Structural composition of the 15-years PPA at the Don Rodrigo plant

Case study: a utility-scale subsidy-free plant in Spain 16 Main structural components of the Don Rodrigo PPA

Secure the offtake of the electricity Maximize the term of the offtake Have a fixed price period in the generated agreement beginning

The more of the generated power is taken The duration of the PPA term determines the A fixed price period secures cash flows in the off, the better possible duration of the long term debt beginning of the investment, which makes the

business case more robust At Don Rodrigo all electricity produced is being sold via the PPA, no physical limit At Don Rodrigo the PPA term is 15 years, the project finance can go up to 18 years At Don Rodrigo the first 5 years come with a fixed price (lower than today‘s 5-y-future), after The fixed and the floor price provide enough that it will have a (very low) floor price cash for the „banking case“

17 Main structural components of the Don Rodrigo PPA

Switch to a floor price scheme later Choose experienced and bankable counterparts

Having a flexible pricing lateron helps the counterparties: • The bankability of the PPA is linked to the insolvency risk of the offtaker • The offtaker is secured against falling prices over time and can therefore offer a longer term, has to • For production underruns the producer has to provide offer a floor though guarantees, so that the offtaker may buy missing production on the spot market (at a presumably higher price) • The producer is secured against the worst case through a floor price provided by the offtaker

• If prices rise, both profit, as the producer receives higher and the offtaker still receives a discount off the recent power price index

18 Was wir von Spanien lernen können

• Möglichst wenig im Marktgeschehen herumpfuschen • Flächen, Flächen, Flächen! • Investoren haben der spanischen Förderung nicht vertraut – • Es war einfach, die Flächen zu entwickeln vertrauen aber dem freien Markt • Andalusien hat über 100 neue Beamte eingestellt, um den • Im Bemühen, es für die Solarindustrie besonders gut zu machen, Genehmigungsprozess weiter zu beschleunigen wird mit ständigen Veränderungen in der Förderung eher • Allein um Sevilla sind weitere 1 GW in Entwicklung – wo finden Verunsicherung der Markteilnehmer geschaffen wir so etwas in Deutschland? • Ständige regulatorische Eingriffe erschweren zudem die  Anstatt Förderung auf der Absatzseite brauchen wir Hilfe auf der Projektplanung Seite der Flächenbereitstellung und –entwicklung • Die Bepreisung von CO2 ist sinnvoll, aber auch hier ist Vertrauen  „Grid Parity“ können wir auch in Deutschland im verloren gegangen Kraftwerksbereich sehr schnell erreichen, brauchen dafür aber  Die Absicherung langfristiger PPAs über Floorpreise hat sich als große Flächen sinnvolles Instrument erwiesen  Dafür werden weltweit zunehmend Flächen wie  Netzzugang und Einspeisevorrang sind wichtige Privilegien  Gewässer  Die Bepreisung von CO2 Zertifikaten ist richtig, muss aber stabil  Landwirtschaftliche Kulturen & Gewächshäuser und berechenbar werden  Konversions- Bergbau- Militärflächen usw. verwendet
