4 GWh Status of Hydro Power in Europe Structure of installed electricity generation capacity in EURELECTRI C Europe in 2009 Total Other Renewables 12% Hydro 20% Electricity from renewable energy sources in EU % 58 % Nuclear 15% Conventional Total RES Hydro power Wind power Thermal Biomass incl. waste Photovoltaic Solar thermal power 53% Source: Hydro in Europe. Powering Renewables, Eurelectric, 2011 Geothermal power Source: Eurostat, 2012 Hydro power represents 20 % of installed generation capacity (17 % in EU-27) still amounts to 58 % of electricity generation from RES Hydro power is the major renewable energy source in Europe: competitive, efficient, climate-friendly VGB-Kongress Kraftwerke 2012 Verbund / RWE SEITE 4

5 GW Characteristics of Large Hydro Power Hydro power provides flexibility, mainly in storage and pumped storage power plants Voltage regulation and spinning reserve Scenario 2020: impact of volatile renewables Frequency regulation and response demand Quick und black start capability Compensation of load gradients residual load Back up and reserve 0-10 electricity surplus renewables scaled to 49 GW Wind, 54 GW PV Source: Hydro power supports the integration of volatile renewables by providing balancing and ancillary services VGB-Kongress Kraftwerke 2012 Verbund / RWE SEITE 5

6 Current Framework for Hydro Power in Europe Energy Directive for promotion of electricity production from renewables /77/EG European Strategy for Security of Power Supply Targets Increasing generation of volatile renewable energy sources (wind, photovoltaic) High flexibility of hydro power plants facilitates the further development of other renewable energy sources Hydro power will account for 30 % of total RES generation in 2020 Hydro power helps to mitigate climate change VGB-Kongress Kraftwerke 2012 Verbund / RWE SEITE 6

7 Current Framework for Hydro Power in Europe Environment Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EG Fauna-Flora-Habitat-Directive 92/43/EWG Birds Directive 79/409/EWG Natura 2000 management plans Licensing procedures more complex, expensive and time-consuming Increased need for project communication and involvement of affected parties Technological developments to reduce environmental impacts Developing the remaining hydro power potential (600 TWh/a in Eurelectric Europe) involves a high effort VGB-Kongress Kraftwerke 2012 Verbund / RWE SEITE 7

17 Conclusion Large hydro power potential can still be developed in Europe Hydro power is of great importance for achieving the ambitious European RES targets Needs for further development of hydro power (acc. EURELCTRIC): Promote awareness among policymakers and wider public of hydropower s key role Promote with all possible means the sustainable development of remaining hydro resources Develop efficient interconnections and grids to ensure large-scale benefits from pumped storage for the entire European electricity system Ease permitting process Harmonize the implementation of water and energy related EU policy instruments Formalize cross sector collaboration between DG Energy, DG Environment and DG Climate on hydro power VGB-Kongress Kraftwerke 2012 Verbund / RWE SEITE 17
