Hans-Josef Fell is a Member of the German Federal Parliament and Energy Policy Speaker for the German Greens. He wrote the draft Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) which was adopted in 2000 in the face of a strong political opposition.

The adoption of the EEG led directly to the successful German feed-in tariff policy. The EEG is the foundation for the technological developments in photovoltaics biogas wind power and geothermal energy in Germany which are admired throughout the world. The underlying principle of the EEG has now been copied in dozens of countries as well as most Australian states and territories.
