Decentralizing energy generation: policy recommendations for Germany

The next 10-15 years will determine if Germany, one of the world's leading economies and Europe's biggest energy consumer will be able to re-define its energy industry and use the benefits of innovation in order to combine long-term sustainability with current welfare. And chances are that decentralization plays an important role. The first part will provide a fact-based evaluation of decentral energy generation from a macroeconomic point of view. Both cogeneration and decoupled technologies will be compared against the most modern incumbent technologies on their economic and ecologic performance. Thereby, five common structural defects of previous studies will be avoided. The result will look rather different from the recommendations currently articulated loudest. The second part will analyze the strategic interests of energy players concerning the previously derived technology recommendation applying a game theoretic framework. It will point out possibilities for the
