WP2: Development of the Policy BackgroundDr. Peter Connor
21st October, 2008
WP2 aims to:
Amass national policy data
Provide overviews of chosen
national situations re RES-H/C policy
and regulation
Detail and assess policy options
Case Study of Swedish DH
success
Amass National Policy Data
Current application of RES-H/C policy
instruments
Where possible, current assessment of
RES-H/C potential and current installed
capacity
Likely future changes in policy
Current Application of RES-H/C Policy Instruments Number of Recent Sources
IEA Renewables for Heating and
Cooling: Untapped Potential (2007)
MVV consulting: Heating and Cooling
from RE (DG TREN, 2007)
K4RES-H
There may be national equivalents
Current Capacity and Potential
Number of Recent Sources
K4RES-H and associated reports
breakdown by technology
IEA Renewables for Heating and
Cooling: Untapped Potential (2007)
There may be national equivalents
Likely Changes in Policy
What is currently on the horizon?
This seems likely to be a challenge for
the project. Potential for rapid change in
short time in multiple Member States.
To what extent do we need to address
this?
Overviews of national RES-H/C Policy and Regulation
How has policy applied in practice?
What is the nature of the
heat/cooling market and how does
RES-H/C relate to this?
How is current regulation likely to
impact on RES-H/C deployment?
How has Policy Applied in Practice?
I.e. Assessment of appropriateness
of applied policies in the experience
of stakeholders.
Problems?
Lessons learned?
Nature of the Current Market
To what extent does this need to be
considered, if any?
Relate policy instrument use to
different heat/cooling/fuel delivery?
The Regulatory Regime How will policy instruments fit with different
national regulatory regimes?
Key lesson of RES-E Policy: the need to
consider the wider picture.
How can the project account for this? Do we
need to assess regulatory architecture
regarding heat/cooling provision?
Detail and Assess Policy Options
Range of policy options
Appropriateness of instruments to
different RES-H/C technologies, taking into
account;
Maturity
Potential Scale
Regulatory and Institutional framework
Others?
Must be grounded in innovation theory
Range of Policy Options Mature Technologies
Quota
Tariff/Bonus
Use Obligation
Soft Loans
Building Regulations
Taxation
Auction?
Range of Policy Options Less Mature Technologies
Grants
Use Obligation
Building Regulations
Taxation
Auction?
Quota/Tariff/Bonus?
Policy Options: Methodology
Draw on Experience with RES-E
Account for differences in nature of
RES-H/C
Where possible, assess RES-H/C
experience with instruments
Seek out stakeholder opinion
General Discussion amongst partners
Experience with RES-E
Large amount of literature: Haas et
al; IEA; Lipp; Mallon, plus many
national studies, some of which are
likely to be vital.
Large volume of assessment of
relative merits, not just financial.
Differing natures of RES-H/C and RES-E
Absence of network and impact on:
Delivery
Complexity
Trading
Application of Policy
Policy Instrument Design
Previous experience with RES-H/C
Limited beyond grants, Some Use
Obligations (Spain, Germany, UK)
Some, mostly theoretical literature;
Bürger et al, various national documents
Discussion
Stakeholder interaction
Amongst and between partners
Case Study of Swedish DH Success
To be presented by the University
of Lund
Potential Problems
Potential for rapid change in policy in some
countries over the course of the project.
Nature of heat/cooling markets may not be
readily apparent.
Understanding of regulation much less
developed than in regard of electricity markets.
Considerable differences between Member
States.
