Energy transition from the bottom up
Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung
The Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung has published a long article on electricity and heating prosumers (producers and consumers), written by Anna Steiner. There are currently about 1.6 million prosumers in Germany, among them households with solar panels on their rooftop, solar-thermal systems to heat water, wind turbines in the garden, or small cogeneration plants (CHP) in the basement. The article assesses affordability, cost effectiveness, and saving potential.
