WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson met with Sweden\u2019s Minister for Policy Coordination and Energy, Ibrahim Baylan, in Stockholm on 17 January. Charlotte Unger, CEO of the Swedish Wind Energy Association, also took part in the meeting.<\/strong><\/p>\n They discussed the EU\u2019s Clean Energy Package, notably:<\/p>\n \u2022the importance of Sweden deploying new renewable capacity beyond 2020 in a linear trajectory, as required by the proposed Governance Regulation, rather than backloading deployment to the end of the 2020s;<\/p>\n \u2022the case for a higher EU renewables target for 2030 than the Commission\u2019s proposed \u201cat least 27%\u201d;<\/p>\n \u2022the need to ensure Member States in the Council fully appreciate the economic and competitiveness case for the expansion of renewables; and<\/p>\n \u2022the need to defend the positive elements of the Commission\u2019s proposed new Renewable Energy Directive.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sweden is one of only seven EU Member States that has defined national targets for renewables for the period beyond 2020. They have committed to deploy 18TWh of new renewables capacity by 2030. The Swedish wind industry already has 15TWh of projects lined up to contribute.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sweden helps to finance renewables investments through a certificate scheme. They plan to keep this scheme until 2030 instead of moving to auctions. \u00a0However, the scheme needs reform. Certificates are oversupplied today and worth only \u20ac10\/MWh. \u00a0The Government plans to introduce legislation this year to tighten the scheme. \u00a0Charlotte Unger discussed the options for this with Minister Baylan.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n WindEurope CEO highlights falling costs of grid integration: \u201c\u20ac5-13\/MWh\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson plugged the falling costs of the integration of variable renewables at a G20 energy event in Munich. Responding to the German think-tank Agora Energiewende he noted that average system integration costs were now in a range of \u20ac5-13\/MWh on top of LCOE, at least according to the Agora data. He highlighted how these costs would fall further with the declining costs of storage, greater penetration of demand response and an expanded roll-out of digital technologies to support e.g. the efficiency of wind farms and their integration in the energy system.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Agora Energiewende (Patrick Graichen) confirmed that the \u20ac5-13\/MWh included the costs of market and grid balancing including demand response. It did not include the costs of storage. But countries didn\u2019t \u201cneed to invest much in storage until renewables reached 50% of the power mix.\u201d That was \u201cat least 10 years off in most countries \u2013 by which time battery technology would be further developed and storage costs would be significantly lower than they are today.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson met with Sweden\u2019s Minister for Policy Coordination and Energy, Ibrahim Baylan, in Stockholm on 17 January.
