Abstract: Abstract The impacts of Germany’s energy cooperatives today can only be observed against the background of a detailed understanding of the country’s energy system, current dynamics, desired energy system goals and aligned challenges. Hence, this section provides an overview of Germany’s ongoing energy transition. Section 3.1 outlines the historical context, 3.2 describes Germany’s energy system goals, and 3.3 discusses the difference between decentralised and centralised system approaches. Meanwhile, Sect. 3.4 identifies system challenges.
