“The Energiewende at a glance”

WWF / LichtBlick

Environmental NGO WWF and green energy provider LichtBlick launched their “Energiewende-Dashboard” – a website that shows up-to-date information on the progress of the German energy transition. In the "style of a digital car or airplane dashboard", the website depicts data such as greenhouse gas emissions, the current German power mix and the number of installed wind turbines. Sources include the Federal Environment Agency (UBA), the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA), Agora Energiewende*, the European Environment Agency (EEA) among others.

Find the dashboard in German here, the project description in English here and a press release in German here.

*Like the Clean Energy Wire, Agora Energiewende is a project funded by Stiftung Mercator and the European Climate Foundation.
