Opportunities and strengths

• Estonia is the least dependent country from external energy

supplies in EU

• Interconnector capacities in electricity exceed peak demand

• Electricity market merged with Nordics

• On track to exceed its 2020 RES targets

• Great potential for renewables – both wind and biomass

thus good opportunity to start with cooperation mechanisms

• High share of district heating in heating sector

• Commercially feasible CHP potential mostly utilized

Threats and weaknesses

• Power generation struggling with low wholesale prices (with

capital costs often canalized off-market through various

support schemes)

• No new market based investments to power plants

• Generation aging, security of supply decomposing

• No common views on market design capable of tackling

abovementioned

• Regional cooperation can postpone the consequences not

posing ultimate solution

The discussions on future governance system

beyond 2020 for the Energy Union have started

Topical issues for security of electricity supply in Latvia

1. Recently built new modern CCGT in Latvia (Riga CHP-2) serve as a significant improvement of

generation adequacy

2. Removing bottleneck causing price difference between Estonia and Latvia by adding the new

interconnection.

3. Interconnections (Estlink I & II, 1,000 MW, NordBalt, 700 MW, LitPol, 1,000 MW) increase power

security and continuation of tie-line development with Poland can lead to synchronous connection

with Central Europe in long-term

4. Desynchronization from IPS/UPS is possible through large investments for strengthening of

interconnections in the region

5. Uncertainty in market development and high subsidy burden leads to lack of incentives to build new

dispatchable capacities and postponing state support for new RES capacities till 2017

6. In above mentioned conditions the special attention should be paid to types of generators able to

participate in improving security of supply

Importance of CHPs► Provides security of supply (reserve capacity)

► Riga CHP-1 and CHP-2 (capacity 1 GWel) ensure indirect competition:

imported electricity vs electricity generated from natural gas

► CHP plants operates according to heat load and market demand

Local Renewables

► Using local resources reduces import

► Latvia – at the top of the World • RES are 37% of the total energy demand

► Local RES • Hydro resources 2 ... 4 TWh per year

• Fuel wood 16 TWh (in 2014)

• Biogas 0.9 TWh (in 2014)

• Waste incineration 0.7 TWh (in 2014)

► Biomass technologies are appropriate for decentralized heat systems

► Over usage of biomass for district heating and electricity production might force to shut down modern CHP plants thus reducing security of electricity supply

► There is potential for new wind farm development, incl. offshore

Lithuania

► Lithuania achieving its energy security with increasing biomass use and

decreasing consumption of natural gas for district heating and power.

Biomass is more than two and half time cheaper than natural gas domestic

energy source and helps in creation of jobs.

► Lithuanian LNG terminal in Klaipeda helps diversify natural gas supply for

country and secure market price for natural gas.

The increasing share of renewables requires regional

approach to optimize residual load

Sum of national viewsPotential efficiency by

international harmonization

The sum of the individual load duration curves for all countries in a group of countries is

not equal to the (concurrent) load duration curve of the group as a whole.

or:

„On the load side, the whole is less than the sum of its parts.”

► With an integrated assessment for ensuring generation adequacy • residual load in peak hours will sink by 2 to 15 GW in the PLEF group of countries and by 15 to 50 GW in the

entire study domain until 2030,

• –the potential existing today will increase largely due to the expansion of renewable energy

• –the potential is increasing significantly when considering a larger study domain

► Wind power will be able to provide reliable available capacity of between at least 1,3 % in the PLEF and more than 4 % of installed wind capacity for the entire study domain • –We recommend a review of the process of evaluating guaranteed wind power capacity

► The residual load of the group of countries in the study domain would be negative for barely any hours per year in 2030, even considering a strong expansion of renewables • The lowest residual load for the entire study domain in case of a collective assessment scheme is up to 100

GW higher compared to the lowest residual load in case of a national assessment scheme

► If the potential to reduce residual load could be realised, then less power plant capacity would have to be reserved and less storage capacities would be necessary • Both of these factors can result in cost reductions

► The following requirements are necessary to achieve this potential: • Cross-border methods of generation adequacy assessment need to be further developed

• Processes of ensuring generation adequacy need to be internationally harmonised

• Grid infrastructure has to be developed

• In doing so, obstacles as well as transaction and transformation costs - which can be difficult to quantify but important - need to be considered

► Potential benefits from synergies need to be compared with the costs required to realise this level of integration

► Regional cooperation (e.g. in the PLEF region) can achieve quick wins which would serve to realise some of the reported potential for harmonisation. This cooperation can then be incrementally extended to larger regions

EU Energy Union outlines the EU energy policy programme

• The strong focus on the internal energy market highly appreciated,

• Market integration should be followed by policy harmonisation,

• Stronger EU energy policy needs stronger regulatory framework:

– Enforced cooperation of national energy regulators (ACER)

– Better regional cooperation of transmission operators to improve network

planning

• Decarbonisation through ambitious climate policy, energy efficiency and

renewable energy is an essential part

– EU ETS main driver for renewables and energy efficiency for the sectors covered

by the scheme

Investments in transmission are key to develop the European wholesale electricity market

• Development of the internal energy market needs to be in the centre:

– Larger markets enforce competition, more stable and competitive prices and a

better service level for the benefit of customers,

– Investments in transmission infrastructure are key to improving the market efficiency

and security of supply as well as integration of RES,

– Development of regional energy markets is the way towards a common energy

market

• The current energy only market model should be enhanced to handle more

intermittent renewable electricity with very low marginal costs:

– Energy only market model is the preferred model also in the future

– Clear EU framework needed if a Member States have to implement capacity

mechanisms, including rules for cross-border participation

– Renewable energy needs to be properly integrated in the energy market

• Structural dependency on elecricity imports (20 % of total, mainly from the Nordic

countries)

• Dependent on ”imported” capacity during peak demand

• Finland is also very dependent on energy imports (no domestic coal, gas or oil

reserves)

• Current government will try to increase domestic energy use to 55 % of total

• Mainly by replacing oil with biofuels

• Share of biomass (including peat) will likely increase in the heat and power sectors

• Drive for more domestic electricity generation

• Energy security also reflected on ownership issues of projects (e.g. Fennovoima

nuclear power plant)

Cost Competitiveness from a Swedish Perspective

• From a customer perspective:

– Focus on total cost for energy

• Market price

• Transmission and distribution cost

• Policy costs, such as subsidies

• Taxes such as electricity tax, carbon tax

– On the agenda

• Raised ambitions in the green certificate scheme (not payed by energy intensive companies)

• Revision of electricity tax for the business sector

• EU ETS and indirect effects (that Sweden does not compensate)

Solar is becoming to compete with fossils in part of Europe, but present prices are toolow for investments for all sources without subsidies

The levelised cost shows the achieved electricity price required for an investment to break even over the lifetime of the project.

Disclaimer: The presented figures do not represent Fortum’s own view on the levelised costs of electricity. The figures are based on recent external publications. Key assumptions: real discount rate 5%, corporate tax 20% . Overnight costs, €/kW 5400 for nuclear, 747 for gas, 2304 for coal, 1269

for onshore wind, 3400 offshore wind, 2700 for hydro, 975 for ground mounted solar. Peak load factor for ground mounted solar 19%; for onshore wind 27%; for offshore wind 34%, for

large hydro 40%, for nuclear, gas and coal 91%. Economical lifetime: 30 years for solar, 40 years for nuclear and hydro, 25 years for others. Fuel prices are the market forward prices as of

August 2015 extended by applying inflation of 2%. Note, there are large variations in cost of hydro, wind and solar depending on location and conditions.

Lithuania

► Support schemes for wind and solar power producers existing in Lithuania and some European countries distorts competition and lays with additional burden increasing electricity price for final consumers. Electricity generated by solar and wind power producers are purchased at a higher than market price and the difference has to be covered by other electricity consumers. Less distortion would be created in the market by subsidizing investment in generation capacities.

► Implementation of network codes requires huge resources from Baltic States comparing with its small electricity consumption only 1% of EU electricity consumption. Implementation of network codes foresee not only economic, but also technical issues to solve for NRAs, and that is why it might not ensure the appropriate protection of interests of market participants and consumers. Network codes’ implementation process may decrease the overall market coupling benefit, taking into account the above mentioned issues. All these issues could be resolved if decision are taken in institutional EU level.

Market

Fundamental problem:

long-term investments vs short-term marginal cost market

► Competition in electricity market in Latvia

• Nord Pool (national generators, import)

• Retailers

► Further efficiency increase by market integration

• Fair competition with import suppliers

• Primary resources influence on electricity generation

► Market distortion elimination ?• Large amount of feed-in tariff is not compatible with spot-market

EU Requirements and Challenges

1) Energy efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU implementation:

3) Requirements of ENTSO-E Network codes:

According to analysis results - new Network codes requirements cannot be fully executed at existing

Latvenergo power plants. Analysis should be continued through cooperation with firms and

equipment manufactures.

Effect of Subsidies ► 368 power plants receive some kind of subsidy

► The proportion of the subsidies varies (e.g., among technologies)

► The value of subsidies is assembled from electricity

end users resulting in higher electricity prices • Additional component of 2.68 ¢/kWh (2013)

Effect of Subsidies (cont.)► Unfair competition among generators

• Some generators receive subsidy together with assured sale to wholesaler authority

► Electricity-to-heat ratio: • A typical wood chip plant from 1 : 4 to 1 : 5

• Riga CHP-2 from 1 : 1 to 1.5 : 1

• Biomass CHP plants generate less electricity than natural gas plants at the same

heat amount produced

• By developing biomass

technologies to substitute

natural gas CHPs, Latvia

will increase electricity

import dependence

Setting of CO2 Prices

► Uncertainty

► Price fluctuation from 0 to 30 €/t

► Too low to stimulate RES development but raises the price of

electricity for end users • CO2 price increase by 1 € means electricity

price increase by 0.67 € in Baltics and

0.55 € in Scandinavia

► Unfair competition as generation

partly depends on political

conditions

electricity prices • Large metal processing plants, e.g., Liepajas metalurgs

• Public electrical transport

• Railway electrification in Latvia in future (consumption increase from 40 GWh to ca 500

GWh in 2030)
