The black-red coalition has agreed on key points for reforming the heating law and scrapped the controversial 65 percent rule for renewable energies. Instead, oil and gas heaters will be allowed with increasing shares of green fuels. Environmental groups and the Greens criticize the changes as a setback for climate protection.
The leaders of CDU/CSU and SPD held a three-and-a-half-hour coalition committee meeting on budget, climate protection, and other topics, without making concrete decisions. The session at the Chancellery took place confidentially, skipping the usual press conference. Progress was reported on the climate protection program, while issues like fuel prices had already been addressed by the cabinet.

The Greens in the Bundestag plan to organize a constitutional complaint against the 2025 federal budget. They accuse the government of misusing billions of euros from a special fund for infrastructure and climate protection. Lacking votes for a norm control, they seek support from civil society.
