On June 11th, 2026 \u2013 finally, after years of work and debate \u2013 the Renewable Energy Expansion Acceleration Act (EABG)<\/strong> was passed. Setting aside the numerous instances of loud political cheerleading \u2013 which is fundamentally justified, because without the enactment of this new legal regime it could not be brought to life and further improved in its upcoming practical application \u2013 and the widely disseminated and now well-known key contents (one-stop shop, overriding public interest, effective integration of planning and project approval levels<\/strong>, etc.), we would like to emphasize a fact that is often underrepresented in (social) media reporting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The enactment of the EABG marks the start of a new round in a race that we have already been running for years<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In order to deliver on the promised pace, what is now needed is, on the one hand, detailed work and strong implementation<\/strong> in the individual procedures. On the other hand, a broader view must be taken from both an overall business standpoint and a project-specific perspective: Particularly where concrete (political and, subsequently, legal) coordinated solutions are lacking \u2013 think, for example, of the tension between nature restoration and the expansion of renewable energy \u2013 but also generally with regard to the individual dynamics of various sub-areas of environmental law, there is a need for systematic, holistic assessments<\/strong> and accordingly optimized implementation approaches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can face these challenges with confidence. Drawing on experience gained in well-established tracks<\/strong>, future steep curves<\/strong> will also be manageable. Our daily work demonstrates that we are well-equipped for this, and this is exemplified by our speaking engagements, which our team undertook on the very day the EABG was passed \u2013 which we would also like to share with you here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
