About

The Federal Government of Germany (Bundesregierung) is the country's executive authority, headed by the Federal Chancellor and composed of federal ministers leading individual departments. It sets and implements national policy, prepares legislation for the Bundestag, and represents Germany in the European Union and international affairs. In the energy field, the government sets the framework for Germany's energy transition, with responsibilities spanning electricity markets, renewable-energy support, grid policy, and climate targets, administered through the relevant federal ministries. It acts within Germany's federal system, alongside the states and within EU energy and climate policy, where many rules are set jointly at the European level.
