Presentation Transcript

  1. Vergnet SA presentation RENEWABLE ENERGY CONFERENCE – 24/11/2010

  2. Balanced mix : the new model for modern energy policy 2010 Typical France daily mix (RTE) • Procurement security • Strategic independence • Complementary Resources • Local sources : renewable energy 2020 Objective: 23% wind energy in France(50% in unconnected islands)

  3. Thermal energy sources are limited to the next 23 generations • Fossil energy 3080 years • Nuclear energy 3070 years (French Atomic Energy Centre CEA report) Visibility for Nuclear is not greater than for fossil energy

  4. Visibility for Renewable energy is infinite,to be completed by new technologies Renewable • Hydro • Wind • Solar Energy for the future 4th generation nuclear plants (rapid neutron) Deep Geothermal plants

  5. Two worlds of wind energy, one mature industry • Traditional wind farms • Big plants connected to High Voltage distribution network • Huge investments by major companies • New approach (but historical one): distributed generation • Local production and consumption • Rural players • Reasonable “Human” investment and size • Smart grids

  6. Distributed generation : a new hope for rural areas in Europe • Medium costs, real energy production • Reasonable investment, comparable with farmers’ usual investments • About 400 to 500 MWh per year • New profitable activity for farmers • “20% of farming income and financial stability” said Mr K. Armonas, farmer and owner of Birzai 250 kW wind turbine(in Lietuvos Rytas, 15/07/2010) • New work opportunities in rural areas • Installation and maintenance can be done by local small companies

  7. Main countries are following the way of distributed generation with dedicated incentives : Feed In Tariff / Subsidies

  8. Vergnet survey about distributed generation potential market

  9. Lithuania : a pioneer in stand by for distributed generation Birzai, Lithuania • First country to decide subsidies to distributed wind energy • More than 100 applying farmer with real and bankable projects • OneVergnet turbine inaugurated in Birzai in July 2010 with average 98% availability • Contracts for other 35 mid size turbines • Knowledge transfer to Lithuanian company for installation and maintenance • Opportunity for technology transfer in Lithuaniafor the whole sub-region (Baltic, Poland, Bielorussia) Today everything is blocked

  10. Visibility and legitimacy for wind energy • All countries are developing a balanced energy mix • Wind energy offers infinite visibility at competitive price • Wind energy distributed generation is becoming part of the solution • Like all new industrial techniques, it needs National help at the beginning • Distributed generation contributes to the development of rural areas • Its cost has to be compared to real rural electricity cost To develop distributed energy, a specific higher tariff is needed
