The National Renewable Energy Action Plan
The National Renewable Energy Action Plan approved by the Federal Cabinet on
4 August 2010 in accordance with Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of energy
from renewable sources indicates, among other things, the development path
which the German government expects renewable energy to take up to the year
2020. The first progress report will be submitted to the European Commission at
the end of this year. A first estimate of the percentage of gross final energy consumption
accounted for by renewable energy sources indicates that the expected
development was maintained.
Last year, in the course of transposing EU Directive 2009/28/EC into national law, the Member
States submitted their National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAP) with measures and expansion
paths for achieving the binding national targets. The German government assumes
that Germany will achieve the 18 % target for renewable energy as a percentage of gross final
energy consumption in 2020, and expects that it will actually exceed this figure with 19.6 %.
The percentage of electricity due to renewable energy sources in 2020 is put at 38.5 %.
At the end of this year the Member States must submit to the European Commission their
first progress report (subsequently every two years) on the situation with regard to national
development of renewable energy. A first provisional estimate on the basis of the available
statistical data, calculated using the method in the EU Directive, yielded a figure of 10.5 %
for renewable energy as a percentage of gross final energy consumption in 2010. This shows
that Germany is on course for the development path described in the NREAP, or might possibly
slightly exceed it. The NREAP worked on the basis of 10.1 %.
On the basis of updated data, the percentages of gross final energy consumption due to renewable
energy in 2009 and 2010 will be communicated to the European Commission on
31 December 2011 in the German government’s First Progress Report.

In view of special rules, the
results obtained with this
method are not comparable
with the data on national
development (see p. 9 ff.).
