Niemals gab es einen höheren Ökostrom-Anteil am deutschen Strom-Mix wie im 1. Halbjahr 2017. Windkraft an Land (39 Mrd. kWh), Biomasse (23 Mrd. kWh) und Photovoltaik (22 Mrd. kWh) sind Haupterzeugungsarten. Netzausbau hinkt hinterher.

Die positive Stimmung der vergangenen Intersolar Europe 2016 hallt noch nach, da sendet die Veranstaltung bereits erneut erfreuliche Signale in den Markt: Bereits nahezu 80 Prozent der Ausstellungsfläche der weltweit führenden Fachmesse für die Solarwirtschaft und ihre Partner sind gebucht. Auf einer Fläche von insgesamt 77.000 qm werden gemeinsam mit der ees Europe, Europas größter Fachmesse für Batterien und Energiespeichersysteme, rund 1.200 Aussteller aus aller Welt vom 31. Mai bis 2. Juni 2017 ihre Innovationen präsentieren. Die Ausstellungsfläche nimmt somit im Vergleich zur Veranstaltung 2016 um 17 Prozent zu.
Photovoltaik (PV) boomt nicht ohne Grund weltweit. Vielerorts ist Solarenergie sogar auf dem besten Weg, die günstigste Form der Energieerzeugung zu werden – die Stromgestehungskosten für Strom aus PV liegen in einigen Regionen bereits bei 3-5 Cent pro Kilowattstunde.

Journalists and analysts are in agreement when reviewing the pro’s and con’s of the US and China solar trade war. It’s interesting how they try to figure out who would be the winner or the looser. Gordon Orr, Chairman Asia of McKinsey and Company made clear in his article that the complexities of global production networks aren’t that flexible and easy to substitute than many people think – and consumers in the US and in China will be hit hard if they would carry on that way.

German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina states: “in quantitative terms, bioenergy plays a minor role in the transition to renewable, sustainable energy sources in Germany at the present time and probably in the future. Bioenergy requires more surface area, is associated with higher greenhouse gas emissions and is more harmful to the environment than other renewable sources such as photovoltaic, solar thermal energy and wind energy.”

Der ehemalige Bundesumweltminister Prof. Dr. Klaus Töpfer fordert einen Masterplan der klare Ziele für die Energiewende enthält. Töpfer fordert zudem einen Beauftragten für die Energiewende, der die Energiewende unabhängig umsetzen und verantworten soll. Dieser Beauftragte müsste einen Umsetzungsplan erstellen sowie dessen Einhaltung koordinieren und mit Zwischenzielen überwachen. Der Beauftragte soll auch kontrollieren und transparent die Öffentlichkeit informieren. Auch sollen die Bürger eingebunden werden. Der energiepolitische Sprecher der FDP-Bundestagsfraktion Klaus Breil hingegen ist der Meinung, dass die Forderung von Töpfer marktfremde Tendenzen aufzeigt.

Overall electricity generation in Germany will decrease from 625 terrawatt-hours (TWh) in 2010 to 590 TWh in 2020. This change is attributed to energy efficiency measures and increased imports that will replace the supply lost from nuclear power sources. Despite the fall in overall electricity generation, Frost & Sullivan predicts an increase in installed capacity
