Germany faces a triple energy crisis in spring 2026: gas supply is collapsing (storage below 38%, prices +36%), electricity grids are overloaded and renewable expansion targets are missed (only 2.7% self-sufficiency in January 2026). In parallel, market concentration among major corporations (RWE, E.ON, EnBW) is reaching antitrust-problematic levels, while the state is forced to enter TenneT. The combination of supply gaps, price explosion and lack of competition threatens Germany's industrial location and increases security policy vulnerability to energy dependence.
