  The Energiewende and its Ramifications
  for the German Support Regime for
  Renewable Energies
  I. Policy Background
  Since the first RELP country report on Germany,1
  the German legal framework for the promotion of
  renewable energies has undergone substantial
  changes as a consequence of the fundamental political
  shift of strategy taking place between 2010 and
  the summer of 2011, a process which is far from

Efficiency and Public Acceptance of European Grid Expansion Projects: Lessons Learned across Europe
- Abstract: I. Introduction
  The European Union has set the stage for a significant
  increase in the use of electricity from renewable
  sources driven by the adoption of its 20-20-20
  targets1 and the objective of creating a largely
  decarbonised power sector by 2050. Expanding and
  upgrading the continent’s ageing grid infrastructure
  is vital to achieving these ambitious energy
  and climate targets. The European Commission

The German Offshore Transmission Grid – (Finally) A Success Story?
- Abstract: I. Introduction
  In 2012, in order “to speed up the progress on connecting
  the offshore wind farms to the grid”, the
  German Federal Government set out to implement
  a new statutory framework for offshore transmission
  grid connections.1 The ambitious goal was to
  “create legal certainty, remove investment barriers
  and render investments in offshore wind farms and
  grid connections economically attractive.” 2

The Energiewende in Germany: Background, Developments and Future Challenges

  I. Introduction
  This paper explores German “exceptionalism”1 in
  nuclear policy, explaining the background to the
  Energiewende, describing the developments which
  are taking place and the politics defining them. The
  decision to phase out nuclear power attracted much
  attention and the actual policies and legislation
  which have been implemented in the renewable
  energy sector have influenced other countries.

  This issue of the Renewable Energy Law and Policy Review investigates the legal, regulatory,
  and policy requirements for realizing ambitious renewable energy objectives in
  Germany, and Europe more broadly, through the expansion and transformation of the
  electrical grid. The elements covered by this issue’s articles should be of interest to policy

The German Nuclear Phase-Out After Fukushima: A Peculiar Path or an Example for Others'
- Abstract: The German Nuclear Phase-Out After Fukushima
  I. Introduction
  The Fukushima catastrophe hit when State leaders
  and business managers were talking about a
  nuclear renaissance. As part of the fight against climate
  change, nuclear power was again being considered
  as a clean energy source suitable to keep
  CO2-emissions low. Even in countries that had
  opposed it for decades, it became more socially
  acceptable to at least discuss the nuclear option. For

The Unequal Burden-Sharing of the German Energy Transformation

  I. Background
  Starting with the German government’s energy
  concept from the fall of 2010 and by the announcement
  of the accelerated nuclear phase-out in the
  early summer of 2011, a political consensus has
  formed in Germany that the country’s energy supply
  – primarily electricity generation – shall be converted
  to low-carbon and especially renewable energies

Diverging Nuclear Energy Paths: Swedish and Finnish Reactions to the German Energiewende
- Abstract: I. Introduction
  To many foreign observers, the definition of the ongoing
  energy transition (Energiewende) in Germany
  is reduced to the nuclear phase-out decision taken
  in the aftermath of the Fukushima accident in the
  spring of 2011. This definition is of course a dramatic
  oversimplification of the tasks Germany has
  taken on with the goal of completely transforming
  its energy policy in the coming decades, as well as
  an omission of the long prehistory

  I. The German Energiewende –
  Terminology and history
  The German word Energiewende is difficult to translate.
  The term “Wende” can mean turn, turnabout,
  turning point, transition, etc. The most common
  terms used in an English translation are “energy
  transition” (indicating the transition from fossil
  fuels to renewables) and “energy turnover”, “energy

  The year 2013 started full of promises, with the continuing evolution of Germany’s

  United States will do more to promote renewable energy.
  The extent to which the U.S. Congress will work with President Obama to encourage
  the growth of renewable energy through legislation remains unclear. Despite good intentions,

Subsidies or Free Markets to Promote Renewables'
- Abstract: I. Introduction
  Pressure on governments in Europe and North
  America to reduce budget deficits has triggered
  a comprehensive review of spending measures.
  This review process has cast light on the wide variety
  of subsidies, implicit and explicit, that support
  the energy sector. Some are calling to end all forms
  of energy subsidies for energy and allow markets to
  decide the proper energy mix on an “even playing
  field”.

  I. Introduction
  There is little doubt that the world must change the
  way it produces and consumes energy. Traditional
  pollution, climate change, depleted resources, and
  national security are all compelling reasons to pursue
  a shift in our energy infrastructure. American
