7. Yes, the FIT is one of the ways that payouts are made.

From the OP

With the EEG surcharge, consumers pay for the difference between the guaranteed feed-in tariffs paid pursuant to the EEG for renewable energy fed into the grids and the sale of the renewable energy at the EEX energy exchange by the TSOs.

The surcharge reimburses the difference in cost for what is paid to the producers and what they sell the renewable power for on their market.
The government collects the surcharge. They give it to the TSO, and the TSO pays it out (mostly to local communities and individuals) along with what the power actually sold for, as compensation for the FIT.

The obstruction and projections of gloomy doom by nuclear plant owners and the conservatives in Merkel's government haven't changed, nor have they been fulfilled as they claimed.

Your willing attempts to misinform on behalf of the nuclear industry can now have the final word.
