Since the beginning of this year, the hidden concerns of insufficient energy supply and reserves such as natural gas such as Germany have continued to appear. With the evolution of the recent situation of Russia and Ukraine, the German government discussed within the protection of energy security issues. German energy transformation may accelerate.


Haber, Deputy Prime Minister of Germany and Ministry of Economic and Climate Protection, said on the 3rd that Germany cannot ban Russia's energy imports, but must seek alternatives. According to the latest German media reports, the German Federal Ministry of Economy and Climate Protection proposed that the target of 100%of renewable energy power generation is planned to advance to 2035, 15 years earlier than the previous goals. Analysts pointed out that although a "feasible alternative solution" could not be found in the short term, Germany was taking positive actions on energy transformation.


Data show that 55%of Germany's natural gas imports come from Russia, of which almost all of them rely on Russia's natural gas. Habeck acknowledged on the 3rd that importing energy from Russia is necessary for "establishing price security and energy security". Germany's natural gas inventory is at a "scarce level." Data show that on January 30 this year, after several weeks of natural gas reserves, Germany had fallen to about 37%, and two years ago, the storage level was about 90%at the same time. As of February 28, the level of natural gas reserve in Germany was less than 30%, and only about 7 billion cubic meters of natural gas among the reserve tanks. According to the German government on February 1, it needs 40%of the storage level to cope with the extreme cold for 7 days; if it is not limited to the cold current of 30 days, the ideal storage level should be 50%. Essence The German government announced the relevant process of the "Beixi-2" project, which made the current supply tension. However, the German "Spiegel" Weekly quoted German government people as saying that during the remaining time of the current heating period, even if Russia stopped supply, German natural gas supply could still ensure safety.


Germany has a long history of energy. It has already begun discussions on energy transformation, but most of them only stay in verbal. Guo Yan, an expert at German issues and a professor at the School of Foreign Language of Northwestern University of Technology, said that from the recent statement of the German Federal Prime Minister, Tonalz, it can be seen that Germany has seriously considered the transformation of the energy policy and actively took action. When speaking in the Federal House of House a few days ago, Shuerz pointed out that it will increase the amount of natural gas reserves and accelerate the development of established renewable energy strategies. At the same time, it will also build two liquefied natural gas terminals in Bolonsbit and William Port. Receive liquefied natural gas from the United States. In addition, Germany is planning to accelerate the development of renewable energy projects such as wind and solar energy. According to German media reports, Germany is preparing to speed up the Parliament through the "Renewable Energy Law". It is planned to meet all power generation needs with renewable energy by 2035. According to the latest plan, by 2030, the proportion of German planning wind and solar power generation accounted for 80%, and in 2035, it would be fully generated by renewable energy. By 2035, the German -based wind power power capacity will be doubled to 110 GW, offshore wind power generation capacity will reach 30 Gaval, and solar power generation capacity will reach 200 Gaval.


Germany had set a clear schedule for energy transformation: shut down all nuclear power plants in 2022, eliminated coal power in 2038, and carbon neutrality in 2045. The situation in Russia and Ukraine has triggered whether German politics needs to be realized early and how to ensure energy security.


Harzelov, governor of Saxon-Anhart, Germany, pointed out in a needle that under the current circumstances, it is "irresponsible" to quickly close German coal power plants. According to German media, the Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy of Beiwellia Andreas Pingkwat has invited other Federal State Energy Ministers to attend and proposes a document about energy supply security. Early eliminate coal power. However, Habeck believes that the operation of coal -fired power plants can only mean that it rely on hard coal from abroad for a longer period of time.


The German government has reached a decision to completely withdraw from nuclear energy by 2022, and the current only surviving nuclear power plants will be retired at the end of this year.


Guo Yi believes that in order to accelerate the reliance of energy, Germany will do its best to coordinate the EU's energy transformation and vigorously develop renewable energy, but this will also lead to the continuous rise of energy prices and trouble the German economic recovery.


European natural gas prices have maintained at a high level since the record high of last year. Recently, the tension of Russia and Ukraine has once again pushed up its price. Affected by the soaring energy prices, Germany's inflation rate in February has risen to 5.1%. The German Bank of Germany is expected to rise to 5%this year.
