2 Energy imports and domestic production in Germany domestic production renewables lignite 70 hard coal % of primary energy consumption import dependence gas oil oil imports gas imports hard coal imports nuclear total imports Source: BMWi 2013 Renewables reduce Germany s energy dependence Andreas von Schoenberg 2

3 Three pillars of the Energiewende Renewable energy Energy efficiency Future grid Renewable Energy Sources Act National Climate Initiative Market Incentive Programme Energy Saving Ordinance Grid Expansion Acceleration Act Federal Requirement Plan Steady growth Cost-efficient Environmentally friendly Reduce energy consumption Improve efficiency Increase flexibility Enlarge capacities Integrate renewables Switch to renewables, halve energy consumption and upgrade grids. 31-Mar-15 Andreas von Schoenberg 3

4 Climate Energiewende targets until 2050 Renewable Energies Energy Efficiency % greenhouse gas reduction (vs. 1990) % electricity consumption % final energy consumption % primary energy consumption (vs. 2008) energy productivity building renovation Achieved % (estimated) 25.4% 12.4% (2012) -3,3 % +1.1% p.a. ~1% p.a to % p.a to doubling of renovation rate: 1% 2% -80 to Source: Federal Government 2010, BMU/BMWi 2014, AGEE-Stat 2014 Germany has set ambitious targets in all sectors and is on track Andreas von Schoenberg 4

6 Benefits of fostering energy efficiency and renewables The energy transition has positive effects on various levels Andreas von Schoenberg 6

7 German energy imports cost trend bill. 300% import costs saved due to RES import costs 250% 200% 150% 100% import costs saved due to RES and energy efficiency import costs excl. RES production actual import costs (incl. RES production) Source: BMU 2013, BMWi 2014 Renewables save Germany billions in import costs for fossil fuels Andreas von Schoenberg 7

8 Job creation in the German green tech sector employees (in 1,000) energy efficiency renewable energy & storage sustainable water sustainable transport material efficiency recycling economy Source: BMU 2012 The green tech sector already employed 1.4 million people in 2011, with efficiency and renewable energies as the main drivers Andreas von Schoenberg 8

9 German energy efficiency measures (federal level) Buildings Energy Saving Ordinance (building codes) and on-site consultations Low-interest loans for renovations Heat Metering Ordinance Energy performance certificates Appliances and lighting Electricity tax Energy Efficiency Labelling Ordinance Guidance on energy (Campaign: Climate Seeks Protection) Industry and business Grants for cross-cutting technologies On-site consultations European emissions trading Efficiency classification (Ecodesign Directive) Transport Motor vehicle taxation Fuel taxes Federal fuel strategy (Measures by Deutsche Bahn) A balance of incentives and regulations, consultation and information Andreas von Schoenberg 9
