With the Energiewenderechner (Energy Transition Calculator), the BEE (German Renewable Energy Federation) has now launched a digital tool that creates transparency and predictability for the expansion of renewable energy. Its practical approach actively involves municipalities, companies, and citizens in the implementation of the energy transition.
Ursula Heinen-Esser, President of the BEE: “The Energiewenderechner provides a reliable data basis for planning and makes the current status and the expansion prospects of the energy transition visible as a real-time simulation across all regions of Germany, down to the district level. It therefore provides precisely the transparency that is often lacking at almost every level today.”
The Energiewenderechner offers a freely navigable map of all German municipalities and districts. It combines current data on energy generation and demand with scientifically sound forecasts of future developments.
Dr. Matthias Stark, Head of Renewable Energy Systems at the BEE: “For the first time, a consolidated, high-quality data basis is now accessible to the various stakeholders involved in the energy transition – from municipalities and project developers to grid operators and political decision-makers. This enables us to create predictability down to the lowest administrative levels. The Energiewenderechner is the first platform to combine a data basis, a simulation layer, and a communication layer for the entire energy transition in one place.”
The tool was developed by the BEE’s specialist department with scientific support from the Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Economics and Energy System Technology (IEE).
Manuel Lasse, Founder of greenwind: “Together with more than 300 stakeholders from the energy industry, we have supported the development of the Energiewenderechner. I am convinced that this will make an important contribution to project planning and to the next phase of the energy transition.”
