The German Energiewende
FEED-IN TARIFF (FIT): HIGH INVESTMENT CERTAINTY FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY 1. FEED-IN PRIORITY 2. GUARANTEED GRID ACCESS 3. FIXED PAYMENTS FOR 20 YEARS (TECHNOLOGY, SIZE, REDUCED BY YEAR BY YEAR) - > REWARDING RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION; OPEN FOR ALL CITIZENS;
Germany s energy mix in2012 Natural Gas Other Photovoltaics Hard Coal Hydro Power Nuclear Total bn Biomass Lignite Renewables Windpower
Increase of Renewables from 5% to 25%
PV und Solar-Heating at Krischer s Home since 2001
Development of Wind-Energy
Main Challange: How to Fill the Times without Energy Production of Wind and PV
FOR THE WAY TO 100% RENEWABLES IN GERMANY IN THE NEXT DECADES ARE NEEDED: INCREASE OF RE (MOSTLY WIND AND PV) NEW DESIGN OF ENERGY-MARKET, I. E. FLEXIBLE REST -ENERGY SYSTEM: => EXTENSION AND OPTIMIZING THE GRID => BETTER CONDITIONS FOR COMBINED-HEAT-AND- POWER, GAS-FIRED-POWER-PLANTS, DEMAD-SIDE- MANAGEMENT (E. G. BY CAPICITY-MARKETS)
Renewables: only a small part of energy costs cent/kwh green: renewable-apportionement blue: other costs
Problem : Costs for Renewables for Private Hoseholds increase because Industry does not pay but benefits extra by low Prices at Stock-Exchange
Economic and Enviromental Benefits versus Costs of Renewables
Citizen power instead of company profits: 25000 Company profits in millions 20000 15000 10000 5000 0 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011
Individuals hold majority of renewables! 2011
Imported Oil Imported Gas Imported Coal Source: BAFA Costs of wind and sun stay the same!
HOW DOES GERMANY S ENERGY FUTURE DIFFER FROM THE FROM THE U.S.? IN GERMANY. - THERE IS AN ALL-PARTY AGREEMENT THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED; - THERE IS BROAD PUBLIC SUPPORT TO SWITCH TO A RENEWABLE ENERGY ECONOMY (PRIORITY FOR RE, NO NUCLEAR POWER); - THE ENERGY POLICIES ARE GEARED NOT TOWARDS LARGE CORPORATIONS, BUT SME AND CITIZENS WHICH ARE DRIVING THE ENERGY TRANSITION; - THERE STILL MANY THINGS TO DO IN GERMANY: ENERGY- EFFICIENCY, ETS, MARKET-DESIGN, COAL POWER-PLANTS
THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION!
BACKGROUND
Aims of the Green party 100% renewables by 2030 in the electricity sector high efficiency standards of fossil fuel-fired power plants installation of capacity markets with high emission and flexibility standards establishment of an energy efficiency fund (3 bn. )..
ENERGYEFFICENCY IT S WORTH IT shutdown of 10 nuclear power plants compensation of 9 coal-fired power plants savings of 19 bn of energy costs creation of 500.000 new jobs in the energy sector

Because renewables produce for 0 they lower the stock market price in the EOM Price/MWh stock market price electricity from renewables = 0
Renewables are good for the climate!

Decentralization means higher acceptance
