Future paper for Brandenburg: Reducing bureaucracy for green energy transition!

Over 300 participants from business, science and politics discussed pressing challenges of the energy transition on July 3 at the industry day of renewable energies in Brandenburg and Berlin. The big topics- the addition of wind and solar systems and the reduction in bureaucracy in the event of approval procedures- are very popular. This information gets to the point Stadtblatt-online .

The evening was characterized by a clear call: bureaucratic hurdles have to drop so that the energy transition does not stall. Jan Hinrich Glahr handed over the claims as a "future paper for Brandenburg" to Minister Daniel Keller, who emphasized that quick action in the network expansion and the simplification of bureaucratic processes are on the agenda. Again and again the need for a constructive dialogue between network operators, producers and consumers was emphasized. Smarter solutions are required for network connections to increase the urgently needed capacities.

The challenges of the energy transition

One of the greatest challenges is the lengthy planning and approval of projects. These processes are considered to be an inhibition of the expansion of renewable energies. Small and medium -sized companies in the area of ​​renewable energies in particular need support to release resources and work efficiently. According to the bdew , bureaucracy is considered to be very important to advance the energy transition and to secure the energy supply in Germany.

Minister Keller confirmed that Brandenburg wants to add up to the network expansion. The idea of ​​digitization plays a central role here. A sophisticated digital infrastructure could not only shorten planning processes, but also promote the inclusion of citizens. These should be integrated into planning at an early stage - a wish that many participants expressed on the industry day.

political course

In the political context, the coalition agreement between the Union and the SPD is an important basis. This is committed to German and European climate goals, with the aim of achieving climate neutrality by 2045. Already under the old government, measures to promote renewable energies were initiated, which are now to be continued and adapted. The KPMG emphasizes that the expansion of all potential of renewable energies is on the agenda.

goal is to reduce energy costs for citizens and companies. In addition, incentives for existing systems should also be created so that they can feed in the network and system. At the same time, investments of around 721 billion euros are to be mobilized for the energy transition by 2030 - a mammoth task that can only be mastered when everyone involved should be closed.

The urgent need for reducing bureaucracy is also discussed in a BDEW brochure, which delivers numerous facts and figures on the bureaucratic hurdles in the energy sector. It becomes clear that the relief of bureaucratic guidelines must be for the future of the energy industry.

Overall, it should be noted: The energy transition is a Herculean task that requires courage and cooperation. Citizens, companies and politics are equally challenged to make the future sustainable and not only to ensure the security of supply in Germany, but also to develop it actively.
