Rainer Hinrichs-Rahlwes is the President of EREC, the European
Renewable Energy Council, the umbrella organization of European
renewable energy industry, trade and research associations. And he is
the President of EREC’s member Association EREF, the European
Renewable Energies Federation, the voice of independent producers of
energy from renewable sources. He is a Board Member of the German
Renewable Energy Federation (BEE). He is BEE’s Spokesperson
European and international affairs, and he is the Chairman of BEE’s
related working group. From November 1998 to December 2005, he was

-22% of energy related CO2 emissions

Investing in Renewable Energy:
Financial transactions/investments were €55 billion (2008) and
€62 billion (2009)
and according to GSR 2012: USD 101 billion (i.e. €80 billion) in
2011, up 10% from 2010.

New renewable energy investments
In 2010 developing countries
overtook for the first time developed
countries in terms on new RES
investments (reversed in 2011
despite continued growth)

After several years of
increases, developing countries
saw their relative share of total
global investment slip back in
2011

Recent negative developments in EU27
Examples:
 Stopping biofuels blending after only recently having
introduced it

 A moratorium on support for new RES production, which Spain,
has an obvious direct & crushing impact on local RES Portugal,
investment Czech
Republic,
Estonia…
 Retroactive changes: i.e. Modifications of FiT for existing
installations without producers’ consent, cutting expected
returns to investors significantly
