Power Plant Strategy: is it a risk for Germany’s reputation as a climate leader?

CLERENS

The Power Plant Strategy presented yesterday was expected to provide more clarity on the role of renewables and energy storage in the country’s roadmap. However, instead of focusing on supporting the further build-out of renewable energies with energy storage, the plan puts forward investments in more gas-fired power plants, with the promise of converting them to run on hydrogen by 2040. Currently, €44 billion subsidies are expected to finance the gas power plant expansion.
