Umstrittene Reformpläne: „Erneuerbar, unverzichtbar“ – Demo gegen Energie-Reform
Windradteil und Traktoren im Regierungsviertel: Vor dem Reichstag hat die Erneuerbaren-Branche gegen geplante Änderungen der Bundesregierung beim Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien protestiert.
Demonstrators in Berlin called for reliable political frameworks and continued expansion of renewable energy sources under the slogan "Renewable Energies: Expand, Do Not Restrict." Around 6,000 people attended the protest, which was organized by the German Renewable Energy Industry (BEE) and BEE-affiliated organizations from across Germany. The demonstration, dubbed "Erneuerbar, unverzichtbar," focused on changes to the Renewable Energies Act (EEG) and the expansion of power grids.
Christine Falken-Großer, BEE's chief executive officer, emphasized that the energy transition is a reality, not a fantasy, and stressed the need for reliable decisions. BEE President Ursula Heinen-Esser noted that the protest aimed to showcase the diversity and size of the industry, which requires stable policy conditions. She expressed hope for improvements in the planned reforms.
Wind and solar industry leaders sharply criticized the proposed amendments, with Jörg Ebel, president of the German Solar Industry Association, calling the current proposal "no reform, just a badly made mess." Bärbel Heidebroek, president of the German Wind Energy Association, stated that strengthening German industry requires expanding renewables, not reducing them. Planetary certainty was deemed essential for businesses to continue investing.
