The German Renewable Energy Act (German: Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz, EEG) was designed to encourage cost reductions based on improved energy efficiency from economies of scale over time. The Act came into force in the year 2000 and was the initial spark of a tremendous boost of renewable energies in Germany. == Brief facts == In the first half of 2014, 28.5% of Germany's electricity was produced from renewable sources〔German Energy Blog ( ''BDEW: Renewables Account for Record 28.5% of Gross German Electricity Consumption in First Half of 2014'' )〕 (up from 23.4% in 2013). In 2012, 10.2% of heat and 5.7% of fuel used in Germany was generated from renewable sources Due to the use of renewable energies, 145 million metric tons of CO2 emissions were avoided during 2012.〔(26 )〕 The renewable energy industry employed 377,000 people in 2012, up from 30,000 people in 1998. Of these jobs, 268,000 exist as a direct result of the German Renewable Energy Act.〔(32 )〕 Germany is third after China and the U.S., the world’s top renewable energy economies, as measured by investment in the renewable energy sector.〔(84 )〕 Due to its success, the German Renewable Energy Act can serve as an archetype of similar legislation in other countries. The 2014 EEG award went to Eurosolar for their memorandum during the debate about changes to German energy policy, concerning off-shore Wind Power.〔Eurosolar's Analysis (''MEMORANDUM of the basic points necessary for EEG amendment'' )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「German Renewable Energy Act」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
