"The real path to energy independence is to exit fossil fuels," said Robert Habeck, Germany's minister for economic affairs and climate action, in Berlin at the beginning of March. The same week, Germany's federal government introduced a package of laws that aim by 2035 to enable electricity supply from renewable sources.

Experts believe the goal is achievable. However, the pace of expansion – for example in wind energy – has to increase significantly and industry must invest in energy-efficient buildings and production processes. Exhibitors at HANNOVER MESSE show technological solutions for the energy transition from 30 May to 2 June. Habeck announced his visit to HANNOVER MESSE today.
