Key topics included:
- The challenges posed by Germany’s ambitious target of generating 80% of the country’s electricity from renewables by 2030
- Reducing the country’s dependence on Russian gas
- The necessity of utilising clean technologies including offshore and onshore wind power and solar power to achieve future targets

What is the Future of Renewables in Germany’s Low Carbon Economy?
The rate of growth in renewables is radically transforming Germany’s power sector, opening the door for many opportunities and potential challenges over the coming decades.
Our virtual and interactive event, the Aurora German Renewables Week, took place between 2–4 February, 2021 where we addressed three themes:
- Day 1: The New Green Deal and EEG – Policy Pathways to Net Zero
- Day 2: Options for Industrial Decarbonisation
- Day 3: Merchant Renewables – Reality or a Pipe Dream?
Delegates enjoyed engaging panel discussions, keynote addresses, Aurora analysis and interviews with the esteemed decision makers driving Germany’s energy transition. All this, alongside dedicated networking sessions in an insightful 3-day virtual event.
