The analysis was done in the frame of the EU project ‘Risk of Energy Availability: Common Corridors for Europe Supply Security (REACCESS)’ carried out under the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission (Theme - Energy-2007-9. 1-01: Knowledge tools for energy- related policy making, Grant agreement no.: 212011). The study conducted as Task 2.3 in Work package 2 focuses on solar power as an additional and virtually limitless energy resource in contrast to fossil resources which were analysed in other Tasks of the REACCESS project. The interconnection of electric power transmission grids among the Mediterranean countries, including EU-countries as well as countries from the MENA region promises an increased level of energy security. The huge solar resources in the MENA countries, significant improvements in solar electricity generation and power transmission technologies, and the growing need for the decarbonisation of European electricity supply leads to increased interest in an EU- MENA electricity grid interconnection. The objective of this analysis was to specify the long term potential for solar electricity import from MENA countries into the EU, and to provide detailed technical and cost data for electricity generation and power transmission options. Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants including high temperature heat storage and high voltage direct current (HVDC) lines as transmission technology represent the key technologies for implementing this most promising option for import of renewable energy to EU27. The report documents the data basis which was used for the identification and characterisation of potentials and corridors provided for REACCESS project as an input for risk assessment and scenario studies using multi-regional TIMES energy system models. Annex A lists identified solar resources and electricity generation potentials of possible supply regions and Annex B gives an overview of identified and characterised corridors for imports into EU27. Page 1 Characterisation of Solar Electricity Import Corridors 2 STATUS OF KNOWLEDGE - RESULTS FROM RECENT STUDIES Methodologies and results of the study TRANS-CSP (Trieb et al., 2006) commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) were used as basis for work in WP2 Task “Electricity supply”. The TRANS-CSP study analysed the renewable electricity potentials in Europe and their capability to provide firm power capacity on demand. The concept includes an interconnection of the electricity grids of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa (EUMENA) and evaluates the potential and benefits of solar power imports from the South. The results of the TRANS-CSP study can be summarized in the following statements: ¾ A well balanced mix of renewable energy sources backed by fossil fuels can provide sustainable, competitive and secure electricity for Europe. For the total region, the scenario starts with a reported share of 20 % renewable electricity in the year 2000 and reaches 80 % in 2050. An efficient future backup is necessary to complement the renewable electricity mix, providing firm capacity on demand by quickly reacting, natural gas fired peaking plants, and an efficient grid infrastructure is required to distribute renewable electricity from the best centres of production to the main centres of demand. ¾ After initiation, a change to a sustainable energy mix leads to less expensive power generation than a business as usual strategy in a time span of about 15 years. Imported fuels with escalating cost will be increasingly substituted by renewable, mostly domestic energy sources. The negative socio-economic impacts of fossil fuel price escalation can be reversed by 2020 if an adequate political and legal framework is established at time. Feed-in tariffs like the German or Spanish Renewable Energy Acts are very effective instruments for the market introduction of renewables. If tariff additions are subsequently reduced to zero, they can be considered a public investment rather than a subsidy. ¾ Solar electricity generated by concentrating solar thermal power stations in MENA and transferred to Europe via high voltage direct current transmission can provide firm capacity for base load, intermediate and peaking power, effectively complementing European electricity sources. Starting between 2020 and 2025 with a transfer of 60 TWh/y, solar electricity imports could subsequently be extended to 700 TWh/y by 2050. High solar irradiance in MENA and low transmission losses of 10-15 % will yield competitive import solar electricity costs of around 0.05 €2000/kWh.

  • Perspectives on Solar Energy, Mining and Agro-Food in Chile
    Chapter 3 Transforming industries: Perspectives on solar energy, mining and agro-food in Chile The shifting global geopolitical and technological landscape coupled with changes in consumers’ preferences is opening up a window of opportunity for Chile. The country could transform its economy, enlarge its knowledge base and increase productivity by leveraging on its natural assets in new, more innovative ways. However, the world is moving fast and opportunities will not be permanently available. To tap into them, a strategic approach and a shared vision between government, business and society is needed. Chile has started to do so through strategic initiatives that identify future opportunities and clarify gaps to be addressed. This chapter presents the Chilean experience in solar energy, mining and agro-food; in each case it presents a snapshot of key trends and future scenarios, developed through multi-stakeholder consultations, it describes the current policy approach and it identifies reforms to move forward.

  • Selling Solar Services As a Contribution to a Circular Economy Katarina Svatikova, Irati Artola, Stephan Slingerland Trinomics Susanne Fischer Wuppertal Institute
    POLICY BRIef NO. 1, DECEMbeR 2015 SELLING SOLAR SERVICES AS A CONTRIBUTION TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY Katarina Svatikova, Irati Artola, Stephan Slingerland Trinomics Susanne Fischer Wuppertal Institute Key messages I The solar services sector sells the service of providing the use of solar electricity to its customer instead of selling solar PV systems (the product). This new business model can be seen as a radical innovation for the solar sector – as it is in other sectors. It is particularly interesting from the perspective of systemic eco-innovation fostering a carbon-free and circular economy. II There are several barriers that prevent the uptake of solar services in Europe. This includes financial barriers – finding a private investor who is willing to provide funding for such an innovative business model is difficult, and public funding might not always be accessible. There are also information and public acceptance barriers – neither the financial stakeholders nor the end customers are aware of the solar service option, understand its mechanisms or see the advantages that this option could offer to them. III The political and policy relevance of selling solar services is clear. Stimulating new business models based on selling ‘services’ instead of ‘products’ is a crucial factor in optimising resource flows in our society. Integration of the solar services debate into wider renewable energy and/or circular economy policies could serve this aim. Several solutions already exist that could mitigate the information and financial barriers identified. Rather than research into new technological solutions, this would require research regarding the possibilities and pitfalls of economic and social innovation towards a circular economy in Europe.
