The Contribution of Energy Communities to the Upscaling of Photovoltaics in Germany and Italy
Wierling, August Hubert; Zeiss, Jan Pedro; Lupi, Veronica; Candelise, Chiara; Sciullo, Alessandro; Schwanitz, Valeria Jana (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Energy communities (EC) are among the new actors in the energy market, playing an important role in the uptake of photovoltaics (PV) in European markets. This paper estimates their aggregate contribution to the low-carbon ... -
Current state and call for action to accomplish findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of low carbon energy data
Schwanitz, Valeria Jana; Wierling, August Hubert; Biresselioglu, Mehmet Efe; Celino, Massimo; Demir, Muhittin Hakan; Bałazińska, Maria; Kruczek, Mariusz; Paier, Manfred; Suna, Demet (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)With the continued digitization of the energy sector, the problem of sunken scholarly data investments and forgone opportunities of harvesting existing data is exacerbating. It compounds the problem that the reproduction ... -
The Development of Citizen-Installed Renewable Energy Capacities in Former Eastern Bloc Countries—The Case of Poland
Schwanitz, Valeria Jana; Rudek, Tadeusz Józef; Hubert, Wit; Wierling, August Hubert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)We confront empirical data on citizen-led renewable energy capacities in Poland with results obtained from a meta-theoretical, empirical analysis of the national energy system. We elicit and rank essential disabling and ... -
