Out of all of the countries, Germany is considered as one of the best countries to embrace the Green Energy.  It is also very successful worldwide. The “share of electricity produced from renewable energy in Germany”, has increased to 25% in 2012, being at 6.3% in 2000. It reached 20.5% in 2011 that Germany used to produce electricity supply from renewable energy sources. Germany was called “the world’s first major renewable energy economy”. Germany is trying to reach 35% of electricity generated from renewables.  In Germany there are more than 21,607 wind turbines located in the federal area than in any other place. The Germany’s federal government is still working on creating a plan to increase the percent of renewable energy and they have a “particular focus on offshore wind farms.” One of the major challenges is the “development of sufficient network capacities for transmitting the power generated in the North Sea to the large industrial consumers in southern Germany.” One problem that Germany has onto fulfilling its dream are the “soaring electricity bills, rising carbon emissions and growing dependence on Russian gas.” which makes their job harder. Germany is still trying to find support form its neighbors European countries. Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cabinet “approved a plan last week to trim subsidies for solar and wind power.” But this created form problems in the European Union because of giving the German industry an “unfair competitive boost.”
