Prokon in the podcast ‘Energy in Transition’: Why the energy transition is better than its reputation
Negative electricity prices, grid expansion, security of supply, geopolitical crises – hardly any topic is currently being debated as controversially as the future of our energy system. That is exactly what Henning von Stechow discusses in the podcast “Energie im Wandel” by Claus Hartmann. It quickly becomes clear: the energy transition is far more than just climate protection. It has long since become a matter of economic viability, independence and future resilience.
In the conversation, the Prokon board member offers fascinating insights into the reality behind many headlines. Why renewable energies actually lower electricity prices on the exchange. Why fossil fuels remain a permanent price risk. And why grids, storage and flexibility are now crucial to how successful the energy transition in Germany will be.

At the same time, it is also about Prokon’s special story. More than ten years ago, a company restructuring gave rise to an energy cooperative that now has around 41,000 members – supported by people who want to actively help shape the energy transition.
The podcast makes clear why Prokon today not only builds wind farms, but is increasingly also driving forward topics such as storage, intelligent electricity marketing and the direct supply of green electricity. Because the energy world is changing rapidly – and Prokon wants to actively help shape this development.
