Highlights

  • Germany intends to increase the share of renewables in final consumption to 30% in 2030.
  • It aims to reduce GHG emissions by 65% in 2030 and to reach carbon neutrality by 2045.
  • All nuclear plants will be shut down in 2022 and the phase out of coal and lignite will be advanced to 2030.
  • The energy market is concentrating: in 2019, RWE and E.ON swapped assets and the two largest oil producers, Wintershall and DEA, merged.
  • The wind and solar capacity reached 116 GW at the end of 2020.
  • The share of renewables in the power mix has increased by 27 points since 2010 to 46% in 2020, while the share of coal and lignite has dropped by 17 points since 2016 with around 8 GW shut down.
  • The average electricity price for households is more than twice as high as the industrial price and 40% above the EU average.
  • Total energy consumption decreased by 1.2%/year over 2016-2019 and by 6% in 2020. The share of renewables is growing rapidly (16% in 2020, up from 9% in 2010), while that of coal and lignite has dropped by 7 points since 2018.
  • Interconnection and transmission projects attract a large part of the investments.
  • Wind represents most of the new power capacity.
  • Two LNG import plants are planned.

Abstract

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) oversees the country's energy policy and supervises the energy sector.

    The Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMU) is responsible for the climate policies and the nuclear sector.

  • Energy Supply

    Gas:

    Gas production has been divided by 3 since 2010, from 15 bcm to 5.6 bcm in 2020, corresponding to around 6% of the demand.

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    Gasoline and diesel prices are mainly driven by international crude oil prices and are in line with EU averages: in 2020 prices decreased by 2% on average, after remaining stable in 2019. Previously, gasoline and diesel prices increased by 12% and 20%, respectively, between 2016 and 2018.

  • Energy Consumption

    Per capita consumption is 3.3 toe (2020). Per capita electricity consumption is 5 850 kWh.

    Germany is the largest energy consumer in Europe. Total consumption decreased by 1.2%/year between 2016-2019, with a significant drop (-6%) to 275 Mtoe in 2020.

  • Issues & Prospects

    Electricity:

    According to the German Federal Ministry of Economics, electricity consumption is expected to increase by 11% over 2018-2030 to 658 TWh.

    The new EEG 2021 targets increasing solar PV capacity to 100 GW (from 54 GW in 2020), onshore wind to 71 GW (55 GW today), offshore wind to 20 GW (8 GW today), and biomass to 8.4 GW by 2030.
