5 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 5

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, VERBUND AG/HK/Pirker TT.MM.JJJJ Seite 8

17 Hydropower is.. more than 5,000 years old 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 VERBUND AG, Seite 17

18 Run power plants Baseload generation, primary control capable Pondage Power Plants Baseload and peakload generation partial short-term storage, primary and secondary control Different types of hydropower plants offer all grid sevices Storage power plants Peak load generation, perfect balancing and reserve power plants depending on the storage volume. secondary and tertiary control Pumped storage power plants As storage power plants in addition, Enectricity from the system can be stored Positive and negative balancing power VERBUND AG, Seite 18

23 Today hydropower is - the most important renewable energy sources in electricity generation worldwide and in Europe - generating currently about 600 TWh (380 TWh in EU28) CO2 free renewable electricity in Europe - provides all ancillary services (balancing and reserve capacity, reactive power supply) - provides Black start capability - and about 220 TWh maximum storage can currently be provided by storage and pumped storage power stations in Europe. VERBUND AG, Seite 23

24 Hydropower - - is avoiding about 350 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually in Europe - has the lowest "carbon footprint" in all generating technologies. - is currently the most cost-efficient form of electricity storage and costefficient way of providing flexibility. - contributes to GDP with about 25 billion (EU28); 38bn (Europe) - s added value stays mainly in Europe - has a broad rang of multipurpose functions. VERBUND AG, Seite 24

25 Development on the electricity market prices ( ) Distortion in the electricity market! 3,1 ct/kwh No investment incentives for necessary investments in required capacities and flexible storage VERBUND AG, 25

26 Requirements for a (new) Market Design 1. Reform of the CO2 market 2. Integration of renewable energies into the market 3. Reduction of market barriers (Allowing price spikes, Pumped storage must be considered as a generation asset and must therefore not be burdened by double grid fees.) 4. Integration of the turn-off in demand in the current pricing (DSM) 5. Transboundary opening of the balancing markets 6. Consideration of flexibility and storage in the "new market design 7. Developing the transmission system 8. Level playing field for all technologies VERBUND AG, VERBUND AG/HK/Pirker Seite 26
