Regional and local strategies of development of use of renewable energy18 sierpnia 2008
 Materiały z konferencji: „Wdrażanie przepisów UE regulujących wykorzystanie odnawialnych źródeł energii w wybranych krajach członkowskich, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem zagadnienia wykorzystania biomasy” organizowane we współpracy z Urzędem Marszałkowskim Województwa Dolnoślaskiego Dolnośląską Agencją Energii i Środowiska Stowarzyszeniem na Rzecz Zrównoważonego Rozwoju Tytuł: Regional and local strategies of development of use of renewable energy Wroclaw, Poland, 23-24.03.2006 Christof Delatter Association of Flemish Cities and Municipalities (Vereniging van Vlaamse Steden en Gemeenten – VVSG) www.vvsg.be Tel. E-mail: christof.delatter@vvsg.be This Presentation • Competences • Flemish energy market • Energy consumption • Renewable energy certificate system • Geothermal heat pump • Solar energy • Wind energy • Local authorities Competences
• Significant delegation of energy responsibilities to regions • Region fully responsible for: – Rational use of energy – Distribution and local transport of electricity up to 70kV – Public gas distribution – Renewable energy sources • Federal responsibilities: – Pricing policy – Large infrastructures for storage, transport and distribution of energy – Nuclear fuel cycle – National equipment programme Liberalised energy market • 1 July 2003: freedom of choice of energy supplier • Monitoring of ‘smooth functioning’ of the market by Flemish Regulatory Authority (VREG) • Distribution grids – Operated by appointed distribution system operators (DSO) – Legally independant from electricity or gas producers and suppliers – Each supplier entitled to use distribution system – Operator receives a fee for electricity or gas carried by his system • Public service obligations for DSO’s and suppliers – Provision of services (investments, social schemes) – Environmental requirements (rational use, renewable energy) – Safety requirements Distribution system operators: mostly owned by municipalities (often intermunicipal cooperation)
Energy consumption in Flanders • Europeans: 11 tonnes of CO2/inh/year • Flanders: gluttonous users of energy – Intense pressures from human activities: densely populated, dense transportation network, industry, intensive cattle breeding (millions of porcs, chickens, cows) and crop cultivation – 15 ton CO2/inh/year ! • Trias energetica
Renewable energy certificate system • Granting of RE-certificates – Production of electricity from solar energy, wind, hydro, tidal, geothermal, biogas (incl. landfill gas), biomass (incl. part of municipal solid waste) – 1 certificate for every 1.000 kWh produced – Valid for 5 years • Each producer/supplier of electricity has to “contribute” to production of renewable energy • Proof of contribution: yearly presentation of certificates to Regulatory Authority • Contribution = percentage of total amount of electricity delivered by producer/supplier – 2002: 0,8% – 2003: 1,2% – 2010: 6% • If a producer/supplier can not give the necessary amount of certificates: fine of 125 €/missing certificate • Free choice between: – own production of renewable energy – buying certificates from other RE-producers – paying fine
Geothermal heat pump (1) • Geothermal heat pumps (GHP)use the natural heat storage capacity of the earth or ground water to provide energy efficient heating and cooling. • GHPs use the relatively constant temperature of the ground or water several feet below the earth's surface as source of heating and cooling • Regional/Federal support: – Tax abatement • 40% of the investment • Max. 1.280 € • Local support: – Grants from distribution system operators (up to 50% of the investment) – Additional grants from some municipalities (up to 25% of investment) Solar energy systems • Photovoltaic panels – ROI: 12 years – Regional support: • Grants – 10% of the investment • Green energy certificates – Local support: • Grants from some municipalities (up to 25% of investment) • Solar domestic water heating system – ROI (including supportive measures): 6 years – Regional support: • Tax abatement – 40% of the investment – Local support: • Grants from distribution system operators (up to 50% of the investment) • Additional grants from some municipalities (up to 25% of investment) Wind energy • Green energy certificates allow economic investments in wind farms • In combination with specific “ecology-bonus” for investment (10 – 30% of investment) • But many obstacles… – Legislation: Flemish Windplan, safety aspects, aviation, landscape, high-tension network, spatial planning, environmental permits – NIMBY ! • Knokke (Belgian coast) – Good setting for offshore windfarm – But risk that it could ‘spoil’ the view
– 4 years of discussions in court – Finally no permit because of one (1) objection Wind energy • Eeklo (in land) – Cooperative investment with participation by local citizens ? less objections ! – Cheaper energy and profit for participants • Similar example: Wase Wind (Waasland) – Customers can buy shares (1 / 10.000 kWh/y) – 1 share costs 255 € – Yearly return of 5 – 6% Local authorities • Own buildings and services: – Purchasing renewable energy – Installation of solar energy systems – Streetlighting – Biodiesel for municipal vehicles • Investing in production of renewable energy • For the population: – Grants – Setting up cooperative investments in renewable energy – Playing their role within the distribution system operators You are welcome !!! • In Flanders – Visit plants, projects,… – Share data on policy and on practical implementation methods – Long-term relationship and help in setting up a local or intermunicipal initiatives • Contact: Christof Delatter christof.delatter@vvsg.be – www.vvsg.be Short introduction to Flanders (1) • 3 Belgian regions: Flanders, Brussels, Wallonia • Land area Flanders: ± 13.500 km² (45% of Belgium) • Flat coastal plains in northwest, central rolling hills • Population: just over 6 million • Population density: ± 440 inh./km² • 5 provinces • 308 municipalities – Average population: ± 18.000 inh/municipality – Smallest municipality: 84 inhabitants – Largest city: 452.474 inhabitants – Rural municipalities as well as densely populated cities – All are member of VVSG autor Christof Delatter Association of Flemish Cities and Municipalities (Vereniging van Vlaamse Steden en Gemeenten – VVSG) jurek |
