4 RES data collection in Germany in general Regulation n 1099/2008 regulates energy statistics on the EU level Energy Statistics Act 2003: regulates data collection in general envisages different surveys along the year Data collection via Statistics Offices (1) Länder Offices (disaggregated level) (2) Federal Office (aggregated level) (3) use for e.g. reporting purposes /publications Renewable Energy Act: Regulates data collection with focus on RE Data collected and processed by Federal Network Agency Annual EEG account Non official data: Due to cut-off limits (e.g. small hydro, biomass etc) or missing inquiries (like f.e. as concerns private households, or the services sector) further non official data sources need to be utilised: Trade unions/organisations (like in the area of heat pumps, solarthermal,) Expert approximations

5 RES data collection in Germany in particular : AGEE-Stat Dispersion of actors as well as missing data has lead to establishment of a special Working Group Established in 2004 in order to generate statistics and compile data on renewable energy, to incorporate them into a comprehensive, up to-datecoordinated system creates a basis for meeting the German government s various national, EU and international reporting obligations and Provides expert information on renewable energy data and development Coordination office since 1st January 2016 lies within the Federal Environment Agency (UBA)

PV) biomass for heating purposes Amendment process of Energy Statistics Law (in progress) Extension of group of respondents and of features block heat and power plants use of administrative data possible extension of sub-annual surveys
