Austrian Green Electricity Act • Before 2003 • Green Electricity Act 2003 • National implementation of Directive 2001/77/EC • Feed-in-tariff System: • guaranteed tariff (amount and duration) • Electricity supplier are obliged to purchasegreen electricity • Funding by: Final customers and suppliers • Amendments of the Act in 2006, 2008 and 2009 • New Green Electricity Act 2012 decided by the Austrian Parliament in July 2011
Targets of the Green Electricity Act 2012 (1) • Targets for additional installations in the period 2010 to 2020: • Hydro Power: 1000 MW (4 TWh p.a.) • Wind: 2000 MW (4 TWh p. a.) • PV: 1200 MW (1.2 TWh p. a.) • Biomass andBiogas: 200 MW (1,2 TWh p. a.) only when supply with ressources can be ensured
Targets of the Green Electricity Act 2012 (2) • Intermediate target for additional installations in the period 2010 to 2015: • Hydro Power: 700 MW (3.4 TWh p.a.) • Wind: 700 MW (1.5 TWh p. a.) • PV: 500 MW (0.5 TWh p. a.) • Biomass andBiogas: 100 MW (0.6 TWh p. a.) only when supply with ressources can be ensured
Green Electricity Settlement Center • Independend company licenced by the Ministry of Economy • Main Tasks: • Purchase of green electricity at fixed prices • Daily assignment of green electricity amounts to the suppliers • Calculation of quotas for all suppliers • Based on the electricity supply to final customers • Handling of applications for subsidies • Signing of contracts with operators of green electricity plants • (2010: overall 7.365 contracts)
Daily assignment of green electricity • Day ahead forecast of green electricity generation • Development of a schedule (15 minutes intervalls) • segmentation of the schedule according tio the quotas of the energy suppliers • Assignment of schedules to the suppliers • Suppliers are obliged to purchase the green electricity; Transfer price is determined in an order of the Ministry of Economy
