1 Energy Efficiency in Germany - Welcome and Introduction Thorsten Gusek, September , Chicago

2 The Triangle of Energy Policy Objectives of the Energiewende Source: BMWi 2014

3 Source: Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS), 2011 Current Driving Forces of Germany s Energiewende Already after Chernobyl (1986) and even before many Germans called for a phase out of nuclear energy use Finally the Catastrophe in Fukushima led to Germany s energy turnaround by cabinet decision in June 2011: Nuclear power use phase out until 2022: Deactivation of eight nuclear power plants in 2011 Nine power plants remaining that will be switched off until 2022

4 Energiewende targets until ; Source: Federal Government 2010, BMU/BMWi 2014, AGEE-Stat 2014, AGEB 2015

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