Overview Transformation and the Renewable Energy Act (EEG) Use of Renewable Energy in Germany Wind Energy in Germany Impact of RE on the Labor Market Exportinitiative: Renewables Made in Germany
Transformation of the energy system in Germany and the Renewable Energy Act (EEG)
Transformation of the energy system in Germany Energiewende Nuclear power phase-out until 2022 Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions: by 40% until 2020 and by 80-95% until 2050 (compared to 1990) Increase share of renewables (FEC = Final Energy Consumption ): to 35% until 2020 and to 60% by 2050 share in electricity production until 2050: 80% Energy efficiency reduction of primary energy consumption by 20% until 2020 and 50% by 2050 (compared to 2008) increase refurbishment rate by 100% Faster expansion of the electricity grids Development of smart grids and storage facilities Photo: Reuters
Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) Basic concepts Feed-in-Tariff system fixed price for every kwh produced from RE for 20 years Obligation of grid operators to purchase RE electricity all different RE are considered, tariffs according to source and size of the plant Priority feed-in of electricity from RE into the grid as well as priority transmission and distribution Innovation is encouraged No burden on the federal budget

Wind energy in Germany
Trends Global wind at home in 75 countries Onshore Germany: recovery due to Energiewende Offshore Germany: construction started at last in 2012 Wind Sector: M&A activities expected Technology: innovation will open new markets Project finance offshore: banks are still very reluctant Employment: important sector with RE industry Climate protection: wind energy is essential Grid integration: bottleneck

The Export Initiative Renewables Made in Germany
The Renewable Energy Export Initiative Launched by the German Parliament in 2002 and operated by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology Main objectives: to stimulate the acceptance of renewable energies in other countries, to showcase Germany s technical and business expertise in the field of renewable energies, to provide comprehensive support to SMEs as they enter foreign markets, to contribute to climate protection.
