The German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs has approved measures to streamline solar deployment, with a target of 215 GW of installed capacity by 2030.
The German government approved the draft “Solar Package 1” bill this week to ensure annual installations of 22 GW by 2026 and “to remove obstacles,” according to German Economics Minister Robert Habeck.
I'm not exactly sure how Germany will construct 215 GW of solar capacity by 2030 when its current solar capacity is 67 GW and its entire current electricity capacity is 211 GW. 100% solar? I guess it would be nice to have that opportunity at peak production levels, even if it's unrealistic to be sourced that way 24/7. In any case, seven years of annual new 22 GW installations would put them at that value. Perhaps I am mixing up some of the numbers, or this article is. I was under the impression that the government was aiming for 80% renewables (of any type) by 2030.
Germany's net-zero target is in 2045. However, the country will probably miss its target, as well as its earlier target of cutting emissions by 65% (compared to 1990 levels) by 2030. They're apparently at 40% right now. It seems that electricity generation is not the real issue here, but rather industries like construction, whose processes embed a certain amount of emissions. Transportation also remains a polluter in lieu of fully electric locomotives on rails and roads.
Another thing to keep in mind is that in Germany, 215 GW of solar capacity will be roughly 22 GW of actual energy production based on actual capacity factor. This would of course need to be...

Anyone here know what a biodiversity solar park is? I can't recall hearing about them before.
Extensive agrivoltaic systems meeting extensification criteria will receive a bonus, and biodiversity solar parks will receive additional funding through separate ordinance authorization.

Good clarification!
