Facing transition phase two: Analysing actor strategies in a stagnating acceleration phase

Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2022, vol. 174, issue C

Abstract: Energy transition processes are currently entering into a new phase which is characterised by the maturing of renewable energy technologies and the challenges of system integration and regulatory changes, in particular the introduction of tender schemes for onshore wind energy. In the German wind energy sector, these policy changes are resulting in a drop in build-out during a phase when acceleration rather than stagnation would be expected. Furthermore, several major wind actors are facing insolvency, instigating redundancies or deciding to relocate, increasing the level of uncertainty within the sector.
