⚡ Germany's energy future hinges on the choices we make in the upcoming elections! ⚡ As Germany approaches its federal election on February 23th, the energy policies of major parties are under the spotlight. With the country aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% compared to 1990 levels by 2030, each party's stance on climate and energy will significantly shape our energy transition. 🌍 For startups and investors in our sector, this is a moment to align with parties that support renewable energy and provide a stable political environment for investment. 💰 Germany's path to becoming a competitive investment destination for clean energy is clear: we need stable, long-term policies for renewable infrastructure expansion, simplified permitting processes for heating modernization and targeted incentives that make the energy transition economically viable. #EnergyTransition #ClimateTech #Elections
