Wijziging van de Wet belastingen op milieugrondslag en de Wet milieubeheer voor de invoering van een minimum CO2-prijs bij elektriciteitsopwekking (Wet minimum CO2-prijs elektriciteitsopwekking)

This legislative amendment introduces a minimum price for CO2 emissions specifically for electricity generation. It aims to ensure a stable financial incentive for power plants to switch from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, preventing a drop in carbon prices from slowing down the energy transition. This change primarily affects electricity producers and power plants. By guaranteeing a floor price for carbon, it creates more investment certainty for low-carbon technologies and ensures that polluting energy production remains costly.
