Introduction Total Supply of Primary Energy in Germany 2000-2050 Reduction of conventional energy sources 52% Expansion of renewable energy sources 48% Reduction of energy consumption 45% Routing Scenario (Ministry for the Environment) The implementation will lead to completely new structures in energy supply and consumption. 2 2
Introduction New Structures of Energy Supply: Close Cooperation of RES and Energy Efficiency Requirements: An increase of energy efficiency demands technological progress as well as completely new user s behaviour A massive expansion of RES demands maximum utilisation of regional RES potentials Thus, the new supply structures will obtain an increasing decentralized character What is meant by regional supply structures, what kind of advantages do they offer and how can they be supported purposefully? 3 3
Regional Value Creation Economic Perspective of Energy Supply Central energy systems supporting global division of labour and value creation in big enterprises Decentralized energy systems supporting regional value creation and civil participation RES = strong structural change winner and loser (regions) RES = hope for chances in regional development 4
