1 New Developments in the Renewable Energy Sector in Croatia Velimir Šegon Julije Domac Energy Institute Hrvoje Požar Croatia Workshop on "Data Gathering on Renewable Energies for the New Member States and Candidate Countries", November, Istanbul, Turkey Presentation Overview Energy in Croatia 26: Current Situation RES Legislative framework Electricity Heat Biofuels Regional Energy Agencies

2 Energy in Croatia 26 Hydro 15% Electricity 5% Coal 8% Fuelwood 4% Total Primary Energy Supply: 49.8 PJ In 25: PJ Natural gas 24% Liquid fuels 44% RES other then fuelwood:.6% Energy in Croatia 26, con t Net import 31% RES 1% Hydro 33% Total electricity consumption: 18,49.4 GWh In 25: 17,571.8 GWh Industrial cogeneration 3% Public cogeneration 1% Thermal 22% RES:.68%.54% small hydro.11% wind.3% landfill gas

3 RES Utilisation in 26 Th. capacity Th.Production El. capacity El. production Solar N/A N/A kw MWh Wind MW GWh Biomass 512 MW* TJ ** 2 MW 6, GWh Small hydro MW GWh Geothermal MW TJ *Only industrial heating plants **Total, includes fuelwood for households heating RES Utilisation in 26, con t Pellets production: 6. t (complete production exported) Briquettes production: 19.4 t (domestic consumption + export) Charcoal production: 6.9 t Fuelwood production: m 3 Biodiesel production: 7. t (complete production exported)

4 RES Projects Completed in 26 and 27 Wind PP: Trtar Krtolin (11.2 MW) Landfill gas: Jakuševac (2 MW) Biodiesel: MODIBIT (capacity 2 t/y, production in 26: 7 t) VITREX (capacity 6 t/y from recycled edible oil, production started in Dec. 26) Recent Developments: RES Electricity Legislation March and July 27: Package of five sublaws on RES electricity and cogeneration -Ordinance on RES&C utilisation -Regulation on the minimum share of RES&C electricity -Tariff system for RES&C electricity -Regulation on compensation for RES&C electricity incentives -Ordinance regarding eligible producer status

5 RES Electricity Legislation: Overview Ordinance on RES&C utilisation: -definition, RES&C category (type, capacity) -permits -RES&C projects registry Regulation on the minimum share of RES&C electricity: -27: 1.8% RES,.6% cogeneneration (of total electricity consumption) -21: 5.8% RES, 2% cogeneration (of forecasted electricity consumption) RES Electricity Legislation: Overview, con t Tariff system for RES&C electricity (feed-in), c/kwh <1 MW >1 MW Solar: < 1 kw kw 41.1 > 3 kw Small hydro 9.45 < 5 GWh/y GWh/y 7.53 > 15 GWh/y 5.75 Wind Biomass Forestry and Agriculture Wood industry Geothermal Biogas Liquid biofuels Landfill gas Others ( Wave, tidal )

6 RES Electricity Legislation: Overview, con t Regulation on compensation for RES&C electricity incentives: -27:.12 c/kwh (total app M ) -28:.27 c/kwh (total app M ) -29:.37 c/kwh (total app M ) -21:.48 c/kwh (total app M ) Ordinance regarding eligible producer status: -all RES, small hydro up to 1 MW -only high-efficient cogeneration Overview of Eligible Producer Status Procedure Previous energy approval MINGORP Building permit MZOPUG Contract on network use OPS/ODS Location permit MZOPUG Energy approval MINGORP Previous PP decision HERA Contract on purchase of electricity HROTE Usage permit MZOPUG Energy permit HERA PP decision HERA

7 Previous Energy Approval Requests By 31 August: 47 requests 39 wind 3 solar 2 biogas 1 biomass By mid November: 75 requests, 6+ wind RES Heat Legislation April 25: Law on production, distribution and supply of heat two sublaws on RES heat: -minimum share of RES heat -financial incentives Work on concept development just started, should be finished by end of 27 Sublaws to be in place by end of 28 (?)

8 Biofuels Legislation Regulation of quality standards for biofuels (November 25): defines quality standards and requirements; defines national indicative target of 5,75% by end of 21 (premature expert consultation missing!) Missing: - incentives (tax exemption) regulation Plan for putting biofuels on the national market for 27 (MINGORP) Preparation of a new Biofuels Law, in place by mid 28 (?) Regional Energy Agencies Before 27: none 2 approved within previous EIE call (October 26): Regional Energy Agency for North-western Croatia Local Energy Agency for Medjimurje County Contracts with EC signed in October (!) 3 applications submitted under current EIE call (in evaluation)

9 Regional Energy Agency for North-western Croatia Three counties: Zagreb County Krapinsko-zagorska County Karlovacka County City of Zagreb Population app. 1.4 million Partner agency: Arc-de- Seine, France Conclusions A little bit of history: 1997: Croatian Government starts 1 National Energy Programmes (5 on RES) 21: Package of 5 energy laws, introduce 2 sublaws for RES-E 21: Croatian Government starts BIODIZEL project 23: Fund for Environment Protection and Energy Efficiency 24: Ammendments to energy laws, 5 sublaws for RES-E 25: Law on Heat, introduces 2 sublaws for RES-H 25: Regulation on Quality of Biofuels (sets targets) 27: RES-E sublaws in place 27: Regional Energy Agencies 1 years of official activities regards RES in Croatia

10 Conclusions, con t Future work to be done: Legislative framework RES-H Biofuels Targets for 22 (no attention so far from the Government!) Administrative barriers For RES-E 1 different permits from 5 institutions (!) Cooperation between various ministries Biofuels: Ministry of Environment defined targets, Ministry of Economy defined plan, Ministry of Agriculture defined measures for rapeseed, Ministry of Finance should define incentives (tax exemptions)
