1 Energy Transition made in Germany - Welcome and Introduction, , Oslo

2 Agenda 1. Germany s Energiewende reasons, goals and current developments 2. Renewables & Energy Efficiency in Germany 3. energy solutions made in Germany : the initiative and participating German companies Page 2

3 Germany s Energiewende Page 3

4 Five reasons for the Energiewende Development of new technologies as new sources of growth and employment Reduce dependency on energy imports Reduce carbon emissions and reach climate protection targets Phase-out nuclear power generation Energy policy can be both sustainable and economically successful Climate protection is a strong driver for the Energiewende complemented by strong economic and social drivers for change Page 4

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