The document discusses how renewable energy can solve political challenges associated with fossil fuels and nuclear energy such as global warming, energy security issues, and environmental disasters. It highlights Germany's success in expanding renewable energy through policy support like feed-in tariffs. Renewables now provide over 30% of Germany's electricity and energy costs for industry have declined as renewables have increased. Studies show solar and wind will be the cheapest energy sources in most G20 countries by 2030. The document advocates for policies that promote grid access, long-term fixed feed-in tariffs, and investment in technologies like storage to balance intermittent renewables.

Political challenges
 Global warming
 Peak oil, energy security
 Nuclear and environmental disasters
 Oil wars, poverty, economic crises
All these challenges are connected with
fossil and nuclear energies
Renewables will solve these problems

Key points for an effective Renewable Energy
Act (Feed-in Law; EEG)
 Privileged grid access/priority dispatch
 Feed-in tariff has to be appropriate for economic
operation, with variations depending on technology
and size
 Funding of feed-in tariff via electricity rate
 No cap for feed-in of renewable energies
 Guaranteed period of remuneration
 Tenders below 40 MW do not make for a successful
policy as they strongly restrict the plurality of actors*
 Also: No obstructions by a restrictive permission
policy

GET FiT
 GET FiT is the abbreviation of Global Energy Transfer
Feed-in Tariffs for developing countries
 It is a concept for facilitating private sector
investments in renewable energies in developing
countries
• Grants are used to supplement the existing FiT mechanism
for the first five years
 First project in Uganda (launch in 2013):
 Ukraine could ask for GET FiT financed by EU

Balance of solar and wind power fluctuations
 Flexibility in power generation
•Hydro, biogas, geothermal power must produce
dispatchable power for system security
 Flexibility of power demand
•Consumers must balance their demand for power
 Storage investment
•Hydro pump storage, batteries, hydrogen and
synthetic methane from renewable power
 Grid investment: Low and high voltage
•Expansion on distribution and transmission level

Feed-in tariff for combined renewable power
producer
• Tariff is paid for per law if:
• Power generation meets demand each hour of the year
• Mix of 100% renewable power generation
• Frequency and voltage stability, reactive power is
guaranteed
• Effects:
• Grid stability is growing, decentralised bottom-up approach
• Integration of heating/cooling and electro-mobility
• Development of storage technology
• Emergence of smart cities

Double pitfall for fossil/nuclear business
 Rising oil/gas/coal/uranium prices
•Energy consumers switch to renewables
 Declining oil/gas/coal/uranium prices
•Financers stop investing
•State budget on the way to bankruptcy
 Both leads to economic pressure for
fossil/nuclear companies
 $3.4 trillion fossil fuel assets are flagged for
divestment by more than 500 institutions and
2,040 individuals from 43 countries
