The Energy Transition Industry in Germany

Germany’s is one of the world’s leading fusion energy hubs. It is backed by multi‑billion-euro public investment, a national fusion action plan and a rapidly expanding ecosystem of world‑leading research institutes and private fusion start-ups.

Major investments in the expansion of the transmission and distribution networks are planned as a result of renewable energy integration and the growing consolidation of Europe’s energy markets.

Germany has significantly expanded its photovoltaic capacity, surpassing 108 GW in 2025. A key trend is the rise of plug-in PV systems that enable energy users to generate their own electricity, store in a battery for later use or feed directly into the socket, thereby contributing to the national grid and providing energy savings.

Germany’s National Hydrogen Strategy aims to position the country as a global leader. Key goals include increasing green hydrogen production to at least 10 GW by 2030 and establishing a hydrogen grid with over 1,800 km of pipelines by 2028. 

Germany has significantly expanded its wind energy capacity – reaching over 78 GW in 2025. Wind energy now accounts for more than a quarter of the country's electricity generation. This growth includes both onshore and offshore installations, with a notable increase in repowering older turbines in recent years.
