Renewable Energies

Application and development of renewable energies

Erneuerbare Energien

Germany favours the sun, wind and water: Kyoto Protocol, reliability of supply and energy imports are only three of the catchwords used to describe an energy strategy which is based on the consistent development of renewable energies, hence the contribution of these to Germany’s electricity supply is to be increased to at least 30 per cent by the year 2020.

dena brings renewables to the market

In an international comparison, “renewables –Made in Germany” are among the best in the world, yet their share in the world market is comparatively low. dena helps German companies to enter interesting export markets with a range of activities under the scope of the Renewable Energies Export Initiative, whose motto is “Export steigern – Zukunft sichern”, or Increasing exports – Securing the future. All renewable energy sources play a role: The wind, hydraulic power, geothermal energy, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar thermal power stations, biogas, solid biomass and biofuels. dena also advises politicians and the industry in the planning and realization of a sustainable, integrated power supply for Europe using renewable energy technologies.

Main projects

Renewable Energies Export Initiative Page

Export steigern – Zukunft sichern. This slogan, which means "Increasing exports – Securing the future", is the motto used by dena for the support provided under the scope of the Renewable Energies Export Initiative to German companies from the renewables industry, both in opening up foreign markets and in their export activities.

Grid Study II Page

dena Grid Study II is developing a long-term plan for the integration of renewable energies, and particularly wind energy, into the German power grid. For this, it will be necessary to look relatively far into the future, as novel technical solutions will be required for optimum integration.

Wind Power

Offshore Wind Competence Centre Page

Wind energy will play an important role in the energy mix of the future. dena publishes the latest information on offshore wind energy, including the size and location of offshore wind parks, news flashes, events and selected topics, on offshore-wind.de.
