What are the main arguments for and against the proposed division of Germany's electricity market into multiple price zones?

The expert commission argues that a uniform price masks regional supply constraints, leading to inefficient investments and plant operations. Regional prices would improve economic efficiency by attracting investments to areas with surplus renewable energy, lowering overall costs and potentially boosting industrial job creation. This follows years of EU pressure and is already implemented in other countries like Italy and Sweden.
