WISE Lecture Series - The Impact of "Energiewende" on Renewable Energy in Germany
The
term
‘Energiewende’
refers
to
the
current
German
effort
to
transition
to
renewable
energy
sources.
To
combat
the
long
tradition
of
fossil
fuel
energy
generation
the
German
government
established
“The
Renewable
Energy
Act”
in
2000
and
now
offers
incentives
for
renewable
energy.
Dr. Pehlken will
discuss
the
impact
of
these
incentives
with
regards
to
best
practice,
the
need
for
regulation
and
unexpected
outcomes.
All are welcome, refreshments to follow. This is a free event.
