Energy efficiency trends and policies in Germany

This report is dedicated to the development of energy efficiency indicators in Germany between 2000 and 2013. It analyses the main trends in energy consumption and energy efficiency since 2000 based on data and indicators from the ODYSSEE database. The report also gives an overview of the main national energy efficiency policies in Germany by sector. The main focus is on the policies which were reported by the Member States in the 3rd National Energy Efficiency Action Plans (NEEAP) under the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and on the new energy efficiency polices which were decided by the German Government in the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NAPE) from December 2014.
