The Strategy for Renewable Energy 2012 - 2020

Five Strategic Goals 1. Progressively more renewable electricity from onshore and

offshore wind power for the domestic and export markets. 2. A sustainable bioenergy sector supporting renewable heat,

transport and power generation. 3. Green growth through research and development of

renewable technologies including the preparation for market of ocean technologies.

4. Increase sustainable energy use in the Transport sector through biofuels and electrification.

5. An intelligent, robust and cost efficient energy networks system.

The Market – Industrial Development & Export of electricity

Export of Renewable Electricity

The Irish Government, working together the UK Government, acknowledges the scale of the renewable energy resources of these islands and through the British Irish Council and other fora, are actively working to develop cross border trade in renewable energy initially between Ireland and the UK but also in time to mainland Europe.

Study of exporting renewable electricity Study on the viability and cost benefit analysis for Ireland of exporting renewable electricity using the co-operation mechanisms in Directive 2009/28/EC • Assumes Ireland meets its binding target domestically and monetises additional

RES-E production through exports • Assumes no additional burden on tax-payer or consumers to fund infrastructure • Projects are developed under Joint Project frameworks or statistical transfers

Hanstholm, the national test center for Wave

Common challenges like:

PTO systems Anchoring grid connections Component durability etc.

Corporation is needed to reach a break-though for wave energy

No strategy towards installed MW, but focus on MWh. Focus on development based in cost of energy analyses Motivate more corporation in the sector, and with other sectors Optimizing and evaluation of each scale before moving to next scale Minimize risks of failure in full scale

EVE (Ente Vasco de la Energía) is the energy agency of the Basque Government. Its mission is:

to propose energy strategies for the Basque Country, based on criteria of supply security, cost competitiveness, sustainability and technological development; and to take active part in developing these strategies and to contribute to delivering the related targets.

To deliver these objectives, EVE provides a service to the Basque Government Department of Industry, Innovation, Trade and Tourism in matters of energy and geological and mining resources and participates in projects, involving companies and public sector bodies. Furthermore, EVE raises public awareness of the criteria and values behind its strategies. EVE's capacity for action is rooted in the technical capacity, commitment and leadership of its people, and in efficient planning and management of its resources.
