Deprived of Russian natural gas, and having closed its nuclear plants, Germany is also behind on its wind energy goals.
A new report from the wind energy association Bundesverband WindEnergie shows that the country is far off from meeting its targets for wind energy installations—an important factor in achieving its set goal of producing 80% of electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
The report showed that though windmill installation was speeding up, “the expansion falls short of the requirements for reliably achieving an expansion target of 115 GW in 2030.”
