“…Negative distributional effects are also an issue of concern. The 10% of households with the lowest income pay about 1% of their available income to finance the REA, whereas the same share among the households with the highest income is only 0,17% (Techert, Niehues and Bardt, 2012). Yet, based on purchasing power and in the long term the cost burden on households and firms has changed little.…”

“…Bei den privaten Haushalten, insbesondere den einkommensschwachen Haushalten sind die Ausgaben für Energie in den letzten Jahren stetig gestiegenund zwar stärker als bei reicheren Haushalten (siehe Heindl 2014). So begünstigt zum Beispiel das EEG obere Einkommensschichten und wirkt regressiv (Techert et al 2012). Im Hinblick auf Bürgerbeteiligung an erneuerbaren Energien-Anlagen stehen vor allem Fragen wie die Bedeutung privater Investitionen im Verhältnis zu öffentlichen Investitionen sowie Instrumente und deren Anreizwirkung für private Investitionen im Mittelpunkt (Yildiz 2014).…”

Der Beitrag zeigt anhand einer entwicklungsgeschichtlichen Darstellung der Energiepolitik die wechselvolle Geschichte volkswirtschaftlicher und politikwissenschaftlicher Analysen auf. Die Dynamik energiepolitischer Herausforderungen prägt bis heute das energiepolitische Forschungsinteresse beider Disziplinen. Durch das Ziel der nachhaltigen Energieversorgung gewinnt die Komplementarität wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher und politikwissenschaftlicher Analysen wieder an Sichtbarkeit, da Allokations-und Verteilungswirkungen energiepolitischer Maßnahmen und Instrumente auch immer Fragen des gesellschaftlichen Zusammenlebens berühren.

“…The EEG-levy exceptions for industry c have been repeatedly expanded in the past. They should -independent of the requirements of European law -rapidly be limited to a realistically tenable amount that is aligned on the proven dangers to international or intermodal competitiveness [21,22,24]. A company's energy consumption, the measure currently used by the EEG, is an unsuitable indicator for this purpose.…”

The future of the energy transition in Germany

Although the goals of the country's energy transition (Energiewende) are widely accepted in Germany, the specific route to get there is itself a matter of great controversy. The individual measures that are part of the energy transition policy and the questions of how they interact and how they are embedded in the European context are objects of controversial scientific and public debate. Most recently, the consequences for the price of electricity have, in particular, been discussed intensely. Against this backdrop of wide-ranging criticism, the future course for promoting renewable energy will soon be set. The German Renewable Energy Sources Act (the Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz, EEG), which is the main instrument of energy transition policy with its feed-in tariffs, is supposed to be fundamentally revised in the course of this year. A precondition for achieving a coherent further development of the energy transition policy and for receiving the sound support of a critical public is that the long-term consequences of political decisions on a complex sociotechnical energy system be taken into account. The requirements of such a system are not satisfied by policy approaches or recommendations that target short-term effects or that are perceptions of problems extrapolated from individual sectors. On the basis of its integrated research on the energy transition, researchers from the Helmholtz Alliance Energy-Trans take a stand on current important controversial issues from the energy transformation and specify fundamental challenges to shaping a sustainable energy transition policy.Keywords: Energy transition; Sustainability; Germany; European Union; State aid; Renewable energy sources; Feed-in tariff; Federalism; Energy policy; Market designThe energy transition: a long-term project and a challenge to the system The energy transition in Germany is nothing less than the restructuring of the entire energy supply in the sectors' electricity, heat, and transportation in a highly industrialized country. This comprehensive reorganization is a task for generations, and yet the fundamental framework has to be created today. Although there continues to be a high level of approval in the general public [1][2][3][4] and among all political forces [5], essential components of the German energy transition policy are themselves currently being subject to criticism, some of it very intense. The focus of this criticism is most frequently on the renewable energy supports provided for the generation of electricity, which take the form of feed-in tariffs permitted by the Renewable Energy Sources Act (Erneuerbare-Energien- Gesetz (EEG)).a Challenges to the energy transition go, however, far beyond this. What is required is a long-term process of transforming a complex sociotechnical system [6,7] in which the goal is to set the course of change so that tomorrow's energy supply works, its consumption of resources, and its impact on the environment are limited to a sustainable level, and, in the process, efficiency and social ac...
