Disinformation about German Electricity Tariffs and Power Imports
In Japan, Germanys Energiewende is currently severely criticized with largely exaggerated and incorrect claims such as the industrial electricity prices are so high that big companies are forced to leave the country, or that Germany after phasing out nuclear power now massively imports electricity generated from reactors in neighboring countries. It is true that Germany faces challenges in its energy transition, but the country makes progress. In Germany, the share of renewable energy in electricity consumption reached 57% in the first half of 2024. If Germany achieves its target of increasing this share to 80% by 2030, the dependence on high-cost fossil fuels will be reduced, and the current issues can be overcome.
