As a leading developed nation of energy transition, Germany has achieved great progress of energy transition by a series of policies such as renewable energy legislation, shutdown of nuclear power stations, phase-out of coal-fired power and starting the carbon emissions trading system. During the process of energy transition, Germany also encountered issues like retarded grid construction, slow progress of carbon emission reduction in mobility sector, excessive subsidy for renewable energy. As a latecomer of green transition, China needs to prudently consider and deliberate Germany’s experience and lessons of energy transition.
