The energy sector finds itself in crisis mode. Although a shortage was averted last winter, the threat has not been averted. The Federal Council assumes that the supply situation could become even more critical in the winter of 2023/24. Preparations are therefore being made at all levels for extreme scenarios. At the same time, the decarbonization of our energy system must be driven forward at full speed with a view to the net-zero target for 2050. At the present time, it is difficult to assess the extent to which decisions to increase security of supply in the short term will promote greening in the medium to long term - or may even run counter to it. With the participation of experts from academia and industry, the lecture series aims to help the audience find an answer to the question «Impending energy shortage - curse or blessing for the transformation of our energy system?».
