  1. Renewable Energy in Estonia Raul Potisepp, Estonian Renewable Energy Association 14.05.2014

  2. EREA´s introduction • EstablishedinMay 13 2011 • 14 membersincl 5 associations Estonian Biogas Association Estonian Solar Energy Association

  3. EREA´s introduction

  4. Electricity and heat production in Estonia, 2010 Electricity production H&C production

  5. Energy consumption: All sectors Households

  6. State of Play of RES in Estonia • Estonia first country to fulfil its 2020 RES directive target (25%) • Biggest growth in RES-H&C sector, 2020 NREAP sectoral target was already exceeded in 2009 • RES-E growth above the trajectory, from 2% in 2008 to 12,3% in 2011 • RES-T still non-existent

  7. Renewable electricity production 2009-2013 (GWh)

  8. State of Play of RES-H&C in Estonia • RES-H&C potential often underestimatated • Growth due to combination of various reasons: fuel prices, targeted support measures • Good potential for further increase

  9. State of Play of RES-H&C in Estonia EVOLVEMENT OF FUEL PRICES IN ESTONIA 2001-2013 (€/MWh)

  10. State of Play of RES-E in Estonia • 369,4 MW RES-E capacities at the end of 2013 • Until 2007 investments were non-existent, RES-E share in final energy consumption only 1,5% • In 2007 new FiP scheme was put in place • Fastest growth in 2009 with 107,5 MW of added capacity • In 2011 12,3% of electricity was produced from RES MW

  11. Addition of new capacity:

  12. Installed capacity by source:

  13. Estonia´s NREAP 2020 • RES directive sets Estonia´s target at the level of 25% (18% in 2005) • NREAP sectoral targets: • RES-HC from 2005 31,3% to 38,4% in 2020, • RES-E from 0,1% to 17,6%, • RES-T from 0% to 10%

  14. Power to the people: • Microproducer is an electricity producer who has a generating capacity up to 11 kW. • Simplified access to grid. • Before 2012, virtually non-existent, became popular after investment subsidy scheme (Kredex) • First microproducer joined the grid in 2012 • 2012: 17; 2013: 121;

  15. Alltogether: 2014 – ca 200 microproducers (87% PV panels) • Interest for microproduction is great – recent survey in Estonia 71% of respondents said they are interested in PV panels. • Average capacity – 7 kW • Total capacity – ca 1 MW

  16. Transportation sector: • RE share in transportation sector is 0.2% • Measures to achieving 10% RE share in sector: • Nationwide electric-vehicle charging station network (First in the World) • Up to 18 000 euros rebate, when buying electric-vehicle. • 51,4 MEUR EU funds to develop biomethane • Blending requirement introduced in coming years

  17. Overview of major RES policy changes in Estonia 2007-2013

  18. Other existing and future support schemes

  19. Civil society’s attitude towards RE: • Climate change issue • Renewable support scheme – separately on electricity bill • Negative image of developers ( Hiiumaa example) • Towards microgeneration totally different attitude

  20. 100% Renewable energy – action plan Electricity sector Heating (and cooling) sector:

  21. Conclusion • Estonia has had a very good progress, 1st country in the EU to fulfil its 2020 RES target • The potential of renewable energy in Estonia is still largely untapped • Policy framework matters, without the good framework the growth wouldn´t had been possible • Due to the retroactive and other (potential) changes in the regulatory framework the growth has stalled and prospects remain bleak
