Preface

The present Proceedings include the presentations made at the Workshop "Data Gathering on Renewable Energies for New Member States and Candidate Countries", which was held on 13-15 November 2007 in Istanbul, Turkey. This was the fourth workshop dedicated to data collection on the Renewable Energies promotion in New Member States and Candidate Countries, after the ones held in Malta, Cyprus and Croatia in 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. The workshop was organised by the JRC-IES Renewable Energies Unit, Scientific Technical Reference System on Renewable Energy and Energy End-use Efficiency Action and Biofuels Action, in cooperation with the Faculty of Engineering, Marmara University from Istanbul, Turkey. Considering the ambitious targets proposed by the European Council, as well as the current level of RES share in European Union, all the member states and candidates countries must take major actions and move towards significant changes in the current RES approaches. In this light, the workshop was aimed to contribute to tackle the challenges of the ambitious proposed targets of 2020 that need changes in the development of RES support policies. The workshop focused on updating the existing data on RES deployment status, existing demonstration projects, costs as well as latest technologies changes and developments. One important point was to find- out which the country visions are for the future RES actions required, addressing the 2020 targets and what are their approaches for development, considering the national specific conditions as well as the success stories of several EU countries on RES development (Germany, Spain, Austria, Sweden, etc.). The workshop objectives were to look into detail on the following issues: Status, progress and trends for RES • Changes, general progress and new developments for RES • Latest info and new figures on the RES technologies deployment RES implementation issues • Status of planning and implementation of the RES technologies • Ongoing RES projects • Practical problems with implementation, barriers for deployment related to technical and economical (resources, technology and costs) or non-technical barriers (administrative, policies, etc.) Renewable energy policies • Policy definition, legislation, supporting measures • Good examples of renewable energy policies • Changes in the development of RES Policies Country visions for the future RES actions required, addressing the 2020 targets • Options available for achieving RES targets • Changes in the policies and actions planned. The key note speakers presented valuable information on the importance and general interest on RES at international level and provided all participants with a general view on the latest data on the trends and developments of RES at international level. They provided information on the status of RES at global level and in the Mediterranean region and on the current situation on RES, on data collection on RES and perspectives aiming to reach the targets for 2020. The participants at the meeting brought the latest data on RES potentials, development and planning for RES projects, status of the implementation of the RES technologies, providing latest data on the deployment of different RES technologies, including biofuels, compared with the targets in their countries. These also presented the RES policies and support schemes, including main financial incentives-tax incentives and investment subsidies. The experts from West Balkan Countries provided very new and important data on energy trends and interest in RES in their countries. The content of these proceedings are available on the website: http://re.jrc.ec.europa.eu/biof/

7 Key Messages from the meeting

Croatia. Recent Developments in the last year include the adoption of RES legislation including a package of five sublaws on RES electricity and cogeneration. A very generous feed in tariff for RES&C electricity was set in 2007, differentiated between technologies and applied for different plant size. A regulation was set on quality standards for biofuels and requirements and national indicative target of 5.75% by end of 2010. A new biofuels law is in preparation. For the moment, there are no incentives (tax exemption) regulations. Turkey. Energy generation in Turkey comes from natural gas (49 %), lignite (20%), hydro (19%) and fuel oil (4 %). The official targets in Turkey aims mainly at building 5000 MW nuclear plant, building lignite thermal power plants with capacity more than 1000 MW, full utilization of hydraulic resources, installation of minimum 3000 MW wind turbines and full utilization of geothermal resources in order to fill the gap in energy needs. Turkey is largely dependent on hydropower to meet its electricity needs and 40 percent of its total installed capacity is hydroelectric. Renewable energy law of Turkey allows the wind produced electricity to be supplied to the grid and require the payment of the average market price of electricity purchase. It provides conditions for implementation only in best wind potential sites. It does not support PV Implementation and wind energy in less favourable sites. On short-term, it is expected that wind power plants will play a major role in closing the electricity supply gap from 2007 to 2014. Malta. Studies have been carried on overall country potential and constraints and barriers. Wind, solar photovoltaic (PV), biomass wastes, landfill gases and sewage treatment plant gas offer some potential for RES-E exploitation in Malta. Tidal flow, geothermal, hydropower, biomass energy crops and wave do not appear to offer significant opportunities. There are some support schemes to promote micro- generation from RES (photovoltaic and micro wind), capital grants on PVs and micro-wind for domestic use and net metering and solar waters heaters – technology with highest development in Malta. Limited agricultural land and water are major constraints to growing of feedstock for biofuels. Biodiesel is produced from waste edible oil. The measures adopted to promote biofuels are the support scheme for biofuels through exemption of excise duty. In 2006 approximately 1.68 million litres of biodiesel sold. Slovenia. Feed in tariffs apply for RES, for producers who generate electricity in individual production facilities with higher-than-average actually achieved efficiency in the cogeneration of electricity and heat, or who use RES. For heat produced from RES, subsidies are in place for investment documentation for RES, financial incentives to households, and to companies and municipalities for RES investments. Biofuels used as motor fuels are exempted from the excise inspection and payment system when used in their pure form; when biofuels are blended with fossil fuels, a maximum 25% exemption from the payment of excise duty can be claimed. Czech Republic. Investment subsidies for RES are granted to entrepreneurs (small hydro, solar thermal, heat pumps etc.) or to municipalities, physical entities, NGO (PV, solar thermal, biomass heating) (subsidies between 15-40 % depending on technology), to for municipalities, NGO, church, etc. (for sustainable use of energy sources subsidies up to 90 %). For electricity, feed-in tariff and green bonuses apply for RES plants installed after January 1, 2007 and exemption for income tax for first 5 years. Financial incentives are provided as feed-in tariff or green bonuses. Biofuels production reached 110,000 t/year in 2006, but only 20,000 t were consumed in Czech Republic. Poland. The installed capacity of RES-E increased in Poland in the last year from 1307.5 MW to 1548.4 MW: biomass from 190 MW to 252 MW, biogas from 38.8 to 31.9 MW, wind from 83.3 MW to 176 MW, hydro from 1002.5 MW to 1082.8 MW, geothermal from 72.3 to 122.1 MW, solar thermal from 126,160 m2 to 167750 m2. RES electricity increased by 12 % to 4220 GWh (target for 2010: 12,000 GWh). There is a considerable development of solar thermal, with the support o national environmental funds (subsidies and low interest credits). RES support schemes are based on obligation to achieve quota (7,5%) and introduction of CoO (TGC) trade; penalty followed by voluntary charge for non-compliance (240 PL/MWh); biomass co-firing is eligible RET-E; distribution companies are obliged to buy “physical” green electricity by the market price of “black” electricity. Biofuels increased also from 42,200 to 84,300 t/year, biodiesel from 17,100 to 44,900 t/year.

8 Slovakia. In 2007, a new Strategy on higher RES utilisation was approved. It includes new binding internal targets for RES heat and electricity by 2010 and 2015 and a set of measures and consequent legislative actions. Certificates are issued by the Regulatory Office for Network Industries and are awarded to small power plants producing from RES with capacity up to 5 MW. Decree about fixed RES- E prices is issued for each one year and it is conditioned by the Guarantee of origin. A new RES-E price was set for 2008, depending on the RES source and plant capacity. For biomass, the RES-E price is between 66-90 €/MWh, for biogas is between 118-130 €/MWh, for solar is 255 €/MWh, for wind is 60- 90 €/MWh and for geothermal is 112 €/MWh. Macedonia. Some measures were adopted to create better conditions for introduction of RES. VAT for components of solar systems has been decreased from 18% to 5%. New, convenient tariff systems have been introduced for electricity produced by small hydro and wind power plants. A tender for completion of 40 small hydro power plants has been published. Governmental support is given for 500 thermal solar collector systems (up to 30%, not more than 300 €). A 30.000 t/yr biodiesel production plant has been completed in Skopje. Bosnia Several laws are in place within energy sector reform which gives positive treatment to RES for electricity production, but the relevant bylaws which should define implementation aspects, including national indicative targets, are not yet in place. The types of RES used in Bosnia and Herzegovina are hydropower for electricity production and biomass for heat production. An initiative for investigation of wind potential was completed and detailed plans for the establishment of three wind farms were made. There are limited financial resources available for implementation of RES projects, apart from regular commercial loans. Montenegro. Key renewable energy resources in Montenegro are considered hydro, wind, biomass and solar energy. A study on the assessment of RES potential – wind, solar energy and biomass was adopted in April 2007. A regulation on the connection of SHPPs to the electrical grid and instructions to determine price from SHPPs were adopted in May 2007. A tender for research and built SHPPs on 43 locations was launched. The energy development strategy of the Republic of Montenegro until 2025 is also in finalisation phase. Until 2025 it is foreseen that 4 wind power farms will be constructed, total power 20 MW (4 x 5 MW). Serbia. Tax policies regarding to RES include tax exemptions on investments in RES, income tax exemption, liberation from excise duty. There are no feed-in tariffs for electricity and heat produced from RES (Expected at the beginning 2008). A state warranty fund for RES facilities was set. The fund will subsidize the price of electricity produced from RES and delivered to consumers through the distribution network by 2 €cent/kWh. It will also subsidize with 1.0 €cent/kWh each the heat produced from RES and delivered by the heat distribution system. The State Fund and local authorities will subsidize the pure biodiesel or other biofuel that is sold through the official distribution network with 6 €cent/litre. From 2010 public passenger and goods transport must use at least 15% biofuel. A new biodiesel facility was built in Sid, with a capacity of 100,000 t/year, which produced 30,000 t biodiesel in 2007. Another biodiesel facility was built in Subotica, capacity of 10,000 t/year and produced 6,000 t of biodiesel. Retail price of biodiesel in Novi Sad is 0.9 €/l. Romania. Promotion system of RES in Romania is based on Green Certificates. RES eligible to receive GC are solar energy, wind energy, small hydro, biomass and geothermal. Solar PV systems account around 40 kW installed at two universities and several small households systems. There are several wind plants with a capacity of 7.65 MW. The hydro power is the most important RES in Romania, with an installed capacity of small hydro of 254 MW, all hydro producing around 29 % of electricity. Biomass is used on large scale for heating in households, using mainly fuel wood (4.5 Mt/year); five district heating plants were built to use sawdust (total capacity 35 MW). Wood residues are also largely used in wood industry to produce energy (mostly heat) for self consumption. Several biodiesel plants were constructed and other plants are under construction having a capacity of about 270,000 t /year. Financial support for biodiesel is provided by the single direct payment, complementary national funds, SAPARD Program and through tax exemption for biofuels. Bulgaria. The support scheme for electricity generated from RES and CHP is based on a feed-in tariff applied equally to different technologies and installed capacity, including for HPPs with up to 10 MW. It 9 is expected that after 2012 a common system for green certificates trading will be developed and implemented in the European Union and the Bulgarian generators will join that scheme. The energy legislation in force doesn’t foresee to provide direct investment subsidies or tax reduction for the RES producers. Hungary. The main RES sources in Hungary in 2006 are wood (47.4 %), other biomass (38.3 %), geothermal (6.6%), municipal waste (3.6 %) and other sources. The installed RES-E capacity increased since 2001 for wind, biomass and some biogas plants. RES-heat was produced in 2006 mainly from biomass (89.7 %), mainly forestry residues and wood and from geothermal (10.1 %). The biomass potential estimated in 2007 show a potential to produce 1,330,000 t bioethanol, 250,000 t biodiesel and 188 PJ biomass and 25 PJ biogas. Lithuania. In Lithuania the heat production from RES is based on biomass-wood, chips, wood waste, straw, biogas (440 MW). Electricity production from RES included mainly hydro, but the use of wind energy and biomass in CHP will increase in the future. Only in 2006 new 47.9 MW wind capacities were installed, reaching a total wind capacity of 54.3 MW. A National Energy Strategy was adopted in January 2007, setting the target of 20% RES in the primary energy balance by 2025, to increase the share of RES in primary energy balance by 1.5%/year until 2012 and to increase the share of biofuels for transport to 20% by 2025. The promotion of RES-E is through purchasing quotas. The feed in tariffs apply for RES, differentiated between technologies. For RES also grants and loans and tax exemptions and deductions are part of the promotion framework. A “Green certificates” system is planned to be introduced from 2021. For biofuels for transport, tax exemptions and deductions apply as well blending requirements. Estonia. Wind is one of the most important RES used in Estonia, with the capacity increased from 32.75 MW to 58.04 MW in 2006 and under development 18 projects with a capacity of 400 MW. The share of biomass is nearly two thirds of the total energy based on renewables, used mainly for heat production and cogeneration. Cultivation of energy crops on fallow arable lands and extended cultivation of oleaginous plants (rape, etc.) for biofuels production are expected to increase. There are a number of CHP plants under development on wood fuel with total capacity ca 120 MW. There are three biodiesel production plants with total annual production of 20,000 t and a bioethanol plant with annual production of 100,000 t is under construction. Latvia. Fuel wood is the most considerable local fuel in Latvia. Fuel wood part in Latvian balance of primary energy resources in the 2006 year was 24% of the total energy resources consumption. Straw obtained from agricultural activities in Latvia has not been considered a significant source of potential fuel. Wind generators with the total capacity 26.9 MW are installed in 2006 in Latvia. Electricity production from RES in Latvia (2005) comes from hydro (1534 MW) fuel wood CHP (2 MW), biogas (7.8 MW) and wind (26.9 MW). There are 3 biodiesel plants in Latvia now, with capacity about 10,000 t/year and 1 bioethanol production plant with capacity 9,600 t/year. Biofuels production is supported through tax exemption.

26 Renewables Global Status Report: Results

REN21 Global Status Report 2007 preliminary: (to be released in November 2007) • Investment in renewable energy production assets other than large hydro power approximately $52 billion US in 2006. (Approx. $39 billion invested in 2005). Total (including large hydro) close to $70 billion. • Renewable power capacity totals close to 200 GW (excl. large hydro), and close to 5% of global power capacity. • Fastest growing energy technology is grid-connected PV, (50% per year from 2000–2006, from low basis). Second is wind power capacity (25% percent per year since a decade). • Ethanol production in US grown to equal that of Brazil. Stronger biodiesel growth in Europe.

Paul Suding 14.04.2008 9

Annual Investment in Renewable Energy 1995-2006 (billion USD)

About USD 52bn invested in RE capacity worldwide in 2006, up from USD 39bn in 2005. Large hydro additional USD 15–20bn.

Germany and China investment leaders, with USD 7bn each in 2005.

Paul Suding 14.04.2008 10

27 Renewable Power Capacities in 2006 (GW) for DC’s, EU, and Top Six Countries

Global renewable power capacity increased from 182 GW in 2005 to 202 GW in 2006 (excl. large hydro). This is 5% of total global power capacity.

Developing countries account for 45%

China has largest installed capacity, followed by Germany, US, Spain, Japan.

Fastest growing technology is grid-connected PV (60% / year from 2000–2005). Most installed in Germany, Japan, and US.

Second is wind (28% per year), led by Germany with 19 GW installed as of 2005.

Paul Suding 14.04.2008 11

Solar Hot Water/Heating Capacity Existing in 2006 (Total = 102 GWth) Total Existing Capacity as of 2006: 102 GWth. Added in 2006: 15.4 GWth.

China has a strong lead in both existing (65%) and added (80%) capacity, followed by EU, Turkey, Japan, Israel.

Rooftop solar collectors provide hot water to nearly 45m households worldwide, most of these in China. Biomass-fueled heating provides five times more heat worldwide than solar and geothermal combined.

Paul Suding 14.04.2008 12

28 Ethanol and Biodiesel Production, 2000- 2006 (billion litres/year)

38bn litres of ethanol produced in 2006, up from 33bn in 2005

6bn litres of biodiesel produced in 2006, up from 4bn in 2005

Together, annual biofuels production compares to some 3% of the 1,500 bn litres of motor fuel consumed globally.

Ethanol provided 41% of (non-diesel) motor vehicle fuel in Brazil in 2005. Ethanol was blended with 30% of all motor fuel sold in the US.

Paul Suding 14.04.2008 13

Average Annual Growth Rates of Renewable Energy Capacity, 2000-2004

Industry: Market capitalisation exceeded USD 100bn in 2007 for the 135 publicly traded RE companies (or divisions of major companies), that had a market capitalisation greater than USD 40m each. This was an increase from 85 companies in 2006 with market capitalisation of USD 50bn total.

Four big Initial Public Offerings in 2005-2006: Suntech (China), Suzlon (India), REC (Norway), and Q-cells (Germany)

Jobs: Over 1.7m jobs in the RE industry worldwide

29 Renewables GSR 2007: Policies are key

• The biggest growth is in countries, states and municipalities with RE deployment policies (market pull) • Promoting RE market deployment policies have mushroomed • At least 48 countries have national market transformation policies (feed in tariffs or quota obligations) in the electricity sector, including 14 developing countries. Over 10 states or provinces in countries with federal constitutions have such specific renewable electricity mandatory market policies. In addition, the US and other countries use strong fiscal policies. • At least 8 countries have already enacted national deployment policies for biofuels, mostly blending rules. Many more countries are preparing such policies. In some countries, bioethanol and biodiesel benefit from substantial fiscal incentives. • About 10 countries have enacted mandatory rules for utilizing renewable energy technologies in the heating sector, in particular solar water heating. Increasingly, such rules are also being enacted by municipalities and other local governments

Paul Suding 14.04.2008 15

GSR 2007 shows again: Policies are key

• Quantitative RE policy targets exist in over 70 countries (including 27 EU countries) worldwide, if all sector specific and also non-binding targets are included. In addition, many states/provinces in the US, Canada as well as India and others have targets, not to forget the increasing number of municipalities.

51 High Renewable Energy Resources

• The SEMCs are located in the world’s solar belt and have an excellent solar availability. • The annual average global solar radiation over the region ranges from about 1300 kWh/m²/year on the Mediterranean coast to a more than 3200 kWh/m²/year in the South and desert areas. • The direct normal solar radiation reaches (2000-3200) kWh/m²/year with low levels of cloudiness. The total sunshine hours ranges between 2,650 and 3,600 hr/year.

52 High Renewable Energy Resources

• Biomass: – Total waste resources potential is very high in the region. Some tentative estimation for their energy valorisation potential has been carried out in Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey indicating significant results. The potential for waste resources in Egypt is estimated at 47 Mt per year. In Morocco, urban wastes are estimated at 3 Mt per year. – Non-commercial biomass potential is also relatively important, especially in Morocco where one third of the country’s total energy requirements are currently met with biomass. The region is thus losing many thousands of forest each year (30,000 hectares per year in Morocco). But in general, biomass data for the region are not always available and when available, they are of poor quality

High Renewable Energy Resources

• Hydropower: – The most important technical potential of hydropower in the region is available in Turkey (433 GW), Egypt (2.8 GW) and Morocco (2.5 GW). Existing generating power capacity in Turkey is 12.9 GW. In Egypt, however, potential for small hydro is rather small and does not exceed 25 MW. On contrary, the large potential in Morocco concerns small hydro and should be exploited in the near future. In Turkey, 4,114 MW hydroelectric capacity are under construction • Geothermal: – Geothermal potential is still not explored in the region except in Turkey. According to the information gathered, important potential is available in Turkey and also in Algeria and Morocco. Some potentially exploitable sites have already been located in these countries

61 “On current trends, we are on course for an unstable, dirty & expensive energy future” quote from IEA Executive Director

• A more sustainable future is needed • A more sustainable future is possible • High potential for energy efficiency • The electricity interconnection may help • Renewable energy have also an important role to play • OME is working on these issues through its RESDC

62 No single solution…. a portfolio of technologies is required

Solutions depend on … Renewable energy Efficiency in buildings, technologies Industry and End-Use products Countries, Resources, Needs, Biomass, CHP Energy efficiency in the Choices, transport sector Market, Timing, Infrastructure … Advanced power generation CO2 Capture and Storage and grid

Solar photovoltaics has costs decreasing by up to 18% with every doubling of cumulative production, but as yet remains economic only in remote locations. Source: World Energy Outlook 2006 and IEA databases

RE added value to the energy mix

• enhancing security of supply - both for geopolitical- concentrated in few countries - and infrastructure- power plants, pipeline, sea straits… • allowing energy sources diversification & reducing imports for consumers/ deferring production for exporters • mitigating risks in current energy portfolio and trends, due to volatility and instability of fossil prices; •creating framework for investment, enhancing industrial competitiveness – and opportunities for export, creating new jobs, favouring economic development •advancing environmental targets; •providing unique access to energy services;

64 • Barriers need to be removed, particularly – Institutional and legal barriers: in most of the countries, there is no institutional and regulatory framework specific to RE

– Competing resources: RE are competing with conventional energies relatively abundant, widely deployed and subsidised in several countries of the region. But, RE are most often already competitive in isolated rural areas

• Regional and international context is favourable – Regional: EC, EIB, MEDREP, MEDENER, MEDITEP, OME – Kyoto Protocol: the Clean Development Mechanism, an opportunity not yet fully exploited – The Mediterranean Strategy for Sustainable Development: a framework in favour to RE and EE – RE perspectives are encouraging

Conclusions

• A sustainable energy future is possible with a portfolio of clean and efficient technologies, RE definitely among them. • The task will take substantial time and it will require significant investments costs. But Business As Usual would cost more!! • The task is urgent: it must be carried out before a new generation of inefficient and high-carbon energy infrastructure is locked into place. Delaying action by 10 years would reduce the impact on emissions in 2030 by three-quarters • Implementing sustainable scenarios will require a transformation in: ¾ the way power is generated, ¾ the way homes, offices and factories are built and use energy, ¾ the technologies used for transport. • It will also require a strong co-operation between the North and the South countries to achieve the results implied

66 Recommendations -1-

• Realistic regional targets for EE, RE and access to electricity • Adapted institutional and legislative frameworks involving all stakeholders • Regional programme of implementation and measures strengthening in the fields of CC, RE and EE • Techno-economic studies for integrated euro- Mediterranean projects for solar and wind development in the SEMCS

Recommendations -2-

• Strengthened regional cooperation • Regional carbon fund • Regional programme for awareness and dissemination of information – Supervisory Board • The OME RESDC is working in this direction by initiating regional projects on several issues related to RE development in the region in cooperation with Euro-Mediterranean partners and with support of the EC

111 Renewable Energy in Malta

Data Gathering on Renewable Energies for the New Member States and Candidate Countries

Antoine Riolo 13- 15 November 2007 Malta Resources Authority

Overview

Background to Malta’s challenges and energy strategy;

RES Potential - outline of the work undertaken : ‰ Wind – onshore and offshore;

‰ Solar photovoltaic; ‰ Solar thermal;

‰ Biomass – waste; ‰ Biofuels.

112 Background

Malta’s geographical characteristics:

‰ Land area: 316km2 – urban area 23%;

‰ Population: 400,000 inhabitants;

‰ High population density: 1266 persons/km2 compared to EU average: 112 persons/km2;

Malta totally dependent upon imported fossil fuels for its energy needs:

‰ Currently over 63% of the primary energy used for power generation;

‰ Total electrical capacity of power stations – 571 MW;

‰ Small isolated system and with no existing interconnections;

‰ Annual Consumption: 2,300 GWh;

‰ Maximum Demand: 414 GWh

As yet Malta has no indigenous supplies of fossil fuels.

Malta’s energy challenges

Malta’s draft energy policy based on 3 main objectives:

‰ Security of supply and diversification of the fuel mix; ‰ Competitive pricing of high quality energy services; ‰ Environmental protection and climate change.

Very much aligned with the EU’s new energy package for a sustainable, competitive and secure supply of energy.

Energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy (RE) are important in assisting Malta to meet its energy challenges.

‰ At the same time one needs to be realistic of the country’s potential and limitations in addressing these challenges.

113 Renewable Energy Sources

Studies have been carried out highlighting overall country’s potential as well constraints and barriers:

‰ Wind, solar photovoltaic (PV), biomass wastes, landfill gases and sewage treatment plant gas offer some potential for RES-E exploitation in Malta.

‰ Tidal flow, geothermal, hydropower, biomass energy crops and wave do not appear to offer significant opportunities for exploitation on a commercial scale. Other RES:

‰ Solar thermal applications (for hot water requirements) is RES with highest penetration rate so far in Malta.

‰ Also some biofuel production carried out.

RES - Wind

Wind - RE technology that can make a significant impact to the Maltese energy economy.

Onshore wind:

‰ Mature technology and well developed - RE technology comparing favourably to conventional electricity generation and with cheapest ACP - € 0.05/kWh

‰ Various constraints and limitations to large scale deployment; 9 Grid stability issues: severity depends on ratio of generated power in relation to grid load. Wind capacity limited to 40 MW - Require interconnection to Europe for larger scale utilisation; 9 Energy output depends on wind characteristics and no relation to energy demand patterns; 9 Other constraints - site specific studies carried out: ƒ Identification of sites with wind energy potential (wind speeds and elevation) and considering site specific constraints and EEA proposed methodology (2006); ƒ Approaches involved consultation with key stakeholders.

114 Mapping unconstrained potential onshore sites

Mapping unconstrained potential onshore sites (2)

115 Onshore Wind

Constraints to large scale onshore wind with respect to each specified site: ‰ Lack of access: 9 serious barriers at Qasam San Gorg, Gozo ‰ Airport interference analysis: 9 excludes Hal Far Airfield and Gebel Ciantar; 9 Ghemieri and Wardija Ridge highly compromised, 9 possible impacts at Bajda Ridge, Marfa Ridge, Ta’ Hammud and Qasam San Gorg; ‰ Ecology and landscape Impacts: 9 Least compromised sites: Ta’ Hammud, Marfa Ridge, Bajda Ridge 9 Maximum capacity at sites likely to be reduced by planning constraints, ecological value and landscape sensitivity; 9 Bajda Ridge limited by bird sanctuaries; 9 Marfa Ridge surrounded by various grades of designated landscape. ‰ Visual Impacts: 9 In view of characteristics of Maltese landscape and scale of development – visual impacts can be significant and likely to limit number of windfarms;

Onshore Wind: resource potential

Areas of zero potential based on adapted EEA criteria :

‰ Infrastructures (roads); surface water bodies; touristic sites; military areas; woodland/ forests; water bodies; Natura 2000 sites; important bird areas.

‰ Airports + 4 km buffer (based on ICAO requirements for physical obstacle limitation namely those included with ICAO Annex 14 Vol 1: Aerodromes – Chapter 4 (Obstacle Control and Removal);

‰ Urban areas – buffer zone proposed 2 km – taking into account: 9 sensitivity of the Maltese landscape may be an important barrier to wind farms; 9 best sites in terms of wind speeds and elevations are located in sensitive landscape areas; 9 landscape is open with little tree cover affording long distance views; 9 Skyline dominated by the cupolas of churches and historic buildings. Tallest building rises some 70m from the ground and may be seen from any panoramic location within Malta and from high points in Gozo. 9 Weather in Malta characterised by low number of days with poor visibility and very good natural light; 9 All these factors suggest that large onshore wind farm development is likely to have a significant visual impact and likely to be prominent from a large number of areas.

116 Mapping areas of zero potential plus urban areas and buffer zones

Mapping of potential areas taking into account areas of landscape sensitivity, local visual (2km buffer around urban areas) and aviation concerns (4km buffer)

117 RES - Offshore Wind

Offshore wind - 2nd most economic option after onshore wind;

‰ Few shallow water sites in Maltese waters & located within 4 km from coast;

‰ Analysis of impacts of development of offshore wind on maritime and other activities as well as environmental impacts carried out to determine potential sites for Call for EOI for 75 – 100 MW offshore windfarm;

‰ Stakeholder consultation: 9 Aviation: Department of Civil Aviation, Malta International Airport, Malta Air Traffic Services Ltd.; 9 Maritime: Malta Maritime Authority; 9 Environment: Malta Environment & Planning Authority; 9 Tourism: Malta Tourism Authority; 9 Fisheries: Fisheries Conservation and Control Division; 9 Military: Armed Forces of Malta; 9 Communications: Malta Communications Authority. ‰ 3 categories of zones/areas identified: 9 No go’ areas – any proposal in areas so designated not be accepted. 9 ‘Sensitive’ areas – before consent is given, certain investigations over and above that which is normally included in EIA are required. 9 ‘Other areas’ – normal EIA process.

“No Go” Areas

118 No Go areas & Bathymetry

RES - Offshore Wind

Examples:

‰ ‘No Go Areas’: 9 Harbour approaches, runway approaches, unacceptable impact on radar, marine protection areas, areas for military purposes, tourism perspective.

‰ ‘Sensitive Areas’: 9 Fisheries, VOR coverage, navigation, bunkering and related activities, environment, visual and tourism impact, telecommunications.

‰ ‘Other Zones’.

Malta actively following developments in deepwater offshore windfarm.

119 RES – E : Solar photovoltaic

Solar photovoltaic:

Unconstrained PV resource potential is high :

‰ Annual mean of daily global; irradiation on inclined south facing solar panel – 5.49 kWh /m2 /day; ‰ Electrical potential of a 1 kWp PV system: 1600 kWh /annum; ‰ Flat rooftops and amenable to distributed generation; ‰ Realistic achievable potential mainly constrained by high capital costs of PV systems: 9 Average cost of power – € 0.33 / kWh; 9 Requires significant financial support ; 9 RES policy identifies targets of PV penetration to 2010 – 120-240 kWp /annum

Support Mechanisms : Micro-generation

Support schemes to promote micro-generation from RES (photovoltaic and micro wind);

Capital grants on PVs and micro-wind for domestic use;

‰ Net metering with a spill tariff - € 0.07 / kWh;

Government leading by example (PV installations on public buildings and micro-wind installations);

Removal of planning barriers for solar PVs - fast track notification systems established for solar and micro wind;

Response so far slow and further measures necessary for increased uptake:

‰ PV installations: 96 kWp; micro wind installations: 3.8 kWp. National education campaign on sustainable energy use: awareness raising on RES and Government support schemes;

Government has announced intention to allocate further funds to support RES-E from such installations.

120 RES – H : Solar thermal

Solar waters heaters – technology with highest penetration so far in Malta

Estimated capacity of total installations in Malta in 2006 = 16,700kWth;

‰ Approx. 41.8 kWth/1,000 capita in 2006:

9 Compared to EU average & CH - 27 kWth/1,000 capita; 9 Local contribution of solar thermal in 2006 estimated as equivalent to 0.28% of Malta’s annual electricity consumption.

Other potential:

‰ Solar thermal cooling technologies offer particularly strong potential for the future although widespread commercialisation of smaller units is still not fully developed.

Support Mechanisms: Solar Water Heaters

Various measures introduced to promote solar thermal:

‰ Capital grants on solar water heaters for domestic use (25% grant on cost & capped at €233); ‰ Uptake in grants for SWHs increased from 360 installations in 2005 to 1,540 in 2006; ‰ Use also of solar water heaters in various public housing schemes;

121 RES - Biomass

Measures undertaken to date for electricity generation:

‰ Preparatory work for the generation of electricity from landfill gas (Maghtab) and mechanical biological treatment plant (Sant Antnin) with a target for electricity generated from waste for 2010: 9 from biogas from Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT): 0.24%; 9 from landfill gas: 0.09%. 9 2010 potential: 0.33% of electricity consumption ‰ Additional - Post 2010 potential (with reference to estimated 2010 electricity consumption) (2.24% + 0.33% = 2.57%) 9 2 additional MBT plants are planned : 0.67 %; 9 Additional electricity generated from landfill gas : 0.30%; 9 RDF in waste to energy plant : 1.27%. ‰ Additional potential of electricity generated from waste which is being evaluated for Post 2010 (1.09%): 9 Energy recovery from sewage sludge : 0.24%; 9 Anaerobic digestion of animal waste : 0.85%.

RES - Biofuels

Biofuel production in Malta:

‰ Limited agricultural land and water are major constraints to growing of feedstock for biofuels;

‰ Biodiesel is produced from waste edible oil; Measures undertaken to date to promote biofuels:

‰ Support scheme for biofuels through exemption of excise duty; 9 In 2005 the biofuels national target for Malta was 0.3% of total fuel used for road transport. This was exceeded and bio-diesel accounted for 0.52%. 9 In 2006 approximately 1.68 million litres of biodiesel sold.

122 RES - Biofuels

Other work being carried out.

‰ Trials for use of biofuel for electricity generation being planned by Enemalta (main power generator). Possible studies which Malta would be interested:

‰ Research into potential and impacts (environmental) of biofuel production from marine sources;

Conclusions

1. Poland has considerable bio-resources availability; 2. In 2004-2005 Poland improved support scheme for green electricity, but it is not yet optimised and future bioelectricity/bioheat prospect is unclear 3. Biomass co-firing with coal in power plants is substantially supported and encourages farmers for production of energy crops but required better attention for sustainability in the full processing chain 4. Supporting scheme based on quotas/TGC needs active use of others policies and measures (RTD policy, subsidies, tenders or feed-in-tariffs for some RETs) to support small scale (to compensate „TGC privilege” for large scale) 5. Support for transportation biofuels based on a mixture of tax exemption and obligation for blending gives better opportunity for biodiesel development than for traditional bioethanol 6. There is a considerable development of solar thermal, with support of national environmental funds (subsidies and low interest credits)

RES Matters in Act on Energy

Protection of the environment and utilisation of RES, CHP and domestic coal sources in electricity production is defined as responsibility in public economy interest. In case of “General Economy Interest on RES utilisation” declaration Ministry of Economy can oblige the producer of electricity, the system and network operator, the supplier of electricity and the gas and storage operator to ensure RES or CHP utilisation in electricity production; or to ensure priority in access, connection, transfer, distribution and RES-E supply.

Special forms of electricity production:

¾combined heat and power (CHP); producer of CHP electricity has a priority to transfer and distribution of electricity;

¾electricity produced from RES; producer has a priority in transfer, distribution and supply of electricity; producer has a right to publish a confirmation about the source of produced electricity; confirmation will include identification of the source of produced electricity, date and place of production and in case of hydro-power plants also their capacity.

185 Secondary RES legislation framework - Ordinance of the Government of the Slovak Republic No. 124/2005

Certificates are issued by the Regulatory Office for Network Industries and are awarded to small power plants producing from renewables with capacity up to 5 MW. Until January 2006 RONI has issued 120 certificates: ¾3 wind power plants; ¾2 biogas power plants; ¾2 biomass power plants; ¾over 100 small hydro power plants.

The large hydro power plant, owned by Slovenské Elektrárne, does not need a certificate.

Regarding supply of electricity from renewable sources of energy, from combined generation of electricity and heat, and from domestic coal following parts of Ordinance are important:

(1) To cover losses in transmission of electricity and distribution of electricity, the systems operators shall preferentially purchase electricity generated from renewable sources of electricity, from combined generation equipment, from domestic coal.

(2) The preferential transmission, distribution, and supply of electricity generated from renewable sources of energy, from combined generation equipment, and electricity from domestic coal is performed pursuant to a special regulation (Decree of RONI No. 2/2005 and 2/2006).

Decree of the RONI No. 2/2007

Decree about fixed RES-E prices is issued by RONI annually for each one year and it is conditioned by the Guarantee of origin. 130 certificates about guarantee of origin have been issued by RONI yet. The application process for prices regulation for the next year is being repeated annually. This approach enables RONI to adapt other regulations, mainly regarding distribution companies which will purchase RES-E and due to fact that the purchase of RES-E is not obligatory in Slovakia.

191 Policy barriers for RES implementation in B&H

¾ At the moment, there is no National Energy Strategy for Bosnia and Herzegovina. ¾ However, the project Energy Sector Study in Bosnia and Herzegovina, supported by the World Bank, is expected to provide the foundations for the formulation of the Energy Strategy – planned to be completed in November 2007.

Energy strategy in B&H

¾ Parliament of B&H has made the decision on the preparation of energy strategy in accordance with the relevant documents such as PRSP and European patrnership for B&H ¾ The consensus has still not been reached between the Entity governments in order to give the support to the State Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations to work on the energy strategy

192 Energy strategy in B&H

¾ The agreement with the WB and EC required WB to finance the preparation of the Energy Sector Study which would be the expert basis for the preparation of the Energy Strategy. ¾ The preparation of Energy Strategy on State level began under the EU /EuropeAid CARDS “TASED” project in 2006, which was stopped for several months and then reactivated again from October 2007 ¾ Ministers responsible for energy sector have agreed to prepare first Entity Energy sector Strategies and then the State one

Energy Sector Study for B&H

¾ The Energy sector Study is expected to be adopted by March 2008. ¾ The study will give the energy demand forecasts to 2020 for three scenarios with environmental impacts of each form of energy ¾ The study will also estimate the potential of energy production from RES

193 Energy strategy in B&H

¾ Prior to the establishment of targets for RES use within the future Energy Sector Strategy, it is necessary to perform Feasibility Studies on RES usage (wind and solar energy) ¾ The procedure for obtaining the concession and licenses for the construction of RES installations should be simplified and should stimulate private investments as well.

Regulatory barriers for RES implementation

¾ Several laws are in place within the energy sector reform which give positive treatment to RES for electricity production, but the relevant bylaws which should define implementation aspects, including national indicative targets, are not yet in place. ¾ The following gives an overview of current legislation relevant to RES electricity.

194 The legislation on State level

¾ Law on electricity transmission, system regulator and operator in B&H (Of. Gazette B&H, No 7/02, 13/03)

¾ Law on establishment of electricity transmission company in B&H (Of. Gazette B&H No 35/04)

The legislation on Entity level

¾ Law on electricity in FB&H (Of. Gazzette FB&H 41/02,24/05,38/05)

¾ Law on electricity in RS (Of. Gazzette RS 66/02, 29/03, 86/03,111/04)

¾ Law on electricity in Brčko District (Of. Gazzette BD, br.36/04)

¾ One of the objectives of these laws is RES use

195 Support schemes for RES electricity

¾ Decision on methodology for determination the level of purchase prices of electric power from RES with installed power up to 5 MW (Of. Gazette FB&H 32/2002, Of. Gazette RS 71/2003)

Financial barriers for RES implementation

¾ There are limited financial resources available for implementation of RES projects, apart from regular commercial loans ¾ Interest rates for long term loans range from 6 to 12 % ¾ Not many companies are ready to accept these terms (RE project rather expensive, while economically risky due to lack of regulatory framework

196 Administrative procedures

¾ Entity laws for electricity define procedures for the construction of new capacities for electricity generation

¾ Licence for the use of facilities for electricity generation is issued for a period of 30 years and a licence for use of facilities for electric power distribution shall be issued for a period of 50 years

The types of RES in use in B&H

¾ Hydropower for electricity production and

¾ Biomass for heat production

197 Hydropower in B&H

¾ Among the existing 27 HPPs with total installed capacity of 2,160 MW, there are 12 small HPPs: 5 small and mini HPPs in territory of Republic of Srpska and 8 in Federation of B&H

¾ Only 35% of B& H hydropotential is currently in use

Review of small HPPs in operation (constructed after 2002)

TOTAL

198 Potential of small HPPs

Hydropotential

¾ The total hydropower potential is estimated at 23,395 GWh annualy, i.e. at about 6,500 MW of installed capacity ¾ Plans for 8 large HPP in Federation of B&H with planned installed capacity of 927.5 MW (capacity of single HPP ranges from 21 to 300 MW), and for small HPPs the total planned installed capacity is 74 MW. ¾ In Republic of Srpska, 34 candidate HPPs have been identified, with possible total installed capacity of 2,014 MW; the Government has allocated concessions for 102 locations for construction of micro and small HPPs with installed capacity up to 5 MW.

199 Biomass in B&H

¾ Biomass is usually used for heating in households across the country ¾ Data on existing and planned power plants are very limited ¾ According to one study from 2003, there is one power plant in Zavidovići that uses wood waste from furniture factory “Krivaja” with installed thermal capacity of 15 MW and electricity production of 4.5 MW. ¾ Potential of biomass in B&H is significant, evaluated at 1 mill. m3/annualy

Wind potential in B&H

¾ Currently not utilized ¾ Certain progress has been obvious especially in the southern part of the country. ¾ An initiative for investigation of wind potential and possible locations of wind farms was launched in 2001; measurements were performed during 2004 and 2005.

200 Wind potential in B&H

¾ On the basis of collected data on the wind potential and further analysis, detailed plans for the establishment of three wind farms were made ¾ Three wind farms: Borova Glava, Mesihovina and Velika Vlajna will comprise 26, 22 and 16 generating units, respectively. ¾ Planned installed capacity of a single unit is 2 MW and the total installed capacity of three farms would be 128 MW with the expected gross annual production of 367.5 GWh.

Wind potential in B&H

¾ Start-up is expected in 2008 for the units built in the first phase, and 2009 and 2012 for those built in second and third phase ¾ There are ten other locations which have been identified as adequate for wind power utilisation; the planned timeframe for the establishment of wind farms on these locations is 2009-2016 ¾ If all wind farms are established, the total installed capacity would be 624 MW, with an annual electricity production of 1,755.9 GWh.

201 Geothermal potential in B&H

¾ 33 MWth

¾ Currently under consideration: three locations for heat production - need for feasibility studies for the utilisation of geothermal springs at Bosanski Šamac, Kakanj and Sarajevo

¾ Exploration of potential locations is limited due to the lack of funds

Solar energy in B&H

¾ The theoretical potential is evaluated at 74.65 PWh, and the technical potential at 685 PJ. ¾ Solar thermal panel are used only in limited extent in the southern part of the country, with installed 4,000-6,000 m2 of solar collectors only. ¾ The average annual heat production is about 3.3. GWh ¾ The evaluation of installed photovoltaic systems in B&H is less than 2 kW.

202 Conclusions

¾ Institutional framework related to RES is rather poorly developed in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

¾ Two most important barriers are lack of unique energy policy and strategy and regulation framework for RES use ¾ B&H energy sector has a considerable potential and might become a significant exporter in the region

205 MACEDONIA - COUNTRY UPDATE ON RES POLICY, IMPLEMENTATION AND PLANNING

1. STATUS, PROGRESS AND TRENDS FOR RES

1.1. Changes, general progress and new developments for RES

There were no significant changes and progress in the development of RES in Macedonia during the last year. However, the government made some steps to create a more convenient environment for some RES. VAT for solar systems components has been reduced from 18% to 5%. New, attractive tariff systems have been introduced for electricity produced by small hydro and wind power plants. A foreign donation has been used to support wider introduction of solar panels for production of hot water. Tender for giving concession rights for using the water flows for the completion of 40 small hydro power plants has been published.

206 1.2. Latest info and new figures on the RES technologies deployment

-Within the frame of the project “Solar Water Heaters”, financed by ADA (Austrian Development Agency), a test station for solar collectors will be finalized until the end of 2007. It will enable introduction of quality labeling of solar collectors and components on the Macedonian market. -The project “Ecological Sanitation and Energetic Rationalisation of the Geothermal System “Geoterma” in Kocani”, financed by ADA, aims at geothermal energy use, enabling more efficient energy use and better environmental protection of negative impacts of the ef-fluent water. - The firm “Makpetrol” completed a biodiesel production plant in Skopje with capacity of 30.000 t/yr. This should initiate a wider introduction of this fuel in transport and agricultural sector. It is expected that until of 2008 a new one shall be also completed in Shtip (Eastern Macedonia).

1.2. Latest info and new figures on the RES technologies deployment

- A proposal to ICE (Italian Cooperation Agency) for preparation and, later on, realization of the geothermal system “Bansko” should enable introduction of newer technologies for organization and exploitation of geothermal district heating systems and increased security of energy supply while doubling the number of present consumers connected. - An action is carried out to demonstrate the positive possibilities of electricity production with wind turbines with the support of German government; first plants should be installed until the end of 2007 in the Southern part of the country. - Establishment of the first ESCO company for increasing energy efficiency and introduction of renewable energies should enable easier approach to possible users. First results shall be available until the end of 2007.

207 MACEDONIA - COUNTRY UPDATE ON RES POLICY, IMPLEMENTATION AND PLANNING

2. RES IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES

2.1. Status of planning and implementation of the RES technologies

In 2007 some initial activities have been completed or began, such as: a) Establishment of State Energy Committee, with the initial financial support of GEF, through the World Bank. It shall be followed by establishment of a special Fund for sustainable energies, through which new projects for RES application shall be co-financed; b) Establishment of the first ESCO company, also with the initial financial support of GEF, through the World Bank; c) Initialization of preparation of the study for the Renewable Energies Development in Macedonia, with the financial support of the Swiss Confederation. Within the study, an estimation of the influence of European legislation shall also be made;

208 2.1. Status of planning and implementation of the RES technologies

d. A small biomass plant has been completed in the factory “Lozar” AD Veles, where the existing boilers using crude oil have been replaced by boilers using dry grape branches. e. A 30.000 t/yr biodiesel production plant has been completed in Skopje. It uses import raw materials and organization of local production of biofuel crops is only in the initial phase. f. Tender for concession rights for using the water of the rivers Vardar, Strumica and Crn Drim for electricity production from 60 small hydropower plants. Tender successfully completed for 14 projects to be completed during the next three years.

2.2. Ongoing RES projects a. Ecological Sanitation and Energetic Rationalisation of the Geothermal System “Geoterma”, Kocani, Macedonia. A project of 1,540,000 €, financed by ADA (Austrian Development Agency), Ministry of Ecology and Space Planning and Municipality of Kocani. Project should be finished at 2009. b. Development project Solar Water Heaters. A 300.000 € project for training of administration, professionals and producers in order to enable wider introduction of solar energy use. A test station shall be completed in order to enable use of equipment and completes according to EU standards. Donation of ADA. c. Governmental support for buying 500 thermal solar systems. Up to 30% (but not more than 300 €) of the investment should be returned to the users. Project completed until the end of August 2007. Second similar action is planned for the year 2008.

209 2.2. Ongoing RES projects

The following RES studies are under preparation: a. Project “Acceleration of the Cost-Competitive Biomass Use for Energy Purposes in the Western Balkan Countries” – ACCENT, FP6-2002-INCO-WBC/SSA-3, Specific Support Actions, 2006-2007 b. Project “Renewables for Isolated Systems – Energy Supply and Waste Water Treatment” – RISE FP6 – 2002-INCO- WBC-1, Specific Target Research Project, STREP 2004-2007 c. Project “Rural Sustainable Development through Integration of Renewable Energy Technologies in Poor European Regions” - RES INTEGRATION, FP6-2002-INCO-WBC-1, Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area, Specific Measures in support of International Cooperation (INCO) – 2004-2007

2.3. Practical problems with implementation

Difficulties in the implementation of European Directives for renewable energies use in Macedonia can be summarized as follows: a) Absence of priority treatment in the state development policy; b) Absence of Strategy for development, adapted to the possibilities and economic strength of the country; c) Change of a significant number of laws and sub-laws in the Republic of Macedonia and introduction of new ones; d) Low capacity of administration and other state institutions; e) Absence of financial support for improving the RES development; f) Low price of electricity and local fossil fuels; g) Low level of adequate education of professionals in different sectors.

210 MACEDONIA - COUNTRY UPDATE ON RES POLICY, IMPLEMENTATION AND PLANNING

3. RENEWABLE ENERGY POLICIES

3.1. Policy definition, legislation, supporting measures

Some improvements in policy definition, legislation and sup-porting measures have been made: a) Decision for introduction of new tariff system for electricity, produced from small hydro power plants (Off. Gazette of RM Nº63/06) b) Decision for introduction of new tariff system for electricity, produced from wind power plants (Off. Gazette of RM Nº63/06) c) Decision for introduction of new tariff system for heat produced from geothermal energy sources (Off. Gazette of RM Nº47/07) d) Commitment for preparation of the Strategies for Energy Sector Development and RES Development are in progress. It is expected that both shall be contracted until the end of 2007.

211 3.2. Good examples of renewable energy policies

Macedonian Solar Energy Association was founded in May 2007 and already initiated several successful solar projects in combination with the running of ADA project. Biomass Energy Association (MAIEB) has been also founded in February 2007. Both associations, in collaboration with already existing Macedonian Geothermal Association (MAGA) and Macedonian Association for Energy Efficiency (MACEF), shall be able to improve the public opinion for their renewables introduction in the country and to initiate new projects.

3.3. Changes in the development of RES Policies

There are no significant changes lately in the development of RES policies in Macedonia. Thanks to the efforts of different NGO’s, renewables are kept under the attention of the press and electronic media, however there are no substantial activities illustrating that they are considered as one of the development priorities of the country.

212 MACEDONIA - COUNTRY UPDATE ON RES POLICY, IMPLEMENTATION AND PLANNING

4. COUNTRY VISIONS FOR THE FUTURE RES ACTIONS REQUIRED, ADDRESSING THE 2020 TARGETS

4.1. Options available for achieving RES targets

The available options for achieving RES targets in Macedonia are, more or less, determined with the technically available RES sources and economy strength of the country. They can be summarized in: a) Supporting the development of a system of small hydro power plants to reach at least 30% of the technically feasible capacity during the next 5 years and up to 70% during the next 10 years. This should result in an annual production of 300 GWh/yr and 700 GWh/yr, which is 2,9% and 7,5% of the present electricity consumption, respectively; b) Supporting reorganization and development of biomass for energy production sector to stabilize the present consumption during the next 5 and to increase the present utilization of wood at 600 GWh/yr during the next 5 years and 1.400 GWh/yr during the next 10 years through the introduction of production of pellets, briquettes and chips, followed with organization of energy wood cropping.

213 4.1. Options available for achieving RES targets

Biodiesel production in plants with a capacity up to 100.000 t/yr during the next year and 200.000 t/yr during the next 10 years, representing 12,1% and 22,2% of the present consumption of oil products; c) Supporting development of geothermal energy use in order to reach at least 120 MWt during the next 5 years and 240 MWt during the next 10 years, i.e. production of 250 GWh/yr during the next 5 years and 600 GWh/yr during the next 10 years, which is 3% and 7,3% of the present consumption of oil derivates; d)Supporting development of solar heating systems for hot water preparation and space heating in order to reach at least 200 GWh/yr during the next 5 and 600 GWh/yr during the next 10 years, which is 2,4% and 7,1% of the present electricity consumption;

4.1. Options available for achieving RES targets e) To support the introduction of wind electricity production, aiming to reach at least 30 GWh/yr during the next 5 and 100 GWh/yr during the next 10 years, representing 0,4% and 7,1% of the present electricity production respectively. The overall feasible target of electricity production from RES is 530 GWh/yr within 5 years and 1.400 GWh/yr within 10 years, i.e. 6,24% and 16,5% of the present consumption; RES substitution of oil derivates is 124.000 t/yr for the next 5 years and 260.000 t/yr for 10 years, i.e. 15% and 31,6% of the present consumption; increased production of energy wood for 600 GWh/yr within 5 and 1.400 GWh/yr within ten years, i.e. 7,1% and 16,5% of the present electricity consumption. This certainly underlines that RES are an important energy source which deserve a priority treatment for development, particularly if taking into account higher possibilities for further development of geothermal and solar energy.

214 4.2. Changes in the policies and actions planned

Some positive changes can be expected after the new government has been installed. The preparation of the Strategies for Energy Sector and RES Development will begin, Energy Agency is completed and first ESCO company for RES began to work. Real changes in the policies and planning concrete actions are expected during the next two years, after the Strategy is completed and conditions for its implementation created. It is also expected that the public opinion and particularly the one of decision makers shall be improved and ready to accept necessary changes.

223 NEWS IN RES POLICY, PRODUCTION AND USE IN SERBIA 2007

Miloš Tešić, Milan Martinov, Faculty of Technical Sciences, Novi Sad

Data Gathering for the New Member States and Candidate Countries on Renewable Energies Istanbul 13-15th. Oct. 2007

Situation in 2007

The way of current usage of biomass is well known for 25 years in Vojvodina/Serbia

Under the current financial and market conditions they are not economically viable

224 There are no proper LEGAL and TECHNICAL REGULATIONS, NO INCENTIVES for production and usage of biomass and other RES

MAIN OBSTACLES

• Low price of electricity • Lack of conceptual plan regarding the utilisation of RES and equipment development • Lack of incentives and proper legal regulative • Undeveloped institutions, insufficient number of expert in the field • Low economic and financial strength of domestic economy and population • Insufficient information of public

225 NPEE – Favorable environment?

• Energy and fuel prices relations • Laws • Policy rules and standards • Incentives • Penalties • Tax reductions • State funds for co-financing institutions, and businessmen • Institutions, education, training, informing

How should the state contribute to the advancement of biomass usage?

• Laws, regulations, policy rules, standards • Creation of favourable and stimulating environment for long-term economic development and use of RER (which should ultimately lead to domestic and international integration of all parties interested in biomass use: - agriculture, forestry, domestic industry, research institutions, • Increased level of awareness and knowledge of potential investors and equipment manufacturers, regarding the state-of-the-art in the neighboring countries • Pilot and demo-facilities built through National program for energy efficiency

226 CAPABILITY OF STATE APPARATUS AND GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES

• Government employees lack sufficient knowledge on the use of renewable energy resources (RER) • Low eco-awareness • No personnel – from municipal to state level – with training to calculate economic, environmental and energy benefits from biomass use

NEW POLICY

1. “Memorandum of Understanding on the Regional Energy Market in South East Europe and its Integration into the European Community Internal Energy Market” Signed, December 2003 and December 2005

2. Kyoto Protocol Signed (ratificated) in October 2007. 3. Decision of Government from January 2007 to stimulate usage of RES

227 Program for the implementation of the “Strategy for the development of energetic of Serbia for the period of 2006-2015” (adopted by Serbian Government on January 19th, 2007) targets the following objectives: • adoption of necessary legislatives, • adoption and realization of FINANTIAL and FISCAL measurements for stimulating the usage of RES, • realization of investment projects regarding to RES, • founding educative, training and research institutions, • monitoring and controlling the realization of Strategy regarding to RES.

Important policy changes in Serbia!

Tax policies regarding to RES: • Tax exemptions on investments in the field of RES • Income tax exemption • Liberation from excise duty

• 10 % of State Warranty Fund for RES facilities

228 Important policy changes in Serbia! Changes in Energy Law (on March 1st, 2007, deadline: 3 months) Aims: • Creation of a Governmental Fund for the financial instigation of the National Energy Efficiency and Production Programme based on Renewable Energy Resources (RER). • The required resources for the Fund will be secured from electricity bills, price of petroleum and coal, car registration fees, taxes, charity, international funds and donations, etc.

Important policy changes in Serbia! Establishing long term guaranteed production prices for the energy gained using RES (June 1st 2007, deadline 9 months). Aims: • The State Fund will subsidize the price of electricity produced from RES and delivered to consumers through its distribution network by 2 €cent/kWh. • A State Fund and a competent local government organ, or organ of a city, based on the half/half principle, will subsidize with 1,0 €cent every kWh heat (energy) that is produced using RES and that is delivered to consumers by the heat distribution utility system

229 Important policy changes in Serbia! • A State Fund and a competent local government organ, or organ of a city, based on the half/half principle, will subsidize each litre of pure biodiesel (or other fuel produced from RES) that is sold on the territory of the Local Authority through the official distribution network with 6 €cent.

• A State Fund and a competent local government organ, organ of a city, or the city of Beograd, based on the half/half principle, will subsidize with 6 €cent each litre of biodiesel or other fuel produced from RES blends that is sold on the territory of the Local Authority through the official distribution network.

Important policy changes in Serbia! Changes in Transport and Highway Traffic Law

(March 1st 2007, deadline 9 months) Article 10 was supplemented with paragraph 2, which states: „From 2010 public passenger and goods transport can be conducted only by transport companies whose fuel consumption in the previous year consisted of at least 15% of biofuel.”

230 Important results of the policy changes in Serbia! The expected positive effects of

The National Development Strategy until 2012:

250 Renewable Energy Policy in Bulgaria

Main obstacles for RES development

• Regulatory and Administrative Barriers

• Technical Limitations

• Regulatory Practices

Renewable Energy Policy in Bulgaria

Regulatory and Administrative Barriers

The main obstacles to RES are mainly of regulatory and administrative character, as follows: • Slow and heavy procedure under the Territory Structure Law, which delays the construction of a power plants. • Slow and heavy procedure under the Land Protection Law and the Environmental Safety Law. • Not clear rights and obligations between the central and local authorities. • Lack of administrative capacity in the responsible institutions. • Frequent changing of strategic documents, national programs and indicative targets. • Unreliable support schemes, in the investors’ opinion. • Small and non-liquid heat and power market segment. • The investors share the opinion that the administrative procedures are too many, too complex and with a long duration, moreover they are held by different institutions. This results in delays and unspecified decisions by the state authorities.

251 Renewable Energy Policy in Bulgaria

Technical Limitations

• Part of the main equipment and machines are not manufactured in the country. • Some of the technologies are not perfect and create difficulties in respect to environmental safety, animal species, vegetation variety, etc. This results in conflicts with environmental protection institutions, especially during public hearings and when water permits and terrains for construction of wind parks are requested. • Apart from the local impacts, wind energy also has a number of system-wide impacts because it affects: – Power system stability; – Reactive power and voltage control; – Frequency control and load following/dispatch of conventional units. • The solution of this conflict should be searched in the balancing of economic, social and environmental requirements through technologies improvement, their prices reduction as a result of market extension and introducing of market principles for RES.

Renewable Energy Policy in Bulgaria

Regulatory Practices

• The preferential prices, as well as the existing long-term regulatory obligation of the transmission and distribution companies to purchase the energy generated from RES and cogeneration, create comfort and security to the investors that they will be able to return their investments. This policy however cannot be accepted as a long-lasting one, since it not only breaks the market principles, but it results in increase of costs and prices. • The Regulators and governments should decide whether to socialize all RES costs or charge them entirely or partly to the ones who cause the costs. • These issues are still under discussion, as well with different EU member states.

Wind energy: Total end 2005 6.4 MW Installation in 2006 reached 47.9 MW Total end 2006 54.3 MW

298 Conclusions

Primary energy resources of Lithuania consist mainly of imported fossil and nuclear fuel. For this reason, Lithuania faces the problem of the power structure change, with the main emphasis on local and RE sources.

In Lithuania the main installations for heat production from RES are based on biomass (wood, chips, wood waste, straw, biogas). The total capacity of installed wood-chip-fuelled boilers reached more than 440 MW and installation of wind turbines reached 54.3 MW. No serious obstacles can be seen for the extension of wood fuel use.

Until now, hydro energy was the main energy source.

The use of wind energy and biomass in CHP for power production will increase in the future.

The minimum share of biofuels must be 5.75% and 20% from total consumption of transport fuels in the 2010 and 2025, respectively. Biofuels are blended with oil products.

Other RE sources: biogas, geothermal, solar energy and others are used only in pilot plants.

Fuelwood (1) Latvia is one of the wooded states in Europe – approximately 1.23 ha forest per one inhabitant, which is 4.5 times more than middling in Europe. The total increment of wood of the Latvia forests is 578 mil. m³ (in the year 2005).

Workshop on “Data Gathering for the New Member States and Candidate Countries on Renewable Energies”. 13-15 November. Istanbul. Turkey

Fuelwood (2)

Wood fuel in Latvia was used since immemorial time for energy needs. In the middle of 20th century, mainly wood and peat was the main local energy source. Later on, fossil fuels – coal, oil, and natural gas were increasingly used. Thus, the importance of wood fuel and other indigenous energy resources decreased. The situation has changed essentially after the restoration of independence of Latvia. The sharp increase in prices of energy resources and rising concerns regarding global climate change and environment protection stimulated the change of energy policy toward local and renewable energy sources. As a result, wood fuel was started to use not only in the households but in district heating sector as well. The average wood volume is 174 m³/ha. The average yearly growth of wood is 16.5 mil. m³. A large part from this growth comes from bushes, which it is not utilized in the present, and not valuable wood.

Workshop Motivation

"Data Gathering on Renewable Energies for the New Member States and Candidate Countries"

Place: Istanbul, Turkey

Date: 13-15 November 2007

Background This Workshop is organised by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission (http://www.jrc.ec.europa.eu), in collaboration with the Faculty of Engineering, Marmara University, Istanbul, Turkey. The JRC-IES Scientific Technical Reference System on Renewable Energy and Energy End-use Efficiency (REFREE) and Biofuels Actions organise the fourth workshop on Data Gathering on Renewable Energies for the New Member States and Candidate Countries, after the ones hold in Malta, Cyprus and Croatia. The aim of the workshop is gathering the latest information on the status of the development and implementation of RES technologies, as well as on the status of RES support policies at national level in the New Member States (NMS), Candidate Countries (CC) and Western Balkan Countries (WBC).

Motivation The European Union has the target achieving 12 % of total energy consumption from renewable energy sources by 2010. In addition, in 2010, renewables should contribute by 21 % of gross inland electricity consumption. Biofuels and other renewable fuels for transport should reach the target of 5.75 % of all petrol and diesel consumption for transport (on the basis of energy content) by 31st December 2010. The European Council endorsed on 9th March 2007 a binding target of a 20 % share of renewable energies in overall EU energy consumption by 2020 and stressed the objective of saving 20 % of the EU energy consumption compared to projections for 2020 estimated in the Green Paper of Energy Efficiency of the European Commission. Concerning the biofuels, all Member States should achieve a 10 % binding minimum target for the share of biofuels in overall EU transport consumption by 2020, in a sustainable way. In order to tackle the challenges of Climate Change, a strategic objective of limiting the global average temperature increase to not more than the 2º C above pre-industrial levels is seen as of vital importance, which should be achieved through an integrated approach to climate and energy policy. Addressing this objective, the European Council also made a commitment to achieve at least 20 % reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, compared to 1990 level.

Expected outcome This workshop aims at bringing together researchers and professionals in the energy field active in the energy production from Renewable Energies Sources in New Member States (NMS), Candidate Countries (CC) and Western Balkan Countries (WBC).

319 The workshop aims at the improvement of the quality of the RE data collection, to increase the amount of data gathering and to establish a data harmonisation on Renewable Energy in the New Member States, Candidate Countries and Western Balkan Countries. The workshop focuses on updating the existing data on RES deployment status, existing demonstration projects, costs as well as latest technologies changes and developments. The compilation of the new data will support to identify the new deployment figures for RES technologies. Of big importance on the agenda will be the issues related to practical problems with implementation and barriers for deployment related to technical and economical (technology, resources and costs) or non-technical barriers (administrative, policies, etc.). When addressing to the RE perspectives, the workshop will focus on collecting detailed information and perspectives for development of RES technologies, and examine the New Member States, Candidate Countries and Western Balkan Countries planning for the development and implementation of the RES technologies in each country. As a result of the interactive technical discussions, the workshop should enable the assessment and comparison of the evolution trends and the progress made in the last year of the RES sector within the New Member States and Candidate Countries, and finally conclude with the perspectives for the future. Considering the ambitious targets proposed by the European Council, as well as the current level of RES share, all the member states and candidates countries must take major actions and move forwards significant changes in the current RES approaches. In this light, the workshop is also aimed to help to tackle the challenges of the ambitious proposed targets of 2020 that need changes in the development of RES support policies. Of main importance is to find-out which are the country visions for the future RES actions required, addressing the 2020 targets and what are their approaches for development, considering the national specific conditions as well as the success stories of several EU countries on RES development (Germany, Spain, Austria, Sweden, etc.). The outcome of the Workshop will be summarized in proceedings, focusing on the proposed topics and based on the contribution of the meeting participants.

Experts This Workshop intends to include participants from New Member States, Candidate Countries and Western Balkan Countries, national experts and key representatives of New Member States and Candidate Countries that are involved and interested to support the promotion of RES within their own countries. Experts will mainly come from regulatory bodies, renewable energy agencies, renewable energy and environmental institutes, universities, research centres and energy companies. The national experts are invited to prepare for the Workshop a presentation covering the following issues: Status, progress and trends for RES • Changes, general progress and new developments for RES • Latest info and new figures on the RES technologies deployment RES implementation issues • Status of planning and implementation of the RES technologies • Ongoing RES projects

Abstract This document contains the Proceedings of the Workshop "Data Gathering on Renewable Energies for New Member States and Candidate Countries", which was held on 13-15 November 2007 in Istanbul, Turkey. This workshop was the fourth workshop dedicated to data collection on the Renewable Energies in New Member States and Candidate Countries, after the ones held in Malta, Cyprus and Croatia in 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. Considering the ambitious targets proposed by the European Council, as well as the current level of RES share in European Union, all the member states and candidates countries must take major actions and move towards significant changes in the current RES approaches. In this light, the workshop was aimed to contribute to tackle the challenges of the ambitious proposed targets of 2020 that need changes in the development of RES support policies. The workshop focused on updating the existing data on RES deployment status, existing demonstration projects, costs as well as latest technologies changes and developments. The workshop objectives were to look into detail on the following issues: status, progress and trends for RES, implementation issues, renewable energy policies and support schemes and country visions for the future RES actions required, addressing the 2020 targets.
