1 Direct consumption and power purchase Experience with New Business Models in Germany Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft e.v. (BSW-Solar)

2 Solar electricity leads to more independency Raise the supply-/self-consumption rate 2 Roof-top selection PV-system size Load management Electric mobility Energy storage device

3 In spite of similar global module s, PV systems s differ significantly USA USA 3 AUS GER AUS GER System Soft Costs

4 Overview of new business models 4 Electricity self-supply models Classic self-supply Leasing models Electricity supply models System operator supplies solar power to one consumer System operator supplies solar power to several consumers Efficiency models Applicability of Energy saving directive (EnEV) heating with PV electricity

5 Incentive for PV business models beyond FiTs in Germany 5 Price components electricity bill 1. Turnover Tax 2. EEG Surcharge 3. Electricity Tax 4. Concession Surcharge 5. Grid Fees 6. CHP surcharge surcharge 8. Offshore-liability surcharge 9. Interruptible loads surcharge

6 Model of self consumption 6 Effect of surcharge and taxes for captive production Self consumption Personal identity of the operator and consumer Direct self-sufficiency With a direct spatial connection without the public grid Regional self-sufficiency via the public grid, with a direct spatial connection 2014 in the building resp. within the customer s system through a direct line Partial EEG surcharge EEG surcharge + grid fees + surcharges EEG surcharge + grid fees + surcharges + electricity tax 1 Traders will be charged with turnover tax 2 The term direct spatial connection is a new and vague legal term with a need for interpretation 3 Based on the prediction of the EEG surcharge from Agora Energiewende in 08/2014 (2015: 5,95 Ct/kWh; 2016: 6,16 Ct/kWh; 2017: 6,43 Ct/kWh) 4 Varies in individual cases

7 Price scope for self consumption with a direct line in local proximity 7 Price scope for self-consumption for industrial, commercial and residential customers Savings through self-consumption for new installations over 10 kwp (acc. EEG 2014 in ct/kwh) Industry incl. electricity tax Commercial Residential Saving Reduced EEG surcharge Energy (net) Saving Reduced EEG surcharge Energy (net) Saving Reduced EEG surcharge VAT Energy (gross)

8 Power Purchase Agreement Model 8 Effect of surcharges and taxes for PPAs Power Supply no person identity of operator and consumer Direct supply (without public grid) Regional supply via public grid in local proximity 2014 Supra-regional supply via public grid without local proximity 2014 In the building resp. within the installation context Via direct line EEG surcharge EEG surcharge EEG surcharge + grid fees + surcharges EEG surcharge + grid fees + surcharges + electricity tax EEG surcharge + grid fees + surcharges + electricity tax

9 Price scope for PPAs with a direct line 9 Price scope for PPAs for industrial, commerce and household customers Price sensitivity for PV power supply related to retail for grid electricity (ct/kwh) Industry incl. electricity tax Commercial Residential Scope for PV electricity EEG Surcharge Energy (net) Scope for PV electricity EEG Surcharge Energy (net) Scope for PV electricity EEG Surcharge VAT Energy (gross)

11 Best-Practice-Examples 11 PV system on an apartment building in the yellow neighborhood in Berlin Hellersdorf - Cooperation between a green electricity provider, a local housing association and a PV operator tenants About 50 percent solar electricity and certified green electricity 24,5 ct/kwh electricity and 8,95 basic fee One supply contract PV system on apartment building Neue Heimat in Nußloch (near Heidelberg) - Cooperation between Heidelberger eg and green electricity provider 116 tenants About 50 percent solar electricity and certified green electricity 25,4 ct/kwh electricity and 6,95 basic fee One supply contract

12 Renewable energy sources and self-supply are already among the measures companies are taking 12 Which measures is your company taking in light of changes in energy industry and policy? Energy efficiency measures Change of supplier Long-term supply contracts Building your own energy supply Access to renewable energy sources Purchase at electricity exchange completed ongoing planned No measures
