Dena lead study on the energy transition: How the "energy transition from below" is to be imposed from above
"We want to think more bottom-up, less top-down": this is what Andreas Kuhlmann writes in the introduction to the "Leitstudie Integrierte Energiewende" (Integrated Energy Transition flagship study), which is to be produced by "his" Dena, the German Energy Agency, by the end of 2018. - Well, that's why it's only an "interim summary", which was published on 20 pages recently. But the project's ambition is not entirely unambitious: "It's about more than just a simple coupling of sectors," writes the Dena boss, but about coordinating their "growing number of components and integrating them into an intelligent and sustainable energy system".
