Philipp Theile is a Senior Research Associate at the EWI and a doctoral candidate at the University of Cologne. His research focuses on emerging electricity demand, for example because of the growing adoption of electric mobility, the transition of heat supply systems to renewable energy sources, digital infrastructure, and hydrogen production. In research and consulting projects for public and industrial clients, Philipp Theile has assessed investment needs for the energy system transition, evaluated integrated hydrogen production facilities, modeled the impact of Germany’s Building Energy Act on heating system investments, and analyzed the interactions between regional and national climate targets. Before joining EWI, Philipp Theile studied industrial engineering with a focus on electrical power engineering at RWTH Aachen University, the Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm (Sweden) and Leibniz University Hannover.
