The German energy transition is pursuing the goal that the share of electricity consumed from renewable energies should be at least 80 per cent by 2030. But can renewable energies also reliably generate electricity in the cold, dark depths of winter when outside is a never-ending barrage of rain, ice and snow? To what extent do these factors impact the power plants and what solutions are out there? In this blog post, we will take a look at the most important influences and impacts on renewable energies.

The expansion of photovoltaic plants needs to be accelerated to make the energy transition a success. But with an increasing lack of suitable land, the question arises whether to use it for agriculture or to generate electricity. Agrophotovoltaics allows areas of land to be used for two purposes simultaneously: photovoltaic modules on stilts generate electricity and at the same time, the land beneath them can be used for agriculture. But how does it work and what are the advantages and disadvantages?

Clouds are changing the way we run and develop software. Many of the limitations that used to exist are no longer an issue when we embrace cloud-native approaches. This, together with new influencing factors such as costs, has an impact on our software architectures. In my blog post, I will explain what new services the cloud provides.

In my blog post, I will explain why the megatrend of new work is also an important topic in the insurance industry.

Agility is no longer a foreign concept nowadays. Insurance companies have to be flexible and agile now, with their tried and tested business models standing in the way of this.
