Last week, Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection passed the Easter Package through the Bundestag and Bundesrat. We’ll give you an overview of what the package involves and explain its implications for energy suppliers and consumers.

The German Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, BSI) withdrew the pronouncement for the rollout of smart metering systems a good month ago. This has once again slowed down the smart meter rollout following on from the reoccurring issues it had encountered recently. This blog post will explain why the pronouncement has been withdrawn and what impact this has had on the smart meter rollout.

On 30 March 2022, Robert Habeck, German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, declared the early warning level of the Emergency Plan for Gas. This was followed on 23 June 2022 by the alert level, which is the second of three levels in the Emergency Plan for Gas. What does the alert level mean and what steps will be taken now? In our blog post, we will give you a brief overview as to why Habeck made this decision and what the impact will be.

A climate-friendly energy carrier like hydrogen is becoming increasingly relevant in times of disputed gas supplies, rising energy prices and advancing climate catastrophes. The import of green hydrogen from abroad as well as projects for domestic production, distribution and use within Germany are already being planned. In our blog post, we’ll explain to you how gas is turned into a tradable product and which requirements have to be met in order to establish a functioning market.

The legal framework has been established to meet the three overarching objectives of energy policy, those being economic efficiency, environmental compatibility and security of supply. This includes the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), which has created incentives for the expansion of renewable energy sources. Since this subsidy is no longer available or will soon be phased out for certain installations, we would like to present options on how to sell the energy they generate in the future in this blog post.

Hydrogen vehicles are characterised by short refuelling times, long driving ranges and powerful acceleration. They enable emission-free mobility that’s in line with sustainable energy transition. You’ll learn what this is all about in our blog post.

Again and again, it’s claimed that Germany is under threat of experiencing a blackout due to renewable energies. But is this true? What causes a blackout, and how likely is it? We’ll answer this question in our blog post.

Robert Habeck, German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, declared the early warning level of the Emergency Plan for Gas on 30 March 2022. In this blog post, we’d like to inform you of what this means for the security of supply in our country, what effects it can have on industry as well as private households, what the plan actually is and what processes it entails.

Sustainability, price pressure and new technologies – these are the three concerns that are permeating the energy sector. Using new technologies is essential to addressing these three challenges equally. Cloud computing is an interesting technology in this regard. In our blog post, we will show you the potential that cloud computing can unlock for the energy sector.
