1 Wind energy in Europe markets Turkish Wind Energy Congress (TWEC 2012), 7 November 2012, Istanbul Christian Kjaer CEO European Wind Energy Association (EWEA)

2 More than 600 members from almost 60 countries Manufacturers with a leading share of the global wind power market Component suppliers Research institutes National wind and renewable associations Developers Electricity providers Finance and insurance companies Consultants Contractors This combined strength makes EWEA the world s largest and powerful wind energy network

3 EWEA s leading members

6 Three Major Global Challenges Energy crisis and sustained high fuel prices Environmental crisis (IPCC: 25-40% CO2 reduction) Financial and economic crisis And three major European Challenges: App. 350 GW of new electricity generating capacity must be constructed before 2020 (50% of current total) Increasing energy imports at higher and unpredictable cost Ineffective competition in EU power market and insufficient investment in power infrastructure

16 EU Commitment Reduce economy-wide domestic EU GHG emissions by 80-95% in 2050 compared to 2005 In March 2011, the Commission s Climate Roadmap stated that GHG emissions in the power sector need to fall by 93-98% to reduce overall emissions by 80% If zero carbon emissions must be achieved in the power sector by 2050, reality is that no new carbon-emitting power plant can be built after 2015 because of the long lifetime of power stations 12 December 2011, the Commission published its Energy Roadmap to 2050 outlining 5 pathways to decarbonise the EU electricity sector. According to the Roadmap, wind power will meet between 32% and 49% of EU power demand in June 2012, the European Commission published its Renewable Energy Strategy, stating that current policy initiatives are not adequate to achieve our long-term energy and climate policy objectives, while considering post 2020 policy options

17 2. EU regulatory framework 2009 Renewable Energy Directive 1) Binding RES targets - Binding national targets - RES-E target estimated at 34% - Indicative trajectory per Member State 2) Support mechanisms 3) Grids: priority/guaranteed access to the grid and priority dispatch are required 4) Streamlined, transparent and proportionate administrative procedures 3) National Renewable Energy Action Plans include: - Targets per technology - Support mechanism and market design - Administrative procedures - Grid access procedures and grid development plans

18 Renewable Energy Directive Wind energy production - National Renewable Energy Action Plans GW 84.9 GW

19 EU wind power investments, excluding infrastructure (EWEA) : 192 billion, including 66 billion offshore (34%) : 257 billion, including 145 billion offshore (56%)

20 Turkey, a key partner for the European industry Open markets and a level playing field in international trade are key to the European wind power industry More than 48% of EU companies in wind energy sector also have activities outside the EU Positive trade balance bn Exports 6,6 7,8 8,5 8,8 Imports 2,7 3,0 3,2 3,2 Balance 3,9 4,9 5,3 5,6

21 Turkey: a key European market Turkey is an EWEA emerging market since 2009 Growing demand for electricity Good wind resources Ambitious targets Customs Union with EU Open trade is essential to the European wind industry Positive trade balance: 5.6 bn in % of EU companies have activities outside the EU Key concern local content requirement Inefficient allocation of capital with multiplication of production facilities Inefficient supply chains cripple competitiveness Growth of wind industry in EU and Turkey requires: Long term political perspective Comprehensive trade policy favouring reciprocal market access

24 European Commission s Renewable Energy Strategy Published 6 June 2012 current policy initiatives are not adequate to achieve our long-term energy and climate policy objectives it is crucial to consider the options for concrete 2030 milestones Whatever form the post 2020 renewable energy milestones take, they must ensure that renewable energy is part of the European energy market [The milestones] must ensure that Europe maintains its research and industrial leadership globally For this reason, the Commission will also launch proposals for a renewable energy policy regime for the post 2020 period
