Wind power, competitiveness guaranteed Versus cliché "expensive energy source" Wind power is one of the forces driving pool prices down In 2009, sector premiums cost each household in Spain 1.30/month Meanwhile last year major industrial users saved 160,000 on average thanks to wind power (via pool price savings) Wind premiums are included in the access tariff and represent 9.8% of fixed system costs The fixed cost implied by wind power production needs to be deducted for the energy price savings implied by the displacement of more expensive fossil fuel power stations Source: AEE 7
Wind power, competitiveness guaranteed Versus cliché "responsible for the tariff deficit" In 2009, wind power premium cost overruns amounted to 230 million, just 5% of the total tariff deficit Under prevailing rates, the wind power sector would receive 28 billion in premiums over the next 20 years Generating the equivalent amount of energy using gas, assuming average IEA prices, would cost 50 billion (the cost of gas imports + the cost of purchasing carbon emission certificates) Source: AEE and IEA 8
Wind power, competitiveness guaranteed Versus cliché "generates system cost overruns" During the last five years, wind power output totalled 138 TWh while premiums amounted to 5.2 billion Generating the same amount of energy using gas would have cost almost 5 billion, which has to be grossed up by 700 million for the CO 2 emissions generated (requiring the purchase of emission certificates outside Spain). In all, more than 5.7 billion in income that was not transferred abroad Source: AEE 9

Wind power and wealth generation Versus cliché "generates excessive premiums" 28bn in premiums to wind generation Cost to the Spanish economy of generating 40,000 GWh a year (forecast wind power contribution in 2010) for 20 years and the cost of the fossil fuel alternative Assumed values per resource (20-year averages, IEA WEO 2009) Gas (MWh thermal) Costs 27.45 Ton CO2 23.6 Purchase of carbon certificates + 6.99bn Fossil fuel imports + 43.92bn 2000-2020 Source: AEE 13
Wind power, the same yet different Versus cliché "renewables are all the same" The same as the other renewable energies But different in terms of Industrial nature Prevent carbon emissions Contribute to lowering electricity prices Natural resource - limitless Reduce energy dependence national vulnerability Technological maturity Existence of a national industrial sector Longer development periods (8 years to develop a wind farm) Advanced technological learning curve A more mature sector in terms of technology and development Higher capital requirements 14
