Characteristics of RES – Policy background

Characterization of currently applied policy measures in the EU:

- 19 Member States apply Feed-In Tariffs in the electricity sector- 6 Member States apply a quota system- The heat sector is mostly dominated by investment incentives

Characteristics of RES – Identification of risks

Risk of RES technologies:

• Hydro: Changing utilisation

• Wind: Impact of storms• Biomass: Change in BM-Potential

• Development of cost reduction

• Raw material prices (e.g. steel, silicon)

• Electricity generation costs

• CSP from North Africa• Biomass imports (transport distance, state of aggregation)

• Biomass availability and prices

• Harvesting season

Long-term impacts Operational impacts

EconomicClimate change impacts

Feedstock competition

Import dependency

• Wind in particular on short-term(Remedies: Back-up capacity; Grid reinforcement; DSM)

• Solar (comparatively good correlation of peak load and demand)

• Hydro (Inter-annual variability)

Variability of RES-output

• Geothermal (Hot-Dry-Rock and Earthquakes �Basel)

Technological risks

Others

• Political factors hampering RES-development (Non-economic barriers, policy uncertainty)

Political risks

Identification of risks – The Spanish case

Situation:•High share of CCGT

•High share of RES, in particular hydropower and wind

•Legal differentiation between large centralised and small decentralised power plants (Ordinary Regime vs. Special Regime)

•Phasing-out of nuclear power plants foreseen after end of lifetime is achieved

Characteristics of RES – Identification of opportuni ties

Opportunity to increase Security of Supply due to RES:

� Estimation of the future contribution of RES to increasing Security of Supply in the EU by means of scenario analysis with Green-X

• Reduction of import dependency

• Location closed to demand � Less infrastructure risk

• Reduced impact on electricity system in case of shutdowns

• Reduction of price risks induced by fossil fuel prices

• Price effect of wind power feed-in

• Diversification of power plant portfolio

Decentralised character

Mainly indigenous resources

No fuel cost (except BM) Portfolio effect

The core objective of the project Green-X was to develop a computer model allowing an assessment of

the future deployment of RES in the ‘real world’.

Derived objectives are:

to describe the potential & the accompanying cost of the various RES-E options in a brief and suitable manner for

model implementation;

to model the impact of policy instruments;

to address dynamic aspects in a proper way, including:

− Future technological changes – e.g. a reduction of investment costs or efficiency improvements

due to technological learning

− Technology diffusion – i.e. the impact of non-economic barriers for RES-E

… to derive a picture of a likely future as close as possible to reality …

Energy demands for all scenarios are taken from the POLES scenarios, but had to be adjusted(reduced) due to statistical accounting methodologies in order to consider the European Directive of 20% RES in 2020 on gross final energy demand correctly!

Barriers (non-economic)

Definition of potential terms

Theoretical potential ... based on the determination of the energy flow.

Technical potential … based on technical boundary conditions (i.e. efficiencies of conversion technologies, overall technical

limitations as e.g. the available land area to install wind turbines)

Realisable potential …

The realisable potential represents the maximal

achievable potential assuming that all existing barriers can be overcome and all driving forces are

active. Thereby, general

parameters as e.g. market growth rates, planning

constraints are taken into account in a dynamic context

– i.e. the realisable potential has to refer to a

certain year.

Three main policy storylines have been investigated:

►Muddling through: Global Baseline RES development

►Europe Alone: Alternative RES development within Europe and baseline RES development in the RoW

►Global Regime: Alternative RES development on global scale

Strengthened national policy: Accelerated RES deployment, assuming that the European RES policy framework will be improved with respect to its efficiency & effectiveness (i.e. strengthened national RES support incl. flexibility mechanism for 2020 national RES target fulfillment). These changes will become effective by 2011 in order to meet the agreed target of 20% RES by 2020 and the ambition is continued beyond 2020. Improvements refer to both the financial support conditions (if necessary) as well as to non-financial barriers (i. e. administrative deficiencies etc.) where a rapid removal is also preconditioned.

With respect to the Global Regime, sensitivity runs are carried out, highlighting the importance of efficient policy measures to be implemented. Consequently technology specific premium tariffs are considered as well as quota systems based on technology neutral Tradable Green Certificates schemes

Due to higher CO2 constraints for Europe, electricity wholesale prices in the Europe Alone scenario are higher and hence a stronger RES-E contribution is expected than at global common

CO2 constraints

Policy sensitivity – Different policy support measur es

Less RES generation in the electricity sector at technology neutral support measures , leading to fail the 20% RES by 2020 target, regardless the maximum certificate price. Strong deviations in

2020 and especially strong beyond 2020

• Strengthened national policy: National policy implementation in order to meet the 20% RES target

• Harmonized premium feed-in tariff: Common premium on top of the electricity wholesale price in order to meet the 20% RES target

• Quota system based on technology neutral, tradable green certificates:Quantity driven with a maximum price on top of the electricity wholesale price

Costs of enhanced RES deployment

Only moderate increases are expected in the Business as Usual case

A tripling of investments is expected within the next 10 years in order to meet the target ->Need for efficient and effective policy measures to limit consumer expenditures

Less investments have to be taken beyond 2020 due to learning effects and decreased costs

Tripling the investments only leads to less than a doubling of policy costs

Sensitivity cases :Costs of enhanced RES deployment according to the different policy options

Only technology specific support options meet the 20% RES in 2020 target (left figures)

Nevertheless, technology specific options result in lower consumer expenditures due to enhanced RES support

Increasing the limit of certificate prices hardly increases the RES generation but tremendously increase the policy costs, hence the consumer expenditures

Business as Usual fails to meet the target at high consumer costs

Strengthened national policy options meet the target at only moderately higher consumer costs

Technology specific support is deeply recommended in order to increase ambitious shares of RES and avoid big producer surpluses causing higher consumer expenditures and less social acceptance of RES

Conclusions – General implications for security of ene rgy supply

• An increased use of RES in the electricity, transport and the heating sector may contribute considerably to decreasing import dependency

• Additional benefits of RES with regard to the achievement of climate change targets

• But: Decrease in import dependency involves certain transfer costs for society

• Economic risk: competitiveness of RES is expected to improve in the future

• Other threads resulting from the specific character of RES (variable power output) seem to be still manageable � May require certain changes in system operation and infrastructure
