POLAND – Local Energetics Characteristics

• 90% energy acquired from conventional sources – black coal deposits

• Energy generation costs relatively low compared to EU15

• Uneven distribution of power plants – mainly in south and central Poland

• Infrastructure in poor condition

• Limited knowledge of ecology in society

RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION SOURCES IN POLAND


5

POLAND – PREDICTED CHANGES


6

• 6th place in electric energy production (690,52 TWh) from renewable sources - 8,04% of Poland’s total

• Total power of renewable energy generating facilities in Małopolska: ~180 MW.

• Main sources of renewable energy:

• Geothermal waters

• Hydropower of rivers

MAŁOPOLSKA – CURRENT SITUATION (1)

• GEOTHERMAL SOURCESExisting geothermal water deposits have been precisely located

• PEC Geotermia Podhalańska S.A. since 19941415 receivers by the end of 2009Heat distributed: 351 616,93 GJPower: 54,0426 MW.

• HYDROPOWEREnergy produced by hydroplants in 2009: 396 066,058 MWh - 57,36% of total renewable energy production in region

Problem of air quality in Malopolska

• Limit value of PM10, PM2.5 and target value of benzo(a)pyrene is exceeded in all 3 zones where air quality assessment is carried out.

• PM10 annual average in Krakow is 79 g/m3 (limit value is 40 g/m3).

• The main cause of poor air quality is the emission from coal-fired boilers used for domestic heating. The efficiency of these boilers is around 50-70%.

Sources of heat supply in residential buildings in Krakow

11

Heat demand in Krakow: 12.7 millions GJ/a

per capita: 16.8 GJ/a


12

• Air quality plan assumes:

- Liquidation of traditional coal-fired boilers in 63000 flats - replacement with district heating, gas heating, oil heating, or a modern low-emission coal boilers,

- Reduction of fossil fuel consumption through thermo-modernization and use of renewable energy sources.

• Municipalities implement programs of financial support for residents to replace the traditional coal-fired boilers to low emission sources.

Number of liquidated traditional coal-fired boilers: 3100 units.

POLAND’S NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY UNTIL 2030

Podstawowe kierunki działań:

• Energy efficiency improvement

• Increase in energy and fuel supply security

• Diversification of electric energy production through introduction of nuclear power

• Development of renewable energy sources, including biofuels

• Development of a competitive fuel and energy market

• Reduction of energetics’ impact on environment.


17

ACT ON EFEKTYWNOŚCI ENERGETYCZNEJ

• Ustawa z 15 kwietnia 2011 r.

• implements Directive 2006/32/Ec of the European Parliament And Of The Council Of 5 April 2006 On Energy End-use Efficiency And Energy Services And Repealing Council Directive 93/76/Eec

• Defines:- goals related to efficient energy management- tasks for the public sector- rules for auditing and certifying energy efficiency


18

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF MAŁOPOLSKA REGION-FOR YEARS 2011-2020 (1)

• Aims of the development policy

• Complex support of modern technology applications in the areas of: safety and comfort, sustainable construction, clean energetic technologies etc.

• Air quality improvement:

• pollution reduction, especially from private household heating;

• Promotion of renewable energy sources


19

• Aims of the development policy

• Identification of current regional energy demand in comparison with currently available energy sources

• Identification of existing and potential barriers in development, followed by setting goals for further action in the area of regional renewable energetics development

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF MAŁOPOLSKA REGION-FOR YEARS 2011-2020 (2)


• In Poland heat production is based on coal - for residents it is the cheapest source of heat.

• It is much more difficult to influence the behavior of residents than the companies producing heat.

• So far effects of liqidation coal-fired boilers in the years 2008-2010 is reduction PM10 emissions by about 60 Mg/year. To achieve limit values for PM10 it is necessary to further reduce PM10 emissions by 1,370 Mg/year.

20

THREATS


• In Malopolska individual heat production sector has great potential to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions.

• It is important to integrate actions related to climate change and energy efficiency with the reduction of PM10 and PM2.5 emissions.

• The need to take into account economic efficiency of investment: achieving the greatest results at the lowest cost.
