The Deutsche Energie-Agentur GmbH (dena) – the German Energy Agency – is the centre of expertise for energy efficiency and renewable energy sources. It focuses on the development of sustainable energy systems which make optimum use of energy and integrate renewable energy sources. dena's mission is to generate economic growth and maintain prosperity with ever lower energy inputs. If this is to be achieved, energy must be generated and used in both a national and international context as efficiently, safely and economically as possible with the least possible impact on climate.
dena is developing energy efficiency and renewable energy markets in cooperation with stakeholders from the worlds of politics and business and from society at large. dena is working not only on consumption-side issues such as buildings, power and mobility, but also on issues of generation, networking and storage. dena encourages copybook projects, identifies and rewards pioneering work, advises politicians, manufacturers and service providers, cultivates opinion leaders, informs consumers, builds networks, evaluates technologies, analyses foreign markets and models future scenarios. dena primarily relies on market mechanisms and innovative energy services, backed up by appropriate regulatory policies and promotion programmes.
Due to the huge potential energy efficiencies involved, Russia is one of dena's key cooperation partners. This is why dena holds a 40 percent stake in the Russian-German Energy Agency (rudea) which was established in July 2009.
dena was established in the autumn of 2000 with its head office in Berlin. Shareholders in dena are the Federal Republic of Germany, KfW Bankengruppe, Allianz SE, Deutsche Bank AG and DZ BANK AG.
As a German limited company, dena’s work is performance-based and cost-effective. It finances its projects primarily by means of Public Private Partnerships (PPP).
