Study on the energy system transition

What is an energy system? How do conventional and renewable energy systems differ? What conflicts characterise the current system transformation? And what would be possible solutions? On behalf of the Foundation, the Reiner Lemoine Institute has attempted to find answers to these questions.

The study shows that attempts to date to integrate renewable energies into the conventional energy system have their limits. Instead, a transformation of the entire energy system must now be pursued. This requires, not least, an energy policy that, instead of looking back, focuses on and fearlessly tackles the requirements of the renewable energy system ahead.
