Actually - even if it grew as expected, the quadroubling was still far too much. Some energy developers and municipalities express frustration - but it's better to plan locally for goals on renewables which is needed. Remember - we already have ~65% renewable electricity in the mix. 👇

E.g. the 3 GW offshore tender recently would have increased the capacity in West Denmark by about 60% in one go. Clearly that is overreaching the immediate need. There is a need to have smaller tenders and to plan for longer 2045 onshore renewables - which likely still not will be a quadrupling. 👇

Key takeaways:
• The original target was always meant to be met on market terms—not at any cost.
• Policy initiatives continue: removing barriers, increasing neighbor compensation, and fast-tracking EU measures.

In my opinion, achieving the 2030 targets relies on:
👇

• Enhanced energy savings in buildings
• Expanded district heating systems and large-scale/mega heat pumps + individual heat pumps
• Increased electrification of industry and electric vehicles
• Sufficient renewable capacity to match these demands (around 5-7 GW solar PV and 11-12 GW wind power)
👇

• A stronger focus on supply security with flexible power plants (~5 GW) to cover 10–20% of production

The real solution lies in using proven tech + smart policy measures to phase out fossil fuels+ ensuring a secure, balanced energy supply

Look, we know you are a greedy, misanthropic secular ideologist who uses Germany as a bugbear while you happily kill off your own populace to agrandise rabis & suchlike
