Political Framework for
Renewable Energies in Germany
12th of November 2008AHK-Program “Renewables Made in Germany”Uusikaupunki, Finland
Sebastián Rivera, Ecofys Germany GmbH
Support mechanisms in Germany
• The Renewable Energy Act: Feed-in Tariff for electricity
• The Renewable Heat Act and the Market Incentive Program
• Tax exemptions replaced by quota
The Renewable Energy Law - EEG
• Enacted in 2000, adjusted in 2004 and latest amendments to be in force as from January 1st 2009
• Priority for feed-in of RE
• Feed-In Tariffs for Renewable Power
• 2005: European Commission attested feed-in tariffs to be an effective and cost efficient instrument
Cent/kWh Degression
Hydropower (< 5 MW) 6.65 - 9.67 0%
Biomass (<20 MW) 8.06 – 20.83 1.5% (on base tariff)
Geothermal Energy (<20MW)
7.16 - 15.00 1.0%
Wind energy (onshore)
5.07 - 8.03 2.0%
Wind energy (offshore)
6.07 - 8.92 2.0%
Solar power 35.49 – 48.99 5%-6.5%

EEG effects on technologies
Essential Changes to EEG 2004• Basic structure retained• Higher requirements for power generating
facilities• Improvement of grid management and feed-
in conditions for RE• Increase of financial incentives for
repowering
Improved framework conditions Significant changes in tariffs in some RE-
sectors (e.g. Biogas)
The Renewable Heat Act
• To come into Force on the 1st of January 2009
• Main Elements:Obligation for the use of Renewable
Energy sources for Heat Integration of the Budget for the
Market Incentive Program within the Law
Incentive to the development of district heating networks
• ObligationBuilding owners obligated to use
renewable energy sources Combination of technologies possible
Exemptions for technical non-feasibility or preservation of historical architecture
The Renewable Heat Act
The Market Incentive Program MAP
• Continuation of MAP 2007 with new focal points and higher budgets2008: 350 mio.€ 2009 - 2012: 500 mio.€ (by Law)
• Additional new bonus system for highly efficient facilities and intelligent coupling of different renewable energy sources
• Additional subsidies for efficient heat pumps
MAP - Comparison 2007/2008
MAP 2007 MAP 2008
Solar collectors (warm water) <40m2
40€/m2 60€/m2
Solar collectors (warm water & heating)<40m2
70€/m2 105€/m2
Pellet boilers & stoves(<100kW)
24€/m2 36€/m2
Wood chip boilers (per installation):
500€ 500€
Split log gasification boilers (15-30kW) (per installation):
750€ 1.125€
Bio-fuels – recent developments
• Total bio-fuels until 2014: 6,25 % energetic
• Support coupled to cross compliance standards (habitat protection, minimum environmental cultivation standards)
• 2011 quota will be revised
• Tax reduction of 3 Ct/l for B-100
Renewable fuels in Germany
Structure of biogenic fuelsin Germany in 2006
Total: 40,4 TWh
Biodiesel72.9%
Bioethanol8.8% Vegetable oil
18.4%
Sources: Internet Update BMU Presentation "Renew able energy sources in f igures – national and international development-" Status: November 2007, provisional f igures
Current Discussions
• Positive energy balance of bioethanol production not always guaranteed
• Sustainability certification system (also for imported biomass)
• Second generation biofuels need further R&D
• Food vs. Fuel

• EU-assigned RES-E target for Germany in 2010 is 12.5% already exceeded in 2007
• National targets for 2020:• Renewable Electricity share: 25-30 %• Renewable Heat share: 14% • Biofuels share: 17% ?
• European Commission attested feed-in tariffs to be an effective and cost efficient instrument
EU quota system of complementary character
Germany in the European context
Conclusion policy measures
• Big future challenges• German approach has been very
successful so far – electricity: targets exceeded
• Technologies are available / strong industry has developed
• Smart support schemes must aim at making technologies competitive
• International cooperation needed
Conclusions
• RE are climate friendly, technologically mature, a „job wonder“, highly popular, approaching competitiveness,… => i.e. a widely accepted option for today AND tomorrow
• Political will / smart support is essential for further market development
• EU Renewable targets: not „burden“ sharing but sharing of new business opportunities
