Interview

We are replacing estimates with real knowledge

An interview with the two network experts Hans-Werner Leenen and Martin Breitenbach from NGN NETZGESELLSCHAFT NIEDERRHEIN MBH

All of Germany is talking about the energy transition. What do you consider your biggest challenges?

Hans-Werner Leenen: We have to make the right decisions: What comes now? One scenario would be complete electrification of the grids. Perhaps soon we’ll no longer want to use fossil fuels for heating and automobiles, but only electricity and water. The electrical grid would then have to handle the entire power supply. That’s not possible with the grid as it is today.
