Germany鈥檚 government coalition parties have locked horns over the envisaged 65 percent share of renewables in Germany鈥檚 gross power consumption by 2030. During a debate in parliament ahead of a positive vote on several reforms in Germany鈥檚 energy law, Jens K枚ppen of the conservative CDU/CSU parliamentary group said while the goal was included in the government鈥檚 coalition treaty, it is not set in stone. 鈥淲e still don鈥檛 have an answer regarding the synchronisation of grid capacity with renewables expansion,鈥� K枚ppen said. Intermittent power production by renewable sources is still neglected in the planning and a 鈥渂lind鈥� support of renewables does not help to cover the so-called 鈥�Dunkelflaute,鈥� periods of no sunshine and little wind that regularly occur in winter, he said. K枚ppen argued that Germany would have to erect another 30,000 wind turbines to get anywhere near the 65 percent-goal. 鈥淚 can鈥檛 see where these should be built as we鈥檙e running out of space,鈥� he said. Social Democrat (SPD) Bernd Westphal said the government remained committed to the renewables expansion goal. 鈥淭here are certainly still things that need to be clarified,鈥� Westphal said, citing a removal of the solar power expansion cap, greater support of wind power in less windy regions and the impending law on faster grid expansion as possible boosters for the 65 percent-goal. Fellow SPD-member Matthias Miersch added that repowering of older installations as well as greater flexibility and efficiency measures would also contribute to reaching the goal.
Oliver Krischer of the Green Party criticised both government parties for the changes made in Germany鈥檚 energy law, saying the fact that the 65 percent-goal was not explicitly mentioned in the law amendment 鈥渟hows that you don鈥檛 believe in it yourself.鈥� Krischer argued the new law would ensure that Germany not only misses its 2020 target, but also made the country鈥檚 2030 climate targets unreachable.
