Well before Russia started to wage war on Ukraine , Germany’s government
begun to decide on a wide-ranging renewables reform that should make the
country’s power supply almost 100 percent renewable by 2035. In a draft
paper seen by Clean Energy Wire, the economy and climate ministry proposes
higher renewable capacity targets for 2030, aligning the German clean
energy path with the 1.5 degree warming limit. In a more immediate reaction
to the possible reduction or stop of Russian gas deliveries to Germany,
minister Robert Habeck said that Germany’s gas reserves will last for
this winter and summer – but securing supply for next winter would demand
new procurement sources and weaning the German economy from its appetite
for gas, he added.
