Abstract: The energy concept of September 2010, known as the “Energiewende”, provides mainly a nuclear power phase-out, a reduction of the energy demand by using energy more efficiently, and a decarbonization of the energy supply by switching from fossil to renewable sources (Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi), 2015). In order to achieve the latter objective of the Energiewende, it will be necessary to expandtremendously technologies based on renewable sources like on- and offshore wind parks, open space and rooftop photovoltaics as well as biomass plants, and, thus, to decentralize the German energy system. Despite the general support for the energy transition among the German population (bdew, 2016; BDI, 2014), the installation of new renewable energy technologies is often confronted with public rejection or protest on thelocal level. Therefore, the communication of goals, measures and impacts of energy system’s changes to the citizens might be a momentous task in order to attain public acceptance of the energy transition. In this respect, we focus in our survey based study on the analysis of the persuasiveness and awareness of numerous pro and counter arguments on selected electricity generation technologies. The survey was administeredonline to members of a German access panel. The results of our quantitative analyses show that the use of arguments for communicating the energy transition involves some problematic issues that should be addressed in future.
