Bei der Energiewende denken die meisten an Kanzlerin Angela Merkel. Im “Energiekonzept” ihrer Regierung aus dem Jahr 2010 kommt das Wort allerdings nicht ein einziges Mal vor https://perma.cc/W9FW-JH33

Weg von der Atomenergie, hin zur Ökoenergie. Das ist der neue Grundsatz der deutschen Energiepolitik nach der Reaktorkatastrophe in Fukushima. Mit geradezu atemberaubendem Tempo hat die schwarz-gelbe Koalition unter dem Eindruck von Fukushima eine energiepolitische Kehrtwende vollzogen. Möglichst schnell soll die Energiewende vollzogen werden. Das Bundeskabinett hat am 6. Juni 2011 das sofortige Aus für acht Atomkraftwerke und den stufenweisen Ausstieg aus der Kernenergie bis 2022 beschlossen https://perma.cc/9RH3-458C

Der durchschnittliche Strompreis für Haushalte liegt im bisherigen Jahresmittel 2023 um 14 Prozent höher als im 2. Halbjahr 2022 und beträgt nun durchschnittlich 45,73 ct/kWh (2. Hj. 2022: 40,07 ct/kWh; Grundpreis anteilig für einen Verbrauch von 3.500 kWh/a enthalten). Die Strompreise für Haushalte sind seit Beginn des 2. Quartals 2023 wieder gesunken. Für das 4. Quartal 2023 beträgt der Durchschnittspreis 44,17 ct/kWh https://perma.cc/2FFN-VTWP


For medium size household consumers, electricity prices during the second semester of 2010 were the highest in the EU in Denmark, in Germany and in Cyprus (see Figure 1 and Table 2 & 3).

The lowest electricity prices in the EU for households are found in Bulgaria, Estonia and Latvia.

From this comparison, it follows that, relative to the cost of other goods and services, electricity for household consumers is the most expensive in Hungary, Slovakia and Germany. Electricity is relatively cheap in France and in Finland.

The largest price increases among EU Member States between 2009 semester 2 and 2010 semester 2 were observed in the Bulgaria (47 %) and in Germany (33 %).

Asia contributed over 60% of the world’s new renewable energy capacity in 2021, which brings the total 2020 renewable energy capacity to 1.46 Terawatts (TW). With an addition of 121 GW to the regional energy capacity, China was the major contributor.

In Figures 3 and 4, it can be observed that regions such as Asia (+99.80%), or countries such as China (+116.16), doubled in the last decade their power generation from renewable sources, and some countries such as the UK (+225.03) almost tripled it by 2020.

Share of energy from renewable sources (for the year 2020) are Iceland (83%), Sweden (60%), Finland (44%),
Latvia (42%), Austria (36.54%) and Portugal (33.98%), ... Malta (11%), Luxembourg (12%), Belgium (13%) and
Hungary (13.85%).

Over the course of the past decade, a number of developing countries, but not exclu- sively, have started making significant investments in the renewable energy sector. The most prominent examples are China, Sweden, Costa Rica, Iceland, India and Brazil [228–230]. These countries are all attempting to combat the excessive pollution that has arisen in recent years as a result of rapid economic growth. In 2020, renewable energy in European Union made up 22.1% of the energy used, exceeding the 2020 goal of 20% by about 2 percentage points.

In addition, at the international level, there are other states that produce an important quantity of energy from renewable resources, such as Costa Rica (which produces 98% from renewable resources using a mix of hydro, geothermal, wind, biomass, and solar power), Uruguay (it produces enough clean energy that it can export it to its neighbors in South America, Argentina and Brazil. In 2021, renewable energy sources provided 98% of their total electricity), China (leaders in wind and solar energy production), New Zealand (by 2035, it plans to use 100% renewable energy) and Morocco (it is already a global leader in solar power, due to the strength of its natural sunshine)
