  • By 2030, Germany aims to save 500 Terawatt hours (TWh) of energy thanks to measures set out in the new law, a figure which corresponds to a 9% energy saving goal.
  • Tabled in July 2021, the EU’s level ambition has since been revised upwards because of the war in Ukraine.
  • Companies that consume more than 10 Gigawatt hours (GWh) of energy per year must implement energy management schemes and enact measures that are deemed economically sensible.
