Objective:Establish a trading scheme for solar thermal certificates

Original idea:Make certificates for the life time energy savings of solar thermal
systemsConnect trading of these certificates to the new obligations for
ESCO’s to save energy
Original example:Annual savings of a small solar hot water system: 2 MWh/y
Life time: 20 yearsLife time energy savings: 40 MWh
Value*: 50 kr/MWh → 2000 kr/system (270 €/system)
Principle already used for years in Australia: “RECs”
*) Corresponding to prices in the CO2 emission trading scheme – last year!

Obligations for ESCOs to save energy:
Electricity: 1.4 PJNatural gas: 0.5 PJ
Oil: 0.15 PJAll together: 2.05 PJ per year
0.2 % of total national consumption
(Installing 40,000 m² - like in ’96 - will do half the “Oil Obligation”)

Approximate values of savings to the ESCOs:Electricity: 350 kr/MWh (47 €)
Natural gas (oil) : 150 kr/MWh (20 €)*
NB: Only first years savings counts:Electricity: 700 kr/system (93 €)
Natural gas (oil) : 300 kr/system (40 €)
Value too small for creating certificate trading scheme !
*) By the way: Quite cheap energy price – the price of oil/gas is around 440 kr/MWh without any taxes

Value per individual system is rather small …
… but still e.g. 40,000 m² corresponding to 6,000 systems represent a significant value:
Electricity: 4.2 mill kr (0.56 mill €)Natural gas (oil) : 1.8 mill kr (0.24 mill €)

Present idea:
Make an agreement between ESCOs and installers that:
ESCOs promote solar thermal systems, - promotion to be integrated in their campaigns for renewing old gas/oil boilers and electrical
water heaters
Solar systems installed by certified* installers will be recorded – and will count in the “obliged energy savings”
*) I will come back to that

Requirements on quality products/systems:
Only systems installed by certified installers will count
Only systems with certifies products (collectors, tanks, controllers) will count
Existing quality assurance schemes can be used → → →

Now how to count the savings ?
For the start up: Make use of general “standard values”
Later on:Consider use of values depending on the actual performance of the
system/component ?(in order to motivate the development and use of high performance
products)

Specific values
Standard values areactually based onthe specific values - they are generatedas an average of thevalues for the certifiedproducts

Jan Erik Nielsen, PlanEnergiResults so far:
Certificate trading scheme for individual solar thermal systems is not relevant as long as only first years savings counts
Consensus amongst ESCOs, installers associations and solar thermal association on how to calculate energy savings and economy for solar
thermal systems – and agreement that the economy looks very good with the present energy prices
“Campaign concept” decided – agreement drafted
Use of certified installers and products decided
