Schleswig-Holstein state election

18 April 2027 (date announced) · election · confidence: confirmed · status: scheduled · impact 3/5 · EU relevance 3/5

Why it matters

A CDU–Green government that is the model for the coalition the federal CDU rules out, in the state that leads Germany on onshore wind and hydrogen and saw the Northvolt battery plant stall. The result says whether a CDU-led green-industrial line has an electorate, and it re-sets four Bundesrat votes.

What to watch

• Whether the CDU–Green coalition is renewed, and what that says about the CDU’s room to work with the Greens federally.
• Wind, grid and hydrogen policy after the Northvolt insolvency, and the state’s stance on EU battery and clean-tech support.
• The Danish-minority SSW and the small parties as coalition makers.
• Schleswig-Holstein casts 4 of the Bundesrat’s 69 votes: whether the new coalition is aligned with, or abstains against, the federal government on consent laws.
