EU-Ukraine New Energy Opportunities Jacopo Moccia Member State Liaison European Wind Energy Association 01 March 2010
Outline of presentation Development of wind and EU energy mix Benefits of wind Wind power in the Ukraine Potential Challenges
Cumulative installations
Share of new EU power capacity installed during 2009 (MW)
New installed capacity per year 1995 - 2009 61%
New installed capacity and decomissioned capacity in EU 2009
Net electricity generating installations in EU 2000 - 2009
Benefits of wind Today By 2030 – 400 GW installed wind power Investment in EU wind farms in 2009 was +/- €13 billion; 163 TWh produced; 106 Mt CO2 avoided; In 2010, € 8.7bn avoided fuel costs. By 2030 – 400 GW installed wind power 26% - 35% of EU electricity demand; 1.155 TWh produced (241 million average households); 600 Mt CO2 avoided annually; €56 billion avoided fuel costs; €15 billion avoided CO2 costs.
Wind power in the Ukraine - Potential 4 MW installed in 2009 94 MW cumulative installations Slow development …but… Excellent wind resource Availability of land Good feed-in tariff (up to €110/MWh) Focus on security of supply => Investor interest
Wind power in the Ukraine - Challenges Is the legislative framework adequate/complete/appropriately designed? Is it stable? Grid infrastructure? 4 Fundamentals : Well designed payment mechanism Grid access and strategic development Appropriate administrative procedures Public acceptance
