Renewable power plants require flexible CCPPs

Flexibility “on demand”

Additional outlet for gas sales (secure demand)

Low investment costs per capacity

Ability to operate on balancing market (incl. intra-day market)

Hedging of decreasing gas prices

High variable costs

Exposure to spark spread and CO2 price, risk of being price-setting plants in merit order

Reduced competitiveness in base load on forward market

Gas-fired CCGT

Low/zero variable costs

Low carbon footprint reducing Group’s carbon intensity, no exposure to carbon price

Growing market potential due to changing energy map

Favourable regulatory setting

High investment costs per capacity

Inflexible, to certain extent uncontrollable power generation

Economics influenced by geographic factors (“geographic monopoly”)

Renewable power

Ability to operate anytime on all different markets and optimise sales portfolio (base, peak, intra-day)

Ability to meet changing demand requirements

Stable cash flows, sustainable profitability / growth options

Risk diversification

Synergies

Some thoughts on the State of the World…

Astonishing news and possible conclusion

IEA World Energy Outlook 2010

Spain: In the first 10 months of 2010, ~35% of electricity demand met by Renewable Power*

Germany: Wind- and solar power capacity of 62 GW by 2015 (36% of installed capacity)**

Renewable Energy business develops faster than even expected by promoters

Hydrocarbon resources are limited and too precious to be just burned, apart from the impact of their carbon emissions

Fatih Birol: Limitation of global warming to +2 °C not feasible with current measures; CO2 emissions expected to increase by 22% to 35 bn t CO2e until 2035 despite implementation of counter measures

Birol: The world needs higher oil prices to change consumption habits

Subsidies Renewable Energy 2009: US$ 57 bn

Subsidies Oil & Gas 2009: US$ 312 bn expected to increase to US$ 600 bn until 2015 (Base scenario)

Desertec Industrial Initiative Dii – Energy from Deserts

Dii 2050 Vision

Background and Concept

15% of the European power demand by 2050

700 TWh/a transferred from MENA to various centres of demand in Europe; Total production in MENA: 4000 TWh/a

Installations in MENA: 400 GW CSP, 130 GW wind energy, 120 GW PV, 40 GW geothermal

350 bn EUR until 2050 for power plant infrastructure, 50 bn EUR until 2050 for High-Voltage Direct-Current (HVDC) transmission lines

Desertec concept (started 2003) focuses on solar power, but also on wind and other renewables

Dii brings the technology to the best resources and not to the best subsidy schemes to produce sustainable electricity for EU and MENA

EU has to import Renewable Energy to fulfill 80% RE target 2050*

Incentives (e.g. feed-in tariffs) for Renewable Power projects in MENA will be possible by applying Article 9 of the EU Renewable Energy Directive

EU Member States can act as “Off-taker” of Renewable Power from third countries to close the gap of their Renewable Energy targets (NREAP) buy purchasing of Renewable Power and by a statistical (“booked”) transfer of the electricity under a cooperative flexible mechanism (no physical transfer necessary according to Article 9)

Status, outlook and challenges

ChallengesStatus and outlook

Implementation of the framework of the EU Renewable Energy Directive into national legislation to provide incentives at the optimal locations with the optimal technologies to minimize costs

MENA footprint still very modest

Diverse interests and agendas of both Dii SHs and EU Member States

Dependence of Europe on MENA states and negotiations on long-term PPA between Europe and MENA states

Ambitious Dii goals are seen as unrealistic by some experts, e.g. the expected low solar electricity generation costs

Political stability in North African countries and impact on security of investment

Political process to achieve permission to extend transmission lines through southern European countries

Grid connection between Morocco-Spain (limited to 500 MW free capacity) is the starting point for the first reference projects (cluster) of 500 MW in Morocco

Timeline until 2012: Ready for Tender and Financing of these reference projects

Grid connection limit of 500 MW Morocco-Spain will be increased by 2017

Next reference projects will be probably started in Tunisia (Grid connection Tunisia-Italy expected by 2017 as second path)

As Turkey has been synchronized to the EU already, the MENA-Turkey-EU grid connection will be the third path from MENA to EU

New interconnection between Spain and France by 2014 will be realized as achievement in the frame of the Mediterranean Solar Plan (French initiative started in 2008 with the objective of 20 GW in 2020)

Electricity Generation Cost Comparison of CSP to CCGT and other Renewables (€/MWh)

* Solar Electricity Generation System** Levelized Electricity Cost

17-year old SEGS* in California produce electricity at approx. 170 €/MWhIn Spain, LEC** is about 230 €/MWhIncreasing the size of plants, costs will decrease by as much as 40%Increased supply chains to standard components will drive costs down by further 20% in the near termTherefore, 100 €/MWh seem realistic in the mid-term

Area Restriction is not an Issue for Desertec

Due to sand dunes and shifting sands certain areas can not be used in the MENA regionRemaining usable area for CSP plants in MENA still very large (~4.6 mn km2), compared to2500 km2 that are necessary for the Desertec goal of 100 GW by 2050CONCLUSION: AREA RESTRICTION IS NOT AN ISSUE

Cooling Water Requirements in the Deserts also not an Issue

Solar-thermal power plants (like most conventional power plants) also require cooling water, which may be costly or scarce in desert areas.However, again like in conventional plants, alternatively dry cooling towers with air fan can be applied for cooling. Dry cooling systems significantly reduce plant water consumption, but it reduces the power plant efficiency and increases LEC by 5-10%.Another solution is to use a co-generation system for thermal sea water desalination as cooling device. In this case the plant would even generate water instead of consuming water, provided that salty water is available.On the coasts, direct cooling with sea water is also feasible.

CONCLUSION: WATER AVAILABILITY IS NOT A TECHNICAL ISSUE, BUT FOR DRY COOLING EFFICIENCY IS LOWERED AND ELECTRICITY GENERATION COSTS ARE INCREASED.

Back of the Envelope - Solar Irradiation

Solar irradiation:Spain, Turkey: 2000 kWh/m2.a = 228 W/m2

MENA: 2800 kWh/m2.a = 320 W/m2

Land use efficiency CSP parabolic trough plant:3.5-5.6% (average: 4.5%)(source: DLR, 2009)

Solar power per unit area:Spain, Turkey: 228 W/m2*0.045 = 10 W/m2

MENA: 320 W/m2*0.045 = 15 W/m2

Back of the Envelope –Solar power plants in the deserts for Austria

Andasol:50 MWel × 3400 h = 170 GWhel electricity production/yearArea: 2 km2 for 50 MWel (including 7.5 h thermal storage)

Austria:Population: 8×106

Area: 83800 km2

Electrical energy consumption: ~ 65 TWh/a

Solar Power plants in the deserts for 100% electricity for Austria:65 × 1012 Wh/0.9 = 72 TWh/a (taking into account 10% transmission losses from MENA to A)

72 × 1012 Wh/170 × 109 Wh = 424Corrected by a factor 1.5 (see previous slide), this means 283 times Andasol 50 MW type of CSP plant is needed to produce 100% electricity for Austria

This means a desert area of 283 × 2 km2 = 585 km2 is needed (= 0.7% of Austrian area)
