  3. Share of primary energy sources in electricity generation (2009)

  4. Austrian Green Electricity Act • Before 2003 • Green Electricity Act 2003 • National implementation of Directive 2001/77/EC • Feed-in-tariff System: • guaranteed tariff (amount and duration) • Electricity supplier are obliged to purchasegreen electricity • Funding by: Final customers and suppliers • Amendments of the Act in 2006, 2008 and 2009 • New Green Electricity Act 2012 decided by the Austrian Parliament in July 2011

  5. Targets of the Green Electricity Act 2012 (1) • Targets for additional installations in the period 2010 to 2020: • Hydro Power: 1000 MW (4 TWh p.a.) • Wind: 2000 MW (4 TWh p. a.) • PV: 1200 MW (1.2 TWh p. a.) • Biomass andBiogas: 200 MW (1,2 TWh p. a.) only when supply with ressources can be ensured

  6. Targets of the Green Electricity Act 2012 (2) • Intermediate target for additional installations in the period 2010 to 2015: • Hydro Power: 700 MW (3.4 TWh p.a.) • Wind: 700 MW (1.5 TWh p. a.) • PV: 500 MW (0.5 TWh p. a.) • Biomass andBiogas: 100 MW (0.6 TWh p. a.) only when supply with ressources can be ensured

  7. Green Electricity Settlement Center • Independend company licenced by the Ministry of Economy • Main Tasks: • Purchase of green electricity at fixed prices • Daily assignment of green electricity amounts to the suppliers • Calculation of quotas for all suppliers • Based on the electricity supply to final customers • Handling of applications for subsidies • Signing of contracts with operators of green electricity plants • (2010: overall 7.365 contracts)

  8. Daily assignment of green electricity • Day ahead forecast of green electricity generation • Development of a schedule (15 minutes intervalls) • segmentation of the schedule according tio the quotas of the energy suppliers • Assignment of schedules to the suppliers • Suppliers are obliged to purchase the green electricity; Transfer price is determined in an order of the Ministry of Economy

  9. Promotion mechanism for green electricity Small Hydro Power Feed-in tariff Supplier transfer price SH: 8,09 Cent/kWhOGE: 12,76 Cent/kWh < 10 MW installed cap. Green Electricity Settlement Center BG Feed-in tariff Wind, Biomass, etc Other green electricity power plants DSO TSO Final customers lump sum per metering point Payments BG.. Balancing GroupDSO/TSO.. Network Operator Energy Transfer (green electricity) Energy Transfer (small hydro power)

  10. Development of average feed in tariffs 2003 to 2010

  11. Feed in tariffs for new installations in 2011 • Biomass (solid): • installed capacity < 500 kW….. ……….14, 98 Cent/kWh • 500 kW to 1 MW………………………….13,54 Cent/kWh • 1MW to 1,5 MW………………………….13,10 Cent/kWh • 1,5 MW to 2 MW…………………………. 12,97 Cent/kWh • 2 MW to 5 MW…………………………….12,26 Cent/kWh • 5 MW to 10 MW…………………………..12,06 Cent/kWh • > 10 MW………………………………….10 Cent/kWh • Duration of feed in tariff: 15 year • required minimum efficiency: 60 %

  12. Feed in tariffs for new installations (2011) • Wind power……………………………………….9,7 Cent/kWh • Photovoltaics (rooftop installations.): • > 5kW to 20 kW……………………………..38 Cent/kWh • > 20 kW………………………………………33 Cent/kWh • Photovoltaics (others): • > 5 kW to 20 kW……………………………..35 Cent/kWh • > 20 kW………………………………………..25 Cent/kWh • Biomass (liquid)…………………………………..5,8 Cent/kWh • Biogas: • < 250 kW………………………………………18,5 Cent/kWh • 250 to 500 kW…………………………………16,5 Cent/kWh • > 500 kW……………………………………….13,0 Cent/kWh

  13. Installed capacity of power plants with feed in tariffs

  14. Electricity generation within the feed in tariff system Overall: 5,9 TWh

  15. € 587 Mill. of paid feed in tariffs in 2010

  16. Increase of Wind Power is expected in the next years

  17. Regional distribution of wind farms in Austria Total 1.057 PJ

  18. Regional distribution of Solid Biomass plants

  19. Regional distribution of small hydro power plants

  20. Regional distribution of Biogas plants

  21. Subsidies for small scale PV installations • Installed capacity max. 5 kW • Investment subsidies from KLIEN (National climate and energy fund): • available budget: • 2010: 35 Mill. € • 2011: 45 Mill € • maximum subsidy (max. 30% of investment): • € 1.300 per kW • € 1.800 per kW for building integrated installations • number of subsidised installations: • 2010: 5.886 (overall: 26.9 MW) • 2011: 8546 (overall: 40.6 MW)
