EU energy policy update
2
The European energy strategy: what's already on the table?
Renewables Directive: mandatory targets, national plans grid rules…ETS, reflecting a carbon price to achieve the cap.National (non ETS) emissions reductions strategies and measures 3rd package: unbundling, harmonised grid operation rules, network codes etc.TEN-E priorities and project support Infrastructure package: CEF proposal, planning reformsSmart gridsEnergy Efficiency Measures (including ESCOs)SET plan/R&D/CCS Institutionally: ENTSOs, ACER, CEER…
Development of the longer term framework: 2050, 2030…
3
The share of RES achieves at least 55% in gross final energy consumption in 2050, up 45 percentage points from today's level at around 10%.

Creating the single market:
Regional markets are slowly coming together…The bigger the balancing areas, the easier it is to integrate wind and solar power
7
With a fully functioning single market, we can better integrate renwables – reducing the patchwork, reducing/phasing out support, ensuring fair equal treatment.

Empowering Consumers
• Full opening of retail markets to ensure full consumer choice
• More widespread use of micro-generation
• "smartening" of energy system to enable demand response
• reduced dependence on grid electricity/suppliers
Þ Enhanced public acceptance for renewable energy projects
12
Significant efforts and financial means have gone into energy funding
SET plan sets priorities, seven European Industrial Initiatives
Need to add new priorities: ocean technologies, renewable energy integration (incl. storage), advanced materials and manufacturing for RES technologies
Next Multi-Annual Financial Framework (2014-2020) proposals prioritise "green" energy funding:
- Cohesion funding to allocate some €17 billion to energy efficiency and renewable energy (doubling current allocations)
- Horizon 2020: €6.5 billion is to be allocated to research and innovation in "Secure, clean and efficient energy"
Driving technology innovation

Impact Assessment explores effectiveness of different options at addressing key policy objectives
Renewable energy policy post-2020: business as usual is not an option
Three policy options analysed to fill the gap:
• Decarbonisation without renewable energy targets post-2020
• Binding national renewable energy targets post-2020 and coordinated support
• EU renewable energy target and harmonised measures
14
Next steps. Guidance on support scheme reform. Guidance on the use of the cooperation mechanisms. Measures to facilitate trade in renewable energy in the Mediterranean. Forthcoming communication on Internal Energy Market to discuss electricity market arrangements. 2013 Communication on energy technology. Reports/proposals to further develop the EU's sustainability framework. Progress towards preparing proposals for a post-2020 renewable policy energy regime

Operation
Identified issue Possible solutions
Curtailment
Ensure more legal certainty by introducing a general (or basic) legal framework on:- Curtailment procedure- Responsible bodies- Priorities for RES-E technologies- Rights and duties of affected stakeholders- Compensation system
19
Development
Identified issues Possible solutions
RES-E not sufficiently considered in grid development
Conclusion of unbundling process;Installation of independent body to support RES-E; Involvement of stakeholders
No obligation to reinforce the grid Introduction of clear legal obligation in national law
Lack of incentives or regulatory instruments
Introduction of measures to create more comparability and transparency;
Introduction of regulatory measures that incentivise efficient investment, e.g.:- Introduction of priority premiums;- Counting of investments in same regulatory period;- Abolishment of minimum levels;- Nation-wide cost allocation system for DSO
- Harmonisation of regulatory regimes;
20
Identified issues Possible solutions
Long lead times & complex procedures
Identification of existing inefficiencies;Introduction of qualitative deadlines (e.g. “promptly”);Reduction of workload for public administration and/or grid operators;Harmonisation and simplification of grid connection requirements.
Lack of grid capacity / different pace of grid and RES-E development
Better coordination between grid & RES-E development;Collection of data on RES-E development from national registries and collection of data on development targets;Consideration of RES-E data in TYNDP[1] and in all national plans.
Virtual saturation & Speculation Definition of milestones in grid connection procedure;Introduction of grid reservation fees.
Lack of communication, and weak position of RES-E plant operator
Initialisation of exchange programs and communication platforms through projects at EU level;
Encouraging stakeholders at MS level to participate in exchange programs and communication platforms, as well as to appoint contact persons.
Non-shallow costs
Process to define adequate distribution of costs at MS level to ensure investment security;Funding through EU budgets in case of interconnectors with European significance.
