EDP Distribuição Energia, S.A. Internalisation of Environmental Benefits Concerning Dispersed Generation in the Portuguese Legislation António Brito Luis Neves
Introduction • The 1973 oil crisis lead to a global change of the European energy politics in an attempt to reduce external dependence. Some priorities were defined: • Diversify the oil supply; • Promote the saving and the rational use of energy; • Develop the internal sources of energy.
Renewable Energy Sources • Renewable energy sources achieved greater importance, as a main contribution to the global security in terms of energy supply Some priorities were defined: • Research; • Development of new technologies; • Legal context.
Legal Context • Technical definition of the plants connection to the grid; • Remuneration process assured; • Obligation of purchasing the energy emitted to the grid; • Support to the investment.
Legal Context • Decree-Law nº 168 / 99 - Renewable Energies • Use of “green tariff” concept; • Remuneration process that internalises: • environmental benefits; • reduction of costs in the Public Electric System; • Inflation correction by means of the monthly index of consumers price.
Legal Context • Decree-Law nº 538/99 - Cogeneration • Internalisation of environmental benefits; • Remuneration of the reduction of costs and losses in the grid; • Remuneration related to the dollar and the oil price; • Introduction of the equivalent electric efficiency concept. • environmental benefits; • reduction of costs in the Public Electric System; • Inflaction correction by means of the monthly index of consumers price.

Remuneration process for renewable energies • The remuneration is based on the avoided costs: • Fixed Remuneration (PF) - represents the avoided investment costs; • Variable Remuneration (PV) - represents the avoided operation costs; • Environment Remuneration (PA) - valorises the avoided CO2 emissions.
Remuneration process for renewable energies • In the remuneration process the following parameters are still considered: • LEV - represents the losses prevented in the nets; • KMHO - depends on the diagram of energy production; • Correction according to the inflation.

Remuneration process for cogeneration • Fixed Remuneration (PF) - which is proportional to the power emitted to the net; • Variable Remuneration (PV) - which is proportional to the energy emitted; represents the avoided operation costs; • Environment Remuneration (PA) - which is also proportional to the energy emitted; valorises the avoided CO2 emissions.
Remuneration process for cogeneration • In the remuneration process the following parameters are still considered: • LEV - represents the losses prevented in the nets; • KMHO - depends on the diagram of energy production; • Correction according to the inflation, the relation between Euro/Dollar and the price of oil.

Future Perspectives • Reduction of the obstacles that can prevent the increase of electricity by means of renewable sources of energy; • Simplification of administrative procedures; • Establishment of objective rules; • Easy access to the grid, maintainingthe reliability and safety of the electric system. • Introduction of the “green certificates” mechanism.
