The German Energiewende

The German Energiewende

• Tsunami in Japan on 10 March 2011Tsunami in Japan on 10 March 2011

• Immediate shut-down of eight nuclear power plants in Germany (14 March 2011), complete move to nuclear-free electricity until 2022,

• Switch to renewable energies: 35% of electricity consumption in 2020, 50% until 2030 and 80% until 2050.

( )

• This is called Energiewende (energy turnaround).

• Regional and local Governments now even try to exceed these quotas. • Main instrument to foster build-out: feed-in-tariffs set by Parliament, • Feed-in tariffs are guaranteed for 20 years, g y ,

• Transmission line operators are required by law to purchase all

• Philosophy: Reimburse producers (cost incl adequate rate of return)Philosophy: Reimburse producers (cost incl adequate rate of return), • This has now lead to a system of about 4000 different feed-in-tariffs

because costs differ due to

• Technology (solar, wind, bio mass, hydro, geothermal), • Location (on-shore/off-shore wind, solar on roofs/land), • Time of construction,

• Generation capacity

T i i li t h t h ll l t i it f

• Transmission line operators have to purchase all electricity from renewable energies and sell it on at the electricity exchange

• The difference between feed-in-tariff and revenue from sale at electricityThe difference between feed in tariff and revenue from sale at electricity exchange is borne by consumers, as a levy on every kwh.

Alternative: A Renewable Quota Obligation

 Obligation on (a) electricity retailers, (b) electricity users which import,

generate or buy electricity on wholesale markets, and (c) electricity-intensive firms to use x % of green electricity per year (example: Sweden).

 To the extent to which electricity-intensive firms purchase electricity from retailers they do not need to fulfill the quota obligation (to avoid a double“ retailers they do not need to fulfill the quota obligation (to avoid a „double obligation)

G ( ) f f

 Green electricity generators receive a (tradable) green certificate for every 100 kWh of electricity they produce.

(15)

A Renewable Quota Obligation

 Starting on 1 January 2015 an additional z % of green electricity can be added per year z=(35-B)/6, where B is the percentage of green electricity in 2013. If B was 26%, then we had z=1,5 % additional per year.

 Duty to fulfill obligation is demand side in wholesale electricity markets.  Duty to connect generators to the grid and distribution networks remains.  No ex post change for green electricity plants built until 31 December 2014..

(16)

A Renewable Quota Obligation

 To fulfill their quota electricity retailers can produce green electricity on their own, purchase green electricity or simply purchase green certificates

 Obliged firms can contract for green electricity as they see fit.

 If firms fail to fulfill their obligations a penalty must be paid (e.g., 150% of average certificate price)

 Advantage 2: Electricity retailers compete for customers – concern for cost efficiency.

 Advantage 3: Competition between contractual forms (unlike in case of public procurement).

 Advantage 4: Self- consumed electricity can be rewarded with greenAdvantage 4: Self consumed electricity can be rewarded with green certificates.

 Advantage 5: Partial quotas (e.g., for offshore wind) can be added. ff

Market Monitoring

Market Monitoring

European level (ACER)p ( )

Conclusions

Conclusions

• The current system of purely national (apart from Sweden/Norway) subsidy schemes for renewable energies jeopardizes the European subsidy schemes for renewable energies jeopardizes the European integration of power markets

• Huge efficiency gains are lost, as green electricity is produced i ffi i l

inefficiently

• A European quota system could heal many of the weaknesses of the current subsidy schemes based on national feed-in tariffs

current subsidy schemes based on national feed in tariffs

• Capacity mechanisms should not be designed at the national level, but rather at a regional (supranational) level to account for the extent of European power markets

• Similarly, market monitoring is a European task rather than a national one as electricity markets are no longer national
