RE development in Germany and
economic effects
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 GHG-emissions until 2020 by 40% and until 2050 by 80% (compared to
1990)

Increase share of Renewables to 35% of electricity consumption by 2020, by
2030 to 50%, 2040 to 65%, 2050 to 80%

Increase final energy consumption share of REs to 18% in 2020, 45% in 2040
Positive effects
 Cutting dependency on fuel imports
 Creation of jobs in a future market / employment in the RE sector
Main Instrument to Promote REs
(ELECTRICITY production)

Act on Granting Priority to Renewable Energy Sources (EEG)





Fixed Feed-In tariffs (FITs) over 20 years guaranteed by law for RES
system operators
Grid operators are obliged to connect RES systems to the grid and to
buy the electricity from the system operators to set prices
Tariffs vary according to the source of energy, e.g. biomass, PV,
geothermal energy etc.
Amendments to the EEG at regular intervals in order to adjust the act
to current development of markets and (competitiveness of) technologies
Example: FITs for geothermal electricity production increased 2012.
Depending on technology up to 23, 25 or even 30 ct/kWh (e.g.
petrothermal projects) . Gross production factored (incl. own energy
consumption of pumps etc.) FITs for Photovoltaics - in contrast decreased
Main Instruments to Promote REs (HEAT production)

Renewable Energies Heat Act (EEWärmeG)



Market Incentive Program for Renewable Energies
(Marktanreizprogramm / Federal Environment Ministry)


Minimum share of heating energy supply from REs for new buildings
usually obligatory
Obligations depending on the technology/ies used (e.g. biomass
and heat pumps: 50%, solar thermal 15%)
Financial contributions / beneficial loans for certain REs investments
Loans by KfW Bankengruppe (KfW Group) - National business
development bank:

subsidised loans for energy-efficient housing and RES
Germany’s Energy Turnaround today
Act on Granting Priority to Renewable Energy Sources remains major
instrument to boost Res
Challenges:



R&D promotion for energy storage technologies
Increase of energy saving and efficiency
Speed-up grid expansion

Federal Government‘s Targets

Some figures: private households consume 30% of final energy consumption.
Almost 90% used for heating purposes.

Almost 1/3 of the GHG-emissions are due to buildings

2011 4,3 % of the national heat consumption was supplied
by shallow geothermal energy.

Heat supply share of REs planned to reach 14%
by 2020

Potential: 261 bl. kWh, actually 6 bl. kWh installed.

Forecast: 2015 almost 1 m, and 2020 1.8 m heat pumps
installed
