German Energy Expert Warns Of Germany’s Energy Supply Madness…Energy Security On The Line
By P Gosselin on 11. October 2025
German online Klimanachrichten (Climate News) presents the latest article by energy expert Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt. Germany is in the grips of an energy madness.
Headed for crisis
Vahrenholt warnsthat German energy policy is inexorably heading towards a supply crisis that is foreseeable as early as 2030. With every coal or nuclear power plant shut down, supply security is crumbling as the Federal Government stubbornly adheres to the unrestrained expansion of volatile renewable energies without ensuring sufficient backup capacity.
Even the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) under Klaus Müller warns in its security of supply report: By 2035, up to 35,500 MW of additional controllable capacity will be needed – equivalent to about 70 gas power plants. As early as 2030, a deficit of up to 21,000 MW is expected. This gap will inevitably lead to massive power supply bottlenecks during periods of Dunkelflaute (low wind and no solar radiation).
