Investigation published on behalf of wind industry associations.
June 4, 2019

A new study by WP & More Consulting and the law firm GGSC shows that the expansion of renewable energies in Germany does not have to be slowed down due to delayed network expansion.

Key messages of the study
  • Innovative network optimization measures for better utilization of the existing networks are technically operational and can be implemented promptly
  • There is also enormous potential through the use of online assistance systems for operational management
  • There are few legal barriers to using the techniques

The measures described in the study have already been technically tested and can be implemented in the near future. Their use enables enormous cost savings in redispatch and feed-in management in the short term.
