BERLIN, May 2 (Reuters) - German Finance Minister Christian Lindner rejects a plan by Economy Minister Robert Habeck to introduce an industrial electricity price, he wrote in a guest article published by business daily Handelsblatt on Tuesday. Such a move would be "economically unwise", and it would contradict market principles to rely on direct state aid as a means to achieve industrial transformation, Lindner wrote.
