As part of a project to structure the energy law, Ecologic Institute contributed to concluding recommendations on the "Improved disclosure of subsidised renewable energy quantities and general electricity disclosure in Germany". The recommendations include general recommendations for the further development of accounting instruments of electricity disclosure, measures to improve the disclosure of supported electricity from renewable sources, additional measures on the format and content of electricity disclosure, and monitoring.

For the BMWi, Ecologic Institute, together with the Stiftung Umweltenergierecht, the Öko-Institut, and the law firm Becker Büttner Held, conducted the project "Analysis and Structuring of the Comprehensive Energy Law for the Electricity Sector" from 2015 to 2020 to develop proposals for an improved structure and consistency of energy law in the electricity sector in order to increase the comprehensibility and transparency of the legal framework.

The main focus of this project was to improve the consistency and comprehensibility of the energy law in general and the law on electricity labeling in particular. As project deliverables, the project team produced a series of papers on both areas.

The recommendations have been published on the website of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) and can be downloaded here.

Further publications on the law of electricity labeling can be found at Oeko-Institut's website.

Final recommendations of the project for the analysis and structuring of the overarching energy law (electricity) on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi)
