2 Workshops on the theme of Advancing Partnerships in River and Water Management Hydropower and River Management Position of Hydropower in the European Generation Mix Otto Pirker, Vienna; March 2016 VERBUND AG,

3 Hydropower is the Backbone of our electricity system? Why? VERBUND AG,

4 Electricity Generation Mix world-wide (2012) Renewable electricity generation world-wide 2012 (Data Base - U.S. Information Administration) Worldwide, hydropower is the most important renewable energy sources in electricity generation by far! The share of hydropower in electricity generation is 17%! 77% of electricity from renewable energy we generated in hydro power plants! VERBUND AG, Seite 4

5 EU28 Gross Electricity Generation 2012 (3.295 TWh). Data Base - DG Energy Statistical pocketbook 2014 VERBUND AG, Seite 5

6 EU28 Gross Renewable Electricity Generation 2012 (799 TWh)Data Base - DG Energy pocketbook 2014 In spite of the intensive development of wind and PV, hydropower is still the most important renewable energy source in Europe! The share of hydropower in electricity production in the European Union is 13% (18% in total Europe) About 46 % of electricity from renewable sources in EU 28 was produced in hydro power plants VERBUND AG, Seite 6

Renewables - Target 2050 "exchange of roles" High Share of renewable energies in gross domestic electricity consumption in Germany: Challenge - integration of wind and PV, while maintaining security

8 Renewables - Target 2050 "exchange of roles" High Share of renewable energies in gross domestic electricity consumption in Germany: Challenge - integration of wind and PV, while maintaining security of supply Year 2012 Year 2050 (Target) Conventional energy sources: ca. 80% RES: ca. 20% Conventional energy sources: ca. 20% RES: ca. 80% Source: BDEW, AG Energiebilanzen,Stand: 08/2012; Ziele der BR VERBUND AG, Mat Seite 8

15 Conclusion FLEXIBILITY there are a large number of future oriented solutions.. but today the Alpine Hydropower with high FLEXIBILITY in Generation (Pump- and Turbine Mode) and energy STORAGE is in place: enhancing security of supply and system stability the heart of the renewable family enabler for a sustainable Europe FLEXIBILITY Mutual Understanding of all Steakholders European River Symposium, Vienna, 2016 Seite 15

16 Hydropower is the heart of the renewable family VERBUND AG, Seite 16

17 Hydropower is.. since approx. 150 years an essential part of the electricity supply system (first HP station in 1880 in Northumberland) - proven technology! was continuously adapted to the particular circumstances site-specific and innovative! the most important renewable energy sources in electricity generation (17% worldwide; 18% in Europe) European "leadership" in terms of technology is avoiding about 350 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually in Europe has the lowest "carbon footprint" in all generating technologies. Its added value stays mainly in Europe has a broad rang of multipurpose functions VERBUND AG, Seite 17
