With its Energy Concept the German government has formulated guidelines for an environmentally sound, reliable and affordable energy supply. For the first time a road into the age of renewable energies was mapped. This provides long-term orientation while at the same time flexibility required for new technical and economic developments is preserved. The German Energy Strategy bases on four pillars: targets, measures, financing, monitoring.

In 2050 renewable energies will contribute the major share to the energy mix. Today, share is about 10%. On the path to achieving this, conventional energy sources will gradually be replaced by renewables in a dynamic energy mix.

The Federal Government has set itself an ambitious task: The transition to a new energy era and remaining a competitive business location. Therefore all stakeholders have to accept responsibility: Companies, policy-makers and citizens.
