Mid-year figures show a growth-rate  in excess of 6.3% from 2015 to 2016. From 2012 to 2016 the market has  experienced an annual growth (CAGR) of 14.3%.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Germany&rsquo;s &ldquo;market dominance&rdquo; may be threatened. Germany is the  largest single national market for renewable power consumption, but for  the first time, its impressive yearly growth seems to have slowed down.  Renewable purchases of 65 TWh during the first half of 2016, represents a  decline of 5% compared to same period in 2015<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Italy, France and Finland are examples of countries that have  markets growing faster than Germany. This development is positive &ndash;  contributing to an even more stable and robust marketplace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Both Sweden and Switzerland have large and stable markets for renewable purchases. This remains unchanged.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Spain is the wildcard of 2016. As the 4<sup>th<\/sup> largest  renewable producer in Europe, Spain will finally join the European  marketplace for renewables &ndash; likely during Q3 this year. With 70 TWh of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">national<\/span> Guarantees of Origin available, it remains to be seen how Spain&rsquo;s entrance will impact the market balance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The United Kingdom is now the only remaining large renewable  producer not actively participating in the European market. With Brexit  questions looming &ndash; the outlook for UK membership in AIB does seems less  likely than it was a year ago.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The AIB statistics only include Guarantees of Origin based on the  EECS standard. EECS Guarantees of Origin are tradable across national  borders among countries that have joined AIB and that are connected to  AIB&rsquo;s electronic hub.<\/p>\n<p>There are still European markets with national renewable certificate  systems that have yet to adopt the EECS standard (incl. the  above-mentioned Spain and UK), and that do not participate in the  Pan-European market place. These markets total more than 200 TWh of  purchased renewable power &ndash; thus pushing the actual market volume  renewable beyond 550 TWh for 2015. This means that 50% of all renewable  power production in Europe is documented with renewable energy  certificates.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>The above is a commentary based on figures published by AIB.<\/em><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"green\">Source<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecohz.com\/press-releases\/germanys-dominant-position-challenged-as-renewable-demand-continues-to-grow-in-europe-in-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ECOHZ 2016<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"shariff shariff-align-left shariff-widget-align-left\"><div class=\"ShariffHeadline\">Diese Meldung teilen<\/div><ul class=\"shariff-buttons theme-round orientation-horizontal buttonsize-medium\"><li class=\"shariff-button facebook shariff-nocustomcolor\" style=\"background-color:#4273c8;border-radius:1%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sonnenseite.com%2Fen%2Ffuture%2Fgermanys-dominant-position-challenged-as-renewable-demand-continues-to-grow-in-europe-in-2016%2F\" title=\"Bei Facebook teilen\" aria-label=\"Bei Facebook teilen\" role=\"button\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"shariff-link\" style=\";border-radius:1%;
