Reasonably budgeted? More like recently decreasingly subsidized.
Germany is making an investment towards a more diverse, ecologically sustainable energy market. That's expensive in the short run, simple as that. The four big players don't like it - and they particularly don't like that decades of a very controllable market are drawing to a close.
You should see the desperate advertisements they run, trying to appear "green" and reasonable, lately. Very entertaining.
Also - if you're going to talk deficit, don't forget that Germany had to pay a couple of extra bills since 2008.
