Ampel wants to build the electricity system of the future. The goal is: 80 percent of electricity should come from renewable energy sources by 2030.
Currently it is just over half. The electricity system should be largely climate-neutral by 2035. Increasing electrification plays an important role in many areas, for example in transport. The new power plants are intended to replace climate-damaging coal-fired power plants and step in when there is no wind and no sun to cover electricity demand.
