Franco-German Office for the Energy Transition (DFBEW / OFATE)

The Franco-German Office for the Energy Transition (DFBEW/OFATE) - an information and networking platform for all German and French actors in the energy transition. Since it was founded in 2006 by the governments of Germany and France, the DFBEW's objective is to enable its members to exchange information and build bridges between all players in the energy transition in both countries, whether they come from administration, research or industry. The DFBEW's events and publications provide the public, the administrations of both countries and its 250 member organisations with factual and precise information on the major topics of energytransition : renewable energies for electricity and heat, energy efficiency, security of supply... Also social, ecological and economic developments are taken in consideration in the context of energytransition and, since 2022, issues related to the decarbonisation of industry. The offices in Berlin and Paris are located directly at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and the French Ministry of Energy Transition (MTE) respectively, thus enabling a close exchange with politicians. @DFB_EW | www.dfbew.eu @OFA_TE | www.ofate.eu
