Electricity prices in Germany may rise by 175 euros ($250) a year for a household of three after the phasing-out of nuclear power, the Financial Times Deutschland reported, citing a study by the RWI research institute.
The power price could rise by 5 cents per kilowatt-hour, rather than the government's estimated 1 cent, as a result of the nuclear phase-out and greater reliance on alternative energy sources such as wind and solar, the newspaper reported.
