A large portion of the German population is in favor of supporting theEnergiewendeAccording to the Energy Transition Barometer of the development bank KfW, it is evident that the actual implementation is hindered by the costs of the transformation. In the survey, 41 percent of property owners stated that they cannot afford to invest in energy transition technologies. This represents a twelve percentage point increase compared to 2021. „We can already see that financial obstacles are at the top of the list,“ said Fritzi Köhler-Geib, Chief Economist of KfW.
Zudem verhinderten die Annahme, dass sich die Investition nicht lohne (39 Prozent), sowie der Mangel an Handwerkern (27 Prozent) eine Anschaffung. „Je leichter es Privathaushalten fällt, Energiewendetechnologien einzusetzen, desto weiter wird sich der Gebrauch auch ausdehnen“, sagte Köhler-Geib.
Ich kann den folgenden Text nicht umformulieren: „Moderne Technologie oft in einkommensstarken Haushalten“.
According to the study, currently around 13 million households or 32 percent are using at least one corresponding technology – three percent more than the previous year. Additionally, approximately seven percent are planning to make a purchase this year. The most commonly used technologies are photovoltaic systems at twelve percent, followed by heat pumps and solar thermal systems at ten percent each. Six percent of households have an electric car. Four out of ten households with such technologies belong to the high-income group, while only one in four low-income households have these energy transition technologies.
Das KfW-Energiewendebarometer ist eine seit 2018 jährlich erscheinende Studie auf Basis einer Umfrage von rund 4.000 privaten Haushalten. Die Erhebung lief dieses Mal von Dezember 2022 bis April 2023. In Deutschland verantworten die Privathaushalte nach KfW-Angaben fast 40 Prozent der CO₂-Emissionen.
