1. Energy Transition made in Germany – An Introduction Paul Stolz, energiewaechter GmbH 22.10.2019, Tallinn

2. “energy solutions made in Germany” Aims of the initiative • Promotion of renewable energy and energyefficienttechnologies • Showcase sustainable energy solutions • Implementation of projects • Know-how transfer • Contribution to international climate protection

3. Information www.german-energy-solutions.de Subscribe to the newsletter Online information • Information about technologies made in Germany • Current news and upcoming events e.g. fact finding missions Company directory Search for possible business partners

4. Energy Transition made in Germany

5. 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

6. The Energiewendecombines security of supply, cost-effectiveness and environmental protection Environmentally sound Affordable and cost-effective Secure and reliable

7. The Energiewende enjoys wide support within the German population Yes Source: Ecofys based on IASS 2017 Social Sustainability Barometer, KfW Energiewendebarometer 2018 Do you support the Energiewende? 75% - The Energiewende is a joint task to which everyone in society must contribute 14% - I think that the Energiewende is a good thing, but I cannot or do not want to contribute much to it No I don’t know Participation of German households in Energiewende technologies (in %)

Energy efficiency has the potential for house owners and tenants to save energy and expenditures Source: BMWi 2015 Aim: To reduce primary energy demand in the buildings sector by around 80% by 2050 Means: Combine and update existing measures in a consistent strategy, e.g. incentivizing through financial support and coordination through building-specific renovation roadmaps

11. Target for 2050: an almostclimate-neutral building stock Central aim of the Federal Government: ensure that Germany's building stock is virtually climate-neutral by 2050 By 2020, renewables should account for 14 % of final energy consumption for heating and cooling Energy Efficiency Strategy for Buildings (18.11.15) key points of this strategy form integral part of the National Action Plan on Energy Efficiency (NAPE), which was adopted by the Federal Government on 3 December 2014. October 2019: Approval of tax incentives for energy-efficient building renovations by Cabinet
