"The German government has approved a bill banning new oil and gas heating
systems from 2024 that opposition parties claimed would impose “incalculable
costs” on homeowners.
The bill, which resolves a dispute between liberals and Greens in Olaf Scholz’s
three-party coalition, stipulates that any heating system installed in new or
old buildings after January 1, 2024 must be 65 per cent based on renewable
energy. Exemptions will be made for people on low incomes.
“Germany can neither achieve its climate goals nor quickly reduce its
dependence on fossil fuels without a rapid sea change in the heating of
buildings,” the bill said.
But the legislation attracted fierce criticism from homeowners’ groups. “The
government wants to push through the energy revolution with a crowbar,” said
Kai Warnecke, head of Haus & Grund, an association of property owners.
The measure will speed up the shift to heat pumps, solar panels and hydrogen
boilers powered by renewables in German buildings. It is seen as a crucial part
of Berlin’s efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045."
