1 Energy and Climate Policy in the EU the question about the future of the coal Poland s perspective Waldemar Łagoda Department of Energy Ministry of Energy of Poland r. ul. Krucza 36/Wspólna Warszawa faks me@me.gov.pl

2 Polish Energy Policy - key directions of development Optimal usage of internal energy sources Enhancement of power infrastructure Diversified fuel supply along with infrastructure development Energy markets development Nuclear energy implementation RES development Heat and CHP development Improving energy efficiency of the economy

3 Present electrical energy generation mix of Poland, 2016

4 Balance of primary energy 2017 (left) and primary energy demand according to reference scenario (right) [EC 2015] Poland [Mtoe] hard coal lignite crude oil natural gas RES other solid fuels crude oil natural gas nuclear electricity RES

5 Structure of installed capacity in Poland [MW] 60,000 [MW] DSR 50,000 New power plants diesel engines or gas turbines New CCGT (Combined Cycle Gas Turbine) 40,000 New hard coal / lignite power plants, nuclear power plant 30,000 20,000 Currently constructed (Płock, Żerań, Stalowa Wola, Włocławek) CCGT Existing and currently constructed (Turów) lignite power plants. Currently constructed (Jaworzno, Kozienice, Opole) hard coal power plants, without Ostrołęka C Existing hard coal power plants 10,000 Existing land-based wind farm* Hydropower New wind farms Biogas and biomass stations (two layers) PV NP Combined heat and power stations New combined heat and power stations and condensing units * Assuming specified, finite lifetime

7 Transmission system and the most recent coal power plants investments in Poland Opole pp., unit 5 and 6, 900 MWe each, 45,6 % eff. commision in 2019 Ostrołęka, unit C, pp., around 1000 MWe, commision planned for 2024; last coal fired pp. in Poland Kozienice pp., 1075 MWe, eff. 45,6 %, commisioned in 2017; Turów pp., new unit, 400 MWe, commission in 2020 Jaworzno pp., 910 MWe, 45 % eff. commision in 2019; 7

8 Clean Energy for All Europeans new direction of European Energy and Climate Policy from the year 2020 onwards 8

9 So called Winter package, dated 2016 On 30 November 2016, the European Commission presented a new package of measures with the goal of providing the stable legislative framework needed to facilitate the clean energy transition and thereby taking a significant step towards the creation of the Energy Union. Aimed at enabling the EU to deliver on its Paris Agreement commitments, the 'Clean Energy for All Europeans' proposals are intended to help the EU energy sector become more stable, more competitive,and more sustainable, and fit for the 21st century.

10 Three main goals of the new climate and energy policy in EU Putting energy efficiency first Achieving global leadership in renewable energies Providing a fair deal for consumers It has the potential to be good for consumers, paving the way to lower consumer bills, a better quality of life at home and in the workplace, and more opportunities for individuals to produce their own clean energy. By embracing renewables and other new and innovative technologies they also have the potential to be good for the environment by delivering on new emissions targets for By achieving these aims, this package can also maximise EU leadership in the clean energy transition and in the fight against climate change, and help non- EU countries achieve their policy goals.

11 Regulation proposals - influence on the energy mix of Member States Obligation to increase RES share in final energy consumption Several legislative proposals Renewable Energy Energy Efficiency Governance of the Energy Union Electricity Market Design Rules for the regulator ACER Energy Performance in Buildings Energy consumption controlled Targets covering all dimensions of Energy Union 550g CO2/kwh emissions limits in electricity generation as a requirement for prospect financial support

12 550g CO2/kwh emissions limits Concept that is under discussion in the framework of Electricity Market Design Regulation Poland is able to fulfill it when counted for the whole electricity generation system In general, it may cause issues for all Member States which are still having significant share of old coal technologies in generation sector What is needed in the light of new policies coming into power? 12

13 Clean Coal Technologies Satisfy the need of cleaner energy from coal Support renewal of old generation capacity fired by coal Help to meet new targets of energy and climate policy on the EU level by using national assets and staying cost-effective

14 EU level targets and obligations based on Winter Package (to date) : RES target binding on EU level 32% of final energy consumption Energy efficiency headline target on the EU level 32,5% of primary energy consumption GHG reduction target binding on the EU level 40% comparing to the level from 1990 Electricity interconnection target 15% set on the EU level

15 National Energy and Climate Plans reporting document legally based on Governance regulation of the EU Winter Package Key features: Comprehensive reporting document covering all Energy Union dimensions Integrated tool to make Energy Union come true by delivering its targets in the perspective of 2030 and beyond Obligation for each Member State of the European Union Strong supervision of European Commision Member states contributions to the overall goals based on the commitments Member States are obliged to submit final version of the Plans by the 1st of January

16 National Energy and Climate Plans (NECP) - chief executive and reporting tool for 5 dimensions of European Energy Union Research, innovation and competitiveness Energy security, solidarity and trust Decarbonisation of the economy Energy efficiency to combat energy demand increase Fully integrated european energy market

17 Decarbonization of the economy - key element in the Climate and energy policy of the European Union Comprises of two main aspects: GHG emissions reduction RES development ETS system Non- ETS targets - Heat - Transport - Electricity

18 What Poland, EU Energy&Climate policy and Paris agreement have in common? Poland s objectives for COP24 in Katowice 2018: o o o o Climate neutrality instead of decarbonisation Protection of the environment with attention to specifity of national economies Maintaining Paris Agreement global Promotion of climate neutrality based on carbon absorption by forests (the concept of forest carbon farms) and soils
