EMR Explained - Overview of EMR Delivery Plan Mary Teuton, EMR Project Manager, RWE npower
The Energy Trilemma AFFORDABILITY Social pressures Capacity Mechanism SECURITY OF SUPPLY CfD Carbon tax EU ETS SUSTAINABILITY
The changing electricity market Demand is increasing Supply is decreasing & becoming intermittent UK is moving towards a low carbon economy
Electricity Market Reform Carbon Price Support Emission Performance Standard (EPS) EPS = 450g CO 2 / kwh - only applicable to new plant ENERGY BILL Contracts for Difference (CfD) Capacity Mechanism Expected to appear on business bills, similar to FiT

DELIVERY PLAN EMR draft delivery plan POLICY AREA CURRENT DESIGN DECISIONS > The delivery plan itself outlines 3 core scenarios for UK renewable deployment of 30%, 32% and 35% by 2020 > Strike prices for generation designed to be comparable with Renewables Obligation (RO) recognising differences between them NPOWER VIEW > CfD - Our assessment of CfD costs is in line with DECC assessment > Capacity Mechanism - our current assessment of net Capacity Mechanism costs on customer bills is higher than DECC s (c. 1.50/MWh compared with our analysis of 10/MWh) > Panel of Technical Experts think analysis is robust, but more can be done going forward to improve it
CONTRACTS FOR DIFFERENCE SUPPLIER OBLIGATION CfD supplier obligation POLICY AREA CURRENT DESIGN DECISIONS > DECC has changed position on the CfD supplier obligation to a fixed rate > All suppliers will have to pay the obligation > Intention is to exempt intensive industries from CfD costs > Full details to be available in Autumn 2013 and will be consulted on NPOWER VIEW > We called for fixed rate as it will reduce costs and volatility for customers > More information needed on how CfD supplier obligation will be calculated and managed
CfD supplier obligation - continued LCF Budget ( bn) 4 Total Costs ( bn) 2.9 3.4 4.4 5.0 5.8 6.6 7.2 7.8 12 Impact on Bills ( /MWh) 3 10 8 2 6 1 4 2 0 13/14 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 18/19 19/20 20/21 0 13/14 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 18/19 19/20 20/21 CfD RO FiT National Grid RWE RWE forecasts costs of approx 10/MWh by 2020, compared to NG analysis of 8/MWh
CAPACITY MECHANISM Capacity Mechanism POLICY AREA CURRENT DESIGN DECISIONS > DECC has confirmed the design of the Capacity Mechanism and the first capacity auction in 2014 for delivery in 2018/19 NPOWER VIEW > Current proposed design decisions may not be best value to consumers (such as locking in new plant for long periods) > Capacity price discovered annually by competitive auction (so bills more predictable). Failure to deliver will result in penalty payment > Demand side response to be phased in with 1st auction in 2014 for delivery in 15/16 > Costs to be recouped from suppliers according to market share at peak demand > Additional balancing services could distort the market and therefore we would prefer an early introduction of the capacity mechanism > We are lobbying for a fixed unit rate across total annual market share to avoid charges being treated competitively > Flexible customers will have the opportunity to participate in demand side and get revenue that way
