Germany's utilities struggle to adapt to renewable revolution
2014-02-04 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: aced with a plunge in profits, Germany's power utilities are having to bend to the will of the government and join the renewable energy revolution, while smartening up on the retail front with new customer-friendly energy saving products. "The situation in the energy sector is miserable, in Germany and in the whole of Europe," Peter Terium, chief executive of RWE (GER:RWE), Germany's second-largest utility by market value, said at an industry conference last month.

Ecologist: We shouldn't underestimate the ability of a determined, resourceful and technologically sophisticated country to achieve almost unimaginable growth in renewable energy. We Brits haven't properly understood the scale of the German Energiewende, or energy transition. A recent seminar at Germany's Environment Agency (Umwelt Bundesamt or UBA) assessed whether the country could stop using fossil fuels entirely by 2050. Its conclusion: is technically feasible to produce all the country's energy...
