  1. European Commission AER Committee C Seminar « Sustainable energy policy: Promoting Renewable Energy and Rational Energy Management in Regions of Europe » EUROPEAN UNION POLICY AND STRATEGY FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY Mariàngels Pérez Latorre Porjus, Norrbotten 1-2July 2005

  2. European Commission The Energy Sector in Europe, EU-25 Where are we? • Constant increase in global consumption mainly in transport and households, • Constant increase in electricity production, Consequently: • In spite high increase in renewable production its share in total consumption stagnates,

  3. European Commission Gross Energy Consumption EU-25

  4. European Commission Gross EnergyConsumption EU-25, 1725 Mtoe in 2005

  5. European Commission Gross Energy Consumption EU-25 Renewable Sources

  6. European Commission Gross Energy Consumption EU-25 Biomass and Waste

  7. European Commission Community Legislation • RES Elect. Directive • Bio-fuels Directive • Directive on the taxation of energy products • Buildings Directive • CHP Directive • Eco-design Directive • Energy Services Directive

  8. European Commission Community Programmes • Research on RES (since 1974) • FP RTD (since 1984) • SAVE ( since 1992) • Altener (since 1994) • Intelligent Energy Europe (2003-2006) CIP (2007-2013) • Support to local agencies • Public Awareness Campaigns

  9. European Commission Which is the current situation at EU level? • At EU level the legislative framework is almost completed with measures taken in both renewable and efficiency fields, • Research, innovation and other energy related programmes support projects in both fields Is this enough ?

  10. European commission Will the EU achieve its 2010 RES-E target? Currently implemented policies will probably result in a share of between 18% and 19% Extrapolation scenarios set out in the Commission Staff Working Document show that Europe is in its half way related to the 2010 target under current policies and measures This is even true if reductions in total electricity demand as a result of new energy efficiency measures is taken into account

  11. European commission Some reasons: Progress in achieving the national targets differ strongly between the Member States Not all Member States have adopted complementary proactive measures geared to national conditions Success of wind energy is not outweighing the slow growth of biomass electricity Biomass is lagging behind

  12. In May 2004… European Commission On track: DE, DK, ES, FI About to be on track:NL, UK, SE, AUT, BE, IE, FR Not on track: GR, PT

  13. European Commission WIND – THE SUCCES STORY • Installed wind energy capacity in EU15 grew 20% in the last 6 years, 34 GW total installed capacity at the end of 2004 • In an average wind year this capacity can produce 74 TWh (= around 2.4% of EU electricity consumption) • Germany, Spain and Denmark contribute 80% of total EU15 wind power capacity

  14. European Commission Biomass electricity: • 2010target will only be achieved if biomass contributes 40% to it • Biomass electricity will need to grow by 18% per year compared to 7% during the past 7 years

  15. European Commission Photovoltaic: • 2010target will certainly be achieved • 2010 target could be even doubled • In addition, if massive use in buildings, its impact will be important in the industry • However, its impact in energy balance will be negligible in short term and in any case to help reaching 2010 target

  16. Additional Potential 2020 Achieved Potential 2001 AT BE DK FI FR DE GR IE IT LU NL PT ES SE UK CY CZ EE HU LA LT MT PL SK SI BG RO European Commission 250 Mid-term potential for RES-E in EU 27: achieved potential 2001 … 419.1 TWh additional potential 2020 … 1254.6 TWh 200 150 RES-E electricity generation potential [TWh] 100 50 0

  18. European Commission Main Priorities • Improve energy efficiency • Action Plan on Biomass Financial Perspectives (2007-2013) • FP 7th • Intelligent Energy Europe in the framework of Competition and Innovation Programmes • Structural Funds

  19. European Commission Improving Energy Efficiency Main barriers: • Structural market inadequacies • Lack of commitment of public authorities • Energy producers and consumers lack of awareness • Price fixing • Inappropriate tax structures

  20. European Commission Green Paper on Energy Efficiency “Doing more with less” COM(2005)265 final of 22.6.2005 Main figures: • Savings, by 2020, the equivalent to 20% of current EU energy consumption • Savings, by 2020, € 60million per year or • Saving combined energy consumption of both Germany and Finland

  21. European Commission Green Paper on Energy Efficiency Policy Options: • Annual National EE Action Plan with benchmarking • Informing citizens • Improving energy pricing • Better targeting state aid • Public procurement to kick-start new technologies • Extending the scope of Buildings Dtve. • Training and information

  22. European Commission Green Paper on Energy Efficiency Public Debate: • 25 Questions Information: • http://europa.eu.int/comm/dgs/energy_transport/index_en.html

  23. European Commission Biomass Action Plan • Current use (2002): 61 Mtoe/year • Objective 2010: 135 Mtoe/year Efforts to reach 2010 objective of 12% • Electricity: + 32 Mtoe/year • Heat: + 24 Mtoe/year • Biofuels: + 18 Mtoe/year

  24. European Commission BAP Possible Action • Synchronising bio-energy relevant EU Policies and creating a common understanding within EC • Mobilisation of effective EU support mechanisms for bio-energy (Structural Funds, CAP, EIB/EBRD) • Signalling strong EU Action + political awareness raising for supplementary MS level action • Others (Standardisation, FP 7th, EI-E,)

  25. European Commission Foreseen impact if additional energy efficiency measures Extension of Community Directives: • Power generation savings: 40Mtoe • CHP: 20Mtoe • Buildings Dtve. extended to all type of buildings: 30Mtoe • Implementation Eco-design Dtve.: 20Mtoe

  26. European Commission Conclusions (1) Trends in last 10 years: • Increase in consumption • Increase in RES production, but • Stagnation of RES share en gross consumption • Poor action on efficiency • Weak market penetration compared with actual progress in technology+innovation in Europe

  27. European Commission Conclusions (2) Persistent Weakness: • Lack of development of mid and long term • Deficit of public/private partnership • Lack of coordinated action in both demand and supply sides • Deficit of cities/regions partnership • Lack of awareness of both decision makers and consumers
