1 Energy Transition made in Germany - Welcome and Introduction Meike Wächter, 13/06/2017, Minsk Faciliator

2 Agenda 1. Germany s Energiewende reasons, goals and current developments 2. Renewables & their role in Germany 3. energy solutions made in Germany : the initiative and participating German companies Meike Wächter Page 2

3 Germany s Energiewende Meike Wächter Page 3

4 Five reasons for the Energiewende Development of new technologies as new sources of growth and employment Reduce dependency on energy imports Reduce carbon emissions and reach climate protection targets Phase-out nuclear power generation Energy policy can be both sustainable and economically successful Climate protection is a strong driver for the Energiewende complemented by strong economic and social drivers for change. Meike Wächter Page 4

Meike Wächter Page 5

6 The German Experience Two pillars of the Energiewende Supporting fields of action Energy Efficiency Key legislation: Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV) Heating Cost Ordinance Market and system integration Energy research and development Renewable Energy Key legislation: Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) Renewable Energy Heat Act Reduce energy consumption Cost-efficient European energy and climate policy Steady growth Environmentally compatible Energy efficiency and renewables secure a sustainable energy transition.

Meike Wächter Page 9

10 The challenge: Connecting Supply and Demand New power lines need to transport excess supply in northern Germany to southern Germany in order to prevent shortages Meike Wächter Page 10

11 Final energy consumption in the industry according to area of application in Germany (2016) Mechanical energy 23,2% ICT 1,3% Space heating 6,8% Other process cold 0,7% Lighting 1,4% Hot water 0,6% Cooling 0,7% Other process heat 65,3% Meike Wächter Page 11
