German EEG draft designates inland Borken as coastal area, sparking criticism

The planned German EEG reform (Renewable Energy Act) designates Borken, a district over 150 km from the North Sea, as a 'coastal area,' causing confusion and criticism. The designation likely aims to facilitate wind energy expansion, but the misclassification highlights drafting errors in the reform. The incident may delay or complicate the legislative process, affecting Germany's renewable energy policy.
