German energy policy
The German government has adopted a long-term, cross-sectoral Energy Concept that paves the way for the age of renewable energies. It has formulated guidelines for an environmentally sound, reliable and affordable energy supply to reach its ambitious climate protection goals. The aim is to develop and implement an overall strategy for the period up to 2050.
Energy concept
Germany's federal cabinet recently adopted the government's 6th Energy Research Programme. It sets out the guiding principles and priorities of the government's support policy in the field of innovative energy technologies for the coming years. This support lays the groundwork for an environmentally sound, secure and economical restructuring of Germany's energy supply.
