Germany’s Energiewende – Energy transition

Germany’s Energiewende, or ‘energy transition’ is the world’s best known shift away from nuclear power and fossil fuels towards renewables. The webpage ‘Energy Transition: The Global Energiewende’ keeps track of the evolution of the Energiewende: https://energytransition.org/

​

Yesterday the co-author of a book-length summary of the strategy and achievements of the Energiewende, Arne Jungjohann, summarizes the future of Germany’s energy transition, in the light of the national elections due to be held on September 24. His report can be found here: https://energytransition.org/2017/07/the-future-of-germanys-energiewende/

​

I will shortly carry a review of the book on the transition, by Craig Morris and Arne Jungjohann, entitled ‘Energy Democracy: Germany’s Energiewende to Renewables’: https://www.palgrave.com/de/book/9783319318905
