The potential spatio-temporal patterns of renewable energies, which take into account international climate protection strategies, were neither analysed nor exactly visualised in their landscape complexity. Based on a GIS, we therefore want to model a regional energy landscape that corresponds to the objectives of the UN Climate Conference of Paris in terms of its regional greenhouse gas balance in the electricity sector. The analyses reveal that a strict orientation of the energy transition towards climate protection goals would strongly mechanise rural areas and significantly transform them ecologically and socially.
