Central to this agenda is the ‘Freiheitsenergien’ (Freedom Energies) plan, which emphasizes geothermal energy, large-scale heat pumps, and the development of Germany’s first green hydrogen power plant. At a state party conference in Landshut, the party reinforced its strategy to transition to renewable sources such as solar, wind, and heat to increase energy independence. A primary objective is the installation of 2 million heat pumps in Bavaria by 2040, aiming to cover 85 percent of eligible homes.
