The project analyses the central needs in order to ensure a steady and robust expansion of renewable energies (RE) that is necessary to protect the climate. It focuses on photovoltaics (PV) and onshore wind energy, which play a central role in the future expansion of RE. In addition, selected questions for electricity generation from bioenergy will be examined in the context of overarching questions on the use of bioenergy.

Taking into account ongoing legislative and strategic processes, the project aims to identify current obstacles to the expansion of renewable energies and to develop proposals to erase them. These include ideas on the feed-in tariff or strengthening the prosumer segment (self-supply, energy communities, collective self-consumption) or an investigation into further acceleration potential in the designation of land for onshore wind energy.

Furthermore, the project also aims to recognize in advance where relevant obstacles may arise and how these can be addressed. One example is the development of business models for renewable energies without state subsidies.
