Kaniber wants priority for farmers in gas distribution – Bavaria

Minister of Agriculture Michaela Kaniber calls for priority for farms in gas distribution. For example, the piglet producers needed a lot of heat for the animals, said the CSU politician on Friday in the BR. Other examples of high energy consumption are dairies, milking robots and slaughterhouses. One expects “that this area, this industry, will actually be included as a protected customer, within the meaning of the Energy Industry Act.” So far, however, there has been no positive feedback from the federal government, said the minister. At the end of their autumn conference in Saxony-Anhalt on Friday, the federal and state agricultural ministers want to present the results. In addition to the consequences and effects of the Ukraine war and the question of security of supply in the food industry, the department heads also wanted to discuss the restructuring of livestock farming.
