What’s it about?

The German Federal Government is often asked about its Ener-giewende abroad. At the same time, many people are surprised by the scale of the project. These multi-dimensional aspects and challenges are presented in our exhibition. It also shows that the Energiewende is not a short-term project. It will be implemented step by step until 2050. The exhibi-tion overs various aspects of the Energiewende and presents its development since the 1970s. The various stations of the exhibition cover: Energy efficiency, heating, mobility, renewable energies, costs for consumer, climate protection, nuclear power, economical as-pects, international aspects, elec-tricity grid, security of supply, energy storage, civil participation and the future of energy supply. Additionally, there is an entrance gate, a multi-media quiz table and a feedback station.

The exhibition was inaugurated in April 2016 in Beijing and has since been shown at about 60 locations in 25 different countries (as of January 2018). There are two Eng-lish, one Arabic, one Spanish, one Chinese and one German version of the exhibition.
