History: From coal to climate In the EU, an Energy Union is emerging from an array of packages, policies, projects and proposals. They map the shift from conventional energy markets to flexible ones that promote renewables. By Dr. Radostina Primova
Cities: Testbeds for energy innovation Cities can be a hotbed of innovation. They are big enough to try out new ideas on a large scale, but small enough to brush them aside if they do not work out. By Alix Bolle
Energy Atlas: Figures and Facts about Renewables in Europe Dossier The European Energy Atlas 2018 is published at a time when the EU Member States are discussing their energy and climate strategy until 2030. It thereby not only provides a compass on the differing energy discussions in Europe but also reveals how a Europeanization of the energy transition will be the more efficient and cost-effective option for all Europeans.
Vision: Looking to be leader Energy Atlas Europe is making progress towards its energy transition at a rate few imagined ten years ago. There is still a long way to go, but the continent is now in a position to become the global leader in green energy. By Claude Turmes
Economy: Making progress, more work needed Energy Atlas Renewables have moved from being a sideshow to the main act in Europe’s energy theatre. Government support has been key to this – but renewables are increasingly able to stand on their own. By Rebecca Bertram
Linking Sectors: Power, transport, heat united Energy Atlas Heating, cooling and transport consume huge amounts of fossil fuels. Converting them to renewable energy poses challenges, but also offers solutions to the problem of variable power generation. By Dr. Joanna Maćkowiak-Pandera
Citizens: Many drops make a river Energy Atlas Conventional energy comes from a few large, powerful firms. But for renewable energy sources, it makes sense for the generation capacity to be owned by individuals and communities. By Molly Walsh
