Transformation of the energy system in Germany and the Renewable Energy Source Act

Headline diagram (Verdana Bold 18)

Transformation of the energy system in Germany -“Energiewende” June 2011 // Goals

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):to 35% until 2020 and to 60% by 2050share in electricity production until 2050: 80%

Energy efficiencyreduction 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

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 public purse

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 tap foreign markets,

to contribute to climate protection.
