Sharing electricity in a crisis situation? Researchers investigate motivation for sharing

An increasing number of natural disasters, the rising share of renewable energies and the current gas crisis—these factors are putting a strain on the electricity networks. Experts are increasingly concerned about the stability of the electricity networks and point to an increased risk of large-scale, long-lasting power outages, so-called blackouts. These can have serious consequences for the population: Communication networks, water supply and health care systems could collapse.
