德国能源政策是根据其自身能源利用的特点、国际能源市场的供应以及气候保护议题而制定的。2010~2011年德国能源政策发生深刻变化，联邦政府做出退出核能、进行“能源转向”的重大决定。进一步大力推进可再生能源的利用和技术研究成为德国能源政策的重点之一。除了欧盟能源政策，德国自身的环保意识和政治决策特点对德国能源政策的影响也十分显著。欧债危机和国内的财政现状成为现阶段影响德国新能源政策贯彻实施及目标实现的重要因素。由于能源利用及供应与气候问题有着直接、密切的相关性，“能源转向”将成为影响德国及欧盟制定气候政策的重要因素。
German energy policy is in accordance with the characteristics of its own energy use and with the international energy market supply as well as climate protection issues.German energy policy saw profound changes in 2010/2011 with an "energy turn" decision that decided to phase out nuclear power.Moreover,the decision vigorously promotes renewable energy use and technological research,one of the priorities of the German energy policy.In addition to the EU energy policy,Germany's own environmental awareness and political decision-making characteristics influence significantly the German energy policy.The European debt crisis and the financial situation at this stage are becoming very important factors for the implementation and realization of the new German energy policy.Because of the direct relationship between energy use,supply and climate problems,the "energy turn" will influence the development of Germany and the EU climate policy in the future.
