Germany has various options when it comes to implementing the EU Internal Electricity Market Regulation. However, a study by the Stiftung Umweltenergierecht (Environmental Energy Law Foundation) shows that it is unlikely to be possible to avoid a repayment obligation for new wind and solar power plants in the event of high electricity prices.

China wants to build new coal-fired power plants by at least 2027. They are intended to compensate for fluctuations in renewable energies, which is a technical challenge. The new power plants should also capture CO₂ and add biomass where possible.

The trend towards oversubscribed bids for onshore wind turbines is continuing in Germany. The German Federal Network Agency published new figures on Tuesday. The turnaround could see expansion return to the expansion path of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) by early 2026.

Renewable energies continue to thrive worldwide - but so do fossil fuels. High oil and gas demand and political headwinds currently prompt many companies and countries to massively retract their climate targets and decarbonization pledges.

Some of the projects left unfinished after the collapse of the current German government coalition were voted on in the German parliament this week. The new regulations involve the subsidization and regulation of various forms of renewable energy.

Renewable energies are an integral part of China's policy. The current, 14th Five-Year Plan primarily promotes the technological areas of energy and materials and focuses on the development of alternative energy sources. In contrast to the previous five-year plan, the focus is no longer on achieving global technological leadership in renewable energy technologies, but rather on expanding the infrastructure and strengthening the economic and secure energy supply. In the 14th Five-Year Plan, the Chinese Ministry of Energy (NEA) has given concrete figures for renewable energy. Thus, the total installed capacity of wind power and solar is to reach 1200 GW by 2030. As early as 2020, China's energy system experienced record renewable energy growth despite the coronavirus crisis. By 2025, the final 16.5 percent should be reached.
