1 Energy and Environmental Tools and Project Evaluation Lecture 3: Employment and balance of trade analyses Poul Alberg Østergaard Course programme 1. Fundamental investment theory (h + h - PAØ). Feasibility studies, Discount rates and the time perspective (h+h - FH) 3. Employment and balance of trade analyses (h+h - PAØ). Environmental problems in energy supply (h - PAØ) 5. Environmental Impact Assessment (h + 1h - IL). Strategic EIA in energy projects (h IL) 7. Externalities (h + 1h - FH). Feasibility studies and public regulation (h + 1h - FH) 9. Introduction to mini projects (1/ h PAØ). Mini project case on biogas plant in groups (h) 11. Presentation and discussion of mini projects (h - PAØ & FH) 1

2 Programme Methodology, assumptions and conditions Method of data collections and calculations Examples: Green Energy Plan for Denmark Danish Economic Council Aalborg Energy Vision (Energy and employment in Europe) (PKK in Thailand) 3 Some definitions Costs: Either Import or Domestic added value (Labour or production factor income) GNP (Gross National Product) = Domestic production in market prices Public Finances: Government income and expenditures (Tax, subsidies, etc )

3 Import Present Value Methodology All costs are divided into a) import costs and b) domestic labour costs Only import costs are included in the calculation (domestic labour enters at zero) Assumptions/Condition Knowledge of import shares Unemployment in all categories in all the period (watch out for bottlenecks!) Strict Income policy / monetary policy (all surplus used to pay back foreign debt). Deficit on the balance of payment / foreign debt. 5 Example: What is the cost of building a power plant? From a company perspective? From a society perspective? 3

7 Urban modernization Conversion from electrical heating A general activity for improving insulation (including large urban areas where low-temperature district heating can be established) Change from individual natural gas fired boilers to CHP district heating Decentralised use of straw and wood fuels Large-scale biogas plants 3 MW wind power in year 15 % reduction in electricity consumption in the industrial sector by means of employee training 13 Analyses in the Green Energy Plan: Technical analysis: Energy System and investment analysis Employment analysis: Jobs and the balance of Payment Public finance (Government budget) 7

12 Danish Economic Council Case of Cost Benefit Analysis Sunk Costs Employment - Import Analysis 3 Costs Env Total Benefit Billion kroners Flue gas purification Small-scale cogeneration of heat and power Privately owned in-land wind turbines Utility-owned inland wind turbines Use of biomass Subsidies for renewable energy Subsidy for connection to district heating networks Refiting old house for district heating Refitting old and electrically heated houses for district heating Subsidies for commercial energy savings Agreements with industry about savings (lowered CO-tax) Energy labelling og buildings Total costs of energy policy measures NPV199-1 referenced to Discount rate of %

13 Conclusions Danish 199 Energy Policies have not been cost effective Recommendation: Socio economic feasibility studies (Cost Benefit Analysis) should be used more in the Energy and Environmental Sector. 5 Consequences of calculation methodology: Case: MW small CHP constructed in the period : Construction costs in marked prices: 5.3 billion DKK. In the CBA calculation: Cost = app. billion DKK. 13

14 Important Assumption - Sunk Cost Electricity production from wind turbines only save fuel cost, since excess capacity is assumed in the calculation 7 Results of the cost benefit analysis Cost-Benefit Analyse Milliader kroner 5 Cost Benefit Small Dec scale k/v CHP Privately Vind owned (privat) wind power Vind Utility (elværk) owned wind power Invest. d&v Skatteforvrid.

16 About the export of wind technology of annual approximately billion DKK: It is of no importance, whether a given production is made for domestic or export markets Nowadays international capital markets are rather well functioning. Thus any need for foreign currency to pay for import can be available via foreign loans. 31 Case 3: The Aalborg Energy Vision 5 Yearly costs [Million ] 3 Electricity trade CO-tax Operation and Maintenance Fuel Investment - rail Investment 5 % RE 5 Reference - 3 1
