Germany’s new energy law sparks backlash from businesses over vague rules
The federal government’s planned reform of the Building Energy Act (GEG) has faced strong criticism from industry groups and businesses. Known as the Gebäudemodernisierungsgesetz, the new law is set to replace the current regulations by 2026. However, many in the sector argue the proposals lack clarity and direction.
The current Building Energy Act requires newly installed heating systems to use at least 65 percent renewable energy. Under the new plans, this rule would remain, but details on implementation remain vague.
The Gebäudemodernisierungsgesetz is scheduled to take effect in 2026, but industry scepticism remains high. Without clearer guidelines, businesses warn that the reform may fail to improve energy efficiency in buildings. The government now faces pressure to refine its plans before implementation.
