GLOBAL TRENDS / OUTLOOK

REGULATORY TRENDS

COP21 Paris Agreement

  • All necessary measures should be taken to keep global temperatures from rising more then 2 °C

Legislation passed to support agreement

  • Germany, renewable energy in el. mix should nearly double to 55-60 percent by 2035 from 34 percent in 2015
  • France, renewable energy in el. mix should climb to 40 percent by 2030 from 15 percent in 2015
  • USA , Production Tax Credits extended to end of 2019 and covers projects completed prior to end of 2021

EEG 2017 - ONSHORE

Tenders beginning in 2017

  • 2,800 MW will be allocated per year during 2017-19

Transitional period

  • Projects with planning permission before Jan 1, 2017 and commissioned before Jan 1, 2019 may choose between feedin-tariff regime and tender

Limited grid capacity regions

  • Due to underinvestment in the grid, new wind build will be limited in these areas to 58% of the amount installed during the 2013-15 time period

EEG 2017 - OFFSHORE

Germany targets 15,000 MW offshore

  • By 2030, up from 3,295 MW in 2015

Transitional period

  • Offshore wind farms, which are commissioned before the end of 2020, fall under previous fixed feed-in-tariff regime

Two tenders totaling 3,100 MW

  • In March 2017 and 2018, tenders with 1,550 MW each will be held for projects to be completed during 2021-25
  • Atlantis I is being prepared for the tenders

Danish Model

  • After the two tender rounds, a government body (BSH) will takeover the development of future offshore projects. These areas will then be auctioned off for the period after 2025
  • If there are no changes to the legislation, the projects Atlantis II and III, Jules Verne, Nemo and Nautilus may be negatively affected

ENERGY TRENDS

Wind power is competitive

  • In comparison to coal, gas and nuclear

Improving wind technology

  • Leads to higher output at lower costs
  • Wind LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) has fallen by 50 percent since 2009 – Bloomberg New Energy Finance
