EU Commission sees lagging energy transition in Germany
energate messenger / European Commission
The European Commission attests Germany “serious deficits” in certain areas of the energy transition, writes Gerwin Klinger for energate messenger. In the 2018 country report on Germany, the Commission says that Germany is on track to meet its Europe2020 renewables expansion target, but criticises lagging power grid expansion, little energy efficiency achievements, and slow progress on emissions reduction, especially in the transport sector.
