1 Renewable Energy Statistics in Germany

2 AGEE Stat Working group on renewable energies statistics Independent specialist body Set up by the Federal Environment Ministry in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Economics and the Federal Agricultural Ministry Working since 2004 Coordinated by the centre for solar energy and hydrogen research (ZSW) 2

3 AGEE Stat Members Experts from Federal Environmental Agency Federal Statistical Office Agency of Renewable Ressources Working Group on Energy Balances (AGEB) Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research (ZWS) 3

4 AGEE Stat General Task The AGEE-Stat helps to insure, that all statistics and data relating to renewable energies are part of a comprehensive, up-to-date and coordinated system In detail: establish renewable energies statistics for Germany create a basis for Federal Government s reporting obligations provide general information and PR carry out research work (supported by workshops and consultations) 4

5 AGEE Stat Type of Data Energy related data: Installed Capacity (total/added) Produced Energy Share of RE in Energy mix Import/Export Avioded energy imports data on grid infrastructure 5

6 Economy related data: AGEE Stat Type of Data Investments Generated economic activity Generated Jobs costs and prices of energy (total and by source) costs and prices of support measures 6

7 Environment related data: Avioded CO2 Emissions Better air quality AGEE Stat Type of Data 7
