“…Although there was some opposition from those southern Länder that relied heavily on nuclear power, the Energiewende was initially very popular with the German public (von Hirschhausen 2014). Indeed, the country's energy transition served as a model that other developed countries sought to emulate (Hennicke and Welfens 2012), to the extent that the German term began to be used in English-language debates (Beveridge and Kern 2013). Germany was also one of the few developed economies to meet its commitments under the Kyoto Protocol (in its case a reduction in GHG emissions of 21 per cent between 1990 and 2012), which also suggested that its approach was successful.…”

“…Moreover, setting the agenda paves the way for substantial preparations to make the case in front of other actors. For example, upon agreement on the four agenda items in the framework of Germany's energy transition, most German federal ministries as well as the 16 German states (Bundesländer) developed their own positions and launched their own technical research on certain themes and implementation of goal strategies [52]. In addition, those affected actors from the politics stream, such as actors representing the energy, transport, and industry sectors, mobilised their constituents and networks to seek popular support for their proposals to implement the four major agenda [53].…”

The Phases Model of the Transformation to Sustainability (T2S)—Structuring through the Negotiation Perspective

The complexity of linking sustainability with transformation necessitates a critical re-evaluation of the ways the actors, processes, issues, structures, and outcomes related to the transformation to sustainability (T2S) can be understood. At the same time, achieving T2S is highly dependent on policies based on technical solutions that can prompt needed behavioural change, whereas these technical solutions are not always compatible with both planetary and societal boundaries. Therefore, achieving T2S also calls for evaluating the normative foundations of policies and actions. This paper contends that T2S is significantly defined by the multiplicity of negotiation processes. This justifies a deeper look at T2S from the perspective of negotiation studies. T2S is composed of different phases, each of which has a different set of actors, resources, and audiences. This paper introduces a theoretical model as an analytical meta-framework to structure how T2S unfolds in an orchestrated manner. This model builds on negotiation theories to focus on the actors’ perspectives on T2S. It proposes the division of the transformation process into phases—entry point, learning, sequencing, disrupting, and fortifying. Each of these phases is analysed to determine the “quality” of cooperation that can help fulfil the tasks required to master the so-called “cognitive games” of T2S (ripeness game, power game, bargaining game, policy game, scaling game). Moreover, insights are presented to explain how the designated milestones can be achieved to indicate the advancement to the next phase and eventually entrench the transformation process. The findings resulting from the analysis of the phases of T2S present potential lessons and opportunities for both theorists and practitioners/policymakers.

The widely recognised Energiewende, (“energy transition”) in Germany has lost its original momentum. We therefore address the question of how the transition process to a new energy system can be reignited. To do so, we developed the “5Ds approach”, which lays the groundwork for a process analysis and the identification of important catalysts and barriers. Focusing on the five major fields required for the energy transition, we analyse the effects of: (1) Decarbonisation: How can efficiency and renewable energies be expanded successfully? (2) Digitalisation: Which digital solutions facilitate this conversion and would be suitable as sustainable business models? (3) Decentralisation: How can potential decentralised energy and efficiency opportunities be developed? (4) Democratisation: How can participation be strengthened in order to foster acceptance (and prevent “yellow vest” protests, etc.)? (5) Diversification of service: Which services can make significant contributions in the context of flexible power generation, demand-side management, storage and grids? Our paper comes to the conclusion that German policy efforts in the “5D” fields have been implemented very differently. Particularly with regard to democratisation, the opportunities for genuine participation among the different social actors must be further strengthened to get the Energiewende back on track. New market models are needed to meet the challenges of the energy transition and to increase the performance of “5D” through economic incentives.
