Behind Mechthild Wörsdörfer lie a few very busy months. The top official is currently the most important German manager of the energy crisis in Brussels. As Deputy Director General of the Directorate-General for Energy, the Hesse native has been shuttling from meeting to meeting since February. Wörsdörfer explains the crisis policy and, together with her team, tries to cast the demands of the heads of state and government for alternative energy sources and measures against high electricity and gas prices into law.
