Abstract
Which technologies are currently booming in power generation? The answer can clearly be seen in the trends in global electricity generation data. Analysing this data using the theory of diffusion of innovations reveals how photovoltaics and wind power are gaining ground worldwide. Other technologies - especially coal and nuclear power - are being displaced, with Germany playing a pioneering role.
