“Conceptualising Germany’s Energy Transition”
Leibniz Institute for Research on Society and Space (IRS)
Important shifts in power relations within the energy sector occur in the course of Germany’s energy transition, according to a new research publication by Leibniz Institute for Research on Society and Space (IRS). “The reality is that power over certain resources – like land, capital ready for use, or the policy planning decision-making powers – is much disputed in the process,” said Ludger Gailing, project leader at IRS. This created power asymmetries, for example by way of the large financial power of national and international investors versus local actors, according to a press release.
