Potentials of Renewable Energies in East Germany (Fiukowski, Wernitz et al. 2016)

Judith Fiukowski, Christian Wernitz, Elisa Gaudchau, Berit Müller

The aim of this meta-analysis is to evaluate relevant studies on the potentials of renewable energies for electricity and heat supply in the eastern German states and to present and compare the results and assumptions of the studies in a condensed manner. The potentials are compared with the respective political energy goals/concepts/programmes of the countries and related to the respective consumption data. Since the methods of determining potential differ greatly, a “fact sheet” was created for all scientific studies examined, which breaks down in detail the assumptions made for the determination of potential as well as the scenarios created.
