Solar and Wind Power: Higher Expansion Limits
The government wants to make it possible for municipalities to benefit more from the financial returns of onshore wind power to strengthen support for wind power projects.
In order to further accelerate the switch to renewable energy, the governing coalition intends to abolish the limit on photovoltaic installations immediately and raise the expansion target for offshore wind power from 15 GW to 20 GW by 2030, which would provide planning security for investments in this sector. There is now even a discussion about targeting 40 GW by 2040.
