German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz has called for faster progress on updating the country鈥檚 energy grids as this was essential to a coal-free energy system. In an with the Rheinische Post, Scholz, who is also serving as vice chancellor, said Germany needed concrete plans for its future gas and power grids that included greater use of hydrogen, and a law to ensure grid expansion proceeded as planned. Doing without coal would be 鈥渁 key competitive advantage鈥� for Germany in the 2030s,鈥� he told the paper, adding that he was not sure 鈥渋f everyone quite understood what the coal exit means for our country鈥� and that 鈥渢he whole government has a duty to make it work.鈥�

The expansion of Germany鈥檚 power grid to transport electricity from windy northern states to industrial centres in the south is one of the country鈥檚 most important energy transition infrastructure projects. According to the country鈥檚 four major grid operators, Germany will need an additional 1,600 kilomteres of transmission lines and the refurbishment of another 2,900 km by 2030. The energy ministry wants to introduce a new law to accelerate grid planning procedures this year.
