Actual situation of RES in Slovakia Share of RES on primary energy consumption = 7-8% Commitment of Slovakia in 2020 – RES 14% (EÚ – 20%) CO2 emissions - EÚ = -20%, SVK = +13% (to emissions from

2005) Weak legislation for a real support of RES (RES act addopted

in June 2009-bariers) Taxes are on a high level (19%) Government was and still is strongly pushing against the

wind and photovoltaics. Political decision makers are not in favour of renewables

what is bringing our country to one of the worst places in the EU.

Barriers of RES development Policy – pressure on one specific source of

electricity (nuclear, coal) Legislation Missing financial support mechanisms (70

mil. EUR in 2009 for biomass heaters and solar panels)

Access to customers (no real market with the energy)

Administration process (licensing, EIA, access to grid connection...)

Action Plan for Energy EfficiencyEnergy savings target y.2008-2010 to 3% of final energy consumption = 12.4 PJ4.1 PJ per yearr.2016 = 37.2 PJ (9% of final energy consumption)

Necessary measures -The amendment to the Energy Efficiency Act

-Fund to promote energy efficiency100 to 200 million. Per year (Action Plan from y.2007 was speaking about only 5 million EUR for y.2008, 8.3 million EUR for y.2009 and 7 million. EUR for y.2010 – was not established)-State budget, emissions trading, CO2 tax, etc. ...-Private Sector-HTU (regional governments) and local governments budgets

382 PJ from RES382 PJ energy savings and EE

• Biomass Action Plan: "The amount of available energy in biomass is comparable to the amount of energy produced by three nuclear reactors with installed capacity of 440 MW„ (30% of electricitz consumption)

• Exploitable potential for electricity generation is (according to the Energy Policy), 1540 GWh (5% of electricity consumption in Slovakia), but the current level of use is only 0.1 GWh

• Water PP – already now 14-17%• Wind – ZVES – potential of 1,3-1,5 TWh/y in 2020 = 5%• Plans of new GPP = 1969 MW (420 MW Malzenice, 800 MW

Slovnaft, 17 + 58 MW Bratislava, 89 MW Levice, 2*50 MW Panicke Dravce, 125 MW Kosice, 40 MW Zilina – COGEN, 200 MW Zilina - GPP, 2*120 MW Lucenec). That’s more than 4 nuclear units in Mochovce

The biggest energy challenges for next 5 years:

Reform of the RES act Fund for support of RES and EE (money from CO2

auctions) Diversification of gas supplies Ensure that the prices of nuclear energy are real

(historical deficit in the National Nuclear Fund (NNF), sufficient fees into the NNF)

Serious studies about the NPP decommissioning and Spent nuclear fuel storage

Stop to mystify nuclear energy Stop to underestimate the potential of RES Finish subsidies into coal mining and nuclear energy Massively invest into solar and geothermal energy Stop to attack wind energy
