permitting for wind power got radically faster and easier this year, in the first half there was an increased in approved onshore wind capacity of 70% compared to last year
it will take 3-4 years for all of those to get built, but the horses are out of the barn
solar energy permits got radically easier as well, for small scale under 2 Kwh systems now its possible to do all the paperwork online

Congratulations to Germany for consistently keeping up the pace

It could have happened way earlier but the CDU/CSU and FDP (with the silent approval of the SPD) intentionally kneecapped the entire german Solar and Wind industry a few years back.

What is going on in Spain? Can someone explain their low solar capacities?
When driving in Germany vs. Spain it’s really a contrast that you hardly see solar in Spain compared to (southern) Germany installed (it noticed it is gradually growing in Spain though).

You can clearly see when the corrupt Spanish politicians killed the renewables sector following the mandate of their owners. Once their owners figured out how to make it profitable, the corrupt Spanish politicians revived it again. And you can clearly see that too.

Thanks to progressive “Ampel”-government.
Sadly it’s unpopular today and wont survive elections 2025… i guess gernamy will go back to become conservative for the next 16 years again.

The most critical issue going forward will be battery storage. Current batteries have roughly 40% of the pumped storage capacity, and that needs to increase a whole lot till 2030. Essentially, Germany needs to cover for a couple days of strongly reduced power production, and needs to buffer supply peaks.
Still the ampel (current) government and the greens are being blamed for everything, despite them actually doing quite well handling the energy crisis while transitioning into a low carbon future.

*massive budget allocation and geostrategic needs matter

All the south of Italy below Rome could easily obtain the 100% of their energy from solar and wind but no, the northern part still produce more clean energy than that area, is absurd

This will lower the energy prices, right?

So, when does Germany expect to actually get a CO2/kWh average that’s actually low?
Yesterday at 13:00 was still chugging at 170g/kWh at peak solar and at 20:00 it’s at 500g/kWh.
When can we expect like 50s g/kWh across the entire day?

well and the fact that you can make insane bank with the guaranteed pricing for renewable energy

If they don’t stop using nuclear they would be much more clean.

Current trends [don’t look bad](https://battery-charts.rwth-aachen.de/main-page/), but there’s need for cheaper batteries still.
