The next step towards expanding renewable energy
2021-02-13
The 2021 Renewable Energy Sources Act creates the legal framework necessary for Germany to be able to achieve its climate and energy targets for 2030 and 2050 in the electricity sector. At present, electricity from renewable sources already accounts for more than half of Germany's total electricity consumption many days of the year. The further expansion of electricity generation from renewables is a central pillar of the energy transition. The aim is to make our energy supply more climate-friendly while decreasing our dependency on imports of fossil fuels.
