Energy Transition
Germany's Energy Market Transition
Germany has long had the goal of reducing dependency on fossil fuels to protect the climate and secure an independent and stable energy supply.
Germany remains committed to its ambitious energy vision to make the country climate neutral by 2045. The country has set 2038 as the latest date for coal phase out – with a total phase out potentially possible by the end of the decade. Solar energy will be expanded to 215 GW by 2030. And two percent of Germany’s land area reserved for wind energy purposes.
