2 Agenda I. Renewables in Germany: Historic development and status quo II. Effects on Energy markets: Future changes & needs III.New Incentives and Business Opportunities

3 The German Energy Concept: Goals Main Objectives: Climate protection measures CO2 cuts vs % -80% Renewable share of Total energy consumption 18% 60% Electricity consumption 35% 80% Heat generation 14% 60% Energy efficiency measures Increase in energy productiveness 2.1% p.a. Reduction of energy consumption -50% (2050 vs. 2008) Reduction of electricity consumption -25% (2050 vs. 2008) Renovation rate 2% p.a. Reduction of energy for transportation -40% (2050 vs. 2005)

4 The German Energy Concept: Strategies The German renewable energy strategy consist of four incentive pillars: Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) Objective: renewable energies should represent 35% of the total power production in Germany by Conducive feed-in tariffs are the main legal instrument used to promote renewable energies. Renewable Energy Heat Act (EEWärmeG) Objective: 14% of heat produced by renewable energies by Obligation to integrate heat production from renewable sources in new construction or CHP as a substitute. Added bonuses for innovative technologies and CHP. Cogeneration Act (KWK) Objective: 25% of electricity produced by cogeneration by Cogeneration bonuses and subsidies of up to 750 million per year from Biofuels Quota Act (BioKraftQuG) Fixed blending mandates for biofuels: From 6.6% in 2006, the government currently aims 12.0% by 2020 Fuel tax exemption for special biofuels (2 nd gen.)

5 Electricity generation [GWh] The German Energy Concept: Results The EEG was the main driver for the growth of renewable electricity, which had a 23% share of German electricity consumption in 2012 Development of electricity generation from renewable energy sources in Germany StrEG: January 1991 March 2000 Amendment to BauGB: November 1997 EEG: April 2000 EEG: August 2004 EEG: January 2009 EEG: June 2011 EEG: Jan Hydropower Windenergy Biomass * Photovoltaics * Solid, liquid, gaseous biomass, biogenic share of waste, landfill and sewage gas; Electricity from geothermal energy is not presented due to the negligible quantities of electricity produced; StrEG: Act on the Sale of Electricity to the grid; BauGB: Construction Code; EEG: Renewable Energy Sources Act; Source: BMU-KI III 1 according to Working Group on Renewable Energies-Statistics (AGEE-Stat);

6 The German Energy Concept: Outlook Governemntal targets for renewables share in the German electricity mix: 35% by 2020; 80% by 2050 strong increase of fluctuating sources Structure of Electricity Production from Renewable Energies in Germany ) of renewable energies Prognosis of yearly installed offshore capacity (in GW) 1) Biogas 15,00% Biomass 12,00% Others 0,57% Waste 4,43% TOTAL: 135 GWh Wind Energy 33,00% Prognosis of Electricity Production (in TWh/a) from Wind in Germany 2) Hydro Power 15,00% Photovoltaics 20,00% 0 Hydro Power Wind - Offshore Biomass Wind - Onshore PV Geothermal Sources : 1) BDEW 2013; 2) BMU
