 In Germany the energiewende covers mostly the '''power, and sector'''. In the context of developing countries, there are other relevant topics in addition to these three sectors: mostly the development of a '''[[Basic Energy Supply|sustainable energy supply]]''', and the fight '''against [[Energy Poverty|energy poverty]]''' worldwide. In the context of climate change, '''decarburization '''of the energy supply is a key issue. '''[[Access to Modern Energy|Energy access]]''': around 1.1 billion people do not have access to electricity and 2.9 billion rely on traditional biomass for their energy needs therefore suffering from energy poverty. '''Energy demand increase''': According to the IEA, energy demand will rise until 2040 by 40%; out of which around 90% will occur in developing and transitioning countries. The global energy transition is steered by international processes (UNFCCC climate process) and regulations (e.g. SDGs, Kyoto-Protocol, COP21 etc.) to combine the many different, individual transitions into one global process.<br/>
-Along with exporting the German energiewende to the international community, we can also learn a lot from international experiences such as Danish experience with civic participation, the Italian experience in the area of smart meters and lessons on steering flexible loads from the United States.<ref name="Rainer Quitzow, Sybille Roehrkasten, Martin Jaenicke. ‘The German Energy Transition in International Perspective’.

According to conventional wisdom “larger-scale power generation means lower-cost electricity” and that suggests the biggest wind and solar power plants will be cheapest. On the other hand, economies of scales for large wind and solar projects are limited since short transmissions work best. Only because of the energy transition, there is no need to keep the “century-old and archaic business model”. That is why customer-owned, smaller systems can compete at retail level in the USA, according to a john Farrell form the Energy Democracy Initiative. He believes is matters more, who will own the power stations (customer-owned vs. utility-owned).<ref name="John Farrell, Is Bigger Best in Renewable Energy?
