Germany’s federal government and its 16 states can’t find common ground on proposed cuts to solar-power subsidies in the world’s biggest market as installations of panels through April more than tripled.
Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government and the states failed to reach a compromise during an arbitration panel meeting, the Bundesrat, the parliament’s upper house, said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. The panel will resume talks on the subsidies on June 27.
