  1. AEEC Summer Camp Conference 2012 Energy Law in Denmark – Recent developments with a focus on electric cars Søren Hornbæk Svendsen 24 August 2012

  2. Status on energy regulation and objectives in EU/Denmark • Influence of the 2012 Agreement on the transportation sector • Regulation and challenges of electric cars in Denmark • Electric cars - why, how and when? • Why are electric cars economically advantageous in Denmark • Status on electric cars in Denmark • Agenda

  3. Regulation and objectives from EU • The Renewable Energy Directive (2009/38/EC) - Objectives • By 2020 renewable energy should account for 20 % of the EU’s final energy consumption Source: The Renewable Energy Directive (2009/38/EC)

  4. Regulation and objectives from EU • The Renewable Energy Directive (2009/38/EC) - Objectives • By2020 renewable energy sources shall make up 10 % of the energy consumed in the transportation sector.

  5. Legal frameworks and objectives in Denmark: • Agreement of 21 February 2008 (for the period 2008-2011) • Reached objectives: • Renewable energy to represent 20 % of the Danish gross energy consumption • Acts regarding renewable energy consolidated in one act (Act on Renewable Energy) • Public tender/procurement regarding the building of two wind farms, Anholt (2x200 MW) • Agreement of 22 March 2012 (for the period 2012-2020) • Main objectives: • Wind energy to represent 50 % of the Danish gross electricity consumption by 2020 • Renewable energy to represent 100 % of the total Danish Energy consumption by 2050 • 1,000 MW increase in offshore wind capacity, new capacity of 500 MW at near-shore areas, and a 500 MW increase in onshore capacity • Establishment of an intelligent electricity system  smart grid • Electricity and biogas in the transportation sector • Status on energy regulation and objectives in Denmark

  6. Political agreement on the fact that the transportation sector needs a radical reorginazation from conventional cars to alternative propellants e.g. electricity and bio mass • A strategy for the promotion of e-cars, hybrid plug-in cars etc. shall be prepared to support the launch of chargers for e-cars and infrastructure for hydrogen and gas in the transportation sector • Fuel has to be added 10 per cent of biofuel in 2020 – to reach the objectives specified in The Renewable Energy Directive (2009/387/EC) • Extension of the electric car pilot scheme • Influence of the 2012 Agreement on the transportation sector

  7. Main Legal framework: • Danish Electricity Supply Act • Implements the EU electricity directive • Other: • Tax law, standardisation law, law on spatial planning etc. • Regulation and challenges of Electric cars in Denmark

  8. Free choice of electricity supplier • When charging at home • When charging elsewhere – roaming • Installation of charging stations and metering • Unbundling requirements • Regulation and challenges of Electric cars in Denmark

  9. Security of supply • Reduction of CO2–emissions – very few initiatives in the Transport Sector • Local environment impact – reduction of air pollution • Efficient use of energy • The use of electric vehicles is one of the keys to fit in more RE in the electricity system • Why do we need electric cars/alternative propellants

  10. Subsidyschemes • In general the registration of a car in Denmark is charged a tax on 180 % of the basicvalue of the car • Electricallypoweredcarsare not chargedthisregistrationtax at leastuntil 2015 • The exemption of tax is on the conditionthat the engine is 100 % powered by electricity • A Renault Fluence Z.E costs DKK 206.900 while a similar Renault Lagunachargedregistrationtaxcosts DKK 359.000 • Due to the existingtaxregulation of hybrid cars an Opel Ampere costs DKK 626,670 (DKK 341,955 in Germany) • Smart grid and intellectualelectricity meters • How – public initiatives

  11. Better Place • Battery change stations • Drive [Denmark] Electric • Clever • Quick charge • Danish Electric Vehicle Alliance • How - Private initiatives

  12. Consumer behaviour: • 80 per cent drive below 80-100 kilometers a day • Cars are out of use 22 hours a day • Easy to drive. Many are able to drive an electric car • More comfortable: less noise and petrol fumes • Change of mind • It takes time to change the habits of consumers • Research shows that it takes between 20-30 years for new tecnology to break through • When - Electric cars and consumers?
