This paper presents scenarios for the electricity supply of Germany’s capital region. All scenarios were numerically evaluated in hourly time steps using a cost optimisation approach for the years 2020 and 2030. Furthermore, we studied the transmission capacities of extra-high voltage transmission lines and found them to be sufficient for the energy distribution within the investigated region.
