Vattenfall: Vattenfall Manager: We need a new word for energy transition
Despite political headwinds, the energy transition is progressing from the perspective of the Vattenfall Germany CEO. He calls for a depoliticization of the debate.
Vattenfall Germany head Robert Zurawski says the term "Energiewende" can evoke skepticism rather than enthusiasm. He believes the concept of transitioning to renewable energy is often overly politicized and that a different term might be needed. Despite this, Zurawski is optimistic about Germany's progress in expanding renewable energy, citing economic benefits and observable progress.
He supports the German government's recent cabinet decisions on energy policy, but urges faster action on expanding the grid and engaging with local communities on infrastructure projects. The government aims to make the expansion of renewable energy more cost-efficient and secure with the EEG-Novelle and Netzpaket.
