Energiewirtschaftliches Institut an der Universität zu Köln

Dear visitors, friends and supporters of EWI and alumni,

The question of how to design the future German an European energy market is at the centre of current debates in energy policies. How can the increasing but volatile supply of renewable energy, the abitious targets on climate change and the use of fossil fuels be coordinated in a smooth and sustainstable way?

This year's EWI/F.A.Z. Energy Conference - taking place on the 25th of September 2012 in Cologne's historic venue "Gürzenich" - will be dealing with these and further questions concerning energy market design. You can obtain up-to-date information by registering on the conference's website (see "Event" top right).

Through applied research and teaching in the field of energy economics as well as academically based studies for the energy industry and policy makers the Institute of Energy Economics at the University of Cologne (EWI) contributes to the discussions for more than 60 years. Precisely this is our ambition: Anticipating pressing issues in the field of energy economics, exploring them with our methods and models and discussing the results together with our stakeholders in accordance with our guiding principle "Exploring energy markets - enhancing decisions".
