Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) oversees the country's energy policy and supervises the energy sector.
The Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMU) is responsible for climate policies and the nuclear sector.
Energy Supply
Resources:
Germany has very limited hydrocarbon reserves which are on the decline (18 Mt of oil vs 28 Mt as of 2019, and more than 22 bcm of natural gas end of 2021). The shale gas potential is estimated by the Federal Institute for Geosciences (BGR) at between 320 bcm and 2 030 bcm. Germany's subsoil is rich in lignite, with reserves of nearly 36 Gt.
Energy Prices
Gas:
After a 2%/year decrease between 2013 and 2018, gas prices for households increased by 2.5%/year over 2019-2021. Prices in industry dropped by 11% in 2020 and then increased again by 13% in 2021.
Energy Consumption
Per capita consumption is 3.5 toe (2021). Per capita electricity consumption is 6 030 kWh.
In 2021, total energy consumption increased by nearly 4%, reaching 289 Mtoe, after a significant drop (-6%) in 2020. Previously, it decreased by 1.5%/year over 2016-2019.
