Die Ampel-Regierung hat die Energiewende deutlich beschleunigt. Insbesondere der Ausbau der Solarenergie kam gut voran. Die Windenergie liegt derzeit zwar hinter dem Plan, aber die Rahmenbedingungen für einen künftig rascheren Zubau von Windkraftanlagen haben sich stark verbessert. Zudem...

The so-called traffic light coalition is facing a challenge: it has set ambitious energy policy targets, but can only achieve them if the pace of the energy transition is increased significantly. To contribute to the current energy policy debate, the Ampel-Monitor Energiewende (Monitor of the...

The massive expansion of wind power and solar PV is the primary strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in many countries. Due to their variable generation profiles, power sector flexibility needs to increase. Geographical balancing enabled by electricity grids and temporal flexibility...

Three quarters of the European Union's greenhouse gas emissions stem from burning coal, oil and natural gas to produce energy services, including heating for buildings, transportation and operation of machinery. The transition to climate neutrality means these services must be provided without...

While wind power is considered key in the transition towards net zero, there are concerns about adverse health impacts on nearby residents. Based on precise geographical coordinates, we link a representative longitudinal household panel to all wind turbines in Germany and exploit their staggered...

Mit ambitionierten energiepolitischen Zielen hat die Ampel-Regierung vor zwei Jahren ihre Arbeit aufgenommen. Zur Halbzeit der Legislaturperiode ist die Erfolgsbilanz gemischt - in einzelnen Bereichen sind gute Fortschritte erzielt worden, in anderen klaffen große Lücken zwischen Ist- und...
