IN Industrial Policy Network Energy road map 2050 - leaked
IN Industrial Policy Network • High GHG emissions • The great majority is directly or indirectly linked to energy • Security of supply risks • High dependence on foreign sources of energy imported from a limited number of suppliers including from politically unstable regions • Gradual depletion of fossil fuel resources and rising global competition for energy resources • Variable electrification sources poses new challenges to grid to ensure uninterrupted electricity deliveries • Competitiveness risks related to high energy costs and underinvestment • First mover advantage should be carefully assessed against cost of high carbon, fuel and electricity prices for industry Problems with current system
IN Industrial Policy Network Will require trade-offs and the market alone might not be delivering Significant investments will be needed in the near future to replace energy assets Relying on more low-carbon, intra EU and more diversified sources of energy, produced and consumed in an efficient way, can bring significant benefits Solution
IN Industrial Policy Network • Energy market prices do not reflect all costs to society • pollution, GHG emissions, resources' depletion, land use, air quality and geopolitical dependency. • Inertia of the physical system • Investments in the energy system are long-term assets leading to significant lock-in • Public perception and mindset of the users • Perception of the risks related to the construction of new power plants and infrastructure by general public can be more negative than expert judgements. Factors that hamper the shift
IN Industrial Policy Network • Uncertainty concerning technological, demand, prices and market design developments • Uncertainty about future technologiescan significantly increase investors' risks and costs and makes consumers and businesses reluctant to invest. • Imperfect markets • In some Member States markets are still dominated byincumbents • Market myopia, i.e. the fact that long-term investments are notnecessarily pursued by market actors who are generally drawn towards shorter-term gains. Factors that hamper the shift 2
IN Industrial Policy Network • To shape a vision and strategy of how the EU energy system can be decarbonised and become more secure and competitive by 2050. • Specific objectives are being proposed: • Provide more certainty to investors by showing different decarbonisation pathways for 2050 • Show trade-offs among policy objectives as well as among different decarbonisation pathways and identify common elements in all decarbonisation pathways; • Set milestones after 2020 to mobilise stakeholders and give more certainty for period after 2020. Objectives
IN Industrial Policy Network Demand side: Energy efficiency Supply side Renewable energy sources Nuclear Carbon Capture These makes six scenarios which have been assessed Four main decarbonisation routes
IN Industrial Policy Network Substantial Traíning needed Need for higher skilled jobs Increased cost for households But what about employment?? Social effect
IN Industrial Policy Network There is a need for an integrated approach. Electricity makes major inroads in decarbonisation scenarios reaching 36-39% share in 2050 The share of renewables at least 55 Modern, reliable and smart infrastructure including electrical storage. Nuclear has a significant role in decarbonisation in Member States where it is accepted CCS contributes significantly towards Substantial changes in the period up to 2030 will be crucial for a cost-efficient long term transition. Households shouldering the greatest cost increase coming from higher costs for direct energy efficiency expenditures Common elements to scenario analysis
IN Industrial Policy Network Global climate action is a prerequisite for successful decarbonisation Predictability and stability of policy and regulatory framework creates a favourable environment Discussions about policies for 2020-2030 should start now Energy efficiency tends to show better results in a model world than in reality. Strong need for targeted support policies and public funding supporting more energy efficient consumer choices. Due attention should be given to public acceptance of all low carbon technologies and infrastructure Implications for future policy making
IN Industrial Policy Network Flanking social policies might need to be considered early in the process given that households shoulder large parts of the costs. Strong support should be given to R&D in order to bring down costs of low-carbon technologies. Flexibility. The future is uncertain and nobody can predict it. That is why preserving flexibility is important for a cost efficient approach External dimension, in particular relations with energy suppliers, should be dealt with pro-actively Implications for future policy making 2
