3 German Wind Energy Association (BWE) at a Glance

4 About BWE One of the largest associations in the field of renewable energies (more than 20,000 members) Political work on national/federal and regional level (13 federal state associations and 41 regional associations) Partner of 1,100 companies (manufacturers, suppliers, project planners and experts) and of 2,200 operating companies Member of other associations and committees on international level (WindEurope, EREF, GWEC and WWEA)

8 Status of Wind Energy in Germany Increased efficiency Due to extensive research and development, wind turbine technology has made an enormous leap forward in recent years. A single wind turbine in the newest performance class can supply up to 4,800 three-person households with clean power. Source: BWE

17 Renewable Energy Act (EEG) and Costs

18 EEG milestones EEG EEG 12 2-step reference yield EEG 09 model FiT voluntary direct priority marketing dispatch binding 2020 RES-target EEG 14 flexible cap FiP - mandatory direct marketing reduced tariff no FiP in case of negative prices Source: BWE

19 Decreasing wholesale electricity prices due to increased cost efficiency of wind and PV EEG surcharge (ct/kwh) Wholesale electricity price (ct/kwh) Source: CLENS, TSO, BEE

20 Household electricity prices (ct/kwh) Relatively high consumer prices due to multiple price components VAT EEG surcharge CHP surcharge Electricity tax Consession levy Grid fees Procurement, sales Source: BMWi, 2015

21 Consensus and acceptance in society Despite growing costs: o 55 % think the expansion of RES is not progressing fast enough, 33 % think the pace ist just right o 57 % consider the Energiewende to be very important, 36 % important Costs are understood as investment in the future and the development of an industry but: distribution of costs is an issue Source: BDEW, Energiemonitor 01/2016,

22 Key success factors for wind energy development in Germany Reliable regulatory framework High acceptance level Decentralization and accessibility for citizens

23 Achievements and challenges of wind energy development Achievements: Creation of local employment and growth Development of a new worldwide competitive industry Decreased dependency on fuel imports CO2 reductions Reduced electricity wholesale prices Challenges: Maintainance of public acceptance (address public and environmental concerns) Coordination of grid expansion and wind deployment Sector coupling Economical operation of wind farms post- FIT contracts i.a.
