“Tailwind for renewables continues”
Renewable Energies Agency
93 percent of Germans say further expansion of renewables is important or very important, according to a study by TNS Emnid, commissioned by the Renewable Energies Agency (AEE). The approval rate for renewables facilities in their own neighbourhood fell by six percentage points to 62 percent, compared to last year. Participants that already have similar facilities in their neighbourhood more easily accept new ones. 73 percent of citizens rather support the idea of local solar PV panels for power generation. This figure rises to 90 percent for those who already have experience with solar panels in their neighbourhood. TNS Emnid asked 1000 participants in September 2016.
