  1. Photovoltaics research and development in EU NewMember and Candidate States Stanislaw M. PIETRUSZKO PV-NAS-NET Co-ordinator Warsaw University of Technology POLAND

  2. Content • Overview of the PV situation in the EU New Member States • PV support mechanisms in the EU new Member States • Successes, challenges, needs

  3. “Status of Photovoltaics in the Newly Associated States” Organization of PV RTD and demo activities Stakeholders involved in RTD Scientific potential of NAS PV community PV activities carried out in NAS countries PV policies and support mechanisms Achievements and barriers, challenges and needs to the development of PV

  4. Installed PV power EU Countries* population: 376 mio. area:3.2 mio. km2 PV installed: ~ 588 MW *incl. CHE and NOR 8New EU Countries plus Bulgaria and Romania population: 106 mio. area:1.8 mio. km2 PV installed: ~ 0.7 MW

  5. Installed PV power Total installed power (kW) Total installed power/capita

  6. Number of staff in the research institutionsworking in the field of PV RTD

  7. Funds for PV RTD and demonstration/dissemination (1996-2003) Total (14 Mio Euro) Per capita

  8. Total funding of the European Commission(1996 – 2003) Total funding (thousands of EUR) (5,3 mio EUR) Total funding/capita (EUR/capita)

  9. Industry PV activities in NAS

  10. RES share in 10 Newly Associated Countries- status and goals

  11. RES support mechanisms in EU new members

  12. SUCCESSES • high intellectual potential • establishing Centres of Excellence • international networking • increasing number of demonstration projects • increasing number of off-grid systems • „Sun to Schools” in Czech Republic • „Development of Photovoltaics for Energy Needs” in Poland

  13. CHALLENGES • Obligations arising from White Paper (12% RES) and Directive 2001/77/EC (22,1% E-RES) in 2010 • enlargement of the EU by 10 states • dedicated support for PV throughout the whole Europe • improvement of the coherence of New Members and EU PV RTD activities on PV

  14. BARRIERS • absence of clear strategy on RES development • Low awarness of solar option - PV is “at the end” of RES • “die hard” prejudices • weak national RTD funding • lack of the real PV market • strong fossil fuels lobby

  15. CONCLUSIONS photovoltaics may develop in NAS awareness should be increased in society and among the key decision makers. the legal and market framework should be developed and strengthened NMS can effectively deploy their potential and contribute to corroborate and extend the European leadership in the advanced technologies research and industry.

  16. PV-NAS-NET FP5 contract no ENK5-CT-2002-80646 • Improvement of the coherence of NAS activities and EU PV RTD programmes on photovoltaics • Formulation of the recommendations for PV RTD programming in NAS and EC
