Abstract: Renewable-energy potential exists in the Federal Republic of Germany to a great extent, but it is barely used as yet. A change in the power-supply structure seems to be too risky with regard to finance and the sensitive labour market. Nevertheless, an extension of renewable energy systems in the German state North-Rhine Westphalia would lead to improved employment prospects.
