Still diversity of support schemes in Europe but with some converging trends Source: Ecofys based on Ragwitz et al. (2012). RE-Shaping Ecofys et al. (2012). RE progress and biofuels sustainability. Dr. Corinna Klessmann, Dr. Isabelle de Lovinfosse
The MS are currently on track with their 2011/2012 trajectory but projections do not look good for 2020 Source: Ecofys based on Ecofys et al. (2012). RE progress and biofuels sustainability. Dr. Corinna Klessmann, Dr. Isabelle de Lovinfosse
Lessons from MS experience tell us how to design effective and efficient RES-E support schemes Lessons learnt Best practice design criteria • Policy changes transparent and predictable (e.g. automatic degression, clear formula for quota setting, pre-set revision agenda) • No retroactive changes • Long term political commitment • Guarantee support level for long term • Consultation with stakeholders Provide reliable framework: frequent and unexpected policy changes undermine investor confidence Reflect and limit investment risks: risk-conscious (triple-A) policies increase growth and reduce support costs by up to 50% Adjust level of support to technology and market conditions • Tailor support scheme to RE market deployment status and electricity market readiness • No abrupt or retroactive policy changes • Avoid rigid budget or capacity caps • Simple, transparent permitting process • Priority grid access and dispatch • Quota: long term horizon and serious penalties • Government facilitates access to capital (e.g. participation, financial guarantees, loans) • Apply technology specific support levels • Calculate level of support based on LCOE, so support neither too low nor too high • Planned and transparent adjustments based on technology and market changes Dr. Corinna Klessmann, Dr. Isabelle de Lovinfosse
