Energy Goals of the German Federal Government
Goals: Energy Security, Econimic benefits and Climate Protection German government intents to replace fossil and nuclear energy sources step by step through renewable energies like wind, solar geothermal and bioenergy. Electricity, heat and fuels generated from renewables make a country less dependent from energy imports. Renewables help creating new jobs and a new economic sector Renewables play a vital role in helping to reduce green house gas emissions
Germany s Energy Turnaround in 2011 Fukushima led to Germany s energy turnaround by cabinet decision in June 2011: Nuclear power phase out until 2022 while keeping the aim to reduce CO 2 emissions by 40% until 2020 and by 80% until 2050 (compared to 1990) Increase share of Renewables to 35% of electricity consumption until 2020, 2030 to 50%, 2040 to 65%, 2050 to 80% Renewable Energies Act remains major instrument to boost RES Challenges: R&D promotion for energy storage technologies Increase of energy saving and efficiency Speed-up grid expansion

EEG: Act on Granting Priority to Renewable Energy Sources To protect the climate, the EEG aims to increase the proportion of renewable energy sources in total energy supply to at least 30% by 2020 Key features of the German EEG: Fixed Feed-In tariffs over 20 years guaranteed for RES system operators (legally binding) Grid operators are obliged to connect RES systems to the grid and to buy the electricity from the system operators to the tariffs defined Tariffs vary according to the source of energy, e.g. Biomass, Solar PV etc. Amendments to the EEG / FITs at regular intervals in order to adjust the act to current development of markets and (competitiveness of) technologies
