Abstract

Energieintensive und umsatzstarke Unternehmen stellen aufgrund der energiepolitischen Rahmenbedingungen Investitionen in Deutschland zurück. Dies betrifft zwar nur einen Teil der Unternehmen, zeigt jedoch, dass steigende Kosten und Unsicherheit über zukünftige energiepolitische Weichenstellungen Unternehmen in ihren Investitionsentscheidungen beeinflussen. Nur wenige Unternehmen planen darüber hinaus, aus Gründen der Energiepolitik verstärkt im Ausland zu investieren. Doch die aktuellen Regeln, die dieses sogenannte 'carbon leakage' verhindern sollen, sind befristet und drohen zuungunsten gerade energieintensiver Unternehmen verändert zu werden. Diese Unsicherheit und einseitige Belastungen, die nur national oder in Europa anfallen, bedrohen Innovationen und die notwendigen Investitionen, die deutsche und europäische Unternehmen für eine treibhausgasärmere und effizientere Produktion vornehmen müssen. Deshalb ist es für einen Erfolg der Energiewende unerlässlich, die Gesamtkosten durch effiziente Instrumente soweit wie möglich zu begrenzen und einseitige Belastungen zu vermeiden.
