1 Options and Possible Solutions: Gas Power Ring Conference, December 2008, Warsaw

2 Demand for electricity in Poland grows faster than availability of new production capacities GW Possibility of a 6 to 7 GW deficit Supply of electricity Demand for electricity Warszawa, 9 grudnia 2008r *source: data from WestLB presented at the conference Europower conference

3 Problems with the National Power Grid increase, and so does the risk of blackout Annual and monthly national demands, and attainable capacity for PSE-Operator in the national daily peak demand periods* January December 2007 March 2008 Attainable capacity for TSO National normal demand National demand Attainable capacity for TSO Day of the month Day of the month Nowadays, during the periods of peak demand, some shortages occur in the system power reserves, which in subsequent years (with shut-downs of consecutive units) may result in power supply disruptions *source: data from PSE-Operator SA Warszawa, 9 grudnia 2008r 3

4 Coal-fired power generation requires large investments into replacement units part of new capacity will come from gas [MW] Changes of attainable power of utility power plants, taking into account power decrease (permanent close-downs, and outages due to modernisation) as well as power increase due to completed modernisation and new investments already approved (Bełchatów II, Pątnow II, Łagisza II) Power Plant Skawina Power Plant Opole PKE Power Plant Halemba PKE Power Plant Blachownia PKE Power Plant Siersza PKE Power Plant Łagisza PKE Power Plant Łaziska PKE Power Plant Jaworzno II PKE Power Plant Jaworzno III Power Plant Stalowa Wola ZEL Ostrołęka "B" Power Plant Rybnik Power Plant Połaniec Power Plant Dolna Odra Power Plant Kozienice Power Plant Pątnów II Power Plant Pątnów I Power Plant Adamów Power Plant Turów Power Plant Konin Power Plant Belchatów II Power Plant Bełchatów bcm mld m Forecast of gas consumption structure in Poland outlook for the year Domestic-weather Households corrected Industry Power industry Commercial-weather Individual consumers corrected (commercial space, etc.) Petrochem Petrochemistry and chemistry Due to replacement modifications to take place in the next years in the production subsector, one of the possible development paths will involve simultaneous extension of production capacities based on coal and based on gas. According to analyses conducted by independent institutions, the increase in demand for gas in Poland will be largely created by the power industry source: Global Insight; PKEE Report 2030 Warszawa, 9 grudnia 2008r 4

5 Implementation of the EC Energy Package 3x20 by 2020 will promote increased consumption of natural gas by the power industry Main targets 20% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from energy production, by % increase in renewable energy sources share in primary energy balance, by % energy efficiency increase by 2020 Additional targets Implementation of the obligation to capture and store CO2 - for each new power plant using fossil fuels Achievement, by 2020, of 10% share of biofuels in the overall fuel consumption balance Warszawa, 9 grudnia 2008r 5

6 Advantages of gas: low investment cost and shorter project implementation period Specification of electricity production costs for various technologies (the costs include CO2 emission costs 30 EURO/ton, rate of return of 10%, and a reference scenario for fuels, developed by IEA Euro/MWh CO2-related costs Fixed costs Cost of fuel Investment cycle: - for gas power plants ca. 4 years - for coal power plants ca. 8 years Capital costs Coal - existing Coal - modernised Coal - new Coal - CCS Gas Nuclear Biomass Wind CF:25% Wind CF:40% Gas and steam systems Low investment outlays as compared with other fuels Unit type Investment per unit Gas and steam system Coal unit with overcritical parameters Nuclear unit ERP reactor Source: Enrst&Young; Ramboll Warszawa, 9 grudnia 2008r 6

7 Advantages of gas: higher efficiency and lower emission Gas-fired systems producing electricity or electricity and heat are characterised by higher efficiency and lower emissions. Gas-fired sources are characterised by high efficiency of production, reaching 60% (coal-fired power plants: 47%); this, with proper gas to coal price ratio, may decide about the competitiveness of sources supplied with gas. Energy sources supplied with gas operating in cogeneration system, meeting the criteria re. cogeneration index, may obtain yellow certificates. kg CO2 / MWh Relationship between carbon dioxide emission and fuel type and incineration technology 810 lignite Conventional systems 741 hard coal oil gas NGCC IGCC Future prices of CO2 emission rights will determine the competitive edge of specific fuels. Source: Report 2030 by Polish Electricity Association Warszawa, 9 grudnia 2008r 7

8 Advantages of gas: a convenient fuel for dispersed generation Power as well as combined heat and power plants can perfectly operate as dispersed sources of electricity and heat, providing additional support to the National Power Grid (for the forced generation) in places with electricity deficit Due to reduced possibility of supply with pipeline natural gas, it is possible to supply gasfired power plants via LNG system Pregasification and LNG supplies Liquefaction Transport Warszawa, 9 grudnia 2008r Storage / regasification CCGT 8

9 Fuel prices will remain a key factor for electricity production based on gas Comparison of selected European contract prices with international oil prices Gas trans-border prices ($/mmbtu 1) ) International oil prices ($/mmbtu) Troll to Germany The Netherlands to Italy Algeria to Spain (GME) Netherlands Gasunie export Border Russia to Turkey Russia to Germany Rotterdam Gasoil Rotterdam LSFO Mediterranean LSFO Brent Mediterranean Gasoil Gas price indexation based on oil prices greatly affects gas prices in Europe considering the time difference of 6 months, correlation between trans-border gas price and Brent oil price is equal to ) 1 mmbtu=0,293 MWh; 2) ØUE 15 Warszawa, 9 grudnia 2008r Source: A.T.
