44 Conclusion: 7 Theses for a Sustainable Electricity Supply of Future Climate change and shortage of resources account for new, sustainable and affordable energy concepts. The energy transition in Germany is a combined task of politics, society, industry and research. The changes in electrical energy systems (power plant-grid-storageusage) are at the centre of the transition process. The today s level of reliability of supply has to be preserved. The volatile RES require reserve power and storage. Impartiality over individual interests: The overall system concept is of main importance. The training of young professionals finger on the pulse is more than ever of a great significance. Page 44 Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Luther 12 June 2014
