Germany announced today that it was speeding up its commitment to renewable energy.
In November, the three parties that make up the coalition that runs the German government agreed to a set of broad goals to more prominently integrate renewable energy into the country’s energy plan.
But since Russia invaded Ukraine, Germany has recognized a need to diversify its energy sources away from Russia, and today’s announcement promises the country will receive 80% of its energy from renewables by 2030. This puts the country on track to be near 100% renewable by 2035.
