7 Legal and commercial framework (I) Financial support scheme based on Green Certificates (GC). Wind generation receives 2 GC / MWh till 2017 and 1 GC / MWh beginning with Photovoltaic generation receives 6 GC / MWh. Generation from renewable has in principle priority but has to comply with the electricity market rules. The market rules for renewable generation are limiting the commercial potential of the Romanian PS to the mandatory quotas. 7/15

8 Legal and commercial framework (II) The export is not yet allowed but this is expected to change in the near future. Creation of intra-day market it is expected to increase the income for the producers from renewable and also to improve the operation of the Power System. The development of a regional market for renewable and/or reserves would increase the capacity for integration of this type of generation in the PS from the region. A new business opportunity arise: storage of electricity (pump storage, batteries etc.) 8/15

9 Renewable energy needs a financial support scheme Feed in tariff Fixed value of income. Fixed amount of installed power (mainly technical limitations). Countries using this system or similar: Germany, Spain, USA and others. Green Certificates Market driven value of income. Amount of installed power not fixed (market limitations). Countries using this system or similar: UK, Sweden, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy and others. 9/15

12 Technical challenges for the Romanian PS in integrating the renewable The market volume covers around 3000 MW installed power (on mid-term) to 5000 MW installed power (long term). Considering the large volume of existing projects a tough competition can be expected in the near future. Transmission grid needs significant reinforcements and/or smart grid type upgrades. The storage capabilities of the Romanian Power System needs significant reinforcements. 12/15

13 Integrating renewable energy a regional challenge In south-east Europe Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey have high potential for renewable energy. Western Europe experience showed that power flows generated by renewable might be a major challenge for large geographical areas, involving several neighboring countries. Regional cooperation regarding load flows control and reserves capacities might be a helpful. A regional market for renewable energy, grouping countries with high and low potential might be also helpful. 13/15
