The latest EUPD Research analysis shows that the German electricity consumption in 2021 returned to a pre-crisis level such as in 2019. Because of the trajectory of the renewable energy expansion being too low, an electricity shortfall is expected in Germany from 2022 onwards.

A recent EUPD Research study focuses on the use of hydrogen in everyday life from a private household’s perspective. The majority of interviewees see the use of hydrogen in daily life rather long-term and especially relevant for the area of mobility.

Home office and reduced social contacts outside one’s home have resulted in an increase of electricity consumption for about 50% out of 500 households, surveyed by EUPD Research. At the same time, 69% of interviewees clearly see energy saving potential in their own homes.
