52 Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has become one of the leading federal states in the field of renewable energies and offers excellent growth opportunities in this area. It was already the first federal state to be able to cover 100 per cent of its electricity demand from locally produced renewable energies back in 2013. The federal government‘s expansion targets will lead to a considerable need for investment in renewable energies in the coming years in the area of onshore and offshore wind energy plants, photovoltaics and the hydrogen industry. The state‘s locational advantages are perfectly natural: fresh wind from the Baltic, the most hours of sunshine in Germany, favourable geothermal conditions and free space for ideas and investments. The sector already employs a total of around 15,000 people in MecklenburgVorpommern and generates an annual turnover of around 3.7 billion euros. Ecology is a real economic factor in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern!
