  1. Energy and Climate ChangeAn EU Perspective: The Power Industry’s ViewNHO/IOE, Oslo, 18 September, 2008 Bengt Magnusson Editor in Chief and European Correspondent Swedenergy – ERA Magazine

  2. Industry’s Face/Voice in EU Representing the European Electricity Industry at Expert, Strategic and Policy-making Level

  3. EURELECTRIC members

  4. Piebalgs-Barroso-Dimas, 10/1/07

  5. Neelie Kroes, 10/1/07

  6. Useful Background 1 • A Green Paper for a Common Energy Policy presented in March 2006. • ”Action Plan Energy Efficiency” launched 19 Oct 06. “The Rest”: 10 Jan 07. • Big Day: EU Climate Action and Renewable Energy Package, 23 Jan 08. • Proactive Energy Commissioner, Andris Piebalgs:

  7. Useful Background 2 • Common Energy Market. • Energy Supply - solidarity between Member Countries. • Diversified energy mix – up to every country (subsidiarity). • Proactive Climate Action – energy efficiency… • Strategic plan - EU world leader in energy technology. • A Common external energy policy. Competitiveness Env/ Climate Secure energy supply

  8. Useful Background 3 • High(er) electricity prices, heated discussions in the electricity intensive industry all over Europe. Ukraine, Georgia: Sec of Supply. • Climate issues and emissions rights trading (ETS): hot, hot! • Climate/energy: Currently has the Very Highest Priority within the EU!

  9. EC: Basic Proposals 1 (”20-20-20”)”23 January 2008” • 20 % reduction of GHG:s within EU by 2020 (compared to 1990). • Binding targets of 20 % renewable energy by 2020. • Energy Efficiency: 20 % according to Action Plan of 19 October 2006. • ”Ownership unbundling” is the objective for the electricity supply side (“not possible” in the gas business). • Co-operation between regulators.

  10. EC: Basic Proposals 2 • Yr 2015: at least 12 demonstration plants testing CCS (“Schwarze Pumpe” pilot in Germany open now). • Yr 2020: all new coal-fuelled plants have got CCS. • Liberalisation of electricity and gas markets continues. • Treaty/deal with Russia (Energy Charter)… When??

  11. EC: Basic Proposals 3 • Common technical standards for cross country power trading, more effective and better co-operation among TSO:s: • ETSO >>> ENTSO-E: encourage more transmission links, 5 yrs planning and approval - at most – 10 acc to EC. • Focus on and better financing of RDD; cf. SmartGrids, highlighted in a current IEA-project (Enard).

  12. Market integration must accelerate, we say… • The first packages brought progress, focusing on the national level. Regional markets must now be promoted: a necessary step to one EU market. • The most efficient way to deliver market integration is via system operation & grid investment at regional level. • The 3rd package should facilitate regional integration of network operators. Regulators & TSO:s should have a duty to promote market integration.

  13. FRANCE - single dominance SPAIN - duopoly GERMANY - oligopoly UK – fairly competitive market EC: Concentration in European electricity markets Norway, Finland, Denmark, Sweden: NORDEL folds… France, Germany, Benelux: Northwest Europe Cooperation established Power exchanges (Bourses) plentiful! NordPool ASA, et al.

  14. The road towards an integrated electricity EU-market Integration at European level Pan-European market 2007-12 Coordination between regions 2005-10 Development within regions 2005-09 Continued liberalisation of national markets 2005-07 Source: “Integrating Electricity Markets through Wholesale Markets: EURELECTRIC Road Map to a Pan-European Market” (June 2005)

  15. How to deliver? The best way for the EU to deliver on climate while offering competitive power supply is through A COMPETITIVE, INTEGRATED POWER MARKET ACROSS EUROPE Third package and climate/energy package must both facilitate trade & drive integration!

  16. Fossil Fuels Nuclear Renewables Key to cost-effectiveness: Synergies between supply and demand Efficient use of electricity and new electrotechnologies Low-carbon supply of electricity

  17. Age span in electricity generation, ”old EU15” 140 120 100 80 Oil GW Gas Coal 60 Nuclear 40 20 0 < 10years 10 - 20 years 20 – 30 years > 30 years Europe’s generation fleet ages: half of today’s capacity – most of it coal fired – is probably terminated by 2030.

  18. Prognosis – EU 2020: Renewable electricity Source: EC

  19. Role-play, co-habitation/operation according to EC proposal EU COM ACER ENTSO Monitor and examine National Regulatory Bodies National System Operators Source: Svenska Kraftnät

  20. Erik, 5 months old, your future energy customer – or boss… The Future

  21. Energy: now a climate issue! Sir Nicholas Stern.

  22. Climate: now an energy issue! Conti, Enel, Josefsson, Vattenfall, Barroso, EC.

  23. Extra curriculum: Who is this?

  24. Right, the Energy Minister of India! • His name is Sushilkumar Shinde. • At the WEC congress in Rome last November he pointed to the fact that his country has got 600 million people with no or very small access to electricity. In the EU we are 450+ million… • ”Clean energy must be supported, but market solutions will hardly make the trick”, says Shinde.

  25. India – one billion+ people • - Our priority is to supply our people with electricity, and the RES are not sufficient here. It’s simply necessary to go for fossil fuels, too, says Shinde. • And China has almost as many inhabitants as India…
