Stefan Schroeter

As a business journalist in Leipzig, I mainly write about energy topics for newspapers, magazines and websites. In doing so, I look for connections to other fields and within Central and Eastern Europe. I’m particularly fascinated by the transition from established energy sources to the age of renewable energy.
