plants by 2022 and to increase the renewable share to 80 percent within
2050. Although being a non-renewable energy resource, natural gas is given
an important role in the European energy mix, replacing charcoal and as a
balancing power to renewable such as wind and solar. However, it is important
to discuss both the security of demand – that is the European and German
market for natural gas and its position in the energy mix, as well as the
security of supply. How can Norway provide security of supply?

10.00 Coffee Break
10.30 Panel 1: Energiewende – The German Energy Revolution
Germany’s energy system is going through radical changes. Closing down
nuclear power plants while increasing the share of renewable energies,
leads to major challenges in the field of energy supply. Germany’s goals are
ambitious: Within 2050, the green house gas emissions are to be reduced by
80 percent compared to 1990. Further, 80 percent of the power used is to come
from renewable energy resources. In this first panel, we will get an overview
of the German energy revolution, including advantages and challenges. One
important issue is how the established energy companies such as E.ON, RWE
and Stadtwerke München are adjusting to the new system.

Discussion
14.30 Coffee Break
15.00 Panel 3: Maximizing renewable energy production
The need for balancing power
Wind and solar energy are inconsistent energy resources, leading to a need
for balancing power when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun doesn’t shine.
In this panel, we will see how Norwegian hydro power can be one solution, as
Germany’s green battery. In 2018, the new interconnector between Germany
and Norway is expected to be finished, opening for new opportunities and
strengthening the supply security in both countries.

Bringing Energy to Europe
A changing Europe
Sweeping changes in the energy sector are currently underway on the European
continent. Germany is phasing out nuclear power while investing heavily in
renewable energy, making the future energy mix uncertain. What we do know,
however, is that natural gas is going to play a crucial role during the next
decades – a fact also acknowledged in the EU’s Energy Roadmap 2050.
The shareholding companies of Bayerngas Norge are energy companies
located in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. They invest heavily in Norway
for three reasons: First, they wish to participate in the entire value chain,
thus becoming more independent. Second, they know that the Norwegian gas supply is both stable and secure. Third, they want to reduce
Germany’s dependence on Russian gas.
Norwegian access to the German energy market is strengthened
through gas produced by Bayerngas Norge. We are one of the fastestgrowing oil and gas companies on the Norwegian shelf. Today, we
have an average daily production of more than 15,000 barrels of oil
equivalents.
Bayerngas Norge is ambitious, has a long-term perspective and a clear
mission:
Bringing Energy to Europe
• Bayerngas Norge is an independent petroleum company with offices in
Oslo, and operations on the Norwegian, Danish and British continental
shelves.
• Today Bayerngas Norge produces from five fields, with an average
daily production of more than 15,000 barrels of oil equivalents
resulting in an annual turnover of close to 3 billion NOK.
• Bayerngas has 80 highly-qualified employees and is owned by
municipal energy companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
• Bayerngas is an operator on the Norwegian continental shelf and
A good climate with natural gas
For more than 20 years, we have enjoyed close ties with our Norwegian trading partners. In future
too, we will be expanding the German-Norwegian natural gas partnership so that natural gas
from Norway can be used for climate-friendly energy supplies in the long term. Apart from its role
as a natural gas importer, VNG AG makes a significant contribution through its participation in
natural gas exploration and production on the Norwegian Continental Shelf via our subsidiary
VNG Norge AS. In addition, we support dialogue between the two countries in education and
research as well as in the field of art and culture.

Betreff: Grüner Strom
Wenn Strom immer grüner wird,
kann sich das dann noch jeder leisten?
Hallo Frau Neuner, wir arbeiten
daran, dass Erneuerbare Energie
bezahlbar bleibt.
Unsere Energie soll sauberer und immer besser werden. Ein
Beispiel: Bereits seit 2001 bauen wir Hochsee-Windparks. Durch
unsere Erfahrung können wir Prozesse und Verfahren beim Bau
und Betrieb immer weiter verbessern. Damit senken wir die
Kosten schon jetzt nachhaltig. Unser Ziel: die Baukosten halbieren.
