I don't know the specifics, but there are subsidies in place through the EEG[0] to prevent such losses. In general energy also seems to be a low-risk business, where if the energy companies would ever loose money, they are either already covered by the government or can sue the government for losses due to changed regulations with a good chance of winning.
