  1. Renewable Energy in Europe- Current Status and Outlook - Rainer Hinrichs-Rahlwes- EREF President - Warsaw, CEOC-Conference – 30th of May, 2011

  2. About EREF • Federation of associations from EU Member States, working in the sector of energy produced from renewable sources • Representing more than 50,000 MW of installed power capacity and a growing capacity in other sectors • Voice of Independent Producers of Energy from Renewables • Member of EREC (European Renewable Energy Council)

  3. New power capacity installed, EU 2009 Renewable Energy: 62%

  4. New installed power capacity per year (MW)

  5. Still: Barriers must be removed Market distortions,dominanceof incumbent industry, lack of internalising externalities and intransparent procedures and administrative barriers are important reasons for relatively slow market penetration of renewable energy. • These barriers have to be removed. • Strong political will andeffective and cost efficient support mechanisms are necessary.

  6. Support Schemes should ... • … pave the way for market introduction and market penetration of different forms of RES. • … foster rapid increase of deployment of RES. • … encourage and trigger cost reduction. • Removal of administrative barriers and transparent and efficient support mechanisms are key elements for providing investment security for future oriented industry.

  7. The Renewables Directive (2009/28/EC) • Milestone for mainstreaming renewable energy • All sectors: electricity, heating & cooling, transport • 2020: 20% Renewables in EU’s final energy • Binding national targets • Key role of national support systems • Cooperation Mechanisms • National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs) • Regular reports (MS and EC) • Full and ambitious implementation is crucial

  8. RES-targets for 2020

  9. RED: Time for implementation • RED agreed by a vast majority in Council and Parliament • Transposition into national law – some delay • All NREAPs eventually submitted – different levels of ambition and comprehensiveness • Commission to evaluate, follow-up, and – where necessary – start infringement procedures

  10. Provides an EU overview of the NREAPs • Compares the 2020 NREAPs projections for RES developments with the RES industry projections • Provides evaluation of the NREAPs based on the national associations‘ input.

  11. 20% by 2020 – Europe can do more! • EU-27: Surplus of about 1% above the 2020 target • 25 MS forecast to achieve or exceed their binding 2020 targets within national borders • Only Italy and Luxembourg plan to use CoopMex to meet binding 2020 targets • According to the RES industry projections, the EU-27 could reach 24.4% Source: EREC_EU Roadmap

  12. RES increase by sector (%)NREAPs projections 34.3%

  13. Renewables in the Electricity Mix 2020

  14. Renewables in Heating & Cooling 2020

  15. Renewables in the Transport Mix 2020

  16. RES increase by sector (%)RES Industry projections

  17. How to achieve minus 80-95% of Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2050?

  18. Policy Recommendations • Effective and ambitious implementation of the RES Directive • Stable and reliable national support schemes • Ambitious framework to reduce Europe’s energy demand • Level playing field in the energy market, new market design • Important role of decentralised and distributed generation, smart infrastructure development • Coherent strategy for an energy system fully based on renewables • Phasing out all subsidies for fossil and nuclear energy • NEXT STEP: Binding renewable energy target for 2030

  19. Thank you for listening! Looking forward to your questions and comments! www.eref-europe.org info@eref-europe.org rainer.hinrichs@bee-ev.de
