Greenland - the Home Rule system and the step by step approach
1979 – Introduction of Greenland Home Rule Arrangement • Legislative and administrative responsibility in specified matters
• A special mineral resources regime was established • Pursuant to the Act on Mineral Resources in Greenland,and subsequent
agreements between the Prime Minister of DK and Greenland, the main elements were:
• Joint decision power and veto rights in resource matters;• Establishment of a joint Danish/Greenlandic Mineral Resource Council,
composed of 5 Danish parliamentary members and 5 Greenlandic;• Division of incomes from natural resource activities between DK and
Greenland;• Administration of mineral resources based in Greenland from 1 July 1998.

Greenland - the selfgovernment system
2009 - The Greenland SelfGovernment Act came into force
• Provides for the Self-Government authorities to assume a number of new fields of responsibility, courts; police; aviation & mineral resource activities
• Radically changes the Danish/Greenlandic relations regarding mineral resource activities in Greenland
• Greenland decided to take over responsibility for the mineral resource area on 1 January 2010
• Revenues from mineral resource activities in Greenland are to accrue to the Self-Government. Such revenues will have influence on the size of the Danish Government subsidy

The Danish Point of Departure
1973-74 oil crisis
2 countries 99% dependent on imported fuels• Japan• Denmark (oil and coal)
Severe impact on the Danish society including economic decline due to energy dependent growth model

Energy Policy & Regulation in DenmarkUntil 1973:
Sufficient and cheap oil supplies, limited awareness on security and environmental impact of energy consumption and different fuels
• Energy legislation was rare and mainly dealt with safety matter
1970’ies:
Focus on energy security. Public intervention, influence and control• Adoption of sector acts, Electricity, Heating, Natural Gas• Subsoil Act already in 1936 but new act in 1981• Energy plans and strategies 1976 & 1979 -> supply flexibility
• indigenous production; national gas grid, heat planning
1990’ies:
Wave of liberalization - driven by European internal market• All energy acts amended
After 2000:
Climate Change (but still energy security and liberalization- 3rd package)- CO2 Quota Act, Act on Renewables, Amendments to Electricity & Subsoil Acts

The Result and the Danish Energy Supply situation
In 1997 - Denmark became self-sufficient in energy
In 2005, the total production of oil, gas and renewables was 58 % higher than total energy consumption.
In 2011 and -> Self-suffiency for another decade and then need for import (some uncertainty)

Production now and in the future
• Production seems to have peaked• None of the oil fields have discontinued production 34 years after
production started in the Danish part of the North Sea• New technologies have enabled the oil companies to recover
increasing volumes of oil from the same fields • water and gas injection• horizontal drilling• Injecting CO2 from power stations may prove to be a viable
option
• Shale gas?

Energy Policies of IEA Countries – Denmark - 2011 Review (Feb. 2012)
”Denmark is a leader among OECD member countries in terms of its well-designed policies for renewable energy, energy efficiency and climate change.”
• Denmark’s long-term energy goal is to become completely independent of fossil fuels use by 2050.• In 2011, the government published the Energy Strategy 2050• a detailed and ambitious policy document that sets out a series of new energy-policy initiatives.
• A long history of consensus-based policy making• political stability • clear long-term vision for low carbon future

- output varies according to availability of the resource• Increasing number of smaller production units• Influencing production & demand - > smart grids• Consumers information and options for choice of supply. • Energy storage and linking new sectors like transport in

Wind turbines: Main challenges
Local resistance on more land turbines• from land owners and municipalities
Best sites taken by old turbines
Grants may be better in other countries big companies go abroad
Lack of test facilities for MEGA- turbines

New instruments• Binding planning obligations for municipalities
• In 2010 & 2011 all municipalities have collectively prepared and adopted a supplement to their municipal plans,• with areas reserved for a total wind-turbine capacity of 75 MW in each of the years.
• National testcenter for MEGA-turbines is under construction• Owned by the Government• Enforced by law• 7 sites for turbines up to 250 m/ 20 MW• Visible 50 km away• Industry rents the site temporally
• Additional price supplement for scrapping certificates• Old ineffective turbines on good sites• Disfigures the landscape• When taken down you get a scrapping certificate, fully negotiable• For new turbines you obtain 5-6 cent instead of 4 cent /kWh

New ways of balancing conflicting interests
1. Green scheme to enhance local scenic and recreational values- reward to the municipalities for planning,
about 25.000 EURO for 1 turbine – site
1. Guarantee fund to support financing of preliminary investigations by local wind turbine owners’ associations- State guarantee for loan taken by local groups to investigate for local turbines
3. Offer on 20 % ownership of production facilities- IF Wind turbines at least 25m in height onshore- person over 18 years, living < 4.5 km from the site of installation
4. Compensation for losses of property value

In addition to EIA process - obligation to hold a public meeting to explain the consequences for surrounding real properties
A Valuation authority shall decide on the size of the loss of value on the basis of an individual assessment
• Composed by legal chairman and a real estate agent
