More about the measure

The energy switch in Germany hails a paradigm shift in energy supply. Future energy policy will focus less on maintaining a large capacity reserves and more on making energy available for immediate needs while generating that energy in the most environment-friendly way possible. It is thus necessary to expand supply networks, to introduce new technologies in energy provision and to decentralise and regionalise associated structures. In introducing this paradigm shift, the social issues involved are of key importance. The energy switch can only be achieved if people’s needs and expectations receive adequate consideration, including in terms of participation and equity, and if market requirements are taken into account. The research projects thus place particular focus on acceptance and participation, governance of transformation processes and development options for the energy system.
