The German government has reached an agreement on the ban on new gas and oil heating systems. From 2024 every newly installed heating system must be powered by 65 percent renewable energies.
If old heating systems break down after 2024, there will be short transition periods of three years. The 65 percent rule for installing new heating systems also does not apply to homeowners who are over 80 years old. The controversial proposal by Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Greens) to ban oil and gas heating has been defused.
