Germany’s federal government has approved a draft law to accelerate the expansion of renewable energy sources in line with the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED) III, newspaper Taz reported. The law, which is designed to shorten the approval process for renewable energy projects, is set to be approved by parliament before the summer recess.
Approved in 2023, RED III mandates a minimum of 42.5 percent of total energy consumed in the EU to be generated from renewable sources by 2030.
