  1. GreenCarbonLite: What We Do Monitor & Analyse:EU Climate Change policy (Focus: Renewables and energy efficiency) Provide input to:Policy developers (EC, energy regulators, industry associations) Advise and help: Companieson carbon strategy, energy policy formulation, energy action plan implementation.

  2. 15 yrs European Commission 8 yrs Lafarge SVP Environment then CEO Italy 2 yrs renewable energy in Italy Expertise in sustainability, carbon management... GreenCarbonLite: Who We Are Chris Boyd, Economist Doron Cohen Ph.D., MBA • 18 years Executive management • Divisional management Energy, Scandinavia; Operational director French utilities; Consulting director • Expertise in Renewables & energy improvement programs... Mike Parr BSc & MBA • 12 years Power Engineer with MANWEB/Scottish Power EU • 20 years Market & Policy analyst (IT & Power), numerous inputs on European energy policy • Expertise in EU regulation, carbon tax and renewables...

  3. Theme 1: Cross border connections Theme 2: Biomass

  4. Energy Independence Energy Efficiency Market Innovation & Regulation RES Support Competition (Energy Markets) Cross border connections Renewables RES Directive 3rd Energy Package EU & Energy – “3 Policy Objectives”

  5. RES, Competition & Cross Border Connections • Better cross border connections = more possibility for competition • Yes…. but • 2. Better cross border connections = improved ability to absorb more RES TEN-E e.g. (now) NorNed HVDC link e.g. (later) North Sea HVDC Grid

  6. Thought Experiment – Cross-Border Connections Ukraine High RES potential Poland Slovakia Hungary Low RES penetration Romania Regional – not national approach is needed RENEWABLES GRID? (or Grid for renewables?)

  7. Not a thought experiment East Euro Network “On-Shore Grid for RES” (OSGRES?)

  8. Biomass Trends Bio-mass co-firing in coal plants DRAX (UK) Netherlands (RWE) 100MW (US feedstock) Czech Republic 30MW (bio-waste) UK (3 plants) 500MW (various sources) Business Opportunity??? Euro’ Commission looking @ biomass & sustainability (no repeat of biofuels problems)

  9. Conclusions • Renewables @ core of EU Climate policy • Cross-border connections allow much higher levels of Renewables pentration • East Europe has a large wind resource (that is statistically de-coupled) • East Europe has large amounts of unused bio-mass • East Europe needs to strengthen its transmission networks
