3 The German Energiewende
Camila Vargas

4 Five reasons for the Energiewende
Development of new technologies as new sources of growth and employment Reduce dependency on energy imports Reduce carbon emissions and reach climate protection targets Phase-out nuclear power generation Energy policy can be both sustainable and economically successful Climate protection is a strong driver for the Energiewende complemented by strong economic and social drivers for change. Camila Vargas

5 Energiewende targets until 2050

Der Anteil der Energieerzeugung aus erneuerbaren Quellen am gesamten Energieverbrauch wuchs im ersten Quartal 2016 auf 13,4 Prozent. Im Vorjahr waren es noch 12,9 Prozent. Ziel der Bundesregierung ist es, den Anteil erneuerbarer Energie am gesamten Energieverbrauch bis 2020 auf 18 Prozent zu steigern. ( EnEff In den ersten drei Monaten 2016 sank der Stromverbrauch im Land um 0,6 Prozent verglichen mit dem Vorjahr – und das, obwohl der Februar einen Tag länger war.  Notes for presentation So we know how the legal framework looks, but what are the goals of Germany and where are we standing? The targets were defined in the 2010 Energy Concept of the Federal Government, The current government re-confirmed the targets (with additional electricity sector targets from the coalition treaty 2013). Greenhouse gas reduction: have to triple or even quadruple our effots in order to achieve mid-term goal 2020* Primary energy consumption: in order to still achieve stopover, we have to have a decrease our energy consumption of about 2,8 per cent p.a. (so far 1,1 % p.a.)** National targets for the building sector are the reduction of the heat demand of the building stock by 20% by 2020 (approx. equivalent to final energy consumption) and of the primary energy demand by 80% by 2050 with the objective of having an almost climate-neutral building stock by 2050. Please Note: (Final energy productivity increase amounts to 1.3% p.a. on average between 2008 and 2015, thus not reaching the targeted 2.1% per year.) (Please note that these numbers refer to the electricity and not the heat sector!) So if we look at the stopovers, some of the current numbers are not as high as they could be or as I would like them to be But keeping in mind that this transition has never been done by any highly industrialized country before, the data actually shows that the energiewende is working and that we are moving in the right direction. And the audience that is here today shows us, that we have the technological means to make this transition happen not only in Germany, but all over the world. We are going to take a closer look at the energy targets for buildings in the next section of the presentation Sources: Treibhausgasemissionen: UBA (2015): Ziele: BMWi/BMU (2010): Energy Concept. for an Environmentally Sound, Reliable and Affordable Energy Supply. 28.

6 The German Experience Two pillars of the Energiewende
Market and system integration Energy research and development Supporting fields of action European energy and climate policy Reduce energy consumption Cost-efficient Energy Efficiency Renewable Energy Steady growth Environmentally compatible Key legislation: Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV) Heating Cost Ordinance Key legislation: Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) Renewable Energy Heat Act Energy efficiency and renewables secure a sustainable energy transition.

9 Installed PV-capacity in Germany, end of 2016
Total installed capacity: GW 1.58 mio. installed PV-systems 5.9% share in generation of electricity 2016 2016: 1.5 GW installed capacity 24 mio. tons saved GHG-emissions in 2016 Von Flensburg bis Freiburg stehen in Deutschland rund 1,58 Millionen Photovoltaik-Anlagen mit einer Gesamtleistung von 41,3 Gigawatt [GW]. Pro Quadratkilometer Fläche sind es das 115 Kilowatt. 41% aller Anlagen stehen in den beiden südlichsten Bundesländern Bayern und Baden-Württemberg. Im Freistaat wurden bisher Photovoltaik-Anlagen mit einer Gesamtleistung von mehr als 11,6 GW installiert. Mit etwas weniger als 5,4 GW liegt Baden-Württemberg auf dem zweiten Platz, gefolgt von Nordrhein-Westfalen mit einem Anlagenvolumen von fast 4,5 Gigawatt. Source: Stromvergleich.com Camila Vargas

10 Slower than planned but steady…
2016: Bad weather conditions but still… May: More electricity via PV than via nuclear power plants September: New record of PV-electricity fed into the net (4.17 Mrd. kWh) Trotz geringer Ausbauzahlen war 2016 für die Photovoltaik ein gutes Jahr. Die Solaranlagen zwischen Freiburg und Flensburg speisten insgesamt fast 38 Milliarden Kilowattstunden [Mrd. kWh] Solarstrom in das öffentliche Stromnetz ein . Auch die schlechten Wetterverhältnisse konnten die PV-Anlagen nicht stoppen, im September mit 4,17 Mrd. kWh Sonnenstrom einen neuen Rekord aufzustellen. Der September 2016 lieferte damit 16% mehr als der Vorjahresmonat [3,6 Mrd. kWh]. Der Mai war ebenfalls ein Spitzenmonat. Am 8.5. um 13 Uhr lieferten alle PV-Anlagen gemeinsam 28,5 Gigawatt, was einem Anteil von 47% an der gesamten Stromerzeugung in Deutschland entsprach. Ebenfalls im Mai erzeugten deutsche Solarstromanlagen dem Fraunhofer ISE zufolge mehr Strom als deutsche Kernkraftwerke [4,86 GW netto*]. Source: Stromvergleich.com Camila Vargas
