  2. Agenda • Overview (Key facts) • Electricity Energy Sector Infrastructure • Electricity Prices and Solar radiation • Levelized Cost of Electricity • Grid Parity Projection • Political Framework • Conclusion Solar Market conosurconsultores.com

  3. Overview (Key facts) • Federal constitutional republic (50 States and 1 Federal district) • 9.8 million km^2 area (25 times Germany) and 312 million people (3rd) • GDP 2011; US$ 15.1 trill. (1st), China US$ 7 trill. (2nd) . (1 US$ = 0.79 Eur) • Energy Consumption 2011; 97.5 quad. BTU28.5 PWh (10^15)(1st ), more than 7 times Germany consumption (*) Data 2010 wikipedia • Total energyconsumptionincreases 12 % by 2035. (0.5% per year) US EIA http://www.eia.gov/energy_in_brief/major_energy_sources_and_users.cfm http://www.eia.gov/energy_in_brief/renewable_electricity.cfm

  4. Electricity Energy Sector infrastructure (*) 2010 • Differents sources to generate electricity No national Grid to transmission • 3 grids operating in 48 contiguous states, 1 grid in Alaska and 1 grid in Hawaii. • In addition throughout the year consumption varies, therefore prices vary according location. http://www.eia.gov/state/ http://www.eia.gov/energy_in_brief/power_grid.cfm http://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.cfm?id=4270

  5. Electricity prices 2011 Avg Vs. Radiation (1 US$ = 0.79 Eur)

  6. Levelized cost of Electricity Solar System (1 US$ = 0.79 Eur) • Assumptionsfrom RNEL 2011 study. (c-Si Modules) http://www.osti.gov/bridge • 25 % overnight capital costreductiondue modules price vs. 2011 study. http://www.eia.gov/oiaf/beck_plantcosts/ • LCOE NREL simple calculatorused. http://www.nrel.gov/analysis/tech_lcoe.html

  7. GridParityiscoming… (1 US$ = 0.79 Eur) Assuming 10 % system price reduction by learning curve in PV. Approx. yearly trend increases electricity price by 2.65 % Residential, 1.89% Industrial and 0.5 % Utility.

  8. Political Framework • Adoption of electric retail choice programs that allow end-use customers to buy electricity from competitive retail suppliers. • State Incentives: California Solar Initiative. (http://www.gosolarcalifornia.ca.gov/csi/index.php) • States Policies  SREC’s on states with Renewable Portfolio Standard. • Federal Incentives: Business Energy Investment Tax Credit (ITC) . 30 % tax credit from renewable equipment http://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.cfm?id=6250 http://dsireusa.org

  9. Projection PV and CSP (Utility) www.nrel.gov/docs/fy12osti/51847.pdf www.nrel.gov/docs/fy12osti/51847.pdf www.nrel.gov/docs/fy12osti/51847.pdf www.nrel.gov/docs/fy12osti/51847.pdf

  10. U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)Sunshotiniative • Reducing Solar Technology Costs • Increasing PV solar cell efficiency, • Reducing production costs • Opening new markets for solar energy • Reducing Solar Grid Integration Costs • GridPlanning • Reliability • Accelerating Deployment solar technologies

  11. Conclusion • US Solar Market is increasing • Fast due approaching grid parity. • RPS in states and federal incentives facilitate deployment. • Potentialtobebiggest solar market in theworld. (Resources and demand). • Iftrendsprevailthepercentage of Solar plantsgeneratingelectricity at utility-scalewillbehigherthan 16 % as projected in 2035 by US EIA. (http://205.254.135.7/forecasts/aeo/er/pdf/0383er(2012).pdf) • Betterestimation of LCOE shouldbecustomizedtothelocation. (statecharacteristics, CP, more detailed overnight cost, wages, etc.)
