Nightmare - Incubo

...“Affinché i prezzi rimangano accessibili a tutti non possiamo
    fare a meno di carbone e nucleare“ (appello dell‘industria
    tedesca al governo conservatore)

   Dream - Sogno
    “Dobbiamo essere realisti: la Germania ha
   bisogno di carbone e nucleare“
Nightmare response

           The German ”Energiekonzept”
 An attempt for a comprehensive strategy for the time between
                         now and 2050

Target scenarios: Power

Target scenarios: Power

                          28 GW

                          PV 2050: 39 GW
How to do this

Markets; fossil and nuclear power plants
• Creation of a functioning European power market
• Extension of nuclear power operation time until 2035
• Support for CCS (only small (
How to do this

Cost-efficient expansion of renewables
• Faster reduction of PV FITs
• Dispatchability bonus/market premium for virtual power plants
  -   Targeted operation of biomass as back-up for fluctuating REN
• Short term: higher but shorter FIT for offshore wind
• Medium term: Tendering for offshore wind, instead of FIT
• Adaptation of legislation for building permits for
  onshore/offshore wind expansion
How to do this

Grid expansion
• 2011: ”Zielnetz 2050”
  -   Grid expansion; overlay grid; North Sea grid and cluster-connections
      for offshore wind; better integration of DE in EU grid
• Faster grid expansion
  -   Increase public acceptance through ”information offensive”
• German rolling 10-year grid plan (yearly updates)
• Review of grid tariffs
• Introduction of Smart meters (no concrete target)
How to do this

Integration of renewables
• More market-based REN support
  -   Optional market premium to be introduced in 2012 EEG review?
• More responsibilities for REN in system, control energy
• Review of possibilities for capacity market
• Expansion of storage capacities
  -   Exploitation of all pumped storage potentials in DE
  -   Usage of Norwegian/Alpine pumped storage potentials
  -   Increased R&D in various storage technologies
  -   1 million electric cars by 2020, 6 million by 2030 – use as storage?
Conclusions for the Energiekonzept
No real strategy after 2020
Lack of coherence in measures and numbers
Clearly in need for improvement
Attempt to reopen the nuclear debate beyond life extension
Denial of a rising industry
Realtà – Nel 2009 malgrado la crisi finaziaria EU e
USA hanno investito più nelle rinnovabili che non in
nucleare e energie fossili

Realtà

I prezzi dell’elettricità continuano a calare, malgrado
I prezzi al consumatore continuino a salire.

L’eolico ha già raggiunto grid parity e determina il
calo dei prezzi sui mercati.

Non è ragionevole mantenere supporti per iI
fotovoltaico ai livelli italiani, (E. Council resolution)

Nei mercati finanziari non c’è disponibilità di capitale
per nuove centrali nucleari

La rete continua ad essere indispensabile per ogni
scenario
Reality – Costs of REN technologies have been
decreasing and some already reached grid parity.

      Key findings:
      1. It is possible to create a 100% REN power system in EU and NA by only using
         processes that have already started. This is not a radical proposal, but neither is
         it trivial.
      2. The grid is the key enabler & most grid issues must be completed before 2020.
      3. No technology breakthrough is needed.
      4. A European Approach is needed
      Key observations:
      •   Most enabling areas need to be completed before 2020.
      •   Predictability and political leadership is required
      •   A European perspective needs to replace national ones in strategic planning

      We need to start now...

                   Encourage energy cooperation with
                    developing countries and regions

                                                  Reduce import dependency and develop
