Under this scheme renewable energy systems are compensated by utility companies under the feed-in tariffs for 20 years, thereby guaranteeing investor security. Many EU member states, governments, including Taiwan, have used this Act as a blue print for their renewable energy policy.

Following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in March 2011, another key decision for renewable energies was taken in June of the same year with the aim to shut down Germany's nuclear capability by 2022 and to replace it with renewable energies. In 2015 Germany has underscored the success of its policies and financing schemes by delivering one-third of its electricity demand from renewable energy.Financing by banks and institutions is certainly another crucial factor to the success for developing renewable energy. We are honored to have high ranking German representatives from KfW IPEX, a state-owned development bank, speaking at this seminar and to provide governors, financiers and other relevant sectors with KfW's practical experiences on wind power finance. This will be followed by speeches from wpd, one of Germany's leading onshore and offshore wind power developer.
