Acceptability
The Energiewende is a project that spans all walks of society and enjoys broad popular support. For its continued success, this general acceptance is just as important as the acceptance of individual measures.
Data and Tools
EEG-calculator and the “Agorameter” are our flagships, along with many smaller applications and data sets.
Electricity Production
It’s all a bit more complicated than simply replacing nuclear and fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. Rather, the further expansion of renewable energies means a complete transformation of the entire system. The existing legislative framework and the role of the [...]
Hydrogen
Green hydrogen is the missing link to net zero. It can enable a fully renewable energy system and support the path towards climate neutrality for various applications for which direct electrification with renewables is not an option.
Grids
Expanding the power network is today the most cost-effective way to put renewable energy to work where it is needed.
Regulation and Transparency
Transparency in regulating power networks is a democratic right of responsible citizens and consumers, and a transparent network infrastructure is vital to the success of an efficient energy transition. The energy industry needs a transparency transition.
Efficiency
It is obvious that a lean and highly efficient energy system has many advantages. The challenge is to set the right incentives. This is the key to adapting future demand to fluctuating power generation.
Flexibility
An energy system with large fluctuations in power supply must do everything to balance supply and demand.
Key Questions
Energy policy remains the subject of intense debate, but not the question of whether to pursue the energy transition, rather only the question of how.
Agora Industry
The transition to a low-carbon economy will be successful only if Germany’s industrial base remains strong while the share of renewable energies grows. So far, this has been the case. The goal is to maintain this position even when renewables make up 80 percent of the power [...]
Climate Protection
Phasing out coal in a socially acceptable way is crucial to make the Energiewende a success and to meet the 2020 and 2030 goals on climate protection
Learning
The energy transition is a project without precedent. It is therefore important to share existing knowledge with as many partners as possible to foster the transformation of energy systems worldwide.
