Shortly after the turn of the year, Agora Energiewende gives an overview of the developments in the German power sector in 2018. The focus of the report is on the changes in the power production, the capacities and the cost of conventional and renewable power plants, the progress in climate protection and the movements within the international power trade and on the power and commodity markets in the course of the year. Besides several events that characterized the power sector in 2018 as well as some insights into citizens’ attitudes towards the progress and the implementation of the energy transition in general, the report concludes with an outlook for the year 2019.
