energiewende

The energy transition refers to the comprehensive transformation of the German energy supply towards renewable sources. It is currently a trending topic as the federal government is presenting plans to accelerate the implementation of climate goals in order to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This could lead to an increased discussion about the role of renewable energies in German energy policy. The energy transition has been a central aspect of German climate policy since the 1990s and has already led to a significant expansion of renewable energies.
