To achieve the climate change targets, significantly more buildings will have to be renovated. An EWI analysis shows that energy-related refurbishment and heating system replacement can be profitable for older and unrenovated single-family homes.

The ramp-up of e-mobility requires an integrated view of publicly accessible normal and fast charging points as well as a rapid expansion of private charging points. This is shown by a new study conducted as part of the Kopernikus ENSURE project.

More demand for electricity, fewer fossil-fuel power plants, but (still) too little renewable energy: The energy transition is changing the structure of the power supply in Germany. A new study by the EWI shows the possible consequences for security of supply.

A new tool of the Institute of Energy Economics (EWI) simulates the use of Demand Side Management and energy efficiency in German and Chinese industry. Savings in electricity costs and emission reductions can be calculated.

Load management and increased energy efficiency in industry can reduce electricity costs and CO₂ emissions in Germany and China. A new EWI study also shows options for policymakers.

Electricity from renewables, infrastructure, and individual consumer needs and preferences must be coordinated as the electrification of the heating and transportation sectors increases. An EWI team has investigated how this can be achieved despite increasing e-mobility.
