In the project ‘Long-term scenarios for the transformation of the energy system in Germany’ (Long-term scenarios 3), scenarios for the future development of a greenhouse gas-neutral energy system were modelled on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection. The orientation scenarios O45-Electricity and O45-H2 are a further development of the T45-Electricity and T45-Electricity* scenarios and the T45-H2 scenario from the previous scenario rounds. The O45-Electricity scenario analyses a path towards greenhouse gas neutrality that relies heavily on electricity use and the O45-H2 scenario a path towards greenhouse gas neutrality that relies heavily on hydrogen use. The report was produced in collaboration between Consentec GmbH, Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, ifeu – Institute for Energy and Environmental Research Heidelberg and the Technical University of Berlin.

Our managing director, Wolfgang Fritz, was interviewed by Daniel Hautmann for tha magazin “EnergieWinde” by Ørsted on the topic of Network Tariffs. The resulting article has now been published here.

Almost two weeks ago, the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) came out in favour of a “Kombinierter Kapazitätsmarkt (KKM)”. The BMWK has now published a paper containing a proposal for the design of a “Kombinierter Kapazitätsmarkt (KKM)”. The paper was prepared by the two consulting companies Consentec and r2b and the Öko-Institut on behalf of the BMWK. On 19 pages the authors describe how the market design could be implemented. The paper is available here.
