Germany's energy transition is progressing. Renewable energy sources already cover more than half of Germany's electricity demand. However, as the share of variable wind and solar energy increases, so do the fluctuations in electricity generation. Consequently, flexibility on the supply and...

Germany's energy transition is progressing. Renewable energy sources already cover more than half of Germany's electricity demand. However, as the share of variable wind and solar energy increases, so do the fluctuations in electricity generation. Consequently, flexibility on the supply and...

Renewable energy installations are rapidly gaining market share due to falling technology costs and supportive policies. Meanwhile, the energy price crisis resulting from the Russian-Ukrainian war has shifted the energy policy debate toward the question of how consumers can benefit more from the...

The increasing scale and dynamics of the global market for renewable energy technologies has often resulted in unexpected high deployment volumes in EU Member States. These deployment peaks were particularly strong for solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies in countries using feed-in tariff...

Comparisons of resource assessments suggest that sufficient renewable energy resources are available to allow for large-scale deployment of renewable energy technologies. Economic analysis identifies barriers to the adoption of renewable energy sources resulting from (i) market structure, (ii)...
