New report out on new nuclear power in Switzerland. 3 key lessons: Even if all processes go smoothly, a new plant will not come online until around 2050. Integration into EU-electricity infrastructure critical for back-up. Substantial financial state support needed.

Today is the 2nd day of our international workshop on sector-coupling and multi-system dynamics in sustainability transitions

Third phase: Acceleration
incl. rapid diffusion and decline

Second phase: Take-off

I use these slides to explain the phases in the energy #transition - with the example of electricity in Germany.
Updated yesterday with the latest figures: renewables above 60%

First phase: Pre-development

Good news! After years of moderate growth, Germany seems back on track to meet its onshore #windpower target of 115 GW for 2030.

High time for some positive news.
New study by @ember-energy.org shows the progress of the energy #transition in the EU. Renewables cover almost 50% of electricity generation.
Steep rise of #wind and #solar, decline of #coal, #nuclear, and (more recently) #gas.
