Abstract
Germany's energy supply system needs to face a transition with a view to achieve an energy supply that is economically sustainable, reliable, and climate-friendly by 2050. The political hurdles for transitioning to a wholly renewable electricity supply with a strong European perspective, are discussed in this chapter. These include: the new EU energy and environmental policy competency framework pursuant to the Lisbon Treaty; the future of EU climate and energy policy; bilateral and multilateral cooperation; and the policy conditions needed nationally for transition to a wholly renewable electricity supply. Energy efficiency is a key precondition for transitioning to an affordable renewable electricity supply. The regulatory aspects need to address how an optimized electricity transmission grid planning process can be achieved and which economic incentives for electricity storage facility and grid expansion are needed as support. Keywords:Germany's energy supply; renewable electricity; renewable energy act (EEG)
