That's the goal of the country's ruling coalition. The recent promulgation of the Act on Granting Priority to Renewable Energy will enable this objective to be realized.
Regenerative energy is sky-rocketing in Germany.
Growing particularly fast have been the wind and photovoltaic areas. This was double 1998's total, itself a smashing new record. And the output from photovoltaic facilities, though still small in absolute terms, has been rising even more rapidly. By removing the ceiling and revamping the price supports established by a previous law, the new Act makes sure that the country's regenerative energy sector will stay on this fast track. These falls robbed the old price support system of its commercial viability.
