100 prozent erneuerbar stiftung

The 100 prozent erneuerbar Stiftung is a non-profit organization dedicated to shaping an energy transition that meets the needs of people. Founded in 2010 as the legal successor of the 100% erneuerbar campaign, the foundation works to establish a decentralized energy system with 100% renewable energies, where human needs, not economic interests, are the priority[3].

The foundation acts as an intermediary between science, business, politics, and society. It generates knowledge, analyzes deficits and experiences from decentralized practice, and makes its findings available to all stakeholders in the energy transition. Through projects and collaborations, the foundation develops answers to central questions, such as the role that citizens can and should play in the energy transition[2][3].

The main goal of the 100 prozent erneuerbar Stiftung is to achieve a full supply of renewable energies in Germany and Europe. To this end, the foundation examines the social aspects of the energy transition and focuses on the influence and significance of human actions in relation to the energy transition. It emphasizes the necessity of coordinated expansion planning to ensure a smooth and secure power supply through renewable energies[3][4].

The foundation advocates for a decentralized and community-based energy transition, where citizens are actively involved in shaping the energy system. It supports the idea that people can and should be not only passive consumers but also active shapers of the energy transition. This includes promoting local energy projects and strengthening the role of communities in implementing the energy transition[2][3].

Since August 2015, the 100 prozent erneuerbar Stiftung has been an independent foundation, which strengthens its independence and its ability to pursue its goals consistently. The funding of the foundation's activities is ensured by the founder Matthias Willenbacher and, in the future, through collaborations and alliances[3].
