Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has made the global energy supply network unstable. In particular, concerns about power shortages in Europe are growing. The Eiffel Tower, a symbol of Paris that is always bright, is being turned off early due to the energy crisis. In particular, Europe is making efforts to tighten energy as it expects the energy shortage crisis to become more serious this winter. Germany, France and Spain have restricted the winter heating temperature of government offices to 19 degrees Celsius, while Germany has announced that it will not turn on night lights for government offices and monuments. How does Germany, which aims to achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible by 2045, overcome this crisis? The renewable energy law will be changed to EEG, including a plan to raise the proportion of renewable energy electricity in Korea from 46% last year to 80% in 2030, and the cumulative installation of renewable energy power plants in Germany will be increased 2-4 times by 2030. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who took office at the end of last year, decided to phase out coal-fired power generation by 2030 by further strengthening his eco-policy under former Chancellor Angela Merkel, who set a goal of escaping coal-fired power generation by 2038. To this end, the government plans to significantly increase the number of renewable energy power generation facilities and increase the proportion of gas-fired power generation facilities using natural gas. Germany, which has maintained its nuclear-free stance, is showing signs of change, with the possibility of extending the operation of the three nuclear power plants, which had been scheduled to be closed by the end of this year. In the face of such controversy, German Deputy Prime Minister Robert Habeck said, “We will not extend the operation of three nuclear power plants, but we will maintain two nuclear power plants as reserve power sources by mid-April next year.” Whether to increase the proportion of nuclear power plants for eco-friendly discussions on natural gas thermal power generation and carbon neutrality is always a key issue. Germany also seems unable to completely break away from this dilemma. In these discussions, we will need clear criteria for energy development and how to view related policies and insight into greenwashing.
