Don’t think the Germans still know how to “get it done”. Afaik their power transmission network hasn’t received significant improvements (even though I had last read something on the subject a few years ago, maybe things have changed) and their energy prices were among the highest in Europe before this war started. I’m also very bearish when it comes to their car industry efforts to transition to EVs, but that’s a slightly different subject.

- nebalee 4y agoRegarding the extensions of the transmission grid the latest monitoring report (in German only) is available here: https://data.netzausbau.de/Vorhaben/Monitoring/Monitoringbericht_Q4-21.pdf https://data.netzausbau.de/Vorhaben/Monitoring/Monitoringber... About 25% is done or currently being build, about 50% is in the approval phase.
