Germany has set the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2045, placing its electricity transmission system at the centre of the energy transition. By 2030, installed capacity is expected to reach 215 GW of solar PV, 115 GW of onshore wind and 30 GW of OSW. By 2045, these figures rise to 400 GW of photovoltaics, 160 GW of onshore wind, and 70 GW of OSW. The 2025 NEP anticipates installing large storage capacities between 41 and 94 GW by 2045, which were estimated at 43-55 GW in the earlier plan. Overall, NEP 2037/2045 (2025) marks a decisive shift in Germany’s grid planning philosophy.

With electricity prices up nearly 30% since 2010 across the United States, governors and state policymakers are under growing pressure to help households manage rising energy costs. Many are now turning to an emerging technology gaining traction in Europe: plug-in solar, also known as balcony solar. For the roughly one‑third of U.S. households who rent or for those living in apartments, rooftop systems have largely been out of reach, making plug‑in solar a practical, affordable and viable option for households that have been locked out of the clean energy transition.

The EU set a target for the share of renewable energy of at least 42.5 % by 2030 (up from 25.4 % in 2024). The Commission estimated that half of the EU’s citizens could produce up to 50 % of the EU’s renewable energy by 2050. The report concludes that the EU is unlikely to have at least one renewables-based energy community in every municipality with more than 10 000 inhabitants by 2025, as it had reached only 27 % of its objective by January 2025.
