7 Alliance for Rural Electrification The Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE) is an international non-profit organization founded in 2006 by the most important European renewable energy Industry Associations,EPIA, ESHA, EWEA, EUBIA, GWEC ARE was created in response to the need for access to sustainable electricity in the developing world, and to facilitate the involvement of ARE members in emerging rural energy markets.

9 Policy makers will ask why the change should be done with PV? RE source with hugepotential CO2 reduction Security of supply cheap on the long run! Socio-economic effects 9

10 How to do it? Premium feed in tariff Every PV system has to be connected to the grid by the utility Every solar kwh which is offered has to be bought by the utility Every solar kwh has to be payed with a fixed price over 20 years The feed-in tariff is reduced every year by 5-6,5% for new installed PV-systems Benefits: Security for investors Incentive to maximise output of system SYSTEMS NEEDS TO BE SIMPLE! 10

11 How the German system is working 1.28 TWh solar electricity sold for 679 mio (53 ct per kwh) Fossil and nuclear electricity (and other renewables) utilities (data 2005) consumer Price increase for consumer: 0.7% Primer loloquio para el fromento de energia fotovoltaica en Mexico 11

31 Conclusions Germany still the most important market. Many countries are on the verge to take off. PV on grid systems become competitive in many countries within the next decade at peak electricity prices (Japan and California almost competitive today).
