With renewable energy set to account for the majority of Germany ’ s power supply before too long , photovoltaics and wind energy will be vital pillars of the energy supply . What ’ s more , the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine has proven that our renew able energy supply needs to be expand ed as quickly as possible .
In the statement entitled “ Wie kann der Ausbau von Photovoltaik und Windenergie beschleunigt werden ? ( How can we speed up the process of adding to the photovoltaic and wind power capacity ?)”, the academic project ESYS proposes twelve potential ways of overcoming the obstacles in order to pick up the pace . ■ AB
