1 Renewable Energies in Germany at a Glance November 5 th, 2013 in Chicago, IL Dirk Volkmann, eclareon GmbH Management Consultants on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology

2 Overview Transformation and the Renewable Energy Act (EEG) Use of Renewable Energy in Germany Wind Energy in Germany Impact of RE on the Labor Market Exportinitiative: Renewables Made in Germany

3 Transformation of the energy system in Germany and the Renewable Energy Act (EEG)

4 Transformation of the energy system in Germany Energiewende Nuclear power phase-out until 2022 Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions: by 40% until 2020 and by 80-95% until 2050 (compared to 1990) Increase share of renewables (FEC = Final Energy Consumption ): to 35% until 2020 and to 60% by 2050 share in electricity production until 2050: 80% Energy efficiency reduction of primary energy consumption by 20% until 2020 and 50% by 2050 (compared to 2008) increase refurbishment rate by 100% Faster expansion of the electricity grids Development of smart grids and storage facilities Photo: Reuters

5 Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) Basic concepts Feed-in-Tariff system fixed price for every kwh produced from RE for 20 years Obligation of grid operators to purchase RE electricity all different RE are considered, tariffs according to source and size of the plant Priority feed-in of electricity from RE into the grid as well as priority transmission and distribution Innovation is encouraged No burden on the federal budget

12 Wind energy in Germany

13 Trends Global wind at home in 75 countries Onshore Germany: recovery due to Energiewende Offshore Germany: construction started at last in 2012 Wind Sector: M&A activities expected Technology: innovation will open new markets Project finance offshore: banks are still very reluctant Employment: important sector with RE industry Climate protection: wind energy is essential Grid integration: bottleneck

14 Wind energy market development Total installed capacity 31,307 MW 29,060 MW Newly installed capacity 2,415 MW 2,085 MW Number wind turbines 23,030 22,297 Newly installed wind turbines (incl. Repowering) Electricity generation 46 bn kwh 48,9 bn kwh Source: BWE

15 German Wind Industry Data for 2012 Production Volume of the German wind power plant operators: EUR 6.34 billion (2011: EUR 5.96 billion) Export rate: 67% (2011: 66%) World market share: about 15% Investment in wind power plants in Germany: EUR 2.7 billion (2011: EUR 2.2 billion) Investment in onshore wind power plants in Germany: EUR 2.6 billion Investment in offshore wind power plants in Germany: EUR 120 million

16 Data for the Domestic Market in the first half of 2013 New onshore wind power capacity: 1,038 MW (1st half of 2012: 959 MW) New offshore wind power capacity: 105 MW (1st half of 2012: 45 MW) Total newly installed wind power capacity: MW (1st half of 2012: 1004 MW) Total wind power capacity per 30 June 2013: 32,422 MW (30 June 2012: 30,016 MW) Constant Upward Trend in 2012 and First Half of 2013

30 The Export Initiative Renewables Made in Germany

31 The Renewable Energy Export Initiative Launched by the German Parliament in 2002 and operated by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology Main objectives: to stimulate the acceptance of renewable energies in other countries, to showcase Germany s technical and business expertise in the field of renewable energies, to provide comprehensive support to SMEs as they enter foreign markets, to contribute to climate protection.
