Energy Transition (Energiewende)

Energy transition, or Energiewende, is Germany's strategy to shift from relying mainly on fossil fuels and nuclear power to cleaner, renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydro. The goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, combat climate change, and ensure a sustainable energy future. This involves improving energy efficiency, investing in renewable technology, and phasing out nuclear and coal plants. The process aims to create a more environmentally friendly, resilient, and economically sustainable energy system while ensuring reliable power supply for households and businesses.
