6. Fukushima nuclear accident accelerates
German phase-out: by 2022
Before Fukushima:
âą 17 NPP operating up to 2032
âą providing 22% of power (2010)
âą ~20 GW installed capacity
After Fukushima:
âą Immediate shutdown of 8 NPP
âą providing 18% of power (2011)
âą gradual phase-out by 2022 of
remaining 9 NPP

10. Economic success story:
Renewable energies are a job engine
The Green Political Foundation 10
17. Energy Cooperatives across the Country
âą By 2012 more than 800 energy coops
âą Advantage: Investment and risks are
broadly spread, limited liability
âą Example Bad Neustadt: Municipality
provided roof for solar pv system
âą Minimum participation of 2000âŹ,
~200 citizens involved
âą Result: 235,000 kWh electricity and
>5.5% profits per year

22. Conclusion: The German Energy TransitionâŠ
1. is an ambitious, but feasible undertaking.
2. is driven by communities, citizens and small investors.
3. will provide a competitive advantage for export
orientated German industry.
4. illustrates that fighting climate change and phasing
out nuclear power can be two sides of the same coin.
5. is affordable for Germany, and it will likely be even
more affordable for other countries.
