☆ Leftist Upstart Threatens to Shake Up German Politics
  + stars: | 2023-10-23 | by ( Christopher F. Schuetze | More About Christopher F. Schuetze | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
A significant new fissure opened on Monday, when one of the country’s most prominent leftist politicians, Sahra Wagenknecht, announced that she would form her own party, throwing up yet another wild card and challenging the political mainstream. Few Germans do not know Ms. Wagenknecht. A gifted orator, she has made something of a brand for herself with her biting criticism of the government and over-the-top political rhetoric. True to form, the association she founded with four others to build the party is named after herself: the Sahra Wagenknecht Coalition, or BSW in the German acronym, making it the first party in postwar Germany built entirely around one figurehead. Ms. Wagenknecht said the party would be a home for those who feel abandoned by mainstream politics, and stand for “reason and fairness.”

☆ Germany's far-left star quits post-Communists to found populist party

German politician and member of the Bundestag for The Left party Sahra Wagenknecht attends a press conference to present the "Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht, BSW" in Berlin, Germany October 23, 2023. "Many no longer know who to vote for or vote for the right out of rage and despair," she said. "At a time of crisis.... Left legislators should concentrate on doing their job," said Left party leader Janine Wissler. That fragmentation has let the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party come second in several recent elections - drawing on a pool of voters the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance could also tap. A Civey poll for T-Online found some 20% of voters could imagine voting for her new party.

☆ Germany's photovoltaic system demand set for double-digit growth this year, lobby says
  + stars: | 2023-06-13 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
BERLIN, June 13 (Reuters) - German demand for photovoltaic power systems is expected to grow at a double-digit rate this year with solar storage system installations by mid-year topping 2022's total, the BSW solar power association said on Tuesday. Solar power systems are booming in Europe's biggest economy as consumers seek alternatives to expensive fossil fuels following a drop in Russian supply last year. BSW said it expected new solar power installed capacity this year to be between 9 to 11 gigawatts (GW), up from 7.4 GW in 2022, meaning an increase of up to 49%. A total output of 5.3 GW of solar power systems were installed in 2021. Annual solar parks production currently covers more than 10% of the country's electricity needs, BSW said, adding solar power expansion on commercial buildings was still weak compared to residential and solar parks.

☆ Germany's Solar Valley could shine again as Europe strives to close energy gap

It is also reacting to a new U.S. law that has raised concern the remains of Germany's formerly-dominant solar industry could relocate to the United States. China's production is also around 10%-20% cheaper that in Europe, separate data from European Solar Manufacturing Council ESMC shows. Dries Acke, the Policy Director at industry body SolarPower Europe, said the body had written to the European Commission urging action. Berlin-based residential solar energy supplier Zolar said orders have risen by 500% year-on-year since the Ukraine war began in February, but clients might have to wait for six-to-nine months to get a solar system installed. "The signs for the solar industry in Germany are much, much better now," he said.
