Digitalisation of the Energiewende in danger of failing

Deutschlandfunk

Key IT projects necessary for the digitalisation of the German energy transition are making no headway, endangering the “ambitious large-scale project”, journalist Peter Welchering told German radio broadcaster Deutschlandfunk. These projects included connecting charging points for electric vehicles, managing the distribution of renewable energies, and optimising electricity consumption. “Without the digitalisation of the Energiewende, we’ll neither have e-mobility, nor a stable power supply in the future, nor will we be able to reach climate targets,” said Welchering.
