FollowGermany's Energiewende (Energy Transition)
Berlin advances a grid-led next phase of the Energiewende
Key takeaways
- Germany's power transition is past the simple build-more-renewables phase; grid expansion, reserve capacity and congestion costs now shape how fast the system can move.
- Official 2024-2025 evidence shows the electricity transition is still cutting emissions, but buildings, transport and network integration remain the weaker parts of the climate path.
- The 2026 Reiche-led push matters because it could reset where and how quickly new wind and solar projects advance by making network capacity and system costs more decisive.
