Energy transitions in Greece and Germany
How will Germany accelerate the energy transition?
Based on this impressive trajectory, Germany set itself ambitious targets to further accelerate the energy transition. According to the plans of the federal government, significant progress in the transition to less carbon-intensive and yet still secure and affordable energy supply should be achieved by 2020.
How will the World Bank help Greece transition from coal?
The World Bank is engaged in several coal-dependent regions to help governments transition away from coal.

The plan will spur economic development, helping absorb jobs lost in the coal sector while setting the stage for new clean energy industries.
What is Greece's transition to a greener economy?

Security of Supply Under Pressure
Germany has enjoyed a highly secure electricity supply for decades, but the tide is beginning to turn.

At its peak, the gap between supply and demand reached six gigawatts—equivalent to the
Electricity Costs Remain High
Economic development and growth have long constituted a problematic area for energy transition—especially when it comes to electricity-price development. For years, German consumers have paid more for their electricity than their European neighbors do. Today the electricity price for households is still about 45 percent above the European average.
Federal Government Announces Climate-Action Concept
In Germany, frustration is now growing among the general population over the lack of progress in addressing climate change.
