1 Climate friendly, reliable, affordable: 100% renewable electricity supply by 2050 Prof. Dr. Olav Hohmeyer German Council of Environmental Advisors (SRU) CDREN workshop Perspectives on hydropower s role to balance non-regulated renewable power production in Northern Europe Düsseldorf, December 15 th 16 th, 2010

2 Structure of the presentation The SRU scenarios The potential for renewable electricity generation Structure of a 100% renewable electricity generation Security of supply and the cooperation with Norway The impact on the Norwegian hydro system Transmission capacity required Costs of the system in 2050 The pathway from 2010 to 2050 Cost comparison: Conventional versus renewable electricity Conclusions 2

It leads to 53 TWh/a of overproduction. 9

10 Electricity production and storage in DE-DK-NO (Scenario 2.1.a DE/DK/NO) The Norwegian system supplies the necessary storage! Practically no overproduction remaining! 10

11 The Norwegian situation in 2050 with 100% national renewable electricity Scenario 2.1.a (ex- and imports not shown) Norwegian electricity production in 2050 in TWh/a (no exports or imports show n) MW Hydrogen discharging CAES discharging Pumped hydro discharging Residual load CSP PV Wind offshore Wind onshore Gaseous biomass Solid biomass Hydro Reservoir Run off river hydro Geothermal, CHP Geothermal Surplus Pumped hydro charging CAES Charging Hydrogen charging Load hour 11

21 Renewable electricity is the lowest cost long term solution (2.1.a Germany) Development of electricity production cost (Scenario 2.1a) 20 Conventional electricity, strong price increase 15 Cost of renewable electricity including storage and grid costs cent/kwh 10 5 Conventional electricity, moderate price increase Year Conventional electricity production costs (high increase) Conventional electricity production cost (moderate increase) Cost of renewable electricity including storage and transport Storage and international HVDC transport cost HVDV grid in Germany 21

22 Cost of climate protection 2,7-3,7 c/kwh during the most expensive years The cost changes in Germany 8 Difference between new average elctricity production cost including renewables and conventional production cost (based on scenario 2.1a including storage and national as well as international grid extension) 6 Cost compared to moderate price increase in conventional power production (max. 3,7 c/kwh) Compared to high price increase in conv. (max. 2,7 c/kwh) 4 2 cent/kwh Year Difference in average electricity production cost of scenario 2.1.a to high conventional price path Difference in average electricity production costs of scenario 2.1.a to low conventional price path 22

23 Conclusions 100% renewable electricity supply for Germany and Europe is possible by 2050 (2030 if needed) The system will mainly be based on wind and solar Storage and transmission will be crucial Pump storage will be in great demand Norway will become a unique swing provider for the European system due to its hydro resource We can start with bilateral cooperation 23

24 The sooner we start a cooperation, the sooner we will be able to solve the climate problem! Thank you very much for your attention 24
