Power Grid 2050 - How we achieve the energy and climate policy goals
Both Germany and the European Union are striving for a climate-neutral energy and economic system by the middle of the century. Expansion of the transmission grid in line with demand is therefore a key element in the success of the energy turnaround. But what do the goals mean for the electricity grid? Are the measures planned so far sufficient to achieve a climate-neutral energy system by 2050, and if not, what is the problem? We are talking about this today with Christian Schorn, head of plant operations at TransnetBW GmbH.
