Omo, e be like say wind no strong for Germany this year. Data wey dem release show say renewable energy for the country don almost dey stall for 2025. This wahala don dey happen as dem dey fear say Chancellor Friedrich Merz go start to shift from green policies wey di last government put for ground.

As e stand now, renewable sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric na 58.8% of di energy mix, just small lift from 58.5% wey dem get last year. E mean say dem still dey far from dat 80% wey dem wan hit by 2030, but dem dey try small small.

If we check back small, for 2021, na only 43% of di energy mix na renewables. Though wind power na di big boss wey still dey reign for Germany, e don drop small while solar power don rise because production capacity don increase. Na wetin di energy regulator talk be dat one.

Environmental Action Germany don talk say di stagnation wey we dey see for renewable energy share get as e be because dem no get enough wind for di first half of this year. Dem dey fear say dis new coalition under Merz fit slow down di green power shift wey dem don dey hustle to achieve. Constantin Zerger, wey be di head of energy and climate protection for di NGO, don shout say Economy Minister, Katherina Reiche, don talk am several times say she wan slow down di expansion of renewables and dat one no good at all.

Pipo wey dey criticize di government don also notice say dem dey plan to expand gas power and dem wan even remove some solar subsidies. Na dem dey claim say na this kind move go favor big businesses more than di environment.

Merz don sha respond to all di wahala, sey di government dey take pragmatic approach to di energy transition wey go also keep di costs manageable. E no wan make am too hard for people wey dey run businesses. For di last regime, na di Greens party dey run di economy ministry and dem dey push for big changes wey environmentalist dey hail, but di businesses dey fear say dem go suffer from extra wahala wey go affect dem bottom line.

Last year, solar energy don finally pass lignite (brown coal) for di energy mix, but e don dey clear say di share of coal and natural gas don still dey increase. Wetin we fit carry for dis gist be say as di world dey try change to more green energy, na so di political leaders for Germany dey find how to balance di increases and still make dem jolly-jolly for business side.
