The energy plans of Germany's coalition government are facing significant challenges, as recent sales figures from the heating industry reveal a sharp decline in demand.

Exclusive data obtained by WELT shows that sales of both heat pumps and gas boilers have plummeted.

This downturn raises concerns about the government's ability to meet its energy transition goals.

However, one type of heating system is bucking the trend and experiencing growth, highlighting a potential shift in consumer preferences.

The situation calls for urgent attention to ensure the success of Germany's energy strategy.
