  1. Monitoring mechanism of the Green Electricity Act in Austria Catania, Friday, 07 October 2005

  2. Basics: Green Electricity Act • Feed-in tariff system • Guaranteed tariffs, no degression • Guaranteed payment period of 13 years • Assumptions: • power plant has to be „accredited“ as „green power plant“ by provincial government • contract with the „green power balance group representative“ (GPBGR) • Regulatory authority (E-Control) in charge of monitoring the support scheme

  3. Database for accredited green power generation plants • Input data from province governments („notices“) • Contains • capacity of the plant • energy source • Operated by E-Control • Does not display total installed capacity! • Allows anticipation of trends • Total capacity per energy source is published regularly online

  4. Database of the GPBGR • GBPR is obliged to buy RES-E and to pay the tariffs • GBPR signs contracts with RES-E producers • receives metering data from grid operaters (¼-hour values) • monitores „real“ capacity of the plants • manages and monitores financial flows including balance power • operates a database containing detailed information • installed capacity • fed-in electricity • paid tariffs • reports data to E-Control

  5. Annual report on green power trends • Green Electricity Act obliges E-Control to monitor the performance of the support system • Report published annually in June, available online • Contains: • Statistics • Supported volumes • Expenses • Capacity of accredited plants • Anticipated trends • Compliance with targets • Recommendations

  6. Gaps • „accredited“ plants are not necessarily on-line • no information about grid-connected plants which do not receive feed-in tariffs • capacity • fed-in energy • this problem exists especially because of the 15MW cap
