At the Stadtwerke Impact Day, experts from the energy sector discussed the latest challenges and solutions for an emissions-free future. adesso presented the innovative research project VideKIS and sat down with experts to talk about new distribution models and regional value creation. At the event, it became clear that time is running out. We need to take action now and work together to move the energy transition forward

In 2023, the energy sector is once again facing significant changes. The German energy transition is pursuing the ambitious goal of increasing its share of electricity from renewable energies to at least 80 per cent by 2030. The German Renewable Energy Sources Act 2023 (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz, EEG 2023) plays a decisive role in the implementation of this plan. And the advancing digitalisation in this area is also leading to changes in market communications. In this blog post, both aspects will be examined in greater detail.

The German federal government is investing heavily in the development of its own import infrastructure for liquefied natural gas (LNG). The focus of this infrastructure is on floating terminals, the first of which was inaugurated in December 2022. In our blog post, we will give you a brief overview of the current plans to build LNG terminals.

Whereas we are motivated to save energy at home due to rising energy prices and an impending hole in our wallets, things often look different in the office: personal account balances do not suffer and so people sometimes leave a light or the heating on. One possible incentive in this regard is gamification – that is, the introduction of playful elements. In our blog post, you will learn exactly what this looks like and what potential savings gamification entails.

Business intelligence (BI) maturity models are used to find out how far along a company is in terms of digitalisation and data use. In our blog post, we will explain how maturity models help with classification, whether the Interaction Room is an alternative way to apply them and, if it is, whether it can be used as a basis to successfully improve BI in the holistic consultancy process.

The energy crisis has seen electric heaters and fan heaters become a much-discussed alternative to gas for quite a few months now – not to mention the criticism of them and concerns about a blackout. But how justified is this concern and what impact did the appliances have on our electricity grid when we moved into winter? We will answer these questions in our blog post.

Easily produce your own solar power from your balcony? And do it without much effort? Thanks to what are known as balcony power plants, anyone can now produce solar power for personal consumption. In our blog post, you will find out how it works, what advantages and disadvantages balcony power plants have and what we as tenants have to keep in mind.

The German energy transition is pursuing the goal that the share of electricity consumed from renewable energies should be at least 80 per cent by 2030. But can renewable energies also reliably generate electricity in the cold, dark depths of winter when outside is a never-ending barrage of rain, ice and snow? To what extent do these factors impact the power plants and what solutions are out there? In this blog post, we will take a look at the most important influences and impacts on renewable energies.

The expansion of photovoltaic plants needs to be accelerated to make the energy transition a success. But with an increasing lack of suitable land, the question arises whether to use it for agriculture or to generate electricity. Agrophotovoltaics allows areas of land to be used for two purposes simultaneously: photovoltaic modules on stilts generate electricity and at the same time, the land beneath them can be used for agriculture. But how does it work and what are the advantages and disadvantages?
