1 Implementation of the RES-Directive at national level Christine Lins Secretary General European Renewable Energy Council ESTIF workshop Brussels, 2nd December 2009

2 EREC European Renewable Energy Council Umbrella organisation of the EU renewable energy industry: AEBIOM EBB EBIO EGEC EPIA ESHA ESTIF EUBIA EWEA EUREC Agency EU EU--OEA EREF ESTELA European Biomass Association European Biodiesel Board European Bioethanol Industry Association European Geothermal Energy Council European Photovoltaic Industry Association European Small Hydropower Association European Solar Thermal Industry Federation European Biomass Industry Association European Wind Energy Association European Renewable Energy Research Centres Agency European Ocean Energy Association European Renewable Energy Federation European Solar Thermal Electricity Association

3 The EU policy by % -20% -20% +20% 8,5% Greenhouse gas levels Energy consumption Renewables in energy mix

4 RES Contribution to Final Energy Consumption (Mtoe) 2005 Eurostat TYPE OF ENERGY Final Energy Consumption* (Trends to 2030) (Combined RES and EE) 2006 Eurostat % Eurostat % 1213 AGR % % AGR needed % ,378 1, Electricity** Heating and Cooling Transport biofuels Total Renewable Energy *Including electricity and steam transmission/distribution losses and own consumption **Normalised for hydro and wind TARGET

5 Renewable Energy Technology Roadmap 20 % by % RES electricity 25 % RES heating & cooling 10 % biofuels

6 Final Energy Consumption by Sector 20% 20 % Electricity (incl. cooling) 31 % Transport 31% 49 % Heat (without cooling) 49% Source: Eurostat figures elaborated by EREC

7 National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs) NREAPs detail the measures taken by Member States to meet their 2020 targets. Member States will set sectoral targets in the NREAPs for the electricity, heating & cooling and transport sectors. Member States have to notify their action plans to the Commission by June NREAPs will provides policy stability for investment.

8 Template for NREAPs The Commission has issued a template for the National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP). Objectives of the template: Guide Member States in the drafting of the NREAPs Ensure completeness Ensure comparability with each other and with future reports Make follow up easier

9 The content of the NREAPs (Annex VI) 1. Summary of national renewable energy policy 2. Expected final energy consumption 3. Targets and trajectories (national and sectoral) 4. Measures for achieving the targets 5. Assessments

10 Enforcement Not through a penalty regime like ETS, but through infringement proceedings, from 2010 for failure to produce an credible national action plan failure to implement all aspects of the Directive significant deviation from plan or trajectory valid complaints from any EU citizens regarding incorrect implementation or enforcement by Member States Infringement proceedings are the usual tool for enforcing EU law. They are effective: Most cases are resolved (corrective action taken by Member States) well before reaching Court.

11 Transparency Platform The Commission established an online public transparency platform which will feature: The 27 National Action Plans offers to cooperate on statistical transfers or joint projects Commission s reports under this Directive

12 Key Dates for Implementation December 2009: Member States release their forecast documents 30 June 2010: Member States notify the Commission of their national action plans December 2010: Member States must have transposed into national legislation the RES Directive.

13 REPAP 2020 Objective: Facilitate the process of implementation of the RES Directive on a national level 2 phases: before notification of National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs) to the European Commission: April 2009 June 2010 after notification of National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs) to the European Commission: July 2010 September 2011

14 Consortium EU partners: EREC (coordinator) EUFORES National Association partners: APER, Italy APREN, Portugal BEE, Germany EDORA, Belgium PIGEO, Poland REA, UK SERO, Sweden SER, France Scientific partners: Fraunhofer Energy Economics Group (EEG) Kuhbier law firm Project duration: 30 months (1st April th September 2011)

15 RES INDUSTRY-LED ACTIVITIES POLICY ACTIVITIES

16 REPAP 2020 RES Industry-led activities (EREC) National RES association network Initiation of national debates on NREAPs among stakeholders National RES Industry Roadmaps Policy activities (EUFORES) Parliamentarians Network on RES Competence Centre on NAPs

17 National RES association network Objective: Increase dialogue and cooperation between existing national RES associations to enable them to learn from each other s best practices Motivate the creation of new national RES associations in countries where such bodies do not exist (by bringing together different national actors & highlighting the benefits for a more structured collaboration) Creation of a network of national renewable energy associations to facilitate information exchange

18 Animation of National RES association network Policy workshops Policy briefings Intranet Annual networking seminars Facilitation of national RES conferences

19 National RES industry roadmaps Main task: develop roadmaps for each of the 27 MS Involve the viewpoint of national stakeholders Roadmaps will serve as a lobbying tool for national stakeholders for getting ambitious National Renewable Energy Action Plans.

20 Process to develop the RES industry roadmaps Task: Drafting 27 RES National Roadmaps A draft structure was developed taking up questions from NREAP template from European Commission. Draft roadmaps prepared by national associations and scientists. Validation workshops between October and February 2010 Task: Validation workshops Distribute draft roadmaps for discussion with national stakeholders Inclusion of comments of discussion in final roadmap Compilation of the 27 national roadmaps into an EU RES roadmap

21 Dates validation workshops France: 16 October 2009 (electricity) (Paris) Luxemburg: 26 October 2009 (Luxemburg) Poland: 27 October 2009 (Warsaw) Germany: 12 November 2009 (Berlin) Italy: 24 November 2009 (Milan) UK: 3 December 2009 (London) France: 15 December 2009 (heating) (Paris) Austria: 21 December 2009 (Vienna) Spain: 18 January 2010 (Madrid) Portugal: 19 January 2010 (Lisbon) Sweden: 27 January 2010 (Stockholm)
