Renewable energies: Bad news everywhere – at least the energy transition is making progress

Article summary

The year 2025 brought progress in the climate-neutral restructuring of the economy, especially in the global expansion of solar energy and electromobility. Germany has also seen success in its energy transition, despite the need for more green electricity. The expansion of wind and solar energy was higher than in previous years, but the expansion targets could be missed. Approvals for wind turbines increased, even in previously skeptical regions. The restructuring of the electricity system requires efficient networks and storage facilities, while the expansion of the electricity grids remains too slow and expensive. There was a certain degree of continuity in other sectors such as transport and building heating, but challenges such as replacing heating systems in existing buildings remain.
