Germany is at risk of facing a generation capacity shortage of up to 30 GW in 2030 and needs to take a bundle of measures besides the rapid expansion of renewables to close the gap, according to the latest issue of McKinsey's energy transition index.
The available capacity at peak load is expected to fall from 99 GW currently to 90 GW in 2030 as a result of the phase-out of nuclear power and fossil fuels, while the peak load is likely to rise to up to 120 GW.
According to McKinsey, the renewables rollout will not be enough to address the issue on the supply side if not combined with the construction of new gas-fired power plants and the temporary extension of the operation of coal-fired power stations.
