Il fotovoltaico in Europa: mercati, approcci e incentivazioni Venerdì 4 Febbraio 2011 Palazzo Bernardini, Lucca 1
Agenda • European Overview • Germany • France • Spain • Italy • Comparison of European PV-Markets
European overview – State of the art • In 2009 the EU represented 80% of the PV capacity installed worldwide • In EU, Germany is the dominating market (approximately 68%)
European overview – Future outlook From 2011 on, Italy will remain the second biggest PV market in Europe (Germany will remain the dominating market with less share)
European overview – Sinking prices Price development of PV power plants between 2008 – 2010 in Europe
European overview – Towards Grid Parity Italy: high power prices and high solar irradiation Grid Parity soon reached
Germany Current installed capacity (until 2009) 9’785 MWp (39% installed in 2009) EPIA: European Photovoltaic Industry Association
Germany – Type of PV installations Small-scale rooftop systems on residential buildings (18%) – supported by favourable FIT and tax-credit Medium to largescale installations on commercial and industrial roofs (65%) Medium to large scale ground mounted systems (17%)
Germany – Legal framework • Feed-in Tariff – Erneuerbare Energien Gesetz (EEG) • - The German PV market is still the word strongest PV market • - Germany is pioneer in FIT-systems • Main barriers: • Definition of technical requirements for grid connection • Identification of areas meeting the EEG requirements
France Current installed capacity (until 2009) 272 MWp (68% installed in 2009) EPIA: European Photovoltaic Industry Association
France – Type of PV installations Small-scale on residential buildings under 3 kWp (60%) – supported by favourable FIT and tax-credit; especially favoured are BIPV installations Medium-scale installations (until few MWp) on commercial and industrial roofs (30%) – supported by the FIT Large-scale ground mounted of several MWp (10%) – supported by the FIT (Government stop for such projects to avoid “speculation bubble” until March 2011)
France – Legal framework • Feed-in Tariff – Loi n°2000-108; Arrêté du 10 juillet 2006 soleil • Main barriers: • Delay in grid connection process • Unclear communication with grid operator • Urban planning process for ground-mounted installations
Spain Current installed capacity (until 2009) 3’386 MWp (2% installed in 2009)
Spain – Type of PV installations Small-scale on residential buildings under 20 kWp (7%) Medium-scale installations (until few MWp) on commercial and industrial roofs (60%) – basically favoured by FIT in 2008 Large-scale ground mounted of several MWp (33%) – favoured by FIT in 2008
Spain – Legal framework • Feed-in Tariff – Real Decreto 1578/2008 • - Spanish government introduced a yearly cap for each type of installation (i.e. for 2011 the cap for ground-mounted systems is of 162 MWp) as a result the Spanish PV Market collapsed • Main barriers: • Yearly cap • Administrative procedures (pre-registration) • Connection to the grid (rigid requirements)
Italy Current installed capacity (until 2009) 1’167 MWp (61% installed in 2009)
Italy – Type of PV installations Small-scale on residential buildings under 20 kWp (32%) Medium-scale installations (20 to 200 kWp) on commercial and industrial roofs experienced a growth of 45% in 2009 – favoured by a rise on the net metering limit Large-scale ground mounted experiencing a rapid growth since 2009. 34 PV-systems above 1 MWp have been installed in 2009 (over a total of 40).
Italy – Legal framework • Feed-in Tariff – Conto Energia • Main barriers: • Different procedures depending on the region – Harmonisation is required long lasting administration procedures • Grid constraints affect the development of distributed generation leads to delays and extra costs for grid connection
Comparison – Legal Barriers Duration (in weeks) of a PV project development process Segment A – small-scale installations on residential roofs Segment B – medium-scale systems on commercial/industrial roofs Segment C – Large-scale ground-mounted systems
EEG 3 EEG 2 EEG 1 Comparison of PV market development
Final Statement – The future is renewable General Trend: Prices of conventional energies sources (coal, fuel) are rising, while photovoltaics is becoming cheaper and more efficient Grid Parity is unavoidable Being infinite and decentralized, solar energy will play a key role Both the economical and society profit from a extended use of solar energy
Final Statement – Conclusion For staying on track in the energy sector it is of utmost importance to support a favourable framework for the PV-Market
