1 Dutch Association for Solar Energy: National update on the Netherlands Erik Lysen Chairman SPE Strategy meeting Brussels, 17 May 2016

2 Members (solar PV and thermal) cover complete chain: R&D Production Consultancy Installation So include: Industries Professional solar energy experts Companies Institutions

3 Activities Lobby to improve laws and regulations relevant for the solar sector: Net metering, Incentives (ISDE, EIA,..) Active participation in the process to establish the National Energy Treaty, agreed in 2013 between government, employers, and trade unions..

4 Activities Knowledge and quality Publication Solar Energy Handbook (ISSO/SBR) Publication Space for Solar Courses, including exams Projects and working groups (PV Grid, Solar Days, installation safety) Booklets on safety measures for installation on roofs

5 Certification of Solar installation companies: Zonnekeur Installateur Started companies certified

6 Nationaal Solar Evenement BIPV/T verkiezing Zonne-energie Sponsors Pers Contact Solar awareness campaign: Solar Days Solar City Award For PV owners: Count the Sun Projects to visit Website

7 Annual Solar Conference (last year: 18 Nov 2015, Arnhem) Researchers and practitioners 350 participants Coordination: Holland Solar Partners: Solliance, ECN, FOM, RVO, SEAC, TKI Solar Energy Website: SundayNL.nl

8 Netherlands Organisation Renewable Energy NVDE: Companies and RE organisations: direct and indirect 1000 companies en institutions. Involve hundreds of megawatts RE production capacity, form offshore wind to geothermal and solar fields. Lobby: NVDE working group Decentralised Power Production (lead: Holland Solar) develops plans for new net metering regulations, for period after 2020

9 Policy developments 1. Net metering 2. Arrangement Low Energy Tax for Energy co-operatives 3. SDE+ (auction scheme RE subsidy) 4. Other support schemes

10 1. Net metering regulation: reconstruction needed Major driver behind popularity of PV for consumers and the growth of Dutch PV capacity Full net metering of all consumed kwh Additional kwh injected: for market price Regulation to be evaluated in 2017 Formally operational until 2020 Customers convinced that this will end in 2020, so market feels reduced demand already Solar sector strong advocate of continuation after 2020

11 Net metering Discussions about follow-up regulation in NVDE working group, with suppliers, DSO s, customers and solar industries, chaired by Holland Solar Is considered Over stimulation in some years Has no option to adapt to market price Does not stimulate innovation (e.g. storage) Excludes energy suppliers to develop viable proposition to clients Reduces energy tax income for government On long term can burden energy networks Important principles for alternative after 2020 are: sustainable and continuous growth of PV capacity, good market conditions, simple administration, smooth transition Initial discussions already took place with Government (Economic Affairs and Finance)

12 2. Arrangement Lower Energy Tax for Energy Co-operatives Started in 2014 (as a result of lobby) for consumers with no suitable roof. Consumers required to form Energy Cooperative Also called: Postal Code Arrangement, because members should live in connected postal areas Consumers (private and SME) are allowed to exploit an installation together for self supply Tax reduction on self delivered electricity was 7.5 ct/kwh, increased to 9 ct/kwh. Early 2016: no tax at all From 2016 this arrangement is expected to become more and more successful.

13 3. SDE+ auction scheme Exploitation subsidy designed as an auction tender: competition amongst RE technologies, with gradually increasing ct/kwh per phase, but fixed annual budget Only larger projects (PV> 15 kwp and > 3*80A) Solar-th > 200 m2 collector area) Contract for 15 years with clients Annual budget: 3,5 billion (2014, 2015), 8 billion (2016) Generated by RE fee in kwh price (0.56 ct/kwh in 2016) Guaranteed until 2023, but after that?

14 4. Other support schemes Fiscal deduction for companies investing in energy systems ( Energie Investerings Aftrek ) 58% of investment can be deducted from profit > 25 kwp Subsidy scheme EDS for sports facilities Subsidy scheme for removal asbestos in combination with installation solar (agriculture) ISDE scheme for solar thermal (and WP)
