Germany Accelerates Plans for a Sustainable Future
Germany is set to speed up planning and approval procedures across various sectors in 2023, with a particular focus on renewable energy, affordable housing, rail infrastructure, and digital connectivity.

This move will enable faster permitting through changes to mining, water, and environmental laws. The country's Energiewende policy continues to focus on expanding renewable energy sources, with key legal frameworks such as the Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) and the Renewable Energies Heat Act (EEWärmeG) playing a crucial role. Germany is also aligning with the EU's Renewable Energy Directive (RED III), setting ambitious renewable energy targets and stricter sustainability criteria.
