State Energy Ministers Gather in Rostock-Warnemünde to Discuss Energy Transition with Katherina Reiche
State energy ministers will convene today at the Energy Ministers' Conference in Rostock-Warnemünde, where they will meet with the newly appointed Federal Minister of Economics, Katherina Reiche, for the first time.
The Conference will focus on the shaping of the energy transition, with Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Minister of Energy, Wolfgang Blank, emphasizing the importance of intelligent expansion and fair promotion of renewable energy, citizen involvement, and economic competitiveness.
Tobias Goldschmidt, the Green energy minister from Schleswig-Holstein, has called for continued joint efforts in the renewable energy sector, lauding the progress made in recent years. He believes the conference should underscore the resolve to continue the energy transition.
The meeting arrives amid controversy over Reiche's advocacy for the construction of new gas power plants, which has met criticism from environmental groups and the Greens, who argue that continued reliance on fossil fuels jeopardizes the goals of the energy transition and climate protection.
