Where do we stand now?
Primary Energy use in electricity, heat & transport
3
Total energy amount: 100 000 ktoe (1150 TWh), (4150 PJ)
RES 7%
gas 12%
oil
21%
lignite coal 12%
 Coal represents much higher share in the electricity sector (up to 94 %)
Where do we stand now in RES?
Gross final energy consumption

Final consumption: ca. 65 000 ktoe (750 TWh), (2700 PJ)

Is it really not much to do to reach the target?
We start not from 8%, but from 1% of RES to reach 15% in 2020

How to reach the target in 2020 in Poland?
Existing support mechanisms for renewables in Poland
8
green certificates
RES unit is in operation
grant subsidies
RES unit is in a development process
How to reach the target in 2020 in Poland?
Support mechanisms – green certificates

national funds
provided for electricity from RES
for all new and old RES installations connected to the grid and
licensed
no dependence on RES technology
no dependence on RES installed capacity
no dependence on efficiency
all producers (if the above are met) can receive only if the
obligations are projected properly
the mechanism exists up to 2017. It could be prolonged !? So
who is going to invest now?
What in fact is the outcome of the green certificates!?

The production increases mainly due to cofiring of biomass with coal
More than 50% (in total of PLN 3 billion/y) of the support does not move
into new investments
What in fact is the outcome of the green certificates!?
Share of biomass not cofired with coal in final RES electricity produc.

How to reach the target in 2020 in Poland?
Support mechanisms – grant subsidies
12

mainly the EU funds from Operational Programmes (ERDF&CF)

new RES based on electricity, heat and transport are supported

excluded are: PV, electrical geothermy !? and cofiring

criteria of evaluation are the same for all RES !?

support up to 70% of eligible expenditure !? Banks consider this as a
risky funds

but limit for 1 project up to PLN 40 million

long-lasting and bureaucratic competition procedure leads to numerous
infringements of legal provisions and erroneous decisions

Lodging an appeal instrument does not suspend the competition course
!?

available allocation is limited, so only selected projects can be supported
By such support mechanism can the target be achieved?
Grant subsidies: how the firs call under 9.4 OPI&E is realised?
13
The closed competitions for co-financing announced by the Implementing Authority
was 14th April 2009
Until today: the evaluation is not fulfilled !
Applicant has only 7 days to make any possible clarifications of application’
documentations. If deadline is exceeded the applicants are deleted from
a ranking list for subsidies.
But there is no, in fact, limit time for evaluation by the Implementing Authority.
The appeal procedure does not stop the evaluation in order to not cause any
additional delays.
This is acceptable only if the applicant has no right!
In case when Implementing Authority is wrong, this means that despite of the
effective filing of an appeal, the applicant may run out of funds.
By such support mechanism can the target be achieved?
Grant subsidies: how the firs call under 9.4 OPI&E is realised?
14
Whether there are only dissatisfied investors?
No, those which received 70% of eligible costs to co-financed the RES
project do not criticize the evaluation’ criteria. PIGEO proposed 20% for
wind, for example, to grant much more projects. But it’s not the case!
Why the Program provide a possibility to support RES project up to 70% ?!
Because of small projects !?
BUT is the € 14,3 million project a SMALL PROJECT ?
Is this true that more than 50% of applications are represented
by a low quality?

But what is the reality ?
For doing business in Poland: Word Bank ranking for 183 countries
16
criteria for ranking
What will be the future of RES regulations?
17
The Government
is obliged (under 2009/28/EC Directive) to adopt
new Law on renewable energy sources.
This had to be done up to 5th of December, 2010 with all
regulations/ordinances !
Up today there are even no assumptions of the Act !
Can we reach the target by specified
mechanisms ?
18
These are not the ways to reach the target !
What are our expectations?
19
Improvements in administrative procedures
Environmental impact assessment, construction permit, spatial planning.
Access to the grid
Priority grid access for large units and guaranteed access for small should be
ensured. A transparent mechanism for connection requirements and for sharing
of the cost of connection between RES producer and operator.
The introduction of a stable and long-term support mechanisms
For at least 15 years from the start of operation, which in terms of achieving the
objective for 2020 corresponds to its operation until 2035. In order to ensure that
all RES technologies are promoted, a well designed feed-in-tariff system should
be implemented.
The introduction of sustainable use of biomass for energy purposes
What are our expectations for grants?
Aid funds are limited and the target is established
20
The subsidies should provide many new and effective installed capacities from RES: a
specified level of support for different technologies (e.g. 20% for wind, 35% for biogas) and no
limit for one project.
The procedure of the application evaluation should be reduced to the assessment of the
disposal of three documents only:
1. Final building permit,
2. Valid technical terms and conditions for grid connection or other document
confirming the connection/possibility of connection of RES to the grid,
3. Confirmation of the possibility of investment financing given by a bank statement
detailing financial means available on a bank account, or by a bank’s promise or a
Credit Agreement.
The conclusion
21
According to Article 3, paragraph 2 of the 2009/28/EC
Directive:
“Member States shall introduce measures effectively
designed to ensure that the share of energy from
renewable sources equals or exceeds that shown in the
indicative trajectory set out in part B of Annex I.”
... the rest will be done by investors.
Thank you for your attention
