Abstract

Germany is critical to the development of a common European Union (EU) energy policy. It is by far the largest energy user of the 27 Member States, accounting for approximately 18 percent of total energy consumption in the EU (BP 2010). It is also a substantial energy producer, ranking second in the production of coal (after Poland) and second in nuclear electricity generation (after France). Finally, Germany plays a crucial role by virtue of its central geographical location, which puts it in the middle of regional natural gas and electric power distribution networks.
