Transformation pathways of phasing out coal-fired power plants in Germany

Abstract: Background: While there are plenty of studies investigating the market penetration of new technologies, phaseout processes of a predominant technology are rarely analyzed. The present study explores the case of a declining technology, employing the example of coal-fired power plants in Germany. These plants were promoted by governmental decision-makers as well as by the industry for a long time, but meanwhile, the phase-out or at least a cutback of coal-fired power plants is--not only in Germany--considered to… Show more

“…While both are closely related, they differ in their primary objectives: the former strives to steer change with a focus on creative capacity, while the latter aims to build resilience, focusing on adaptive capacity [20,21]. From a transition management perspective, Berlo et al [22], Vögele et al [23], and Leipprand and Flachsland [24] have analyzed the energy transition in Germany using the multi-level perspective (MLP) by Geels [25]. Foxon,Reed,and Stringer [20] propose to use both approaches, transition management and adaptive management, in a complementary way, combining the objectives of both.…”

“…But Germany is also engaged to close all coal thermal power plants by 2038, following the Paris 2015 climate summit. An overview on how long takes to close a coal thermal power plant is given in Reference [47], with Vögele et al [48] examining the phasing out of coal-fired plants in Germany.…”

“…This branch of discontinuation research assumes that sociotechnical systems influence socio-ecological systems, so that some technologies threaten resilience while others enhance it (Smith & Stirling 2010). Such research informs that political objectives like drastic reduction of CO2 emissions will hardly be achieved by using single cleaner technologies alone, but structural SES transformations are needed to qualitatively alter established systems (Vögele, Kunz, Rübbelke & Stahlke 2018;Rogge & Johnston, 2017;Stegmaier 2019). One of the challenges for the coming decade is to reverse the negative image of climate change: transformational adaptation comes with stakeholders taking a pro-active view on climate change, with new opportunities emerging from responses to climate change.…”
