European Union ‘20:20:20’ energy and environment package

• 20% reduction in EU greenhouse gas emissions, as compared with 1990

levels, or 30% if other nations, specifically the U.S., China and India agree to

similar action

• 20% of all energy consumed to come from renewable energy (including

electricity, heat and transport)

– Binding minimum target for each member state to achieve at least 10% of

their transport fuel consumption from biofuels, with certain caveats such

that the binding character of this target is ‘subject to production being

sustainable’ and to ‘second-generation’ biofuels becoming commercially

available

• 20% increase in energy efficiency

The Directive on Renewable Energy (RES Directive proposal)

• Sets mandatory national targets for the overall share of energy

from renewable sources in energy consumption: overall EU target of

20% in 2020

– And suggests an indicative trajectory to meet these targets

• Require national action plans

• Sets a mandatory target of 10% for the share of energy from

renewable sources in transport by 2020 (”biofuel” target)

– Establishes environmental sustainability criteria for biofuels and

other bioliquids

• Standardizes guarantees of origin (GO), certifying the renewable

origin of electricity, heat and cooling

– Enables transfer of GOs to provide flexibility between MS’s

• Requires reduction of barriers:

– Administrative, regulatory, information and improves renewables’

access to the electricity grid

•Compulsory?

Main challenges

Existing supply chain may need to grow at compound

annual rate to meet demand for renewable assets and

supporting infrastructure

Commission estimates of renewable resource very reliant

on untapped biomass, biogas and biofuel potential

Commission estimates of compliance costs assume a lot

of cost-effective renewable heat can be developed

Agreement on trading mechanisms may be difficult to

achieve

•Increasing compliance costs for some MS significantly

Is non-compliance a viable option?

Existing support mechanisms inadequate to meet the

target deliver the targets

What the 20% by 2020 renewables target represents for the EU

• By 2020, under a BAU situation renewable

energy supply (RES) is expected to account for

around 12% of EU final energy demand

• Use of renewable energy needs to increase by

67% above BAU growth

Certificates

• Support level for different fuels and technologies also vary within countries. In feed-in systems, the technology choice is made by politicians, whereas in the certificate system the technology choice is based on most economic technologies.

• The needed support level (premium) changes with changes in the power price. Oil, gas, coal and carbon prices vary over time.

• Target levels are mostly set in TWhs (amount of electricity produced), not as percentages of consumption.

• National schemes can lead to sub-optimal investment decisions based on support level. Limited national support funds can limit the support only for the first projects

• For the companies planning investments, uncertainties about developments in market fundamentals are not as costly as policy/administrative uncertainty

• In general, market-based systems are more transparent and correspond to changes in the market and especially in technology development.

• Ease of monitoring and enforcement – reliable compliance monitoring an enforcement implemented

• Diversification – lead to a diversified electricity system

• Equity or Fairness – disproportional burdens or benefits

• Acceptability – understood by the public, acceptable to generators and sellable to government

Tradable green certificate scheme is a market based support mechanism for renewables

• In the certificate system, each producer of eligible renewable production receives a certificate for each MWh of electricity produced. The certificates can be

sold in the market separately from the electricity.

• The electricity users or retailers have an obligation to purchase renewable energy according to an ambition level set by authorities - for example 10% share

of electricity purchase. This sets the demand for certificates.

• Price of certificates reflects the last renewable production unit needed to fulfil the total renewable target. The certificate is tradable in the market like any

other securities
