plausibilisiert.
