No matter how much attention oil and natural gas sectors have been drawing in recent times renewable power generation continues to maintain significant attention from media circles and government programs

Once again US President Barack Obama called against climate change This time it was during his State of the Union speech In it he urged Congress to develop a market-based solution that would mitigate the impact of climate change If the Congress fails to act the White House will do so through executive actions

After hearing this I thought this wasnrsquot the first time this sort of legislative action has been considered A cap-and-trade system formed the cornerstone of several climate bills that have been reviewed by US Congress I couldnrsquot resist revisiting the last decade of such bills that have gone through Congress None of them can be referred to as a success as none of them has ever become law

bull S 843 Clean Air Planning Act of 2003 proposed a nation-wide cap-and-trade system to set up tonnage caps for nitrogen oxides sulfur dioxide mercury and carbon dioxide

bull HR 5049 Keep America Competitive Global Warming Policy Act of 2006 considered the introduction of a mandatory market-based cap for all large emitters with allowances trading mechanism The program permitted a ldquosafety valverdquo ($7 per ton of CO2) when the price can only increase if the President and Secretary of State certify that other countries are controlling their emissions

bull S 309 Global Warming Pollution Reduction Act allowed the EPA to determine the mandatory market-based system and aimed to bring CO2 emissions 80 below 1990 levels by 2050

bull S 280 Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act of 2007 called for a mandatory market-based cap for all large emitters resulting in a 60 emission reduction below 1990 levels by 2050

bull S 485 Global Warming Reduction Act of 2007 promised to freeze emissions in 2010 and to gradually reduce to 65 below the 2050 levels

bull S 1766 Low Carbon Economy Act of 2007 established a mandatory GHG allowance program to maintain emissions at approximately 2006 levels in 2020 1990 levels in 2030 and at least 60 below 1990 levels by 2050

bull S2191 Americarsquos Climate Security Act of 2007 aka the Lieberman-Warner bill which would have aligned US with the Kyoto goals by creating a national cap-and-trade scheme for greenhouse gas emissions where emitters would be allocated allowances The cap would get lower over time and in 2050 emissions would be reduced to 63 below 2005 levels

bull HR 2454 American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 also known as the Waxman-Markey Bill - was approved by the House on June 26th 2009 The bill proposed the introduction of a federal RPS and GHG cap-and-trade program calling for emissions reductions of 17 by 2020 with energy efficiency features

bull S 1733 Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act of 2009 the Kerry-Boxer Bill was proposed in the Senate as an alternative to HR 2454 The bill sought an emissions reduction of 20 by 2020

bull S2877 Carbon Limits and Energy for Americarsquos Renewal Act of 2009 introduced by Sens Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Susan Collins (R-ME) considered capping carbon dioxide emissions and allowing very limited emissions trading

bull A draft discussion American Power Act of 2010 by Sens John Kerry (D-MA) Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) proposed a cap-and-trade program on greenhouse gas emissions and called for reducing carbon pollution by over 80 in 2050

I may have missed out on a few bills from the list above In any event what will be of most interest now is to see is if the odds are high for this bill to be more successful than its predecessors this time round

21Back to Summary

In 2012 the German capacity of solar energy passed the 32 GW mark The impact on the market prices is noticeable summer prices go down peak prices go down especially midday and gas fired power generation plants have difficulty making money In this article we take a detailed look at how this is further going to shape future price levels Whereas the market trades baseload and peakload products we shift attention to the more detailed hourly price differences reflected in hourly price forward curves (HPFCs) For example we demonstrate that during day-time an increase in the share of renewable production by 10 percentage points reduces power prices by 66 During the night the impact of renewables is even larger

Solar and wind are the primary renewable energy sources for Germany at the moment They have zero or even negative marginal costs whatever the power price level the owners earn a guaranteed income (the feed-in tariff) and will always produce This means that the flexibility to the system has to come from other elsewhere the lsquoconventionalrsquo sources That is mostly coal- and gas fired production The easiest way to understand the impact of renewables on price levels is to study a supply-demand curve The supply curve or merit order is constructed by ranking the production plants from lowest to highest marginal costs With increasing capacities of renewables and depending on the weather conditions the supply curves move to the right This pushes the conventional sources out of the production and thereby lowers price levels For sure market participants are factoring the renewable energy boom into their price levels The forward spread between peakload and baseload used to be around 43 prior to 20092010 but has been around 20-25 in the past three years This is quite a dramatic development for owners of gas-fired generation And even for owners of pump hydro who were expecting to benefit from unpredictable patterns in supply times are difficult

Time-series graphs like the one shown in the previous chapter indicate that solar and wind generation have reduced power prices and peak prices in particular The market trades baseload and peakload but what is more difficult to assess is what future hourly price patterns will look like

In order to incorporate the growing share of renewables in the hourly shaping of the forward curve we need more precise methods than a graphical analysis In fact it is necessary to filter out the impact of other developments For example over the same time period of the German renewable boom the economy has slowed down And over the same time period fuel prices have swung up and down For this reason a simple time-series analysis on the absolute price levels will not be very accurate It is advisable to zoom in on small time intervals instead such that the lsquotruersquo renewable effect can be filtered out from other general trends In statistical terms it is best to take first differences in order to make the time-series stationary

We apply this logic to hourly price data for each hour h consisting ofbull Ph German hourly power prices in euroMWhbull Sh German solar production in GWh

HOW RENEWABLES SHAPE THE FUTURE

bull Wh German wind production in GWhbull Th German total production in GWh

The power prices are from the daily auction at Epex as quoted on EEX The production data are from a couple of sources

With these variables it is possible to define various equations that capture a possible relationship between hourly power prices and renewable production After some testing and common sense choices a well-fitting equation is the following

∆119901h=minus1199011∙119901hminus24minus1199012∙∆119901hminus1199013∙∆119901h+119901h

bull We take 24 hourly time-steps so look at the difference between hour 1 on day t to hour 1 on day t+1 from hour 2 on day t to hour 2 on day t+1 etc This makes the analysis insensitive for the general intra-day (hourly) differences The 24-hourly differences are denoted by the sign Δ

bull As primary dependent variable (left-hand side) the equation contains the change in the natural logarithm of the hourly power price This is denoted by Δph This price transformation corresponds with a merit order that has an exponential shape It also gave better results than a regression on absolute price differences Note that prices below 1 are set to 1 because otherwise the natural logarithm cannot be taken

bull As primary explanatory variables (right-hand side) the equation contains the change in the share of renewables in the total production mix (Δsh and Δwh) This normalizes the data and gave somewhat better results than taking the absolute production levels

bull An important control variable is the log price level from the previous day This control variable captures the mean-reverting behavior of power prices on a single day a price can be extraordinarily high but generally trends to more moderate levels afterwards It is part of almost any spot price analysis

bull As control variables the equation furthermore contains dummies for Saturdays and Sundays (including public holidays) This is mainly because power prices tend to be lower on those days than on working days For simplicity the dummies are not shown in the equation

bull We perform this regression separately for the first 8 hours of the day and the remaining 16 hours This is because the impact of renewables appeared to be stronger during the night than day most likely because then the demand is lower

bull Because the expected impact of all explanatory variables is negative the regression contains minus signs

All parameters of the equation are highly significantly different from zero with t-values all above 20 (note 2 indicates significance at 95 level) The high R-squared of 20-23 is another indicator that the data fits quite well to the specification The parameters can be interpreted as follows

bull During the night an increase in the share of wind production by 10 percentage points (eg from 15 to 25) reduces power prices by 166 (eg from 3000 to 2540 euroMWh)

bull During day-time and evening an increase in the share of either wind or solar production by 10 percentage points reduces power prices by 64-68 (eg from 6000 to 5618 euroMWh)

This information in itself is very interesting and can help traders to make better short-term price forecasts In addition we will take a more long-term view and assess how this price-renewable dependency affects the hourly price forward curve HPFC


23Back to Summary


Forward curve building means that the available forward market prices are transformed into a continuous and accurate curve For power the end result typically has hourly granularity The hourly shapes reflect likely differences between individual hourly power prices in the future For example between 000 and 400 in the night prices tend to be lower than between 0400 and 0800 even though both blocks are offpeak At the same time the curves have to stay arbitrage-free relative to the current market quotes the average of the HPFC over forward delivery periods are equal to the prices of the forward contracts

If renewable generation capacities were constant past historical price patterns would be representative for the future However the share of renewables is growing so typical hourly patterns in 2009 are already quite useless for predicting shapes in 2013 Using 2012 historical data would be better but would not give us enough data and still be quite wrong for later years As a solution it is possible to generate lsquonewrsquo histories of historical price data consistent with future levels of renewables

Market watchers expect renewable capacities in 2015 to be around twice as high as in 2010 It is possible to combine this information with the regression results we create a hypothetical hourly spot price that would have been observed in 2010 if the renewable capacities of 2015 had already been in place The new hypothetical prices are more spiky and can be used to shape the 2015 forward prices Based on data from 19 July 2010 when there was quite a lot of solar production midday the adjustment is shown in the next chart

On a day with relatively a lot of solar production prices during midday (1100-1700) are pushed down most This leads to different patterns in the forward curve In particular it is realistic to assume that the general trend of renewable generation growth is incorporated in the peak and baseload forward prices in the market A forward curve that is arbitrage-free will therefore especially exhibit lower prices during midday but higher prices in the morning hours (800-1100) and especially later in the afternoon (1700-2000) when demand is high and solar production low Because wind is more evenly distributed over the day more wind capacity has a relatively smaller influence on the hourly price forward curve

How this eventually works out on the hourly price forward curve is visible in the next graph showing an average working-day shape for 2018

In this paper we presented a hybrid approach for shaping forward curves our methodology combines fundamental information (about renewable production) with statistical analysis The numbers shown have been estimated with around three years of German market data We also tested with different time windows but parameters were remarkably stable Still it is difficult to say whether the price response to renewables will generally decrease or increase This will largely depend on policy decisions that try to keep enough flexibility in the power system in addition to an increase in (non-flexible) renewable capacity

Shaping the future

Conclusion


24Back to Summary

Hourly price forward curves form the basis of pricing any non-standard profile This can be a customer profile or eg the optimal production of a power station With a consistent implementation of renewables in the forward curve building process companies can price contracts and assets more accurately Of course inclusion of renewables in the forward curve building process is not the only important aspect However it is an important one and we hope this paper is a practical contribution of how this can be achieved

Editorial p 3

Once again US President Barack Obama called for a continued fight against climate change This time it was during his State of the Union speech In it he urged Congress to develop a market-based solution that would mitigate the impact of climate changehellip I couldnrsquot resist revisiting the last decade of such bills that have gone through Congress None of them has ever become law
