Germany's Energy Transition Report Submitted After Parliamentary Inquiry

The energy transition monitoring report was submitted on September 15th, following a parliamentary question from the Left party faction in the Bundestag. The report, commissioned within a tight timeframe, reviews key aspects of Germany's energy transition.

The report, commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE), was prepared by the Institute of Energy Economics at the University of Cologne. BET Consulting GmbH, as the consortium leader, proposed the institute for the assignment. The performance description was sent to BET Consulting on June 12th, with a meta-analysis commissioned due to the short timeframe.

The report covers a wide range of topics, including electricity demand, supply security, network expansion, renewable energy expansion, digitization, and hydrogen ramp-up. Despite requests, the federal government's answer did not provide information on contacts, meetings, or agreements related to the report's commissioning from September 2015 to August 2025. No publicly known connections between the University of Cologne's Institute for Energy Economics and the current Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, Katherina Reiche, were found during this period.

The energy transition monitoring report, now submitted, offers insights into Germany's energy landscape. Its content is copyright protected, and further details may be sought from the BMWE or the University of Cologne's Institute for Energy Economics.
