Financing: Non-Monetary Barriers and Opportunities for Energy Transition Investments in Germany

This paper examines how co-investments, preference, costs and benefits influence investment decisions and what the implications for financing the energy transition are. Using descriptive analysis and ordered logit regression, the study identifies individual non-monetary benefits - such as perceived contributions to an independent energy supply - as a primary driver of investment behavior. Additionally, co-investments in technology emerge as a significant catalyst for mobilizing household capital toward financial assets, including infrastructure and generation projects. Finally, financial private public participation models are found to contribute to energy justice and capital mobilization.
