🎯 Although Germany met the national #emissions limit of 662 million tons of CO₂ in 2025, it exceeded the target set by the EU Effort Sharing Regulation by 30 million tons of CO₂. The current pace is not enough to achieve Germany's 2030 climate target. To do so, the country would have to save 36 million tons of CO₂ annually from 2026 onwards – about four times as much as in 2025. 6/x

💰 In 2025, the average #electricity price on the stock exchange was 1 cent higher than in 2024 – the reason: higher gas prices at the beginning of the year. For households, the electricity price fell to 40 cents/kWh (-0.6 cents/kWh) – expensive supply contracts from the gas crisis years have expired. 5/x
