Up until 31 December 2011 Sweden reached an increase of 13.3 TWh Swedish wind power capacity has increased rapidly since the government renewable energy target was set in 2002 and the certificate market was established. Current installed capacity is ~10 TWh or ~4,500 MW Since 1 January 2012, Sweden and Norway have a common market for electricity certificates. The goal is to increase renewable production by 26.4 TWh jointly, i.e. 13.2 TWh per country. Sweden added a total of 2.8 TWh in 2012 of which 68% was wind power In 2009 the Swedish Government set a planning frame of 30 TWh wind power by 2020, comprising of 20 TWh onshore and 10 TWh offshore Another 10.4 TWh is still to be added until 2020 (including 2013) Wind power growth will thus be integral in reaching the targets set out by the Swedish government Source: Swedish Energy Agency 10 Reserv 11 Rule of thumb Megawatt (MW) = Capacity measure – 1 wind turbine generator (WTG) 1.6-3.0 MW Megawatt hour (MWh) = Energy (production) measure – 1 MW wind power 2,400 – 3,600 MWh in a full year – 1,000,000 MWh = 1,000 GWh = 1 TWh – 1 TWh ~ 135 WTG á 2.5 MW Swedish long-term target framework for wind power is 30 TWh − Of which 20 TWh onshore wind power (3,000 – 5,000 WTG’s) Investment cost − ~ EUR 1.5 million / MW − ~ EUR 3-4 million / WTG 12 Our conclusions Mid and long term Nordic price development Power prices: - Mid term: Side wards: Price development on coal sets the scene as well as industrial energy consumption in Europe - Long term: Up: Need for new production capacity due to aging nuclear fleet in Sweden, new interconnectors to regions with higher power prices. To attract new capacity the power price has to increase Certificate prices: - Mid term: Up: Proposed quota increase by the authority will reduce current surplus and increase price. Positive political momentum - Long term: ?: Depending on how the demand for new environmental friendly production develops 13 The Swedish national grid and bidding areas The Swedish national grid The Swedish electricity grid can be divided into three levels: local grids, regional transmission grids and the national transmission grid Svenska Kraftnät manages Sweden's national grid, which includes about 15,000 km transmission lines, substations and international 400 and 220 kV interconnectors Efficiency, safety and the long-term planning are three primary aims. Expansion planning, maintenance and operational supervision are required to fulfil this As system operator, Svenska Kraftnät is responsible for maintaining balance in the power system The four bidding areas In November 2011, Svenska Kraftnät divided the Swedish electricity market into four bidding areas The decision to introduce bidding areas was part of the EU’s attempt to create a common European electricity market The borders between the bidding areas are drawn where there are congestions in the national grid for electricity The bidding areas help identify where in Sweden the national grid needs to be expanded and where increased electricity production is required to better meet regional consumption and thus reduce the need to transport electricity long distances The surplus demand in Southern Sweden and surplus supply in Northern Sweden, in combination with limited grid capacity, leads to, on average, slightly higher prices in the southern part of the country In addition, producers in generation deficit regions generally receive a grid benefit versus a grid cost in surplus regions Source: Svenska Kraftnät 14 The Swedish – Norwegian certificate system Introduction to the certificate system The certificate system is a market based support system that first came into effect in May 2003 in Sweden and is designed to support the build-out of new renewable energy capacity Through the certificate system, producers of renewable energy receive electricity certificates during the first 15 years of operation for each produced MWh - - Supply is determined by the amount of renewable energy production entitled to receive certificates and the number of such certificates producers decide to sell Demand is determined by the statutory quota obligation and the total electricity consumption The system is financed by consumers of energy (some energy intensive industries are exempt) via the electricity bill Current and new proposed quota obligation 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 2012 2014 2016 2018 2020 2022 2024 2026 2028 2030 2032 2034 Current quota New proposed quota - The joint market is supported by the existing Swedish certificate system and the introduction of a Norwegian certificate system - The combined objective of the two systems is 26.4 TWh of new renewable energy in the period 2012-2020 The next checkpoint in the certificate system is 2015 when the regulators have the opportunity to adjust imbalances. In February 2014, the regulators in Sweden and Norway proposed technical adjustments to the certificate quota level as a measure to reduce the surplus of certificates/spur demand in order to achieve the common goal - In order to ensure that the objectives are achieved, the regulators may propose technical changes to the system energy every four years at pre-determined checkpoints/control stations The proposed adjustments would be implemented from, and including, 2016 and mean that the quota obligations are increased by approximately 8 TWh per year between 2016-2019 In 2012 Norway joined Sweden in the certificate system to create a joint certificate market up until and including 2035 A combination of high build-out pace of renewables and lower than expected electricity consumption have resulted in a surplus of certificates. The Swedish Energy Agency therefore proposed an adjustment of the current quota obligation in February 2014 The government regulated certificate system is a robust market based system with long-term commitment Source: Swedish Energy Agency 15 Variations in wind energy Energy content of wind Energy content of wind The output of wind energy is dependant on the energy content of the wind and how it varies over time. Statistics on the output of all wind turbines that have been officially registered with the Swedish Energy Agency show that between 1991 and 2010 the energy content varied from 84% to 116% of an average year with a standard deviation of 9% Average monthly production varies from around 5% of an annual production in July and over 11% in November and December 16
