coal-fired power plant in Wilhelmshaven: The generation of greenhouse plants goes back. Photo: Neumann The energy transition in the electricity market in 2014, there were several positive developments, such as an analysis of the expert network “Agora energy transition” from Berlin shows. The most important of them:
- The renewable energy in the electricity mix vedrängen the years leading lignite and reach a share of 27.3% in electricity consumption.
- The power consumption is reduced by about 4%
- The greenhouse electricity from coal is dropped to the second lowest level since 1990.
- This has meant that the CO 2 emissions in the electricity sector declined significantly. Even in 2013 this had risen despite the expansion of renewable energies, because coal-fired plants more electricity generated.
According to Agora renewables displace the electricity market not only gas power plants, but now also coal. In contrast, lignite power plants produce at a high level. Another development: the current prices at the Leipzig Power Exchange fall to 3.3 cents per kilowatt hour (ct / kWh), a record low. Therefore, German electricity to neighboring countries is very attractive, the German power plant operators exported in 2014 almost 6% of the current. Another trend is the stop rising electricity prices. These developments on the electricity market, but also the first time falling EEG apportionment led.
As a particularly positive evaluates Agora that conventional power plants had to compensate less wind and solar plants, although these have significantly during the past year. This shows that a power system with a higher proportion of fluctuating power generation is manageable.
