Political reforms for a successful transformation of the energy system We need a redesigned energy market, which assigns value to retaining conventional power station capacity. This is a matter of security of supply. We need a reformed Renewable Energy Sources Act to ensure that energy for industry and households remains affordable. Energy must not become a luxury good for the privileged few. We need ambitious climate protection measures, including a strong European emissions trading law with a CO 2 -reduction target to be implemented by 2030. Page 16
Outlook for 2014 we have a difficult path ahead of us We are expecting our performance to decline significantly again in 2014 We are working to achieve the objectives of our RWE 2015 programme Page 17
