Germany Already Rationing Energy…”Avoid Using Electric Appliances Until After 11 A.M.!
Watts Up With That ^ | January 4, 2025

Welcome to Germany’s green economic miracle. The year is 2025!
Germany’s so-called Energiewende (transition to renewable energies) has had one unmistakable result: Germany now finds itself rapidly nearing the brink of a third world country where the power supply is no longer reliable and brownouts becoming more and more a daily routine.
What’s happening is the opposite of what was once promised by the know-it-all climate wisemen: “Green energies would lead to a clean and prosperous country that would be the envy of the world.
So much for their fantasies.
The reality, as reported yesterday by Germany’s leading daily, Bild here: Germans in south Germany are now being told that their laundry and e-car charging are to be done only at certain times!
According to online Bild yesterday: “People in Baden-Württemberg should use as little electricity as possible on Friday from 8 am to 11 am. The transmission capacities of the power lines from the north of Germany to the southwest were over-utilized,”
Consumers were asked to avoid the use of all energy-intensive appliances.
Grid operator TransnetBW issues energy supply red alert yesterday
Recall that Germany’s green energy masterminds decided that it would be best to decommission the country’s fleet on nuclear power plants, and to produce weather-dependent power with wind farms operating in the north of country, and then supply it to southern Germany via power transmission lines. There’s on problem with the masterplan from the green masterminds: the wind doesn’t blow all the time and so shortages result and rationing becomes necessary!
According to the StromgGedacht from grid operator TransnetBW in Stuttgart, to avoid overloading the grid: “Electric vehicles or batteries (of laptops etc.) should also not be charged from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. if this can be avoided.”

Brew your morning coffee the night before. It’ll still be good in the morning.

So magic pixie dust is in short supply? Greeniacs deeply saddened.
Whoever could have foreseen what would happen if you let greeniacs plan your energy supply and delivery systems?

They could all move in together. 3 or 5 families in the same apartment would save energy.

No electricity?
Perhaps it’s time to invest in German washboard companies.
(Or maybe start one if none exist.)

They are rationing because they are at war.
It is the war of their government against their people.
We see that in a lot of places.

“Electric vehicles or batteries (of laptops etc.) should also not be charged from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. if this can be avoided.”
Batteries of laptops is silly, but EVs do suck a lot of juice. I expect, sooner than later, the word “should” (above) will chance to “can”, meaning that EVs will be locked out from charging when the grid cannot support charging, which could be several hours in a day, or maybe several days in a row.
They have no other option at this point, short of blackouts.
