Germany has announced a €50 billion solar power expansion plan to meet its climate targets and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
The initiative will see millions of solar panels installed on rooftops, highways, and farmland, with subsidies provided to households and businesses.
Officials say the move is crucial as Europe faces rising energy costs due to geopolitical tensions. Environmental groups welcomed the plan but warned about land-use conflicts.
Germany’s renewable sector already employs more than 400,000 people, and this new push is expected to create thousands of additional jobs.
