1 Ground-mounted PV plants: regulatory framework in France OFATE Conference 07/11/17 Cédric Bozonnat Ministère de la Transition Ecologique et Solidaire Direction générale de l énergie et du climat

2 Photovoltaic development in France December 2016: new objectives for PV adopted in the PPE. Launch of series of tenders: spanning 3 years each. Multi-annual tenders help meeting goals and provide visibility. 2

5 Specificities of the PV Tenders 5

6 Photovoltaic tenders: eligibility criteria Power limitations: depending on each family. Installation s novelty: work on the project has not started yet prior to the tender (european guidelines, incentive effect). Implantation conditions (only for «ground» tender): 1st case: field registered as «urbanized» or «to urbanize». 2nd case: field registered in a natural zone where renewable energies can be developped (clearance not allowed). 3rd case (environnemental bonus): degraded field (landfills, industrial brownfield, polluted area, etc). 6

7 Photovoltaic tenders: ranking Criteria Ground tender Maximum score Rooftop tender Selfconsumption tender Price Carbon impact Environnemental bonus TOTAL Eligibility criteria for the «self-consumption» tender : Carbon impact < 750 kgco2/kwc. 7

8 Photovoltaic tenders: ranking Price: With NP0 = 70 Psup = [ ] /MWh Pinf = [50 95] /MWh Carbon Impact: With NC0 = 30 ECSsup = 700 kgco2/kwc ECSinf = 100 kgco2/kwc ECS stands for «Simplified Carbon Evaluation». The method is described in the tender documentation. It has to be delivered by an accredited organism. 8

9 Photovoltaic tenders: crowdfunding A 3 /MWh bonus is available for candidates engaged in crowdfunding: 40 % of the capital Held by at least a territorial authority or 20 different people Living in the State Department (or in a bordering Department) of implantation of the project If the commitment is not fulfilled, a penalty of -3 /MWh is applied. 9

10 Photovoltaic tenders: Feed-in premium For photovoltaic tenders, the FIP is equal to the «energy premium». Revenues on the capacity market can be internalized by the producer, as well as the management premium. Target income (commercialisation costs included) The producer internalizes this income when bidding Income from capacity mecanism Income from electricity market sales Feed-in Premium = Internalized Management Premium Energy Premium 0 Producer Income Financial support 10

11 Photovoltaic tenders: Feed-in premium The FIP is equal to the Energy Premium: With : Ei is the total number of hours when electricity is sold on the spot market during the month i. T is the price bidded by the applicant. M0i is the market reference price for the month i : calculated as the monthly mean. The production is capped at: 1600 peak sun-hours for classic installations peak sun-hours for installations using tracking systems. 11

12 Photovoltaic tenders: Feed-in premium Potential benefit for the producer if electricity is sold at a better price than the market mean: Situation 1 Situation 2 Target tariff bidded Energy Premium Energy Premium Gain Energy Premium Loss Reference Market Price Income with reference price Income with real price Income with real price 0 12

13 Photovoltaic tenders: Feed-in premium The energy premium is symmetric: /MWh To be reimbursed Target tariff bidded Energy Premium Reference Market Price Income from electricity sold on spot market MWh produced 13

14 Photovoltaic tenders: negative prices occurence Production during negative prices periods is not eligible to the FIP. An allowance is set for installations which didn t produce during negative prices periods: Compensation = 0.5 Te. P. nnegative prices with Te the tariff bidded. P the installation power. nnegative prices is the total number of hours when the installation didn t produce and prices were negative. Because PV is intermittent, every hour is weighted (factor 0.5). 14
