 Introduction
• Germany has been a democratic parliamentary federal republic since 1949.
Following reunification in 1990 it now consists of 16 federal states. The
Federal President is the head of state and the government is led by the
Federal Chancellor.
• Germany covers an area of 348,520 square kilometers. It is 876 kilometres
from its northernmost tip to the southernmost point as the crow flies, and
640 kilometers from east to west.
• The capital Berlin is also Germany's largest city, with a population of 3.4
million. Other cities with more than one million residents are Hamburg (1.8
million) and Munich (1.3 million). Cologne is just below the one-million
mark. Frankfurt am Main (pop. 662,000) is a center of international
finance.
• Germany has the largest population of any
European country, around 80 million – a
density of 231 people per square kilometer.
• Germany population is equivalent to 1.07%
of the total world population.
• Germany ranks number 18 in the list of
countries (and dependencies) by
population.
 Location
Germany shares borders with nine European countries:
Denmark in the north, Poland and the Czech Republic in
the east, Switzerland and Austria in the south, France in the
southwest and Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands
in the west.

ECONOMICAL OBYECTIVES
As Germany's attitude to nuclear energy became ambivalent, policies
were adopted to promote renewable sources, notably solar and wind, though
Germany is not well placed geographically in relation to either. Such policies are
primarily to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. By 2020 it is planned that wind
and solar renewables should contribute 20% of electricity supplies, compared
with 11% at present (7.5% wind, 4.5% solar). Due to the feed-in tariffs of the
Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG – Erneuerbare Energien Gesetz) passed in
2000, wind power has become the most important renewable source of
electricity production in Germany. From 12,000 MWe in 2002, at the end of
2015, 44.9 GWe of wind capacity was installed, 32% of EU total, according to
the Global Wind Energy Council. Solar PV capacity was about 40 GWe in 2015.
Of the total 647.1 TWh gross generation in 2015, wind provided 86.0 TWh
(13.3%) and solar 39.5 TWh (5.9%).
CONCLUSION
• Germany until March 2011 obtained one-quarter of its electricity from nuclear energy,
using 17 reactors. The figure is now about 14% from eight reactors, while 43% of electricity comes
from coal, the majority of that from lignite.
• A coalition government formed after the 1998 federal elections had the phasing out of
nuclear energy as a feature of its policy. With a new government in 2009, the phase-out was
cancelled, but then reintroduced in 2011, with eight reactors shut down immediately.
• Public opinion in Germany remains broadly opposed to nuclear power with virtually no
support for building new nuclear plants.
• Almost half of Germany’s electricity is generated from coal, and there are no plans to
phase this out.
• Germany has some of the lowest wholesale electricity prices in Europe and some of the
highest retail prices, due to its energy policies. Taxes and surcharges account for more than half the
domestic electricity price.
