Expensive offshore wind farms are not in a good position at the moment, and Donald Trump even wants to stop new projects in the USA. However, if the EU states join forces, significantly more offshore wind farms could be built in Europe.

Who owns the land and who is allowed to use it for what? In Germany, competition for land is becoming increasingly fierce and land prices are rising sharply. This puts a strain on agriculture, nature conservation, and the climate. But there are political ideas to alleviate the problem.

China plans to build at least 200 gigawatts of new wind and solar power annually. However, there are signs that the country curtails wind and solar parks more frequently than the official data indicates. One reason is the low level of electricity trading between the provinces.

The costs for EEG remuneration were 18.4 billion euros in 2024. This is less than in many previous years, but more than was planned in the budget. Cost savings in other KTF items cover the additional costs.

Germany's emissions dropped by another three percent in 2024, according to calculations by Agora. This decline is largely due to the renewable energy boom and a decrease in coal-fired power generation. In contrast, emissions in the industrial, building, and transport sectors saw little reduction. Overall, emissions are now 48 percent below 1990 levels, meeting the 2024 target set by the Climate Protection Act.

Germany still falls well short of its wind power expansion targets. However, the record results of the latest tender for onshore wind farms suggest that they could be achieved in 2026. The numerous legislative changes initiated by the German Ministry for Economic Affairs have the desired effect.

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.
