Urban-rural relations in renewable electric energy supply – the case of a German energy region

Caroline Möller, Martin Faulstich, S. Rosenberger · 2018 · SHILAP Revista de lepidopterología

Summary. This study examines how urban and rural regions can work together to supply renewable electricity. Using a German energy region as a case study, researchers analyzed cooperation between the city of Osnabrück and neighboring rural municipalities. They found that linking urban and rural areas increases self-sufficiency in cities but decreases it in rural regions. For example, rural Landkreis Osnabrück achieved 68% self-sufficiency alone but dropped to 60% when connected to the city, while the city's self-sufficiency rose from 27% to 60%.
