French-German Renewables Cooperation

Where do we stand with regard to energy transition ambition on both sides of the Rhine? Has the Débat National sur la Transition Énergétique and the Energiewende 2.0 led to a better understanding of the matters at stake and the need for a transnational and European cooperation? Or is it merely political window-dressing without concrete follow-ups?
These questions will be at the core of this Böll Lunch Debate with experts from France, Germany and Brussels.
