Federal Government Receives Energy Policy Recommendations Report

BERLIN, GERMANY - OCTOBER 31: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz speaks to the media following a meeting with German Federation of Labour Unions (DGB) head Yasmin Fahimi and Federal Union of Employer's Associations (BDA) President Rainer Dulger to discuss the final report on energy policy recommendations from a commission of experts on October 31, 2022 in Berlin, Germany. The report addresses specifically the topic of natural gas and heating in light of consequences stemming from Russia's military invasion of Ukraine. Germany has for decades been heavily dependent on energy imports from Russia, especially natural gas, and is now facing an uncertain winter, both for households and industry, due to the greatly reduced flow of Russian gas.
