6. EUROPEAN WIND ENERGY CONFERENCE Come to next years EWEC in Marseille (16 - 19 March 2009) and be part of the international wind energy debate! Over 80% of the 9,000 m2 of the exhibition space has already been sold. It will be the largest EWEC exhibition ever! Over 6,000 key players will attend from all sectors of the industry: manufacturers, component suppliers, developers, operators, utilities, consultants and financiers The EWEC 2010 will take place in Warsaw, Poland (20 � 23 April 2010). Book your stand now! More information: www.ewec.info Also a workshop foreseen in Hungary in mid-June. We�ll be looking at how to address national bottlenecks in the framework of the RES Directive.

9. The trajectory foresees most of the effort towards the end of the period. 20% increase, 30% increase, 45% increase then 65% increase on 2005 basis. The trajectory foresees most of the effort towards the end of the period. 20% increase, 30% increase, 45% increase then 65% increase on 2005 basis.

10. How much RES-E? How much wind power? Transport difficult to increase to 20% considering low level of renewable energy at outset. Therefore electricity and heating have to compensate. Electricity is the sector where the biggest improvements can be made the most rapidly. Wind will be the biggest contributor to the EU�s target in terms of electricity generation.Transport difficult to increase to 20% considering low level of renewable energy at outset.

11. Range in EU in 2007 went from 0% wind energy (Cyprus, Slovenia and Malta � although latter foreseen to finance an offshore park) to 22.247 MW in Germany. In terms of penetration, however, DK has the largest. Hungary is beneath the EU average of 3.7% wind in electricity demand.Range in EU in 2007 went from 0% wind energy (Cyprus, Slovenia and Malta � although latter foreseen to finance an offshore park) to 22.247 MW in Germany.

12. The capacity cap looks to us artificially low and we believe it stems more from the TSOs fears than from a real technical limit. If we think of the previous slide, certain countries are integrate considerable amounts of wind without problems. Naturally grid management has to be reviewed, but I believe that this cap is a brake for wind development in Hungary as it sends out the wrong message to developers. It can also mean that a number of precious years of RES development will be lost. What the figures show is that there is a large potential for growth. If we consider that the year will end with over 110 MW of wind capacity, that is around 1% of demand. There is the potential to multiply the capacity by 10 by 2020. Enough projects are in the pipeline and, of course, new ones will also be proposed.The capacity cap looks to us artificially low and we believe it stems more from the TSOs fears than from a real technical limit.

13. The RES Directive imposes the elaboration of National Action Plans for each Member State to explain how they are going to reach their target, how they are going to unlock the Res potential of their country. The Commission is to prepare a template of what the NAP should look like and contain. We expect that issues of sectoral targets, simplification of administrative procedures and access to grid will have to be part of the NAP. They are also things that are specifically mentioned in the Directive. We saw in the previous what Hungary�s wind capacity could be. It is important when designing the National Action Plans to have ambitious albeit realistic targets. In terms of administrative procedures, it is necessary to identify the problems. Solutions could be having a one-stop-shop. Fixed deadlines for processing requests. Perhaps a system where a request is considered authorised unless the refusal arrives within a given deadline. The need for coherence between the various administrations and levels of government has to be addressed as well.The RES Directive imposes the elaboration of National Action Plans for each Member State to explain how they are going to reach their target, how they are going to unlock the Res potential of their country.

14. The EU�s potential in terms of wind energy are vast. With the appropriate legal frameworks and political (even more so than financial) support, we believe that it is possible to go beyond the 180GW forecast by 2020. An appropriate political framework would stimulate the entire supply chain which has the capacity to go further, but is currently facing a umber of bottlenecks.
