The German Renewable
Sources Act (EEG) 2009
Political framework for wind energy development in Germany
January 2009
Amended EEG in force!
EEG 2009: Higher remuneration for new turbines onshore and
offshore since 1rst January 2009, lower rate of degression
Onshore (§ 29)
Offshore (§31)
•Initial remuneration (2009):
9.20 ct/kWh
•Basic remuneration (2009):
5.02 ct/kWh
•Degression:
1% p.a.
•Not linked to producer price index
•Initial remuneration (2009):
13 ct/kWh
•Sprinter bonus on top of initial
remuneration:
2 ct/kWh if commissioned before 31 Dec.
2015
•Basic remuneration (2009):
3.50 ct/kWh
•Degression:
5% p.a. from 2015
EEG 2009: Recompensation onshore wind – additional boni
Additional bonus for improved
grid compatibility - SDL
Bonus for new turbines: 0.5 ct/kWh
on top of the initial remuneration;
old turbines: 0.7 ct/kWh for limited
period
Repowering : Bonus payable
on top of the initial remuneration
amounting to 0.50 ct/kWh
Basic remuneration

EEG 2009: Clear rules for selling wind power on the stock exchange
Direct marketing
EEG 2004:
EEG 2009: §17
•
•
Entry and exit at any time, but not
accepted by transmission grid
operators and Federal Network
Agency (BNetzA).
•
Entry and exit on a monthly basis,
tba one month ahead
Or: Marketing of partial amounts
(fixed percentage of current output)
Future challenges:
- Repowering
- Offshore
- Electric mobility
- Small wind turbines
Wind energy technology - increase in output
Repowering – less turbines, more output!

Current prospects and targets for offshore wind energy
• 3,500 MW until 2015
• 10,000 MW until 2020
• 20,000 – 25,000 MW until 2030
Framework conditions:

Alpha
Ventus
• 23 projects licensed, adding up to an overall capacity of currently over 6,500 MW
• New tariff since January 2009: 15 cents/Euro for 12 years – should be sufficient
to cover higher risk and specific demands of German offshore development
• Cable connection provided and financed by grid operator, but long planning
times (only one line completed to date)
• Grid expansion into German centres of electricity consumption and better
connection into trans-European grid system in the future (early planning!)
Driving with „electric wind energy“: less expensive …
… and less polluting!
Small wind turbines
Perspectives of wind energy
in Germany until 2020
German EU-target for renewable energy: 18 % until 2020
= More than 30 % renewable electricity until 2020
(Energy and Climate Programme end 2007 / EEG 2008)
2020 Electricity mix – Renewables secure 47% of supply
2020: Wind power will cover 25 % of gross electricity consumption
