Renewable Power Association • Represent most UK renewable output • Focus here on electricity generation, but • heat and CHP • fuel and transport • energy efficiency • storage (hydrogen, fuel cells) also important pieces of the jigsaw The RPA Renewables Routemap RPA\Events\030520GlobePraseg

Support for renewables • Renewables Obligation • on electricity suppliers • runs to 2027, but quotas set to 2010 • Capital grants • Research, development & market building The RPA Renewables Routemap RPA\Events\030520GlobePraseg

The renewables highroad The RPA Renewables Routemap RPA\Events\030520GlobePraseg
Energy in the future • Sustainability • Diversity • Local and embedded generation • Energy self-sufficiency The RPA Renewables Routemap RPA\Events\030520GlobePraseg
How to get there Action in four areas: • Renewables Obligation • Transition for emerging technologies • Eliminating barriers, creating incentives • Energy markets and regulation The RPA Renewables Routemap RPA\Events\030520GlobePraseg
Renewables Obligation Maximise investor confidence: • Rolling quota • Review: terms of reference & timing • Increase quota above target • Raise quota for any eligibility change • Include: • qualifying EfW • increased hydro capacity by refurbishment • coal mine methane The RPA Renewables Routemap RPA\Events\030520GlobePraseg
Transitional measures • Interim support for near term technologies; e.g: • Renewable Investment Certificates, or • Fixed price power contracts, or • Multiple ROC allocation • RD&D support longer term at higher level • Biomass • Use of set-aside land • Break the energy crop ‘Catch 22’ The RPA Renewables Routemap RPA\Events\030520GlobePraseg
Barriers and incentives • Streamline planning • Renewables in Building Regulations • Transmission infrastructure • Regulated connection costs • Incentives for embedded micro-generation, where too small for RO The RPA Renewables Routemap RPA\Events\030520GlobePraseg
Energy markets • Emission trading to “level the playing field” • Carbon price to reflect full sequestration cost • Emissions caps to reduce to zero • Fully cost decommissioning and waste in nuclear power prices • Plan transition from R O to E T S • Add sustainability to Ofgem’s primary objective The RPA Renewables Routemap RPA\Events\030520GlobePraseg

Conclusions Together: • Industry (1,250 MW per annum) • Finance (£1.4bn per annum) • Government (infrastructure) Can achieve the Renewables Highroad The RPA Renewables Routemap RPA\Events\030520GlobePraseg
