1 Energy Infrastructure Day Why does a consultant become shareholder of a Power-to-Gas company? Hans Poser, Munich, 6 November 2014

2 Average wind and PV production will be close to average demand around noon in Germany Day profile in 2050 Assumptions Installed capacity wind increases Onshore with net 2.5 GW annually Offshore to 6.5 GW until 2020 and to 15 GW until 2030 Installed capacity PV increases with net 2.5 GW annually As a basis the German load curve for 2013 was applied and assumed constant Ø GW Increase installed capacity PV from 35 GW to 127 GW until 2050 Increase installed capacity wind from 32 GW to 140 GW until 2050 PV 2013 Wind 2013 Load Germany Sources: EEX transparancy data, Entsoe, Finadvice analysis
