IHK warns: Saxony's wind power policy endangers our economy!
Leipzig, Deutschland - In Saxony, the waves are high when it comes to the plans for wind power use. Today, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) has sharp criticism of the politics of the minority government in Dresden. In particular, the IHK is bothered by a draft law that wants to reduce the target for wind power from 2 percent to 1.3 percent. Such constant change of direction not only endanger planning security, but also the economic future of the country, such as [l-iz.de] (https://www.l-iz.de/wirtschaft/Metropolregion/2025/06/ihk-zu-Leipzig-kritungs--sachs-626822) reports.
For Saxon companies, the expansion of renewable energies is not only an environmental level, but also an economic necessity. Wind and solar systems in particular are the load-bearing columns of a modern energy system. The IHK urgently warns of the negative consequences that would bring a lowering of the area to the area, especially in terms of energy prices and investment planning.
The criticism of the Greens
The push of Minister of State Regina Kraushaar is also sharply criticized in the political arena to soften the wind power goals. Wolfram Günther from the Greens emphasizes the need for a stable mix of wind and solar energy for reliable and inexpensive power supply. "A consistent continuation of the expansion of the renewable is essential for the planning security of the Saxon companies," he says, and speaks out for clear framework conditions in order to restore trust in the energy transition. According to gruene-grund-sachsen.de would be a lowering of the area for the entire industry.
It is particularly noteworthy that Saxony lags behind wind energy expansion compared to other federal states. Thomas Löser from the Greens indicates a solar boom in 2024, but a well thought -out mix of both energy sources is essential for a secure energy supply. This shows that the challenges are not due to the expansion itself, but rather at the ability to efficiently use and store the energy generated.on the way to sustainable energy supply
The IHK therefore not only requires a clear stability of the legal framework, but also practical acceptance measures. This could include the financial participation of residents in the profit of wind turbines, but this is not without challenges in view of the high administrative expenditure. Municipal participations and energy communities also play an important role here, which should be actively involved in the expansion of new energy sources. The sachsenenergie.de indicates that acceptance among the population depends on the economic advantages that could benefit the municipalities by expanding the wind power.
Finally, it should be noted that Saxony's economic future depends heavily on a successful structural change. Planning security is the be -all and end -all to guarantee long -term affordable energy prices and economic growth. Time is forced and it is to be hoped that politics will correct the soft in time and not only play with populist suggestions.
