RGI  Workshop  –  Understanding  the  Grid  –    Sustainable  System  Integra?on  of  Renewable  Energies  17  October  2011  in  Berlin  

•  Consultation § 12 EnWG by BNetzA

•  Scenarios copy pasted from a Working Group @ BMWi headed by dena

•  Very little explanation and context

•  Over 80 written assessments of Scenarios

•  Two main aspects: -  Likely developments -  Climate and energy policy goals of German Government

taken into account

•  Avoid Mistakes of dena II study

BNetzA Consultation Scenarios 2022 and 2032: How serious are we about transparency?

•  Decarbonisation is not (yet) at the center of process: -  Planning / calibration -  Engineering -  Authorization -  Regulator -  Cost acknowledgment + + = ? -  TSO -  ENTSO-E -  ACER

•  Outcome is unlikely to be sustainable

Deacrbonisation along the value chain ?
