Economic perspectives support maintaining industry and employment, and ensuring an affordable electricity price, which should fall rather than rise. Strategic investment in existing industry (CCS technologies) is preferred, as this is considered an expenditure dozens of times smaller and more responsible than the government’s large allocations for offshore wind farms.

Insufficient data.

Economic perspectives emphasize protecting consumers from additional costs and oppose the redistribution of income at the expense of consumers in favor of new producers. Strategic national investments (CCS technologies) are supported for the modernization of existing industry and ensuring energy stability. Stability and affordability are prioritized over a rapid, costly, and unstable green transition.

Economic perspectives stress the necessity of cutting state expenditures (amounting to tens of millions of euros) by consolidating IT systems to prevent duplicated efforts. At the same time, adequate state funding is demanded within the Health Insurance Fund's pricing model, and concern is expressed regarding the €180 million budget deficit and its negative impact on hospital labor costs.

Economic perspectives advocate for maintaining the existing industry via targeted, cost-effective investments (CCS), which are significantly cheaper than the offshore wind farms proposed by the government. Emphasis is placed on the crucial importance of job retention and low energy and heating prices, thereby prioritizing industrial interests and social stability.

It favors economic stability and competitiveness, insisting that electricity prices must not rise, but actually fall. It criticizes the government's planned large investments (such as offshore wind farms) and advocates for cheaper solutions, like CO2 capture technology, which would guarantee affordable electricity and zero emissions. Emphasis is placed on the necessity of avoiding dependence on imported energy and its price fluctuations.
