  30. Price of the Emission Reductions CDM projects development is risky • Project risk • Country risk • Registration risk Legislative framework uncertainties • Kyoto Protocol obligations beyond 2012 have not been defined • (NAP) National Allocation Plans are not completely defined Registration process is slow and bureaucratic • Average CERs price(Certified Emission Reductions) of about 10-15 $/ton* • Average AAUs price (Assigned Amount Units ) of about 30 Euro/ton (July 05)* • Gap between price of CERs and price of AAUs (about 20 Euro/MWh) *Source: Japan Bank for International Cooperation, November 2005

  31. Advantages, disavantages and future perspectives of the CDM Disadvantages • At the present the CDM does not provide a sufficient incentive to develop a wind farm in the developing countries Advantages • Emission Reductions turnover comes from developed countries and is made in “strong currencies” • The wind sites in the South Med countries have an high production (load factor of 35%-40%): the trading of the Emission Reductions can help to cover part of the wind farm costs (about 15-20%) • Possible future increase of the Emission Reductions price Future perspectives To carry out the increase of the Emissions Reductions price is necessary • To reduce the legislative framework uncertainties (definition of the obligations for the years beyond 2012) • To make more effective and more simple the rules and the registration process for the CDM

  32. TRECs Tradable Renewable Energy Certificates Trading of the TRECs by bilateral contracts to private companies of the Potential Partner Country Development of a wind project in a North African country (Host country) and issue of the TRECs Trading of the TRECs in a “common market” Critical points • Grid connection between the Host Country and the Potential Partner Country (not essential) • Energy policy of the Host country harmonized with the energy policy of the Potential Partner • Establishment of a treaty between the Government of the Host country and the Government of the Potential Partner to confirm the legitimacy • Reliable Certification system

  33. EU Export strategy

  34. Export strategy and developing policy of European Union Report of EU, 29 September 2005 • Huge potential for cooperation between EU countries and South Med countries • EU to help foster the use of renewables energies in developing countries • Leading financing institutions as the EIB, the EBRD, the World Bank and national export credit agencies to assign priority to investment in renewables and in the South Med countries Advantages for the South Med countries • Local industry, local employment, poverty allievation, conflict prevention, sustainable development, emission reductions Advantages for EU countries • Export opportunities for EU companies: equipment supply, resources assessment & mapping, site selection, micrositing, operation & management project management, project appraisal and planning • Possible future import of energy from the South Med countries
