Schleswig-Holstein and Baden-Württemberg are leaders in the field of renewable energies. This is the result of a federal state comparison that was carried out Renewable Energy Agency (AEE) According to the scientists, the two countries are making the most efforts to increase the share of renewable energies in the heating sector and are almost equal in terms of the index points achieved (0.555 and 0.554 out of a maximum of one achievable point). They also have particularly ambitious goals for expanding renewable energy and climate protection. Saarland comes last with 0.248 points. The authors attest that the state has had little success in expanding renewable energies. There is also a lack of an energy policy program.

No federal state can rest on the results. The experts demand further efforts from all countries to achieve the federal government's climate goals. In order to serve as a role model, countries could set a good example and supply their properties with more renewable energy than before.

Four groups of indicators are included in the overall result, which measure the efforts and successes in the use of renewable energies and in technological and economic change. This creates the overall result shown on the map.

No federal state can rest on its laurel. The experts call for further efforts by all states to achieve the federal government's climate targets. In order to set an example, the states could, for example, set a good example and supply their properties with more renewable energies than before.

Four groups of indicators are included in the overall result, which measure the efforts and successes in the use of renewable energies and technological or economic change. The overall result, which is shown on the map, is formed from these indicators.
