Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG)

The Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) is a German law designed to promote the use of renewable energy, such as wind, solar, and biomass. It aims to increase the share of green energy in the national power supply by providing financial incentives to producers. This includes guaranteed payments for renewable energy generated and fed into the grid. The EEG supports the transition to a more sustainable energy system, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and helping Germany meet its climate goals. It plays a key role in fostering a cleaner and more diversified energy landscape.
