PRESS STATEMENT “The Federal Government Must Finally Break the Reform Gridlock in the Energy Transition”

Wolfgang Lemb: “We need a reliable industrial outlook for the wind industry in Germany. The federal government must finally break the deadlock on energy transition reforms and set the course for a stable expansion of wind energy. According to the federal government’s plans, the share of renewable energy is supposed to rise to 65 percent by 2030, but the necessary legal framework has not yet been put in place. On the contrary: The number of approved projects for new wind farm construction is declining. This is the wrong approach. Senvion’s filing for bankruptcy is an alarming development that must be stopped at all costs. The priority now is to provide a clear outlook for employees and do everything possible to secure their jobs.”
