Phase-out of nuclear power Regulatory framework 14th June 2000: Coalition of Socialdemocrats (SPD) and Green Party (Die Grünen) decides the phase-out of nuclear power Agreement with the utilities owning nuclear power plants 2010: Christian Democratic party (CDU) under Angela Merkel decides extended operating lives of nuclear power plants Slide 9 Düsseldorf, September 23th, 2015

16 Measures for the realization of the Energy Transition Renewable energy Electricity Sector EEG Controlled development of renewable energy closely linked with the development of grids Renewable energy Heat Sector EEWG Market incentives for Heat from Renewables (EEWärmeG) Renewable energy Traffic Rate for use of Biofuels (6.25%) and development of E-Mobility 2020: 1 Million Vehicles; 2030: 6 Million Vehicles Storage and Grids Controlled, rapid and transparent development of new grids (2800 km) and renovation of existing grids (2900 km) Slide 16 Düsseldorf, September 23th, 2015

17 The German Feed-In-Tariff-scheme Regulates the renewable energy plants owners claims vis-à_vis the grid owners: Connection guaranty Priority Feed-in legally fixed compensation over a period of 20 years (feed-in tariff only until 2017) Amount of compensation according to: Technology and size of the plant Year when put into operation is submitted to an annual, quarterly or monthly degression Actual amount ( ): Photovoltaic ct/kwh; 0.5% monthly degression Wind onshore 4.95 ct/kwh (base amount); 8.93 ct/kwh (initial amount first 5 years); 0.4 % quarterly degression Wind offshore 3.90 ct/kwh (base amount); 15.4 ct/kwh (initial amount first 12 years); fix degression from 2018 Biomass ct/kwh; 0.5% quarterly degression Source: EEG; Bundesnetzagentur Slide 17 Düsseldorf, September 23th, 2015
