Energiewende targets until 2050 Source: Federal Government 2010, BMU/BMWi 2014, AGEE-Stat 2014 Climate Renewable Energies Energy Efficiency % final energy consumption % electricity consumption % primary energy consumption (vs. 2008) energy productivity building renovation % greenhouse gas reduction (vs. 1990) 12.4% (2012) 25.4% -3,3 % +1.1% p.a. ~1% p.a. -23.8% ( estimated ) 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040 2050 +2.1% p.a. doubling of renovation rate: 1%  2% -40 -55 -70 -80 to -95 35 40 to 45 50 65 80 55 to 60 18 30 45 60 -20 -50 Achieved 2013

6. Integrated policy package for the Energiewende The German energy system is being transformed in all sectors. Electricity Guaranteed feed-in tariffs for renewable energies Priority access for renewable energies Nuclear phase-out Heating Renewable Energies Heat Act Market Incentive Programme (MAP) Transport Biofuel quota and tax incentives for biofuels Governmental plan on e-mobility Research & Development (Sixth) Energy Research Programme (Federal Government) Public research funding > €150 million in 2012 Source: BMWi 2014

7. Smart Grid projects in Germany

8. Energy efficiency and smart grids Producers and consumers interact and communicate via the smart grid. Source: BMWi, 2014

9.  140 Mio. Euros funding  Key objective: an efficient integration of fluctuating renewable energy sources into the power supply system.  6 model regions in Germany, 6 pilot projects, in which the use of information technology in the energy sector was explored and tested  development of an "Internet of Energy" which monitors, controls and regulates the electricity system intelligently  In addition, general themes which transcend individual projects, such as the legal framework, business models, and standardization, were also studied. E-Energy – IT-based energy system of the future (2008 – 2013)

10.  eTelligence, Cuxhaven Intelligence for energy, markets and networks E-DeMa  Rhein-Ruhr Demonstration of decentralized interconnected energy systems and development towards an E-Energy marketplace of the future  MeRegio, Baden-Württemberg Minimum Emission Regions E-Energy – Projects  Mannheim, Rhein-Neckar An “energy organism” for the intelligent distribution decentralized generated energy  RegModHarz, Harz Regenerative Smart Energy Region Harz  Smart Watts, Aachen The intelligent kilowatt hour

11.  Intelligent Energy Showcase - Digital Agenda for the energy revolution  New incentive programme starting Feb. 2015  In the SINTEG model regions, intelligent ICT-based networks (smart grids) are to ensure system security at times with up to 100 % renewable energies and to demonstrate an improved interaction between production, consumption, storage and network.  Targets:  safe and efficient network operation with high percentage of renewable energies  Increase of efficiency and flexibility potentials (market and network)  efficient and safe interaction between all players within an intelligent power grid  more efficient use of existing network structure  reduction of network expansion requirements on the distribution level http://www.bmwi.de/EN/Topics/Energy/Grids-and-grid-expansion/sinteg,did=718778.html „Schaufenster intelligente Energie - Digitale Agenda für die Energiewende (SINTEG)“
