1. Do we need to rethink our energy system(s) to meet 2030 goals? Justin Wilkes, Policy Director European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) 25 April 2013

2. Installed power generating capacity per year in MW RES (70%) Sources: Platts PowerVision 2012, EWEA, EPIA, ESTELA

3. Tackling the flexibility challenge Variability is an inherent characteristic of every power system Flexible generation is largely provided by gas, hydro and to a lesser extent biomass Large scale DSM and new energy storage remain unavailable in the short term An economically viable power system with large amounts of RES will require changes in all 3 areas Source: IEA 2011, Harnessing Variable Renewables

4. Stable and predictable market and legislative framework 2030 renewable and GHG targets Long-term infrastructure plans EU-wide power market(s) free of distortions on all timescales Non-energy markets (grid support services markets) RDI concentrating scarce resources on key technologies
