The Deutsche Energie-Agentur GmbH (dena) – the German Energy Agency – is the competence centre for energy efficiency and renewable energies.

Its many objectives include the rational and thus environmentally friendly production, conversion and use of energy, and the development of sustainable energy systems with a greater emphasis on renewable energy sources.

To this end dena initiates, coordinates and implements innovative projects and campaigns at a national and international level. It provides information to end consumers, works with all social groups active in politics and the economy and develops strategies for the future supply of energy. Its shareholders are the Federal Republic of Germany, the KfW Bankengruppe (KfW banking group), Allianz SE, Deutsche Bank AG and DZ BANK AG.

As a German limited company, dena’s work is performance-based and cost-effective. It finances its projects primarily by means of Public Private Partnerships (PPP).
