Model methodology

Overall methodology

Dispatch model ndash we are modelling

the hourly dispatch mimicking how

the market clearing works

Global optimization model that

minimizes all system costs subject

to a number of constrains (or

maximization of social welfare)

Formulated as a linear programming

model

Features

Optimal dispatch of generation including trade

Incorporation of start-up costs

Full EU integration capacities of all major interconnectors

Detailed hydro modelling

Accurate cycling of thermal generation

Taking into account technical restrictions part-load efficiencies reservoir levels ramping restrictions

bull Decommissioning on announced closures coal phase-out plans and lifetime approach

Renewables

bull New capacity based on subsidy systems (incl auctions) as well as long-term country strategies

bull Only minor decommissioning expected

Trend 1 ndash coal phase-outs all over Europe

Phase-outs planned in all

modelled countries

except Poland

Some are fixed in

legislation (AT FR ES

NL UK)

Others not (DE IT)

All modelled countries

have a significant

increase of renewables

We expect the largest

increase in wind

Trend 3 ndash we expect carbon prices to increase rapidly in the early years of the 2020s and relax in the later years

Political context post-2020 reform with the strengthened MSR is cutting supply short and is a game changer for the system

Participants in the last month the increased political stability incentivised financial players to participate in the system

Volume Due to the MSR abatement in the future will be necessary and will have to be delivered through fuel switch in the power sector and carbon efficiency measures in industry

Trend 4 Brexit

Power Markets

Link to internal energy markets at risk

As UK is highly dependent on electricity imports the continued functioning of the interconnectors are crucial

Long-term policies are defined independently of Brexit

Future of UK power market highly dependent on party manifestos

Carbon Markets

Creating sentiment effect in the last weeks

Short-term effects of hard Brexit selling by utilities and industrials

Long-term solution requires adjustment of the system

Both ambition levels for carbon reduction UK and EU should not be seriously affected

Mid-Term View

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 34

The fundamentalsThe MSR is increasing the pressure on compliance companies in the next years

Yearly supply is not enough

anymore to cover yearly demand

Compliance companies will be

forced to invest in reduction

measures or historic surplus needs

to come to market

First available are fuel switch from

coal to gas

Later on industrial abatement

projects

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 35

The fundamentalsWhere would CO2 reductions come from

Biggest abatement pressure is on

power sector in the beginning

Fuel switch on short notice available

No additional investments necessary

Immediate economic impact

Once fuel switch capacity is utilized

industrial and power sector need to

invest to abate emissions

Especially in second half of phase 4

industrials will start abating emissions

quicker

Conclusions

Only as of 2019 MSR intake leads to a significant scarcity on the market

In 2018 the increases are based on speculative buying and compliance

preparation for the MSR

Mid-term risks and opportunities

Hard Brexit

Clean spread development brown dark and spark spreads

Anticipation buying of compliance companies

Sell off triggered by one or few long players

Further behaviour of speculators

One key bit needs to be taken into account the TNAC is not the available surplus

Due to the exclusion of EUA compliance by the aviation sector the TNAC is higher than the available surplus

Leads to overestimation of market surplus

Higher MSR outtake

In case aviation shortfall gt400 Mt lower threshold obsolete

Higher threshold nearly impossible to undercut

But CORSIA effect

We expect this to be changed and incorporate a TNAC equal to the surplus in our analysis from 2022 onwards

Our base case analysis

Market to be squeezed in early TP4

This will trigger significant emission

reductions in power and industry

Decreasing base emissions reduce

hedge demand significantly

MSR goes back to 12 and demand

decreases (lower base emissions)

Triggered abatement increases TNAC

MSR is not capable to reduce over-

supply at the same speed

MSR parameters can be amended

with review

Two potential scenarios

Reduce thresholds (600 280 Mt)MSR continues to trigger

Consequences for the MSR parameter discussion (50 coal)

MSR parameters can be amended

with review

Two potential scenarios

Reduce thresholds (600 280 Mt)

Remain on 24 withdrawal rateMSR continues to trigger

allowances during all years

MSR withdraws 790m allowances

more compared to old thresholds

and 12 rate

TNAC remains on lower pathway

Conclusion

Changing power sector dynamics could lead to significantly lower emissions

If we factor in the current trend towards coal phase-outs all over EuropeThe surplus increases more

The hedge demand reduces more

With lower power sector demand TNAC increases with current MSR parameters

According to our analysis the MSR will not be strong enough to mitigate the surplus built-up due to lower emissions

Less demand results in laxer market balance lower prices

Adjustment of MSR parameters an option to keep market tightness

Upcoming auctions in Italy

Italy is planning to auction 79 GW of capacity between January 2019 and May 2021

Of the total 56GW will be for solar and wind competing against one another

Winning bidders will be offered a CfD contract (like the UK model for RES support)

The latest draft of the decree sets a 70 euroMWh for wind and solar

some protection against worst

Conclusions

Subsidy-free projects are beginning to emerge in a number of EU member

states

However Spain and Italy could be the first EU countries to attempt to roll out

subsidy-free capacity at scale driven by comparatively higher power prices

Investor appetite for risk given market price uncertainty will remain the greatest

challenge going forward How many projects can get off the ground

The PPA market can help de-risk projects but it remains in a nascent stage

Continued reductions in LCOE will help improve the prospects for projects

Our forecasts suggest that profit margins will be best for early movers

Carbon price floor plan

In addition to the coal phase-out the government plans to introduce a carbon price floor for the

power sector

The floor would start at euro18tonne in 2020 increasing to euro43tonne in 2030

We anticipate the floor to be below EUA prices until 2026

Carbon price floor ndash coal amp gas output

We anticipate that the carbon price floor would have no impact for the first five years after

implementation

From 2026-2030 the price floor would lead to a reduction in both coal and gas output

compared to the base case

Carbon price floor ndash net imports

Under the base case assumptions the Netherlands becomes a net exporter in 2023 and

maintains this position through to 2030

If the carbon price floor is introduced the Netherlands will revert back to a net importer status as

imports replace domestic coal amp gas generation

Carbon price floor ndash Emissions

Under the base case assumptions power sector emissions would decline only

marginally through to 2029 before a big drop associated with coal phase-out in 2030

The carbon price floor would lead to a much more significant drop 2026-2030

However the emissions decline would be cancelled out by an increase elsewhere

Hambacher Forest ndash RWE impact

Muumlnster Higher Administrative Court ruled to halt forest clearance 5 Oct

Final decision to be reached in main proceedings likely end of 2020

Lignite mining possible until approx end 2019

But annual reduction expected from 40 Mt tobetween 25 and 30 Mt (2019-21)

RWE expects substantial short-term operational effects as of 2019

Power generation to decrease by between 9 and13 TWh

Affected plants are Neurath and Niederauszligem

This would translate to a reduction

of 138 Mt emissions in 2023

Conclusions

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 138

Coal phase-out across the EU

Coal and lignite have the second largest installed capacity in the EU

10 EU countries decided to phase out coal several more in

discussion

Phase-out will come in waves 2021-2022 2025 and 2030

Regardless of coal phase-out plans BREF will affect one third of

Europersquos coal-fired capacity

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 139

Capacity implications

Three very different policy approaches to coal

Netherlands Complete phase out by 2030 and (potentially) a carbon price floor

Germany Gradual reduction over the next ten years driven by government intervention

Poland Attempting to keep capacity online using the capacity mechanism to provide support

None of the three countries will phase out coal rapidly

In absence of policy decision Industrial Emissions DirectiveBREF will define the pathway

Will the interconnectors stop flowing power

UK currently has three underwater cables connected to the EU ndash 2GW IFA with

France 1GW BritNed with Netherlands and 500MW East-West Interconnector

with Ireland

UK and EU papers make no mention of flows between the UK and EU halting

on 29 March 2019

National Grid 28 June 2018 ndash ldquoOur internal analysis backed up by two

separate external legal views has stated that there is no legal right for the

interconnectors to be simply ldquoswitched offrdquo post Brexitrdquo

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 151

What will the commercial arrangements be

UK will lose access to the single allocation platform for forward interconnection capacity European balancing platforms and the single day-ahead and intraday coupling

UKrsquos NEMOs ndash ie EPEX Spot and Nord Pool ndash will become third country operators and will no longer be able to carry out market coupling services between UK and EU

Option 1 - open to remaining in the EUrsquos internal energy market (IEM) This includes remaining part of the EUrsquos Emissions Trading System One caveat ldquoThe UK does not believe that participation in the IEM should require a common rulebook on wider environmental and climate change rulesrdquo

Option 2 ndash Leave the IEM and explore how interconnector trade continues without automatic capacity allocation National Grid has contingencies in place

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 152

Regulations and REMIT

UK market participants will have to

register with the regulatory authority

of the Member State in which they

are active

The registration form has to be

submitted prior to entering into a

transaction which is required to be

reported

ldquoThe UK is putting in place

arrangements so that when trading

after exit businesses will have

certainty that they will not face

substantially different requirements

compared to their current

obligations under the Regulation on

Wholesale Energy Market Integrity

and Transparency (REMIT)rdquo

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 153

If the UK leaves the IEM what happens

Positive for existing interconnectors Increased price divergence between UK

and continental markets possible without market coupling

Negative for interconnectors in development Investor confidence weakens

New projects already delayed

Will liquidity in wholesale market be affected

Short-term considerations

UK installations will exit the EU ETS on 29 March 2019

UK brought forward its compliance deadline to 15 March 2019

UK compliance is guaranteed for emissions year 2018

Depending on broad negotiations transition period could lead to Brexit

adjustments only for phase 4

Likely no auctioning as of 1 January 2019 in case of bdquono-dealldquo scenario or

remaining uncertainty

Conclusion

A no-deal scenario would have a moderate short-term bearish effect on EUA

prices

Fundamentally we talk about extra supply of between 100 to 130m allowances until29 March

Sentiment might weigh heavier

Long-term Brexit will in principle support carbon prices

Renewables in the UK ndash Historical development

Onshore wind and solar capacity grew

quickly under the Renewable Obligation

(RO) scheme but that is now closed

Since 2014 onshore wind and solar

have been excluded from the Contracts

for Difference (CfD) scheme

Therefore offshore wind looks set to

dominate capacity additions under

current policies

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

The UK wants to remain in the IEM while removing itself from climate

change targets and commitments

If this were to be agreed the UK would not have to commit to a share

of the EUrsquos recently agreed 2030 renewable target of 32

If there were to be no deal this would also lead to the government

dropping out of the EU renewable target

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 170

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

If this were to happen the impact on the UK would be minimal compared to current expectations

With no subsidies for onshore wind and solar future growth will come from subsidy-free projects

Funding of pound557m has already been agreed for additional CfD rounds which will lead to offshore wind growth

How would a Labour government impact renewables

While Brexit will not have a major impact on renewable development a Labour government certainly would

In October the Labour Party released plans to massively increase RES capacity by 2030

Offshore wind ndash 52GW (from 8GW currently

Onshore wind ndash 30GW (from 13GW currently)

Solar ndash 35GW (from 13GW currently)

The impact on capture prices would prevent subsidy-free developments

A massive expansion of renewables would lead to price cannibalisation pushing capture prices lower

By 2030 offshore wind capture prices are forecast to be euro22MWh below the base case assumption

Such low capture prices would prevent subsidy-free development in the long-term and lock in huge subsidies for existing capacity

Coal and gas output in the UK - Historical

UK coal output has declined considerably since the CPS was introduced in

2013 (from 137TWh in 2012 to 21TWh in 2017)

Over the same period gas generation increased from 83TWh to 120TWh

Conclusions

The biggest disrupter to the power market comes not from Brexit but from a

Labour government

This would likely lead to a rapid renewable expansion which would pressure prices lower

Under current policies renewable growth will be dominated by offshore wind in

the mid-term due to the absence of subsidies for onshore wind or solar

Despite an official coal phase-out date of October 2025 coal will be almost

completely pushed out of the mix from 2021

The UK looks set to increasingly rely on interconnectors as older thermal

capacity closes

Conclusions

Targets Unclear destiny of binding national targets

EU as a whole is at risk to miss the 2020 target as the worst performers also are largest consumers

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Long term contract between a party generating and selling electricity and a

party purchasing electricity Have existed for decades

Corporate PPA

Renewable Corporate PPA

Electricity traded between the two parties comes from a Renewable Energy

power plant PPAs are necessary to be in place prior to a RE asset

developer securing financing from a bank for their project Purchasers

are attracted by lower prices and the lsquogreen credentialsrsquo in having their power

supply come from 100 renewable sources RE Corporate PPAs are often

fixed for long periods up to 15 years to ensure revenue security for the

developer

Corporate PPAs enable businesses to source electricity from generators at

an agreed price while giving producers a reliable guaranteed buyer at a

stable price

copy EEX AG 2018

RE Corporate PPAs are quickly gaining in popularity

in Europe

4

Around 6 of new installed wind

power capacity in Europe in the

last 5 years is under PPAs

In Europe over 1GW of power was contracted

under PPAs in 2017 with 95 of this volume

coming from the Netherlands Norway

Sweden and the UK due to favourable policy

conditions

More PPAs in Germany and Europe are

expected once wind and solar assets start

coming off of subsidies in the next few

years

Old hedging horizon to Cal+3

New hedging horizon to Cal+10

EEX members have been using Power Futures to hedge merchant risk from

conventional power plants for years

EEX is investigating listing further calendar expiries to support long-term

How do EEX Power Derivatives help to mitigate

PPA Price Risk

9

Since 29th May 2018 15 long-term hedges of calendar contracts up to 2024

have been registered OTC in Spanish Power with a total volume of 116 TWh

copy EEX AG 2018

Market participants who enter into long-term PPAs can register a strip of cash-

settled calendar futures out to Cal+6 for clearing with EEX

This means that sellers can lock in a secure cash flow for up to 6 years

for the sale of electricity in the respective market area

Buyers lock in a guaranteed price of purchase for up to 6 years providing

certainty on their future electricity price and protecting against upswings

Therefore the purchase or sale of derivatives provides long-term price risk hedging

together with counterparty risk mitigation through the ECC clearing house

Example Long-Term Hedge cleared on 12 July on

Spanish Power

10

A 50 MW strip from July 18 to Cal+6 was cleared in Spanish Power on 12 July

2018 with an initial margin requirement of 6543286 EUR

The Initial Margin percentage of the notional value of the trade was 466

The execution price of each trade was 4985 EUR

Long-term hedges cause volume spikes and contribute to Open Interest

Spanish Power now has the highest Open Interest in long-dated contracts

Daily Settlement in Illiquid Contracts and Legacy

Trades

12

In illiquid long-dated contracts where there have been no order book trades

EEX uses two methods to determine settlement prices

Fair Value Providers ask chief traders from select members what their fair

values are for settlement

Market Structure take the daily price dynamic of the last liquid expiry and

apply it to the illiquid expiries (ex Cal21 increases by 30 euroct then Cal22 ndash

Cal24 will increase by 30 euroct)

Legacy Trades are possible at EEX in order to ldquoroll overrdquo a long-term hedge

at the previously traded price once a new Cal is open

Prices which are out of range must be approved by the respective General

Clearing Member

better risk management products in order to grow and

Trend 3 ndash we expect carbon prices to increase rapidly in the early years of the 2020s and relax in the later years

Political context post-2020 reform with the strengthened MSR is cutting supply short and is a game changer for the system

Participants in the last month the increased political stability incentivised financial players to participate in the system

Volume Due to the MSR abatement in the future will be necessary and will have to be delivered through fuel switch in the power sector and carbon efficiency measures in industry

Trend 4 Brexit

Power Markets

Link to internal energy markets at risk

As UK is highly dependent on electricity imports the continued functioning of the interconnectors are crucial

Long-term policies are defined independently of Brexit

Future of UK power market highly dependent on party manifestos

Carbon Markets

Creating sentiment effect in the last weeks

Short-term effects of hard Brexit selling by utilities and industrials

Long-term solution requires adjustment of the system

Both ambition levels for carbon reduction UK and EU should not be seriously affected

Mid-Term View

The fundamentalsThe MSR is increasing the pressure on compliance companies in the next years

Yearly supply is not enough

anymore to cover yearly demand

Compliance companies will be

forced to invest in reduction

measures or historic surplus needs

to come to market

First available are fuel switch from

coal to gas

Later on industrial abatement

The fundamentalsWhere would CO2 reductions come from

Biggest abatement pressure is on

power sector in the beginning

Fuel switch on short notice available

No additional investments necessary

Immediate economic impact

Once fuel switch capacity is utilized

industrial and power sector need to

invest to abate emissions

Especially in second half of phase 4

industrials will start abating emissions

Conclusions

Only as of 2019 MSR intake leads to a significant scarcity on the market

In 2018 the increases are based on speculative buying and compliance

preparation for the MSR

Mid-term risks and opportunities

Hard Brexit

Clean spread development brown dark and spark spreads

Anticipation buying of compliance companies

Sell off triggered by one or few long players

Further behaviour of speculators

One key bit needs to be taken into account the TNAC is not the available surplus

Due to the exclusion of EUA compliance by the aviation sector the TNAC is higher than the available surplus

Leads to overestimation of market surplus

Higher MSR outtake

In case aviation shortfall gt400 Mt lower threshold obsolete

Higher threshold nearly impossible to undercut

But CORSIA effect

We expect this to be changed and incorporate a TNAC equal to the surplus in our analysis from 2022 onwards

Decreasing base emissions reduce

hedge demand significantly

MSR goes back to 12 and demand

decreases (lower base emissions)

Conclusion

Changing power sector dynamics could lead to significantly lower emissions

If we factor in the current trend towards coal phase-outs all over EuropeThe surplus increases more

The hedge demand reduces more

With lower power sector demand TNAC increases with current MSR parameters

According to our analysis the MSR will not be strong enough to mitigate the surplus built-up due to lower emissions

Less demand results in laxer market balance lower prices

Adjustment of MSR parameters an option to keep market tightness

Upcoming auctions in Italy

Italy is planning to auction 79 GW of capacity between January 2019 and May 2021

Of the total 56GW will be for solar and wind competing against one another

Winning bidders will be offered a CfD contract (like the UK model for RES support)

The latest draft of the decree sets a 70 euroMWh for wind and solar

Signposts

The Spanish energy strategy due before end of 2018

The new Italian government announced it will revise its 2017 National Energy

Strategy

Strike prices in the upcoming Italian auctions

RES projects in Spanish recent auctions ndash how many projects will be

commissioned and on time

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 90

Conclusions

Subsidy-free projects are beginning to emerge in a number of EU member

states

However Spain and Italy could be the first EU countries to attempt to roll out

subsidy-free capacity at scale driven by comparatively higher power prices

Investor appetite for risk given market price uncertainty will remain the greatest

challenge going forward How many projects can get off the ground

The PPA market can help de-risk projects but it remains in a nascent stage

Continued reductions in LCOE will help improve the prospects for projects

Our forecasts suggest that profit margins will be best for early movers

Several older coal-fired plants have closed over the past three years which has

led to lower coal-fired generation output

Gas output has begun to exceed coal output and the trend will continue due to

carbon prices and coal closures

Carbon price floor plan

In addition to the coal phase-out the government plans to introduce a carbon price floor for the

power sector

The floor would start at euro18tonne in 2020 increasing to euro43tonne in 2030

We anticipate the floor to be below EUA prices until 2026

Carbon price floor ndash Emissions

Under the base case assumptions power sector emissions would decline only

marginally through to 2029 before a big drop associated with coal phase-out in 2030

The carbon price floor would lead to a much more significant drop 2026-2030

However the emissions decline would be cancelled out by an increase elsewhere

Conclusions

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 138

Coal phase-out across the EU

Coal and lignite have the second largest installed capacity in the EU

10 EU countries decided to phase out coal several more in

discussion

Phase-out will come in waves 2021-2022 2025 and 2030

Regardless of coal phase-out plans BREF will affect one third of

Europersquos coal-fired capacity

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 139

Capacity implications

Three very different policy approaches to coal

Netherlands Complete phase out by 2030 and (potentially) a carbon price floor

Germany Gradual reduction over the next ten years driven by government intervention

Poland Attempting to keep capacity online using the capacity mechanism to provide support

None of the three countries will phase out coal rapidly

In absence of policy decision Industrial Emissions DirectiveBREF will define the pathway

Generation implications ndash carbon price importance

Coal generation will fall in all three

countries regardless of the coal

capacity developments because of

the bullish EUA prices

As EUA prices soften from 2024

coal-fired output will rebound

The most significant increase will be

seen in Poland as the majority of

capacity remains online 0

Will the interconnectors stop flowing power

UK currently has three underwater cables connected to the EU ndash 2GW IFA with

France 1GW BritNed with Netherlands and 500MW East-West Interconnector

UK and EU papers make no mention of flows between the UK and EU halting

separate external legal views has stated that there is no legal right for the

interconnectors to be simply ldquoswitched offrdquo post Brexitrdquo

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 151

What will the commercial arrangements be

UK will lose access to the single allocation platform for forward interconnection capacity European balancing platforms and the single day-ahead and intraday coupling

UKrsquos NEMOs ndash ie EPEX Spot and Nord Pool ndash will become third country operators and will no longer be able to carry out market coupling services between UK and EU

Option 1 - open to remaining in the EUrsquos internal energy market (IEM) This includes remaining part of the EUrsquos Emissions Trading System One caveat ldquoThe UK does not believe that participation in the IEM should require a common rulebook on wider environmental and climate change rulesrdquo

Option 2 ndash Leave the IEM and explore how interconnector trade continues without automatic capacity allocation National Grid has contingencies in place

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 152

Regulations and REMIT

UK market participants will have to

register with the regulatory authority

of the Member State in which they

are active

The registration form has to be

submitted prior to entering into a

transaction which is required to be

reported

ldquoThe UK is putting in place

arrangements so that when trading

after exit businesses will have

certainty that they will not face

substantially different requirements

compared to their current

obligations under the Regulation on

Wholesale Energy Market Integrity

and Transparency (REMIT)rdquo

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 153

If the UK leaves the IEM what happens

Positive for existing interconnectors Increased price divergence between UK

and continental markets possible without market coupling

Negative for interconnectors in development Investor confidence weakens

Renewables in the UK ndash Historical development

Onshore wind and solar capacity grew

quickly under the Renewable Obligation

(RO) scheme but that is now closed

Since 2014 onshore wind and solar

have been excluded from the Contracts

for Difference (CfD) scheme

Therefore offshore wind looks set to

dominate capacity additions under

current policies

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

The UK wants to remain in the IEM while removing itself from climate

change targets and commitments

If this were to be agreed the UK would not have to commit to a share

of the EUrsquos recently agreed 2030 renewable target of 32

If there were to be no deal this would also lead to the government

dropping out of the EU renewable target

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 170

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

If this were to happen the impact on the UK would be minimal compared to current expectations

With no subsidies for onshore wind and solar future growth will come from subsidy-free projects

Funding of pound557m has already been agreed for additional CfD rounds which will lead to offshore wind growth

The impact on capture prices would prevent subsidy-free developments

A massive expansion of renewables would lead to price cannibalisation pushing capture prices lower

By 2030 offshore wind capture prices are forecast to be euro22MWh below the base case assumption

Such low capture prices would prevent subsidy-free development in the long-term and lock in huge subsidies for existing capacity

UK coal output has declined considerably since the CPS was introduced in

2013 (from 137TWh in 2012 to 21TWh in 2017)

Over the same period gas generation increased from 83TWh to 120TWh

Conclusions

The biggest disrupter to the power market comes not from Brexit but from a

Labour government

This would likely lead to a rapid renewable expansion which would pressure prices lower

Under current policies renewable growth will be dominated by offshore wind in

the mid-term due to the absence of subsidies for onshore wind or solar

Despite an official coal phase-out date of October 2025 coal will be almost

completely pushed out of the mix from 2021

The UK looks set to increasingly rely on interconnectors as older thermal

capacity closes

Electricity storage will play a crucial role in enabling the next phase of the energy transition

Prices are falling and based on the difference services that could be provided storage may become attractive quite soon

Conclusions

Targets Unclear destiny of binding national targets

EU as a whole is at risk to miss the 2020 target as the worst performers also are largest consumers

Statistical transfers can help fill the gap but will likely not be used for entire delta

Uncertainty regarding implications of not meeting national targets

PolicyRamp up of support and statistical transfers in early 2020s

Technology neutral auctions is the new black in mid-term

PPAs will play an important role

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Long term contract between a party generating and selling electricity and a

party purchasing electricity Have existed for decades

Corporate PPA

Renewable Corporate PPA

Electricity traded between the two parties comes from a Renewable Energy

power plant PPAs are necessary to be in place prior to a RE asset

developer securing financing from a bank for their project Purchasers

are attracted by lower prices and the lsquogreen credentialsrsquo in having their power

supply come from 100 renewable sources RE Corporate PPAs are often

fixed for long periods up to 15 years to ensure revenue security for the

developer

Corporate PPAs enable businesses to source electricity from generators at

an agreed price while giving producers a reliable guaranteed buyer at a

stable price

copy EEX AG 2018

RE Corporate PPAs are quickly gaining in popularity

in Europe

4

Around 6 of new installed wind

power capacity in Europe in the

last 5 years is under PPAs

In Europe over 1GW of power was contracted

under PPAs in 2017 with 95 of this volume

coming from the Netherlands Norway

Sweden and the UK due to favourable policy

conditions

More PPAs in Germany and Europe are

expected once wind and solar assets start

coming off of subsidies in the next few

years

EEX members have been using Power Futures to hedge merchant risk from

How do EEX Power Derivatives help to mitigate

PPA Price Risk

9

Since 29th May 2018 15 long-term hedges of calendar contracts up to 2024

have been registered OTC in Spanish Power with a total volume of 116 TWh

copy EEX AG 2018

Market participants who enter into long-term PPAs can register a strip of cash-

settled calendar futures out to Cal+6 for clearing with EEX

This means that sellers can lock in a secure cash flow for up to 6 years

for the sale of electricity in the respective market area

Buyers lock in a guaranteed price of purchase for up to 6 years providing

certainty on their future electricity price and protecting against upswings

Therefore the purchase or sale of derivatives provides long-term price risk hedging

together with counterparty risk mitigation through the ECC clearing house

Example Long-Term Hedge cleared on 12 July on

Spanish Power

10

A 50 MW strip from July 18 to Cal+6 was cleared in Spanish Power on 12 July

2018 with an initial margin requirement of 6543286 EUR

Long-term hedges cause volume spikes and contribute to Open Interest

Spanish Power now has the highest Open Interest in long-dated contracts

Daily Settlement in Illiquid Contracts and Legacy

Trades

12

In illiquid long-dated contracts where there have been no order book trades

EEX uses two methods to determine settlement prices

Fair Value Providers ask chief traders from select members what their fair

values are for settlement

Market Structure take the daily price dynamic of the last liquid expiry and

apply it to the illiquid expiries (ex Cal21 increases by 30 euroct then Cal22 ndash

Cal24 will increase by 30 euroct)

Legacy Trades are possible at EEX in order to ldquoroll overrdquo a long-term hedge

at the previously traded price once a new Cal is open

Prices which are out of range must be approved by the respective General

Clearing Member

Political context post-2020 reform with the strengthened MSR is cutting supply short and is a game changer for the system

Participants in the last month the increased political stability incentivised financial players to participate in the system

Trend 4 Brexit

Power Markets

Link to internal energy markets at risk

As UK is highly dependent on electricity imports the continued functioning of the interconnectors are crucial

Long-term policies are defined independently of Brexit

Future of UK power market highly dependent on party manifestos

Carbon Markets

Creating sentiment effect in the last weeks

Short-term effects of hard Brexit selling by utilities and industrials

Long-term solution requires adjustment of the system

Both ambition levels for carbon reduction UK and EU should not be seriously affected

Mid-Term View

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 34

The fundamentalsThe MSR is increasing the pressure on compliance companies in the next years

Yearly supply is not enough

anymore to cover yearly demand

Compliance companies will be

forced to invest in reduction

measures or historic surplus needs

to come to market

First available are fuel switch from

coal to gas

Later on industrial abatement

The fundamentalsWhere would CO2 reductions come from

Biggest abatement pressure is on

power sector in the beginning

Fuel switch on short notice available

No additional investments necessary

Immediate economic impact

Once fuel switch capacity is utilized

industrial and power sector need to

invest to abate emissions

Especially in second half of phase 4

industrials will start abating emissions

One key bit needs to be taken into account the TNAC is not the available surplus

Due to the exclusion of EUA compliance by the aviation sector the TNAC is higher than the available surplus

Leads to overestimation of market surplus

Higher MSR outtake

In case aviation shortfall gt400 Mt lower threshold obsolete

Higher threshold nearly impossible to undercut

But CORSIA effect

We expect this to be changed and incorporate a TNAC equal to the surplus in our analysis from 2022 onwards

Our base case analysis

Market to be squeezed in early TP4

This will trigger significant emission

reductions in power and industry

Decreasing base emissions reduce

hedge demand significantly

MSR goes back to 12 and demand

decreases (lower base emissions)

Triggered abatement increases TNAC

Conclusion

Changing power sector dynamics could lead to significantly lower emissions

If we factor in the current trend towards coal phase-outs all over EuropeThe surplus increases more

The hedge demand reduces more

With lower power sector demand TNAC increases with current MSR parameters

According to our analysis the MSR will not be strong enough to mitigate the surplus built-up due to lower emissions

Less demand results in laxer market balance lower prices

Adjustment of MSR parameters an option to keep market tightness

Upcoming auctions in Italy

Italy is planning to auction 79 GW of capacity between January 2019 and May 2021

Of the total 56GW will be for solar and wind competing against one another

Winning bidders will be offered a CfD contract (like the UK model for RES support)

The latest draft of the decree sets a 70 euroMWh for wind and solar

The EU has recently agreed on a

32 RES target by 2030

Italy set a 28 RES target for

2030 which is below the EU target

RES ON ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION

The SEN was presented in November 2017 after a long consultation with more than 250 stakeholders

The SEN went beyond the RES EU target proposed by the EC but it now falls short of the new target

Great part of the rise is on the power sector with solar accounting for 24 of the electricity consumption and wind for 13

The SEN foresees EUR 35bn to be invested in RES and EUR 30bn to be invested in grids

Government support Minimum price floors

Minimum price floors provide

some protection against worst

case scenario prices

However the price floor needs to

be high enough to improve

bankability but low enough to

protect the government from

paying large subsidies

The recent price floors seen in

Spain were set at very low levels

Strategy

Conclusions

Subsidy-free projects are beginning to emerge in a number of EU member

states

However Spain and Italy could be the first EU countries to attempt to roll out

subsidy-free capacity at scale driven by comparatively higher power prices

Investor appetite for risk given market price uncertainty will remain the greatest

challenge going forward How many projects can get off the ground

The PPA market can help de-risk projects but it remains in a nascent stage

Continued reductions in LCOE will help improve the prospects for projects

Our forecasts suggest that profit margins will be best for early movers

Under the base case assumptions power sector emissions would decline only

marginally through to 2029 before a big drop associated with coal phase-out in 2030

The carbon price floor would lead to a much more significant drop 2026-2030

However the emissions decline would be cancelled out by an increase elsewhere

Hambacher Forest ndash RWE impact

Muumlnster Higher Administrative Court ruled to halt forest clearance 5 Oct

Final decision to be reached in main proceedings likely end of 2020

Lignite mining possible until approx end 2019

But annual reduction expected from 40 Mt tobetween 25 and 30 Mt (2019-21)

RWE expects substantial short-term operational effects as of 2019

Power generation to decrease by between 9 and13 TWh

Affected plants are Neurath and Niederauszligem

Clearance work only permitted Oct to Feb Delay of at least a year

reduction of 182 TWh in 2023

This would translate to a reduction

of 138 Mt emissions in 2023

Below our assumptions for the

68 GW lignite and 36 GW hard

Conclusions

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 138

Coal phase-out across the EU

Coal and lignite have the second largest installed capacity in the EU

10 EU countries decided to phase out coal several more in

discussion

Phase-out will come in waves 2021-2022 2025 and 2030

Regardless of coal phase-out plans BREF will affect one third of

Europersquos coal-fired capacity

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 139

Capacity implications

Three very different policy approaches to coal

Netherlands Complete phase out by 2030 and (potentially) a carbon price floor

Germany Gradual reduction over the next ten years driven by government intervention

Poland Attempting to keep capacity online using the capacity mechanism to provide support

None of the three countries will phase out coal rapidly

In absence of policy decision Industrial Emissions DirectiveBREF will define the pathway

separate external legal views has stated that there is no legal right for the

interconnectors to be simply ldquoswitched offrdquo post Brexitrdquo

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 151

What will the commercial arrangements be

UK will lose access to the single allocation platform for forward interconnection capacity European balancing platforms and the single day-ahead and intraday coupling

UKrsquos NEMOs ndash ie EPEX Spot and Nord Pool ndash will become third country operators and will no longer be able to carry out market coupling services between UK and EU

Option 1 - open to remaining in the EUrsquos internal energy market (IEM) This includes remaining part of the EUrsquos Emissions Trading System One caveat ldquoThe UK does not believe that participation in the IEM should require a common rulebook on wider environmental and climate change rulesrdquo

Option 2 ndash Leave the IEM and explore how interconnector trade continues without automatic capacity allocation National Grid has contingencies in place

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 152

Regulations and REMIT

UK market participants will have to

register with the regulatory authority

of the Member State in which they

are active

The registration form has to be

submitted prior to entering into a

transaction which is required to be

reported

ldquoThe UK is putting in place

arrangements so that when trading

after exit businesses will have

certainty that they will not face

substantially different requirements

compared to their current

obligations under the Regulation on

Wholesale Energy Market Integrity

and Transparency (REMIT)rdquo

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 153

If the UK leaves the IEM what happens

Positive for existing interconnectors Increased price divergence between UK

and continental markets possible without market coupling

Negative for interconnectors in development Investor confidence weakens

Renewables in the UK ndash Historical development

Onshore wind and solar capacity grew

quickly under the Renewable Obligation

(RO) scheme but that is now closed

Since 2014 onshore wind and solar

have been excluded from the Contracts

for Difference (CfD) scheme

Therefore offshore wind looks set to

dominate capacity additions under

current policies

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

The UK wants to remain in the IEM while removing itself from climate

change targets and commitments

If this were to be agreed the UK would not have to commit to a share

of the EUrsquos recently agreed 2030 renewable target of 32

If there were to be no deal this would also lead to the government

dropping out of the EU renewable target

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 170

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

If this were to happen the impact on the UK would be minimal compared to current expectations

With no subsidies for onshore wind and solar future growth will come from subsidy-free projects

Funding of pound557m has already been agreed for additional CfD rounds which will lead to offshore wind growth

Onshore wind ndash 30GW (from 13GW currently)

Solar ndash 35GW (from 13GW currently)

The impact on capture prices would prevent subsidy-free developments

A massive expansion of renewables would lead to price cannibalisation pushing capture prices lower

By 2030 offshore wind capture prices are forecast to be euro22MWh below the base case assumption

Such low capture prices would prevent subsidy-free development in the long-term and lock in huge subsidies for existing capacity

Coal and gas output in the UK - Historical

UK coal output has declined considerably since the CPS was introduced in

2013 (from 137TWh in 2012 to 21TWh in 2017)

Over the same period gas generation increased from 83TWh to 120TWh

Since fuel switch has already mostly taken place the impending carbon price rise

will have less impact on the UK than on other coal-dependent countries

As a result spreads to other EU markets will narrow

Conclusions

The biggest disrupter to the power market comes not from Brexit but from a

Labour government

This would likely lead to a rapid renewable expansion which would pressure prices lower

Under current policies renewable growth will be dominated by offshore wind in

the mid-term due to the absence of subsidies for onshore wind or solar

Despite an official coal phase-out date of October 2025 coal will be almost

completely pushed out of the mix from 2021

The UK looks set to increasingly rely on interconnectors as older thermal

capacity closes

Targets Unclear destiny of binding national targets

EU as a whole is at risk to miss the 2020 target as the worst performers also are largest consumers

Statistical transfers can help fill the gap but will likely not be used for entire delta

Uncertainty regarding implications of not meeting national targets

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Long term contract between a party generating and selling electricity and a

party purchasing electricity Have existed for decades

Corporate PPA

Renewable Corporate PPA

Electricity traded between the two parties comes from a Renewable Energy

power plant PPAs are necessary to be in place prior to a RE asset

developer securing financing from a bank for their project Purchasers

are attracted by lower prices and the lsquogreen credentialsrsquo in having their power

supply come from 100 renewable sources RE Corporate PPAs are often

fixed for long periods up to 15 years to ensure revenue security for the

developer

Corporate PPAs enable businesses to source electricity from generators at

an agreed price while giving producers a reliable guaranteed buyer at a

stable price

copy EEX AG 2018

RE Corporate PPAs are quickly gaining in popularity

in Europe

Around 6 of new installed wind

power capacity in Europe in the

last 5 years is under PPAs

In Europe over 1GW of power was contracted

under PPAs in 2017 with 95 of this volume

coming from the Netherlands Norway

Sweden and the UK due to favourable policy

conditions

expected once wind and solar assets start

coming off of subsidies in the next few

How do EEX Power Derivatives help to mitigate

PPA Price Risk

9

Since 29th May 2018 15 long-term hedges of calendar contracts up to 2024

have been registered OTC in Spanish Power with a total volume of 116 TWh

copy EEX AG 2018

Market participants who enter into long-term PPAs can register a strip of cash-

settled calendar futures out to Cal+6 for clearing with EEX

This means that sellers can lock in a secure cash flow for up to 6 years

for the sale of electricity in the respective market area

Buyers lock in a guaranteed price of purchase for up to 6 years providing

certainty on their future electricity price and protecting against upswings

Therefore the purchase or sale of derivatives provides long-term price risk hedging

together with counterparty risk mitigation through the ECC clearing house

Long-term hedges cause volume spikes and contribute to Open Interest

Spanish Power now has the highest Open Interest in long-dated contracts

Daily Settlement in Illiquid Contracts and Legacy

Trades

12

In illiquid long-dated contracts where there have been no order book trades

EEX uses two methods to determine settlement prices

Fair Value Providers ask chief traders from select members what their fair

values are for settlement

Market Structure take the daily price dynamic of the last liquid expiry and

apply it to the illiquid expiries (ex Cal21 increases by 30 euroct then Cal22 ndash

Cal24 will increase by 30 euroct)

Legacy Trades are possible at EEX in order to ldquoroll overrdquo a long-term hedge

at the previously traded price once a new Cal is open

Prices which are out of range must be approved by the respective General

Clearing Member

Renewable Corporate PPAs are the dawn of a new

era in the Energy Transition

13

PPAs are an enabler of new Renewable Energy

developmentshellip

Major energy players are already starting to hedge their

long-term price risk with standard EEX products

hellipbut the market is in need of more standardisation and

better risk management products in order to grow and

meet the EUrsquos ambitious targets

EEX will ensure we remain part of our Membersrsquo long-term

hedging strategy and explore opportunities to build new

PPA-related products

Model methodology

Overall methodology

Dispatch model ndash we are modelling

the hourly dispatch mimicking how

the market clearing works

Global optimization model that

minimizes all system costs subject

to a number of constrains (or

maximization of social welfare)

Formulated as a linear programming

model

Features

Optimal dispatch of generation including trade

Incorporation of start-up costs

Full EU integration capacities of all major interconnectors

Detailed hydro modelling

Accurate cycling of thermal generation

Taking into account technical restrictions part-load efficiencies reservoir levels ramping restrictions

Trend 3 ndash we expect carbon prices to increase rapidly in the early years of the 2020s and relax in the later years

Political context post-2020 reform with the strengthened MSR is cutting supply short and is a game changer for the system

Participants in the last month the increased political stability incentivised financial players to participate in the system

Volume Due to the MSR abatement in the future will be necessary and will have to be delivered through fuel switch in the power sector and carbon efficiency measures in industry

Trend 4 Brexit

Power Markets

Link to internal energy markets at risk

As UK is highly dependent on electricity imports the continued functioning of the interconnectors are crucial

Long-term policies are defined independently of Brexit

Future of UK power market highly dependent on party manifestos

Carbon Markets

Creating sentiment effect in the last weeks

Short-term effects of hard Brexit selling by utilities and industrials

Long-term solution requires adjustment of the system

Both ambition levels for carbon reduction UK and EU should not be seriously affected

Mid-Term View

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 34

The fundamentalsThe MSR is increasing the pressure on compliance companies in the next years

Yearly supply is not enough

anymore to cover yearly demand

Compliance companies will be

forced to invest in reduction

measures or historic surplus needs

to come to market

First available are fuel switch from

coal to gas

Later on industrial abatement

The fundamentalsWhere would CO2 reductions come from

Biggest abatement pressure is on

power sector in the beginning

Fuel switch on short notice available

No additional investments necessary

Immediate economic impact

Once fuel switch capacity is utilized

industrial and power sector need to

invest to abate emissions

Especially in second half of phase 4

industrials will start abating emissions

Only as of 2019 MSR intake leads to a significant scarcity on the market

In 2018 the increases are based on speculative buying and compliance

preparation for the MSR

Mid-term risks and opportunities

Hard Brexit

Clean spread development brown dark and spark spreads

Anticipation buying of compliance companies

Sell off triggered by one or few long players

One key bit needs to be taken into account the TNAC is not the available surplus

Due to the exclusion of EUA compliance by the aviation sector the TNAC is higher than the available surplus

Leads to overestimation of market surplus

Higher MSR outtake

In case aviation shortfall gt400 Mt lower threshold obsolete

Higher threshold nearly impossible to undercut

But CORSIA effect

We expect this to be changed and incorporate a TNAC equal to the surplus in our analysis from 2022 onwards

Our base case analysis

Market to be squeezed in early TP4

This will trigger significant emission

reductions in power and industry

Decreasing base emissions reduce

hedge demand significantly

MSR goes back to 12 and demand

decreases (lower base emissions)

Triggered abatement increases TNAC

MSR is not capable to reduce over-

supply at the same speed

Conclusion

Changing power sector dynamics could lead to significantly lower emissions

If we factor in the current trend towards coal phase-outs all over EuropeThe surplus increases more

The hedge demand reduces more

With lower power sector demand TNAC increases with current MSR parameters

According to our analysis the MSR will not be strong enough to mitigate the surplus built-up due to lower emissions

Less demand results in laxer market balance lower prices

Adjustment of MSR parameters an option to keep market tightness

Upcoming auctions in Italy

Italy is planning to auction 79 GW of capacity between January 2019 and May 2021

Of the total 56GW will be for solar and wind competing against one another

Winning bidders will be offered a CfD contract (like the UK model for RES support)

The latest draft of the decree sets a 70 euroMWh for wind and solar

Conclusions

Subsidy-free projects are beginning to emerge in a number of EU member

states

However Spain and Italy could be the first EU countries to attempt to roll out

subsidy-free capacity at scale driven by comparatively higher power prices

Investor appetite for risk given market price uncertainty will remain the greatest

challenge going forward How many projects can get off the ground

The PPA market can help de-risk projects but it remains in a nascent stage

Continued reductions in LCOE will help improve the prospects for projects

Our forecasts suggest that profit margins will be best for early movers

Modelling Impact on gas output

Gas-fired output will increase through to 2023 as EUA prices drive fuel switching

Output will decline in the later 2020s due to softening EUAs and increased RES

Full coal phase-out in 2030 will lead to an increase in gas output

Carbon price floor plan

In addition to the coal phase-out the government plans to introduce a carbon price floor for the

power sector

The floor would start at euro18tonne in 2020 increasing to euro43tonne in 2030

We anticipate the floor to be below EUA prices until 2026

Carbon price floor ndash coal amp gas output

We anticipate that the carbon price floor would have no impact for the first five years after

implementation

From 2026-2030 the price floor would lead to a reduction in both coal and gas output

Carbon price floor ndash net imports

Under the base case assumptions the Netherlands becomes a net exporter in 2023 and

maintains this position through to 2030

If the carbon price floor is introduced the Netherlands will revert back to a net importer status as

imports replace domestic coal amp gas generation

Carbon price floor ndash Emissions

Under the base case assumptions power sector emissions would decline only

marginally through to 2029 before a big drop associated with coal phase-out in 2030

The carbon price floor would lead to a much more significant drop 2026-2030

However the emissions decline would be cancelled out by an increase elsewhere

Hambacher Forest ndash RWE impact

Muumlnster Higher Administrative Court ruled to halt forest clearance 5 Oct

Final decision to be reached in main proceedings likely end of 2020

Lignite mining possible until approx end 2019

But annual reduction expected from 40 Mt tobetween 25 and 30 Mt (2019-21)

RWE expects substantial short-term operational effects as of 2019

Power generation to decrease by between 9 and13 TWh

Affected plants are Neurath and Niederauszligem

Clearance work only permitted Oct to Feb Delay of at least a year

This would translate to a reduction

of 138 Mt emissions in 2023

Conclusions

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 138

Coal phase-out across the EU

Coal and lignite have the second largest installed capacity in the EU

10 EU countries decided to phase out coal several more in

discussion

Phase-out will come in waves 2021-2022 2025 and 2030

Regardless of coal phase-out plans BREF will affect one third of

Europersquos coal-fired capacity

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 139

Capacity implications

Three very different policy approaches to coal

Netherlands Complete phase out by 2030 and (potentially) a carbon price floor

Germany Gradual reduction over the next ten years driven by government intervention

Poland Attempting to keep capacity online using the capacity mechanism to provide support

None of the three countries will phase out coal rapidly

In absence of policy decision Industrial Emissions DirectiveBREF will define the pathway

Regulations and REMIT

UK market participants will have to

register with the regulatory authority

of the Member State in which they

are active

The registration form has to be

submitted prior to entering into a

transaction which is required to be

reported

ldquoThe UK is putting in place

arrangements so that when trading

after exit businesses will have

certainty that they will not face

substantially different requirements

compared to their current

obligations under the Regulation on

Wholesale Energy Market Integrity

and Transparency (REMIT)rdquo

If the UK leaves the IEM what happens

Positive for existing interconnectors Increased price divergence between UK

and continental markets possible without market coupling

Negative for interconnectors in development Investor confidence weakens

Conclusion

A no-deal scenario would have a moderate short-term bearish effect on EUA

Renewables in the UK ndash Historical development

Onshore wind and solar capacity grew

quickly under the Renewable Obligation

(RO) scheme but that is now closed

Since 2014 onshore wind and solar

have been excluded from the Contracts

for Difference (CfD) scheme

Therefore offshore wind looks set to

dominate capacity additions under

current policies

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

The UK wants to remain in the IEM while removing itself from climate

change targets and commitments

If this were to be agreed the UK would not have to commit to a share

of the EUrsquos recently agreed 2030 renewable target of 32

If there were to be no deal this would also lead to the government

dropping out of the EU renewable target

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 170

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

If this were to happen the impact on the UK would be minimal compared to current expectations

With no subsidies for onshore wind and solar future growth will come from subsidy-free projects

Funding of pound557m has already been agreed for additional CfD rounds which will lead to offshore wind growth

How would a Labour government impact renewables

While Brexit will not have a major impact on renewable development a Labour government certainly would

In October the Labour Party released plans to massively increase RES capacity by 2030

Offshore wind ndash 52GW (from 8GW currently

Onshore wind ndash 30GW (from 13GW currently)

Solar ndash 35GW (from 13GW currently)

The impact on capture prices would prevent subsidy-free developments

A massive expansion of renewables would lead to price cannibalisation pushing capture prices lower

By 2030 offshore wind capture prices are forecast to be euro22MWh below the base case assumption

Such low capture prices would prevent subsidy-free development in the long-term and lock in huge subsidies for existing capacity

Coal and gas output in the UK - Historical

UK coal output has declined considerably since the CPS was introduced in

2013 (from 137TWh in 2012 to 21TWh in 2017)

Over the same period gas generation increased from 83TWh to 120TWh

Conclusions

The biggest disrupter to the power market comes not from Brexit but from a

Labour government

This would likely lead to a rapid renewable expansion which would pressure prices lower

Under current policies renewable growth will be dominated by offshore wind in

the mid-term due to the absence of subsidies for onshore wind or solar

Despite an official coal phase-out date of October 2025 coal will be almost

completely pushed out of the mix from 2021

The UK looks set to increasingly rely on interconnectors as older thermal

capacity closes

Higher RES in the system will require a higher degree of flexibility

Electricity storage will play a crucial role in enabling the next phase of the energy transition

Prices are falling and based on the difference services that could be provided storage may become attractive quite soon

Power-to-gas may enter into the game (seasonal storage)

Conclusions

Targets Unclear destiny of binding national targets

EU as a whole is at risk to miss the 2020 target as the worst performers also are largest consumers

Statistical transfers can help fill the gap but will likely not be used for entire delta

Uncertainty regarding implications of not meeting national targets

PolicyRamp up of support and statistical transfers in early 2020s

Technology neutral auctions is the new black in mid-term

PPAs will play an important role

Wind and solar utility-scale projects are already competitive with conventional thermal

Storage systems will be essential in driving the decarbonisation

Market impactGrid-parity is already a reality in some cases while market parity maybe just behind the corner

Carbon price pushing up power prices will make renewables far more competitive reducing the need for subsidies

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Long term contract between a party generating and selling electricity and a

party purchasing electricity Have existed for decades

Corporate PPA

Renewable Corporate PPA

Electricity traded between the two parties comes from a Renewable Energy

power plant PPAs are necessary to be in place prior to a RE asset

developer securing financing from a bank for their project Purchasers

are attracted by lower prices and the lsquogreen credentialsrsquo in having their power

supply come from 100 renewable sources RE Corporate PPAs are often

fixed for long periods up to 15 years to ensure revenue security for the

developer

Corporate PPAs enable businesses to source electricity from generators at

an agreed price while giving producers a reliable guaranteed buyer at a

stable price

copy EEX AG 2018

RE Corporate PPAs are quickly gaining in popularity

in Europe

4

Around 6 of new installed wind

power capacity in Europe in the

last 5 years is under PPAs

In Europe over 1GW of power was contracted

under PPAs in 2017 with 95 of this volume

coming from the Netherlands Norway

Sweden and the UK due to favourable policy

conditions

More PPAs in Germany and Europe are

expected once wind and solar assets start

coming off of subsidies in the next few

years

Old hedging horizon to Cal+3

EEX members have been using Power Futures to hedge merchant risk from

conventional power plants for years

EEX is investigating listing further calendar expiries to support long-term

How do EEX Power Derivatives help to mitigate

PPA Price Risk

9

Since 29th May 2018 15 long-term hedges of calendar contracts up to 2024

have been registered OTC in Spanish Power with a total volume of 116 TWh

copy EEX AG 2018

Market participants who enter into long-term PPAs can register a strip of cash-

settled calendar futures out to Cal+6 for clearing with EEX

This means that sellers can lock in a secure cash flow for up to 6 years

for the sale of electricity in the respective market area

Buyers lock in a guaranteed price of purchase for up to 6 years providing

certainty on their future electricity price and protecting against upswings

Therefore the purchase or sale of derivatives provides long-term price risk hedging

together with counterparty risk mitigation through the ECC clearing house

Example Long-Term Hedge cleared on 12 July on

Spanish Power

10

A 50 MW strip from July 18 to Cal+6 was cleared in Spanish Power on 12 July

2018 with an initial margin requirement of 6543286 EUR

The Initial Margin percentage of the notional value of the trade was 466

The execution price of each trade was 4985 EUR

Long-term hedges cause volume spikes and contribute to Open Interest

Spanish Power now has the highest Open Interest in long-dated contracts

Daily Settlement in Illiquid Contracts and Legacy

Trades

12

In illiquid long-dated contracts where there have been no order book trades

EEX uses two methods to determine settlement prices

Fair Value Providers ask chief traders from select members what their fair

values are for settlement

Market Structure take the daily price dynamic of the last liquid expiry and

apply it to the illiquid expiries (ex Cal21 increases by 30 euroct then Cal22 ndash

Cal24 will increase by 30 euroct)

Legacy Trades are possible at EEX in order to ldquoroll overrdquo a long-term hedge

at the previously traded price once a new Cal is open

Prices which are out of range must be approved by the respective General

Clearing Member

Renewable Corporate PPAs are the dawn of a new

era in the Energy Transition

13

PPAs are an enabler of new Renewable Energy

developmentshellip

Major energy players are already starting to hedge their

long-term price risk with standard EEX products

hellipbut the market is in need of more standardisation and

better risk management products in order to grow and

meet the EUrsquos ambitious targets

EEX will ensure we remain part of our Membersrsquo long-term

hedging strategy and explore opportunities to build new

Model methodology

Overall methodology

Dispatch model ndash we are modelling

the hourly dispatch mimicking how

the market clearing works

Global optimization model that

minimizes all system costs subject

to a number of constrains (or

maximization of social welfare)

Formulated as a linear programming

model

Features

Optimal dispatch of generation including trade

Incorporation of start-up costs

Full EU integration capacities of all major interconnectors

Detailed hydro modelling

Trend 3 ndash we expect carbon prices to increase rapidly in the early years of the 2020s and relax in the later years

Political context post-2020 reform with the strengthened MSR is cutting supply short and is a game changer for the system

Participants in the last month the increased political stability incentivised financial players to participate in the system

Volume Due to the MSR abatement in the future will be necessary and will have to be delivered through fuel switch in the power sector and carbon efficiency measures in industry

Trend 4 Brexit

Power Markets

Link to internal energy markets at risk

As UK is highly dependent on electricity imports the continued functioning of the interconnectors are crucial

Long-term policies are defined independently of Brexit

Future of UK power market highly dependent on party manifestos

Carbon Markets

Creating sentiment effect in the last weeks

Short-term effects of hard Brexit selling by utilities and industrials

Long-term solution requires adjustment of the system

Both ambition levels for carbon reduction UK and EU should not be seriously affected

Mid-Term View

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 34

The fundamentalsThe MSR is increasing the pressure on compliance companies in the next years

Yearly supply is not enough

anymore to cover yearly demand

Compliance companies will be

forced to invest in reduction

measures or historic surplus needs

to come to market

First available are fuel switch from

coal to gas

Later on industrial abatement

The fundamentalsWhere would CO2 reductions come from

Biggest abatement pressure is on

power sector in the beginning

Fuel switch on short notice available

No additional investments necessary

Immediate economic impact

Once fuel switch capacity is utilized

industrial and power sector need to

invest to abate emissions

Especially in second half of phase 4

industrials will start abating emissions

Conclusions

Only as of 2019 MSR intake leads to a significant scarcity on the market

In 2018 the increases are based on speculative buying and compliance

preparation for the MSR

Mid-term risks and opportunities

Hard Brexit

Clean spread development brown dark and spark spreads

Anticipation buying of compliance companies

Sell off triggered by one or few long players

Further behaviour of speculators

One key bit needs to be taken into account the TNAC is not the available surplus

Due to the exclusion of EUA compliance by the aviation sector the TNAC is higher than the available surplus

Leads to overestimation of market surplus

Higher MSR outtake

In case aviation shortfall gt400 Mt lower threshold obsolete

Higher threshold nearly impossible to undercut

But CORSIA effect

We expect this to be changed and incorporate a TNAC equal to the surplus in our analysis from 2022 onwards

Conclusion

Changing power sector dynamics could lead to significantly lower emissions

If we factor in the current trend towards coal phase-outs all over EuropeThe surplus increases more

The hedge demand reduces more

With lower power sector demand TNAC increases with current MSR parameters

According to our analysis the MSR will not be strong enough to mitigate the surplus built-up due to lower emissions

Less demand results in laxer market balance lower prices

Adjustment of MSR parameters an option to keep market tightness

Upcoming auctions in Italy

Italy is planning to auction 79 GW of capacity between January 2019 and May 2021

Of the total 56GW will be for solar and wind competing against one another

Winning bidders will be offered a CfD contract (like the UK model for RES support)

The latest draft of the decree sets a 70 euroMWh for wind and solar

There is increasing talk in the UK

over ldquosubsidy-freerdquo CfDs for onshore

wind and solar

A similar idea could be seen in Italy

in the future

Generators would only be able to bid

in at the forecast power price level

Potential upside for the government

if prices rise above expectations but

downside if prices fall as subsidies

would be paid

Signposts

The Spanish energy strategy due before end of 2018

The new Italian government announced it will revise its 2017 National Energy

Strategy

Strike prices in the upcoming Italian auctions

RES projects in Spanish recent auctions ndash how many projects will be

commissioned and on time

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 90

Conclusions

Subsidy-free projects are beginning to emerge in a number of EU member

states

However Spain and Italy could be the first EU countries to attempt to roll out

subsidy-free capacity at scale driven by comparatively higher power prices

Investor appetite for risk given market price uncertainty will remain the greatest

challenge going forward How many projects can get off the ground

The PPA market can help de-risk projects but it remains in a nascent stage

Continued reductions in LCOE will help improve the prospects for projects

Our forecasts suggest that profit margins will be best for early movers

Several older coal-fired plants have closed over the past three years which has

led to lower coal-fired generation output

Gas output has begun to exceed coal output and the trend will continue due to

carbon prices and coal closures

Carbon price floor plan

In addition to the coal phase-out the government plans to introduce a carbon price floor for the

power sector

The floor would start at euro18tonne in 2020 increasing to euro43tonne in 2030

We anticipate the floor to be below EUA prices until 2026

Carbon price floor ndash Emissions

Under the base case assumptions power sector emissions would decline only

marginally through to 2029 before a big drop associated with coal phase-out in 2030

The carbon price floor would lead to a much more significant drop 2026-2030

However the emissions decline would be cancelled out by an increase elsewhere

softening

Prices driven higher by

EUA price increase

Conclusions

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 138

Coal phase-out across the EU

Coal and lignite have the second largest installed capacity in the EU

10 EU countries decided to phase out coal several more in

discussion

Phase-out will come in waves 2021-2022 2025 and 2030

Regardless of coal phase-out plans BREF will affect one third of

Europersquos coal-fired capacity

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 139

Capacity implications

Three very different policy approaches to coal

Netherlands Complete phase out by 2030 and (potentially) a carbon price floor

Germany Gradual reduction over the next ten years driven by government intervention

Poland Attempting to keep capacity online using the capacity mechanism to provide support

None of the three countries will phase out coal rapidly

In absence of policy decision Industrial Emissions DirectiveBREF will define the pathway

Generation implications ndash carbon price importance

Coal generation will fall in all three

countries regardless of the coal

capacity developments because of

the bullish EUA prices

As EUA prices soften from 2024

coal-fired output will rebound

The most significant increase will be

seen in Poland as the majority of

capacity remains online 0

Will the interconnectors stop flowing power

UK currently has three underwater cables connected to the EU ndash 2GW IFA with

France 1GW BritNed with Netherlands and 500MW East-West Interconnector

separate external legal views has stated that there is no legal right for the

interconnectors to be simply ldquoswitched offrdquo post Brexitrdquo

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 151

What will the commercial arrangements be

UK will lose access to the single allocation platform for forward interconnection capacity European balancing platforms and the single day-ahead and intraday coupling

UKrsquos NEMOs ndash ie EPEX Spot and Nord Pool ndash will become third country operators and will no longer be able to carry out market coupling services between UK and EU

Option 1 - open to remaining in the EUrsquos internal energy market (IEM) This includes remaining part of the EUrsquos Emissions Trading System One caveat ldquoThe UK does not believe that participation in the IEM should require a common rulebook on wider environmental and climate change rulesrdquo

Option 2 ndash Leave the IEM and explore how interconnector trade continues without automatic capacity allocation National Grid has contingencies in place

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 152

Regulations and REMIT

UK market participants will have to

register with the regulatory authority

of the Member State in which they

are active

The registration form has to be

submitted prior to entering into a

transaction which is required to be

reported

ldquoThe UK is putting in place

arrangements so that when trading

after exit businesses will have

certainty that they will not face

substantially different requirements

compared to their current

obligations under the Regulation on

Wholesale Energy Market Integrity

and Transparency (REMIT)rdquo

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 153

If the UK leaves the IEM what happens

Positive for existing interconnectors Increased price divergence between UK

and continental markets possible without market coupling

Negative for interconnectors in development Investor confidence weakens

Renewables in the UK ndash Historical development

Onshore wind and solar capacity grew

quickly under the Renewable Obligation

(RO) scheme but that is now closed

Since 2014 onshore wind and solar

have been excluded from the Contracts

for Difference (CfD) scheme

Therefore offshore wind looks set to

dominate capacity additions under

current policies

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

The UK wants to remain in the IEM while removing itself from climate

change targets and commitments

If this were to be agreed the UK would not have to commit to a share

of the EUrsquos recently agreed 2030 renewable target of 32

If there were to be no deal this would also lead to the government

dropping out of the EU renewable target

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 170

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

If this were to happen the impact on the UK would be minimal compared to current expectations

With no subsidies for onshore wind and solar future growth will come from subsidy-free projects

Funding of pound557m has already been agreed for additional CfD rounds which will lead to offshore wind growth

The impact on capture prices would prevent subsidy-free developments

A massive expansion of renewables would lead to price cannibalisation pushing capture prices lower

By 2030 offshore wind capture prices are forecast to be euro22MWh below the base case assumption

Such low capture prices would prevent subsidy-free development in the long-term and lock in huge subsidies for existing capacity

UK coal output has declined considerably since the CPS was introduced in

2013 (from 137TWh in 2012 to 21TWh in 2017)

Over the same period gas generation increased from 83TWh to 120TWh

Conclusions

The biggest disrupter to the power market comes not from Brexit but from a

Labour government

This would likely lead to a rapid renewable expansion which would pressure prices lower

Under current policies renewable growth will be dominated by offshore wind in

the mid-term due to the absence of subsidies for onshore wind or solar

Despite an official coal phase-out date of October 2025 coal will be almost

completely pushed out of the mix from 2021

The UK looks set to increasingly rely on interconnectors as older thermal

capacity closes

Conclusions

Targets Unclear destiny of binding national targets

EU as a whole is at risk to miss the 2020 target as the worst performers also are largest consumers

Statistical transfers can help fill the gap but will likely not be used for entire delta

Uncertainty regarding implications of not meeting national targets

PolicyRamp up of support and statistical transfers in early 2020s

Technology neutral auctions is the new black in mid-term

PPAs will play an important role

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Long term contract between a party generating and selling electricity and a

party purchasing electricity Have existed for decades

Corporate PPA

Renewable Corporate PPA

Electricity traded between the two parties comes from a Renewable Energy

power plant PPAs are necessary to be in place prior to a RE asset

developer securing financing from a bank for their project Purchasers

are attracted by lower prices and the lsquogreen credentialsrsquo in having their power

supply come from 100 renewable sources RE Corporate PPAs are often

fixed for long periods up to 15 years to ensure revenue security for the

developer

Corporate PPAs enable businesses to source electricity from generators at

an agreed price while giving producers a reliable guaranteed buyer at a

stable price

copy EEX AG 2018

RE Corporate PPAs are quickly gaining in popularity

in Europe

4

Around 6 of new installed wind

power capacity in Europe in the

last 5 years is under PPAs

In Europe over 1GW of power was contracted

under PPAs in 2017 with 95 of this volume

coming from the Netherlands Norway

Sweden and the UK due to favourable policy

conditions

More PPAs in Germany and Europe are

expected once wind and solar assets start

coming off of subsidies in the next few

years

EEX members have been using Power Futures to hedge merchant risk from

How do EEX Power Derivatives help to mitigate

PPA Price Risk

9

Since 29th May 2018 15 long-term hedges of calendar contracts up to 2024

have been registered OTC in Spanish Power with a total volume of 116 TWh

copy EEX AG 2018

Market participants who enter into long-term PPAs can register a strip of cash-

settled calendar futures out to Cal+6 for clearing with EEX

This means that sellers can lock in a secure cash flow for up to 6 years

for the sale of electricity in the respective market area

Buyers lock in a guaranteed price of purchase for up to 6 years providing

certainty on their future electricity price and protecting against upswings

Therefore the purchase or sale of derivatives provides long-term price risk hedging

together with counterparty risk mitigation through the ECC clearing house

Example Long-Term Hedge cleared on 12 July on

Spanish Power

10

A 50 MW strip from July 18 to Cal+6 was cleared in Spanish Power on 12 July

2018 with an initial margin requirement of 6543286 EUR

Long-term hedges cause volume spikes and contribute to Open Interest

Spanish Power now has the highest Open Interest in long-dated contracts

Daily Settlement in Illiquid Contracts and Legacy

Trades

12

In illiquid long-dated contracts where there have been no order book trades

EEX uses two methods to determine settlement prices

Fair Value Providers ask chief traders from select members what their fair

values are for settlement

Market Structure take the daily price dynamic of the last liquid expiry and

apply it to the illiquid expiries (ex Cal21 increases by 30 euroct then Cal22 ndash

Cal24 will increase by 30 euroct)

Legacy Trades are possible at EEX in order to ldquoroll overrdquo a long-term hedge

at the previously traded price once a new Cal is open

Prices which are out of range must be approved by the respective General

Clearing Member

better risk management products in order to grow and

meet the EUrsquos ambitious targets

Political context post-2020 reform with the strengthened MSR is cutting supply short and is a game changer for the system

Participants in the last month the increased political stability incentivised financial players to participate in the system

Volume Due to the MSR abatement in the future will be necessary and will have to be delivered through fuel switch in the power sector and carbon efficiency measures in industry

Trend 4 Brexit

Power Markets

Link to internal energy markets at risk

As UK is highly dependent on electricity imports the continued functioning of the interconnectors are crucial

Long-term policies are defined independently of Brexit

Future of UK power market highly dependent on party manifestos

Carbon Markets

Creating sentiment effect in the last weeks

Short-term effects of hard Brexit selling by utilities and industrials

Long-term solution requires adjustment of the system

Both ambition levels for carbon reduction UK and EU should not be seriously affected

Mid-Term View

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 34

The fundamentalsThe MSR is increasing the pressure on compliance companies in the next years

Yearly supply is not enough

anymore to cover yearly demand

Compliance companies will be

forced to invest in reduction

measures or historic surplus needs

to come to market

First available are fuel switch from

coal to gas

Later on industrial abatement

projects

The fundamentalsWhere would CO2 reductions come from

Biggest abatement pressure is on

power sector in the beginning

Fuel switch on short notice available

No additional investments necessary

Immediate economic impact

Once fuel switch capacity is utilized

industrial and power sector need to

invest to abate emissions

Especially in second half of phase 4

industrials will start abating emissions

One key bit needs to be taken into account the TNAC is not the available surplus

Due to the exclusion of EUA compliance by the aviation sector the TNAC is higher than the available surplus

Leads to overestimation of market surplus

Higher MSR outtake

In case aviation shortfall gt400 Mt lower threshold obsolete

Higher threshold nearly impossible to undercut

But CORSIA effect

We expect this to be changed and incorporate a TNAC equal to the surplus in our analysis from 2022 onwards

Our base case analysis

Market to be squeezed in early TP4

This will trigger significant emission

reductions in power and industry

Decreasing base emissions reduce

hedge demand significantly

MSR goes back to 12 and demand

decreases (lower base emissions)

Triggered abatement increases TNAC

MSR is not capable to reduce over-

supply at the same speed

Conclusion

Changing power sector dynamics could lead to significantly lower emissions

If we factor in the current trend towards coal phase-outs all over EuropeThe surplus increases more

The hedge demand reduces more

With lower power sector demand TNAC increases with current MSR parameters

According to our analysis the MSR will not be strong enough to mitigate the surplus built-up due to lower emissions

Less demand results in laxer market balance lower prices

Adjustment of MSR parameters an option to keep market tightness

Upcoming auctions in Italy

Italy is planning to auction 79 GW of capacity between January 2019 and May 2021

Of the total 56GW will be for solar and wind competing against one another

Winning bidders will be offered a CfD contract (like the UK model for RES support)

The latest draft of the decree sets a 70 euroMWh for wind and solar

RES ON ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION

The SEN was presented in November 2017 after a long consultation with more than 250 stakeholders

The SEN went beyond the RES EU target proposed by the EC but it now falls short of the new target

Great part of the rise is on the power sector with solar accounting for 24 of the electricity consumption and wind for 13

The SEN foresees EUR 35bn to be invested in RES and EUR 30bn to be invested in grids

Government support Minimum price floors

Minimum price floors provide

some protection against worst

case scenario prices

However the price floor needs to

be high enough to improve

bankability but low enough to

protect the government from

paying large subsidies

Spain were set at very low levels

Conclusions

Subsidy-free projects are beginning to emerge in a number of EU member

states

However Spain and Italy could be the first EU countries to attempt to roll out

subsidy-free capacity at scale driven by comparatively higher power prices

Investor appetite for risk given market price uncertainty will remain the greatest

challenge going forward How many projects can get off the ground

The PPA market can help de-risk projects but it remains in a nascent stage

Continued reductions in LCOE will help improve the prospects for projects

Our forecasts suggest that profit margins will be best for early movers

Under the base case assumptions power sector emissions would decline only

The carbon price floor would lead to a much more significant drop 2026-2030

However the emissions decline would be cancelled out by an increase elsewhere

Hambacher Forest ndash RWE impact

Muumlnster Higher Administrative Court ruled to halt forest clearance 5 Oct

Final decision to be reached in main proceedings likely end of 2020

Lignite mining possible until approx end 2019

But annual reduction expected from 40 Mt tobetween 25 and 30 Mt (2019-21)

RWE expects substantial short-term operational effects as of 2019

Power generation to decrease by between 9 and13 TWh

Affected plants are Neurath and Niederauszligem

Clearance work only permitted Oct to Feb Delay of at least a year

Impact on Hambach generation

With potential closures we see a

reduction of 182 TWh in 2023

This would translate to a reduction

of 138 Mt emissions in 2023

Below our assumptions for the

bdquomoderate scenarioldquo which assumes

68 GW lignite and 36 GW hard

coal to drop-out

Conclusions

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 138

Coal phase-out across the EU

Coal and lignite have the second largest installed capacity in the EU

10 EU countries decided to phase out coal several more in

discussion

Phase-out will come in waves 2021-2022 2025 and 2030

Regardless of coal phase-out plans BREF will affect one third of

Europersquos coal-fired capacity

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 139

Capacity implications

Three very different policy approaches to coal

Netherlands Complete phase out by 2030 and (potentially) a carbon price floor

Germany Gradual reduction over the next ten years driven by government intervention

Poland Attempting to keep capacity online using the capacity mechanism to provide support

None of the three countries will phase out coal rapidly

In absence of policy decision Industrial Emissions DirectiveBREF will define the pathway

separate external legal views has stated that there is no legal right for the

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 151

What will the commercial arrangements be

UK will lose access to the single allocation platform for forward interconnection capacity European balancing platforms and the single day-ahead and intraday coupling

UKrsquos NEMOs ndash ie EPEX Spot and Nord Pool ndash will become third country operators and will no longer be able to carry out market coupling services between UK and EU

Option 1 - open to remaining in the EUrsquos internal energy market (IEM) This includes remaining part of the EUrsquos Emissions Trading System One caveat ldquoThe UK does not believe that participation in the IEM should require a common rulebook on wider environmental and climate change rulesrdquo

Option 2 ndash Leave the IEM and explore how interconnector trade continues without automatic capacity allocation National Grid has contingencies in place

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 152

Regulations and REMIT

UK market participants will have to

register with the regulatory authority

of the Member State in which they

are active

The registration form has to be

submitted prior to entering into a

transaction which is required to be

reported

ldquoThe UK is putting in place

arrangements so that when trading

after exit businesses will have

certainty that they will not face

substantially different requirements

compared to their current

obligations under the Regulation on

Wholesale Energy Market Integrity

and Transparency (REMIT)rdquo

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 153

If the UK leaves the IEM what happens

Positive for existing interconnectors Increased price divergence between UK

and continental markets possible without market coupling

Negative for interconnectors in development Investor confidence weakens

Renewables in the UK ndash Historical development

Onshore wind and solar capacity grew

quickly under the Renewable Obligation

(RO) scheme but that is now closed

Since 2014 onshore wind and solar

have been excluded from the Contracts

for Difference (CfD) scheme

Therefore offshore wind looks set to

dominate capacity additions under

current policies

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

The UK wants to remain in the IEM while removing itself from climate

change targets and commitments

If this were to be agreed the UK would not have to commit to a share

of the EUrsquos recently agreed 2030 renewable target of 32

If there were to be no deal this would also lead to the government

dropping out of the EU renewable target

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 170

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

If this were to happen the impact on the UK would be minimal compared to current expectations

With no subsidies for onshore wind and solar future growth will come from subsidy-free projects

Funding of pound557m has already been agreed for additional CfD rounds which will lead to offshore wind growth

The impact on capture prices would prevent subsidy-free developments

A massive expansion of renewables would lead to price cannibalisation pushing capture prices lower

By 2030 offshore wind capture prices are forecast to be euro22MWh below the base case assumption

Such low capture prices would prevent subsidy-free development in the long-term and lock in huge subsidies for existing capacity

Coal and gas output in the UK - Historical

UK coal output has declined considerably since the CPS was introduced in

2013 (from 137TWh in 2012 to 21TWh in 2017)

Over the same period gas generation increased from 83TWh to 120TWh

Impact on power prices

Since fuel switch has already mostly taken place the impending carbon price rise

will have less impact on the UK than on other coal-dependent countries

As a result spreads to other EU markets will narrow

Conclusions

The biggest disrupter to the power market comes not from Brexit but from a

Labour government

This would likely lead to a rapid renewable expansion which would pressure prices lower

Under current policies renewable growth will be dominated by offshore wind in

the mid-term due to the absence of subsidies for onshore wind or solar

Despite an official coal phase-out date of October 2025 coal will be almost

completely pushed out of the mix from 2021

The UK looks set to increasingly rely on interconnectors as older thermal

capacity closes

Targets Unclear destiny of binding national targets

EU as a whole is at risk to miss the 2020 target as the worst performers also are largest consumers

Statistical transfers can help fill the gap but will likely not be used for entire delta

Uncertainty regarding implications of not meeting national targets

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Long term contract between a party generating and selling electricity and a

party purchasing electricity Have existed for decades

Corporate PPA

Renewable Corporate PPA

Electricity traded between the two parties comes from a Renewable Energy

power plant PPAs are necessary to be in place prior to a RE asset

developer securing financing from a bank for their project Purchasers

are attracted by lower prices and the lsquogreen credentialsrsquo in having their power

supply come from 100 renewable sources RE Corporate PPAs are often

fixed for long periods up to 15 years to ensure revenue security for the

developer

Corporate PPAs enable businesses to source electricity from generators at

an agreed price while giving producers a reliable guaranteed buyer at a

stable price

copy EEX AG 2018

RE Corporate PPAs are quickly gaining in popularity

in Europe

Around 6 of new installed wind

power capacity in Europe in the

last 5 years is under PPAs

In Europe over 1GW of power was contracted

under PPAs in 2017 with 95 of this volume

coming from the Netherlands Norway

Sweden and the UK due to favourable policy

conditions

expected once wind and solar assets start

coming off of subsidies in the next few

How do EEX Power Derivatives help to mitigate

PPA Price Risk

9

Since 29th May 2018 15 long-term hedges of calendar contracts up to 2024

have been registered OTC in Spanish Power with a total volume of 116 TWh

copy EEX AG 2018

Market participants who enter into long-term PPAs can register a strip of cash-

settled calendar futures out to Cal+6 for clearing with EEX

This means that sellers can lock in a secure cash flow for up to 6 years

for the sale of electricity in the respective market area

Buyers lock in a guaranteed price of purchase for up to 6 years providing

certainty on their future electricity price and protecting against upswings

Therefore the purchase or sale of derivatives provides long-term price risk hedging

together with counterparty risk mitigation through the ECC clearing house

In illiquid long-dated contracts where there have been no order book trades

EEX uses two methods to determine settlement prices

Fair Value Providers ask chief traders from select members what their fair

values are for settlement

Market Structure take the daily price dynamic of the last liquid expiry and

apply it to the illiquid expiries (ex Cal21 increases by 30 euroct then Cal22 ndash

Cal24 will increase by 30 euroct)

Legacy Trades are possible at EEX in order to ldquoroll overrdquo a long-term hedge

at the previously traded price once a new Cal is open

Prices which are out of range must be approved by the respective General

Clearing Member

Renewable Corporate PPAs are the dawn of a new

era in the Energy Transition

13

PPAs are an enabler of new Renewable Energy

developmentshellip

Major energy players are already starting to hedge their

long-term price risk with standard EEX products

hellipbut the market is in need of more standardisation and

better risk management products in order to grow and

meet the EUrsquos ambitious targets

EEX will ensure we remain part of our Membersrsquo long-term

hedging strategy and explore opportunities to build new

PPA-related products

Model methodology

Overall methodology

Dispatch model ndash we are modelling

the hourly dispatch mimicking how

the market clearing works

Global optimization model that

minimizes all system costs subject

to a number of constrains (or

maximization of social welfare)

Formulated as a linear programming

model

Features

Optimal dispatch of generation including trade

Incorporation of start-up costs

Full EU integration capacities of all major interconnectors

Detailed hydro modelling

Accurate cycling of thermal generation

Taking into account technical restrictions part-load efficiencies reservoir levels ramping restrictions

Trend 3 ndash we expect carbon prices to increase rapidly in the early years of the 2020s and relax in the later years

Political context post-2020 reform with the strengthened MSR is cutting supply short and is a game changer for the system

Participants in the last month the increased political stability incentivised financial players to participate in the system

Volume Due to the MSR abatement in the future will be necessary and will have to be delivered through fuel switch in the power sector and carbon efficiency measures in industry

Trend 4 Brexit

Power Markets

Link to internal energy markets at risk

As UK is highly dependent on electricity imports the continued functioning of the interconnectors are crucial

Long-term policies are defined independently of Brexit

Future of UK power market highly dependent on party manifestos

Carbon Markets

Creating sentiment effect in the last weeks

Short-term effects of hard Brexit selling by utilities and industrials

Long-term solution requires adjustment of the system

Both ambition levels for carbon reduction UK and EU should not be seriously affected

Mid-Term View

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 34

The fundamentalsThe MSR is increasing the pressure on compliance companies in the next years

Yearly supply is not enough

anymore to cover yearly demand

Compliance companies will be

forced to invest in reduction

measures or historic surplus needs

to come to market

First available are fuel switch from

coal to gas

Later on industrial abatement

The fundamentalsWhere would CO2 reductions come from

Biggest abatement pressure is on

power sector in the beginning

Fuel switch on short notice available

No additional investments necessary

Immediate economic impact

Once fuel switch capacity is utilized

industrial and power sector need to

invest to abate emissions

Especially in second half of phase 4

industrials will start abating emissions

Conclusions

Only as of 2019 MSR intake leads to a significant scarcity on the market

In 2018 the increases are based on speculative buying and compliance

preparation for the MSR

Mid-term risks and opportunities

Hard Brexit

Clean spread development brown dark and spark spreads

Anticipation buying of compliance companies

Sell off triggered by one or few long players

One key bit needs to be taken into account the TNAC is not the available surplus

Due to the exclusion of EUA compliance by the aviation sector the TNAC is higher than the available surplus

Leads to overestimation of market surplus

Higher MSR outtake

In case aviation shortfall gt400 Mt lower threshold obsolete

Higher threshold nearly impossible to undercut

But CORSIA effect

We expect this to be changed and incorporate a TNAC equal to the surplus in our analysis from 2022 onwards

This will trigger significant emission

reductions in power and industry

Decreasing base emissions reduce

hedge demand significantly

MSR goes back to 12 and demand

decreases (lower base emissions)

Triggered abatement increases TNAC

Consequences for the MSR parameter discussion (50 coal)

MSR parameters can be amended

with review

Two potential scenarios

Reduce thresholds (600 280 Mt)

Remain on 24 withdrawal rateMSR continues to trigger

allowances during all years

MSR withdraws 790m allowances

more compared to old thresholds

and 12 rate

TNAC remains on lower pathway

Conclusion

Changing power sector dynamics could lead to significantly lower emissions

If we factor in the current trend towards coal phase-outs all over EuropeThe surplus increases more

The hedge demand reduces more

With lower power sector demand TNAC increases with current MSR parameters

According to our analysis the MSR will not be strong enough to mitigate the surplus built-up due to lower emissions

Less demand results in laxer market balance lower prices

Adjustment of MSR parameters an option to keep market tightness

Upcoming auctions in Italy

Italy is planning to auction 79 GW of capacity between January 2019 and May 2021

Of the total 56GW will be for solar and wind competing against one another

Winning bidders will be offered a CfD contract (like the UK model for RES support)

The latest draft of the decree sets a 70 euroMWh for wind and solar

some protection against worst

Conclusions

Subsidy-free projects are beginning to emerge in a number of EU member

states

However Spain and Italy could be the first EU countries to attempt to roll out

subsidy-free capacity at scale driven by comparatively higher power prices

Investor appetite for risk given market price uncertainty will remain the greatest

challenge going forward How many projects can get off the ground

The PPA market can help de-risk projects but it remains in a nascent stage

Continued reductions in LCOE will help improve the prospects for projects

Our forecasts suggest that profit margins will be best for early movers

Carbon price floor plan

In addition to the coal phase-out the government plans to introduce a carbon price floor for the

power sector

The floor would start at euro18tonne in 2020 increasing to euro43tonne in 2030

We anticipate the floor to be below EUA prices until 2026

Carbon price floor ndash coal amp gas output

We anticipate that the carbon price floor would have no impact for the first five years after

implementation

From 2026-2030 the price floor would lead to a reduction in both coal and gas output

compared to the base case

Carbon price floor ndash net imports

Under the base case assumptions the Netherlands becomes a net exporter in 2023 and

maintains this position through to 2030

If the carbon price floor is introduced the Netherlands will revert back to a net importer status as

imports replace domestic coal amp gas generation

Carbon price floor ndash Emissions

Under the base case assumptions power sector emissions would decline only

marginally through to 2029 before a big drop associated with coal phase-out in 2030

The carbon price floor would lead to a much more significant drop 2026-2030

However the emissions decline would be cancelled out by an increase elsewhere

Hambacher Forest ndash RWE impact

Muumlnster Higher Administrative Court ruled to halt forest clearance 5 Oct

Final decision to be reached in main proceedings likely end of 2020

Lignite mining possible until approx end 2019

But annual reduction expected from 40 Mt tobetween 25 and 30 Mt (2019-21)

RWE expects substantial short-term operational effects as of 2019

Power generation to decrease by between 9 and13 TWh

Affected plants are Neurath and Niederauszligem

This would translate to a reduction

of 138 Mt emissions in 2023

Conclusions

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 138

Coal phase-out across the EU

Coal and lignite have the second largest installed capacity in the EU

10 EU countries decided to phase out coal several more in

discussion

Phase-out will come in waves 2021-2022 2025 and 2030

Regardless of coal phase-out plans BREF will affect one third of

Europersquos coal-fired capacity

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 139

Capacity implications

Three very different policy approaches to coal

Netherlands Complete phase out by 2030 and (potentially) a carbon price floor

Germany Gradual reduction over the next ten years driven by government intervention

Poland Attempting to keep capacity online using the capacity mechanism to provide support

None of the three countries will phase out coal rapidly

In absence of policy decision Industrial Emissions DirectiveBREF will define the pathway

Will the interconnectors stop flowing power

UK currently has three underwater cables connected to the EU ndash 2GW IFA with

France 1GW BritNed with Netherlands and 500MW East-West Interconnector

with Ireland

UK and EU papers make no mention of flows between the UK and EU halting

on 29 March 2019

National Grid 28 June 2018 ndash ldquoOur internal analysis backed up by two

separate external legal views has stated that there is no legal right for the

interconnectors to be simply ldquoswitched offrdquo post Brexitrdquo

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 151

What will the commercial arrangements be

UK will lose access to the single allocation platform for forward interconnection capacity European balancing platforms and the single day-ahead and intraday coupling

UKrsquos NEMOs ndash ie EPEX Spot and Nord Pool ndash will become third country operators and will no longer be able to carry out market coupling services between UK and EU

Option 1 - open to remaining in the EUrsquos internal energy market (IEM) This includes remaining part of the EUrsquos Emissions Trading System One caveat ldquoThe UK does not believe that participation in the IEM should require a common rulebook on wider environmental and climate change rulesrdquo

Option 2 ndash Leave the IEM and explore how interconnector trade continues without automatic capacity allocation National Grid has contingencies in place

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 152

Regulations and REMIT

UK market participants will have to

register with the regulatory authority

of the Member State in which they

are active

The registration form has to be

submitted prior to entering into a

transaction which is required to be

reported

ldquoThe UK is putting in place

arrangements so that when trading

after exit businesses will have

certainty that they will not face

substantially different requirements

compared to their current

obligations under the Regulation on

Wholesale Energy Market Integrity

and Transparency (REMIT)rdquo

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 153

If the UK leaves the IEM what happens

Positive for existing interconnectors Increased price divergence between UK

and continental markets possible without market coupling

Negative for interconnectors in development Investor confidence weakens

New projects already delayed

Will liquidity in wholesale market be affected

Short-term considerations

UK installations will exit the EU ETS on 29 March 2019

UK brought forward its compliance deadline to 15 March 2019

UK compliance is guaranteed for emissions year 2018

Depending on broad negotiations transition period could lead to Brexit

adjustments only for phase 4

Likely no auctioning as of 1 January 2019 in case of bdquono-dealldquo scenario or

remaining uncertainty

Conclusion

A no-deal scenario would have a moderate short-term bearish effect on EUA

prices

Fundamentally we talk about extra supply of between 100 to 130m allowances until29 March

Sentiment might weigh heavier

Long-term Brexit will in principle support carbon prices

Renewables in the UK ndash Historical development

Onshore wind and solar capacity grew

quickly under the Renewable Obligation

(RO) scheme but that is now closed

Since 2014 onshore wind and solar

have been excluded from the Contracts

for Difference (CfD) scheme

Therefore offshore wind looks set to

dominate capacity additions under

current policies

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

The UK wants to remain in the IEM while removing itself from climate

change targets and commitments

If this were to be agreed the UK would not have to commit to a share

of the EUrsquos recently agreed 2030 renewable target of 32

If there were to be no deal this would also lead to the government

dropping out of the EU renewable target

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 170

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

If this were to happen the impact on the UK would be minimal compared to current expectations

With no subsidies for onshore wind and solar future growth will come from subsidy-free projects

Funding of pound557m has already been agreed for additional CfD rounds which will lead to offshore wind growth

How would a Labour government impact renewables

While Brexit will not have a major impact on renewable development a Labour government certainly would

In October the Labour Party released plans to massively increase RES capacity by 2030

Offshore wind ndash 52GW (from 8GW currently

Onshore wind ndash 30GW (from 13GW currently)

Solar ndash 35GW (from 13GW currently)

The impact on capture prices would prevent subsidy-free developments

A massive expansion of renewables would lead to price cannibalisation pushing capture prices lower

By 2030 offshore wind capture prices are forecast to be euro22MWh below the base case assumption

Such low capture prices would prevent subsidy-free development in the long-term and lock in huge subsidies for existing capacity

Coal and gas output in the UK - Historical

UK coal output has declined considerably since the CPS was introduced in

2013 (from 137TWh in 2012 to 21TWh in 2017)

Over the same period gas generation increased from 83TWh to 120TWh

Conclusions

The biggest disrupter to the power market comes not from Brexit but from a

Labour government

This would likely lead to a rapid renewable expansion which would pressure prices lower

Under current policies renewable growth will be dominated by offshore wind in

the mid-term due to the absence of subsidies for onshore wind or solar

Despite an official coal phase-out date of October 2025 coal will be almost

completely pushed out of the mix from 2021

The UK looks set to increasingly rely on interconnectors as older thermal

capacity closes

Conclusions

Targets Unclear destiny of binding national targets

EU as a whole is at risk to miss the 2020 target as the worst performers also are largest consumers

One PPA is not like the other

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Long term contract between a party generating and selling electricity and a

party purchasing electricity Have existed for decades

Corporate PPA

Renewable Corporate PPA

Electricity traded between the two parties comes from a Renewable Energy

power plant PPAs are necessary to be in place prior to a RE asset

developer securing financing from a bank for their project Purchasers

are attracted by lower prices and the lsquogreen credentialsrsquo in having their power

supply come from 100 renewable sources RE Corporate PPAs are often

fixed for long periods up to 15 years to ensure revenue security for the

developer

Corporate PPAs enable businesses to source electricity from generators at

an agreed price while giving producers a reliable guaranteed buyer at a

stable price

copy EEX AG 2018

RE Corporate PPAs are quickly gaining in popularity

in Europe

4

Around 6 of new installed wind

power capacity in Europe in the

last 5 years is under PPAs

In Europe over 1GW of power was contracted

under PPAs in 2017 with 95 of this volume

coming from the Netherlands Norway

Sweden and the UK due to favourable policy

conditions

More PPAs in Germany and Europe are

expected once wind and solar assets start

coming off of subsidies in the next few

years

Old hedging horizon to Cal+3

EEX members have been using Power Futures to hedge merchant risk from

conventional power plants for years

EEX is investigating listing further calendar expiries to support long-term

How do EEX Power Derivatives help to mitigate

PPA Price Risk

9

Since 29th May 2018 15 long-term hedges of calendar contracts up to 2024

have been registered OTC in Spanish Power with a total volume of 116 TWh

copy EEX AG 2018

Market participants who enter into long-term PPAs can register a strip of cash-

settled calendar futures out to Cal+6 for clearing with EEX

This means that sellers can lock in a secure cash flow for up to 6 years

for the sale of electricity in the respective market area

Buyers lock in a guaranteed price of purchase for up to 6 years providing

certainty on their future electricity price and protecting against upswings

Therefore the purchase or sale of derivatives provides long-term price risk hedging

together with counterparty risk mitigation through the ECC clearing house

Example Long-Term Hedge cleared on 12 July on

Spanish Power

10

A 50 MW strip from July 18 to Cal+6 was cleared in Spanish Power on 12 July

2018 with an initial margin requirement of 6543286 EUR

The Initial Margin percentage of the notional value of the trade was 466

The execution price of each trade was 4985 EUR

Long-term hedges cause volume spikes and contribute to Open Interest

Spanish Power now has the highest Open Interest in long-dated contracts

Daily Settlement in Illiquid Contracts and Legacy

Trades

12

In illiquid long-dated contracts where there have been no order book trades

EEX uses two methods to determine settlement prices

Fair Value Providers ask chief traders from select members what their fair

values are for settlement

Market Structure take the daily price dynamic of the last liquid expiry and

apply it to the illiquid expiries (ex Cal21 increases by 30 euroct then Cal22 ndash

Cal24 will increase by 30 euroct)

Legacy Trades are possible at EEX in order to ldquoroll overrdquo a long-term hedge

at the previously traded price once a new Cal is open

Prices which are out of range must be approved by the respective General

Clearing Member

Renewable Corporate PPAs are the dawn of a new

era in the Energy Transition

13

PPAs are an enabler of new Renewable Energy

developmentshellip

Major energy players are already starting to hedge their

long-term price risk with standard EEX products

hellipbut the market is in need of more standardisation and

better risk management products in order to grow and

meet the EUrsquos ambitious targets

EEX will ensure we remain part of our Membersrsquo long-term

hedging strategy and explore opportunities to build new

Trend 3 ndash we expect carbon prices to increase rapidly in the early years of the 2020s and relax in the later years

Political context post-2020 reform with the strengthened MSR is cutting supply short and is a game changer for the system

Participants in the last month the increased political stability incentivised financial players to participate in the system

Volume Due to the MSR abatement in the future will be necessary and will have to be delivered through fuel switch in the power sector and carbon efficiency measures in industry

Trend 4 Brexit

Power Markets

Link to internal energy markets at risk

As UK is highly dependent on electricity imports the continued functioning of the interconnectors are crucial

Long-term policies are defined independently of Brexit

Future of UK power market highly dependent on party manifestos

Carbon Markets

Creating sentiment effect in the last weeks

Short-term effects of hard Brexit selling by utilities and industrials

Long-term solution requires adjustment of the system

Both ambition levels for carbon reduction UK and EU should not be seriously affected

Mid-Term View

The fundamentalsThe MSR is increasing the pressure on compliance companies in the next years

Yearly supply is not enough

anymore to cover yearly demand

Compliance companies will be

forced to invest in reduction

measures or historic surplus needs

to come to market

First available are fuel switch from

coal to gas

Later on industrial abatement

The fundamentalsWhere would CO2 reductions come from

Biggest abatement pressure is on

power sector in the beginning

Fuel switch on short notice available

No additional investments necessary

Immediate economic impact

Once fuel switch capacity is utilized

industrial and power sector need to

invest to abate emissions

Especially in second half of phase 4

industrials will start abating emissions

Conclusions

Only as of 2019 MSR intake leads to a significant scarcity on the market

In 2018 the increases are based on speculative buying and compliance

preparation for the MSR

Mid-term risks and opportunities

Hard Brexit

Clean spread development brown dark and spark spreads

Anticipation buying of compliance companies

Sell off triggered by one or few long players

Further behaviour of speculators

One key bit needs to be taken into account the TNAC is not the available surplus

Due to the exclusion of EUA compliance by the aviation sector the TNAC is higher than the available surplus

Leads to overestimation of market surplus

Higher MSR outtake

In case aviation shortfall gt400 Mt lower threshold obsolete

Higher threshold nearly impossible to undercut

But CORSIA effect

We expect this to be changed and incorporate a TNAC equal to the surplus in our analysis from 2022 onwards

decreases (lower base emissions)

Conclusion

Changing power sector dynamics could lead to significantly lower emissions

If we factor in the current trend towards coal phase-outs all over EuropeThe surplus increases more

The hedge demand reduces more

With lower power sector demand TNAC increases with current MSR parameters

According to our analysis the MSR will not be strong enough to mitigate the surplus built-up due to lower emissions

Less demand results in laxer market balance lower prices

Adjustment of MSR parameters an option to keep market tightness

Conclusions

Subsidy-free projects are beginning to emerge in a number of EU member

states

However Spain and Italy could be the first EU countries to attempt to roll out

subsidy-free capacity at scale driven by comparatively higher power prices

Investor appetite for risk given market price uncertainty will remain the greatest

challenge going forward How many projects can get off the ground

The PPA market can help de-risk projects but it remains in a nascent stage

Continued reductions in LCOE will help improve the prospects for projects

Our forecasts suggest that profit margins will be best for early movers

European electricity mix at present

Coal and lignite have the second

largest installed capacity in the EU

(139GW) behind gas and ahead of

nuclear

Germany is the dominant country for

coal and lignite accounting for 31 of

Coal amp gas in the Dutch power mix

Several older coal-fired plants have closed over the past three years which has

led to lower coal-fired generation output

Gas output has begun to exceed coal output and the trend will continue due to

carbon prices and coal closures

Carbon price floor plan

In addition to the coal phase-out the government plans to introduce a carbon price floor for the

power sector

The floor would start at euro18tonne in 2020 increasing to euro43tonne in 2030

We anticipate the floor to be below EUA prices until 2026

Carbon price floor ndash Emissions

Under the base case assumptions power sector emissions would decline only

marginally through to 2029 before a big drop associated with coal phase-out in 2030

The carbon price floor would lead to a much more significant drop 2026-2030

However the emissions decline would be cancelled out by an increase elsewhere

Final decision to be reached in main proceedings likely end of 2020

Lignite mining possible until approx end 2019

But annual reduction expected from 40 Mt tobetween 25 and 30 Mt (2019-21)

RWE expects substantial short-term operational effects as of 2019

Power generation to decrease by between 9 and13 TWh

Conclusions

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 138

Coal phase-out across the EU

Coal and lignite have the second largest installed capacity in the EU

10 EU countries decided to phase out coal several more in

discussion

Phase-out will come in waves 2021-2022 2025 and 2030

Regardless of coal phase-out plans BREF will affect one third of

Europersquos coal-fired capacity

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 139

Capacity implications

Three very different policy approaches to coal

Netherlands Complete phase out by 2030 and (potentially) a carbon price floor

Germany Gradual reduction over the next ten years driven by government intervention

Poland Attempting to keep capacity online using the capacity mechanism to provide support

None of the three countries will phase out coal rapidly

In absence of policy decision Industrial Emissions DirectiveBREF will define the pathway

Generation implications ndash carbon price importance

Coal generation will fall in all three

countries regardless of the coal

capacity developments because of

the bullish EUA prices

As EUA prices soften from 2024

coal-fired output will rebound

The most significant increase will be

seen in Poland as the majority of

capacity remains online 0

Power prices in all three markets will follow a similar pattern

2019-2023 EUA increase pushes prices higher

2024-2030 Softening of EUA prices and increased RES output leads to lower prices

Dutch carbon price floor and complete phase-out to boost prices comparatively 2026-2030

Will the interconnectors stop flowing power

UK currently has three underwater cables connected to the EU ndash 2GW IFA with

France 1GW BritNed with Netherlands and 500MW East-West Interconnector

separate external legal views has stated that there is no legal right for the

interconnectors to be simply ldquoswitched offrdquo post Brexitrdquo

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 151

What will the commercial arrangements be

UK will lose access to the single allocation platform for forward interconnection capacity European balancing platforms and the single day-ahead and intraday coupling

UKrsquos NEMOs ndash ie EPEX Spot and Nord Pool ndash will become third country operators and will no longer be able to carry out market coupling services between UK and EU

Option 1 - open to remaining in the EUrsquos internal energy market (IEM) This includes remaining part of the EUrsquos Emissions Trading System One caveat ldquoThe UK does not believe that participation in the IEM should require a common rulebook on wider environmental and climate change rulesrdquo

Option 2 ndash Leave the IEM and explore how interconnector trade continues without automatic capacity allocation National Grid has contingencies in place

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 152

Regulations and REMIT

UK market participants will have to

register with the regulatory authority

of the Member State in which they

are active

The registration form has to be

submitted prior to entering into a

transaction which is required to be

reported

ldquoThe UK is putting in place

arrangements so that when trading

after exit businesses will have

certainty that they will not face

substantially different requirements

compared to their current

obligations under the Regulation on

Wholesale Energy Market Integrity

and Transparency (REMIT)rdquo

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 153

If the UK leaves the IEM what happens

Positive for existing interconnectors Increased price divergence between UK

and continental markets possible without market coupling

Negative for interconnectors in development Investor confidence weakens

Renewables in the UK ndash Historical development

Onshore wind and solar capacity grew

quickly under the Renewable Obligation

(RO) scheme but that is now closed

Since 2014 onshore wind and solar

have been excluded from the Contracts

for Difference (CfD) scheme

Therefore offshore wind looks set to

dominate capacity additions under

current policies

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

The UK wants to remain in the IEM while removing itself from climate

change targets and commitments

If this were to be agreed the UK would not have to commit to a share

of the EUrsquos recently agreed 2030 renewable target of 32

If there were to be no deal this would also lead to the government

dropping out of the EU renewable target

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 170

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

If this were to happen the impact on the UK would be minimal compared to current expectations

With no subsidies for onshore wind and solar future growth will come from subsidy-free projects

Funding of pound557m has already been agreed for additional CfD rounds which will lead to offshore wind growth

The impact on capture prices would prevent subsidy-free developments

A massive expansion of renewables would lead to price cannibalisation pushing capture prices lower

By 2030 offshore wind capture prices are forecast to be euro22MWh below the base case assumption

Such low capture prices would prevent subsidy-free development in the long-term and lock in huge subsidies for existing capacity

UK coal output has declined considerably since the CPS was introduced in

2013 (from 137TWh in 2012 to 21TWh in 2017)

Over the same period gas generation increased from 83TWh to 120TWh

Conclusions

The biggest disrupter to the power market comes not from Brexit but from a

Labour government

This would likely lead to a rapid renewable expansion which would pressure prices lower

Under current policies renewable growth will be dominated by offshore wind in

the mid-term due to the absence of subsidies for onshore wind or solar

Despite an official coal phase-out date of October 2025 coal will be almost

completely pushed out of the mix from 2021

The UK looks set to increasingly rely on interconnectors as older thermal

capacity closes

Electricity storage will play a crucial role in enabling the next phase of the energy transition

Prices are falling and based on the difference services that could be provided storage may become attractive quite soon

Conclusions

Targets Unclear destiny of binding national targets

EU as a whole is at risk to miss the 2020 target as the worst performers also are largest consumers

Statistical transfers can help fill the gap but will likely not be used for entire delta

Uncertainty regarding implications of not meeting national targets

PolicyRamp up of support and statistical transfers in early 2020s

Technology neutral auctions is the new black in mid-term

PPAs will play an important role

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Long term contract between a party generating and selling electricity and a

party purchasing electricity Have existed for decades

Corporate PPA

Renewable Corporate PPA

Electricity traded between the two parties comes from a Renewable Energy

power plant PPAs are necessary to be in place prior to a RE asset

developer securing financing from a bank for their project Purchasers

are attracted by lower prices and the lsquogreen credentialsrsquo in having their power

supply come from 100 renewable sources RE Corporate PPAs are often

fixed for long periods up to 15 years to ensure revenue security for the

developer

Corporate PPAs enable businesses to source electricity from generators at

an agreed price while giving producers a reliable guaranteed buyer at a

stable price

copy EEX AG 2018

RE Corporate PPAs are quickly gaining in popularity

in Europe

4

Around 6 of new installed wind

power capacity in Europe in the

last 5 years is under PPAs

In Europe over 1GW of power was contracted

under PPAs in 2017 with 95 of this volume

coming from the Netherlands Norway

Sweden and the UK due to favourable policy

conditions

More PPAs in Germany and Europe are

expected once wind and solar assets start

coming off of subsidies in the next few

years

How do EEX Power Derivatives help to mitigate

PPA Price Risk

9

Since 29th May 2018 15 long-term hedges of calendar contracts up to 2024

have been registered OTC in Spanish Power with a total volume of 116 TWh

copy EEX AG 2018

Market participants who enter into long-term PPAs can register a strip of cash-

settled calendar futures out to Cal+6 for clearing with EEX

This means that sellers can lock in a secure cash flow for up to 6 years

for the sale of electricity in the respective market area

Buyers lock in a guaranteed price of purchase for up to 6 years providing

certainty on their future electricity price and protecting against upswings

Therefore the purchase or sale of derivatives provides long-term price risk hedging

together with counterparty risk mitigation through the ECC clearing house

Example Long-Term Hedge cleared on 12 July on

Spanish Power

10

A 50 MW strip from July 18 to Cal+6 was cleared in Spanish Power on 12 July

2018 with an initial margin requirement of 6543286 EUR

The Initial Margin percentage of the notional value of the trade was 466

Long-term hedges cause volume spikes and contribute to Open Interest

Spanish Power now has the highest Open Interest in long-dated contracts

Daily Settlement in Illiquid Contracts and Legacy

Trades

12

In illiquid long-dated contracts where there have been no order book trades

EEX uses two methods to determine settlement prices

Fair Value Providers ask chief traders from select members what their fair

values are for settlement

Market Structure take the daily price dynamic of the last liquid expiry and

apply it to the illiquid expiries (ex Cal21 increases by 30 euroct then Cal22 ndash

Cal24 will increase by 30 euroct)

Legacy Trades are possible at EEX in order to ldquoroll overrdquo a long-term hedge

at the previously traded price once a new Cal is open

Prices which are out of range must be approved by the respective General

Clearing Member

Trend 3 ndash we expect carbon prices to increase rapidly in the early years of the 2020s and relax in the later years

Political context post-2020 reform with the strengthened MSR is cutting supply short and is a game changer for the system

Participants in the last month the increased political stability incentivised financial players to participate in the system

Volume Due to the MSR abatement in the future will be necessary and will have to be delivered through fuel switch in the power sector and carbon efficiency measures in industry

Trend 4 Brexit

Power Markets

Link to internal energy markets at risk

As UK is highly dependent on electricity imports the continued functioning of the interconnectors are crucial

Long-term policies are defined independently of Brexit

Future of UK power market highly dependent on party manifestos

Carbon Markets

Creating sentiment effect in the last weeks

Short-term effects of hard Brexit selling by utilities and industrials

Long-term solution requires adjustment of the system

Both ambition levels for carbon reduction UK and EU should not be seriously affected

Mid-Term View

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 34

The fundamentalsThe MSR is increasing the pressure on compliance companies in the next years

Yearly supply is not enough

anymore to cover yearly demand

Compliance companies will be

forced to invest in reduction

measures or historic surplus needs

to come to market

First available are fuel switch from

coal to gas

Later on industrial abatement

The fundamentalsWhere would CO2 reductions come from

Biggest abatement pressure is on

power sector in the beginning

Fuel switch on short notice available

No additional investments necessary

Immediate economic impact

Once fuel switch capacity is utilized

industrial and power sector need to

invest to abate emissions

Especially in second half of phase 4

industrials will start abating emissions

One key bit needs to be taken into account the TNAC is not the available surplus

Due to the exclusion of EUA compliance by the aviation sector the TNAC is higher than the available surplus

Leads to overestimation of market surplus

Higher MSR outtake

In case aviation shortfall gt400 Mt lower threshold obsolete

Higher threshold nearly impossible to undercut

But CORSIA effect

We expect this to be changed and incorporate a TNAC equal to the surplus in our analysis from 2022 onwards

Conclusion

Changing power sector dynamics could lead to significantly lower emissions

If we factor in the current trend towards coal phase-outs all over EuropeThe surplus increases more

The hedge demand reduces more

With lower power sector demand TNAC increases with current MSR parameters

According to our analysis the MSR will not be strong enough to mitigate the surplus built-up due to lower emissions

Less demand results in laxer market balance lower prices

Adjustment of MSR parameters an option to keep market tightness

Italy is planning to auction 79 GW of capacity between January 2019 and May 2021

Of the total 56GW will be for solar and wind competing against one another

Winning bidders will be offered a CfD contract (like the UK model for RES support)

The latest draft of the decree sets a 70 euroMWh for wind and solar

We expect power prices to be driven significantly by carbon prices through to 2030

As a result wholesale power prices will be at their highest in 202324 before declining

as EUA prices fall and as more RES capacity is added

Government support Minimum price floors

Minimum price floors provide

some protection against worst

case scenario prices

However the price floor needs to

be high enough to improve

bankability but low enough to

protect the government from

paying large subsidies

Spain were set at very low levels

Conclusions

Subsidy-free projects are beginning to emerge in a number of EU member

states

However Spain and Italy could be the first EU countries to attempt to roll out

subsidy-free capacity at scale driven by comparatively higher power prices

Investor appetite for risk given market price uncertainty will remain the greatest

challenge going forward How many projects can get off the ground

The PPA market can help de-risk projects but it remains in a nascent stage

Continued reductions in LCOE will help improve the prospects for projects

Our forecasts suggest that profit margins will be best for early movers

Under the base case assumptions power sector emissions would decline only

marginally through to 2029 before a big drop associated with coal phase-out in 2030

The carbon price floor would lead to a much more significant drop 2026-2030

However the emissions decline would be cancelled out by an increase elsewhere

Impact on Hambach generation

With potential closures we see a

reduction of 182 TWh in 2023

This would translate to a reduction

of 138 Mt emissions in 2023

Below our assumptions for the

bdquomoderate scenarioldquo which assumes

68 GW lignite and 36 GW hard

coal to drop-out

Hambach can be seen as preview

towards coal commission result

Conclusions

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 138

Coal phase-out across the EU

Coal and lignite have the second largest installed capacity in the EU

10 EU countries decided to phase out coal several more in

discussion

Phase-out will come in waves 2021-2022 2025 and 2030

Regardless of coal phase-out plans BREF will affect one third of

Europersquos coal-fired capacity

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 139

Capacity implications

Three very different policy approaches to coal

Netherlands Complete phase out by 2030 and (potentially) a carbon price floor

Germany Gradual reduction over the next ten years driven by government intervention

Poland Attempting to keep capacity online using the capacity mechanism to provide support

None of the three countries will phase out coal rapidly

In absence of policy decision Industrial Emissions DirectiveBREF will define the pathway

countries regardless of the coal

capacity developments because of

the bullish EUA prices

As EUA prices soften from 2024

coal-fired output will rebound

The most significant increase will be

Option 2 ndash Leave the IEM and explore how interconnector trade continues without automatic capacity allocation National Grid has contingencies in place

What has the EU said What has the UK said

Regulations and REMIT

UK market participants will have to

register with the regulatory authority

of the Member State in which they

Renewables in the UK ndash Historical development

Onshore wind and solar capacity grew

quickly under the Renewable Obligation

(RO) scheme but that is now closed

Since 2014 onshore wind and solar

have been excluded from the Contracts

for Difference (CfD) scheme

Therefore offshore wind looks set to

dominate capacity additions under

current policies

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

The UK wants to remain in the IEM while removing itself from climate

change targets and commitments

If this were to be agreed the UK would not have to commit to a share

of the EUrsquos recently agreed 2030 renewable target of 32

If there were to be no deal this would also lead to the government

dropping out of the EU renewable target

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 170

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

If this were to happen the impact on the UK would be minimal compared to current expectations

With no subsidies for onshore wind and solar future growth will come from subsidy-free projects

Funding of pound557m has already been agreed for additional CfD rounds which will lead to offshore wind growth

The impact on capture prices would prevent subsidy-free developments

A massive expansion of renewables would lead to price cannibalisation pushing capture prices lower

By 2030 offshore wind capture prices are forecast to be euro22MWh below the base case assumption

Such low capture prices would prevent subsidy-free development in the long-term and lock in huge subsidies for existing capacity

Conclusions

The biggest disrupter to the power market comes not from Brexit but from a

Labour government

This would likely lead to a rapid renewable expansion which would pressure prices lower

Under current policies renewable growth will be dominated by offshore wind in

the mid-term due to the absence of subsidies for onshore wind or solar

Despite an official coal phase-out date of October 2025 coal will be almost

completely pushed out of the mix from 2021

The UK looks set to increasingly rely on interconnectors as older thermal

capacity closes

(RES-E) Heating amp Cooling and Transport

No binding target for RES-E

It reached 17 in 2016 and is on course for

2020

Conclusions

Targets Unclear destiny of binding national targets

EU as a whole is at risk to miss the 2020 target as the worst performers also are largest consumers

Statistical transfers can help fill the gap but will likely not be used for entire delta

Uncertainty regarding implications of not meeting national targets

PolicyRamp up of support and statistical transfers in early 2020s

Technology neutral auctions is the new black in mid-term

PPAs will play an important role

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Long term contract between a party generating and selling electricity and a

party purchasing electricity Have existed for decades

Corporate PPA

Renewable Corporate PPA

Electricity traded between the two parties comes from a Renewable Energy

power plant PPAs are necessary to be in place prior to a RE asset

developer securing financing from a bank for their project Purchasers

are attracted by lower prices and the lsquogreen credentialsrsquo in having their power

supply come from 100 renewable sources RE Corporate PPAs are often

fixed for long periods up to 15 years to ensure revenue security for the

developer

Corporate PPAs enable businesses to source electricity from generators at

an agreed price while giving producers a reliable guaranteed buyer at a

stable price

copy EEX AG 2018

RE Corporate PPAs are quickly gaining in popularity

in Europe

4

Around 6 of new installed wind

power capacity in Europe in the

last 5 years is under PPAs

In Europe over 1GW of power was contracted

under PPAs in 2017 with 95 of this volume

coming from the Netherlands Norway

Sweden and the UK due to favourable policy

conditions

More PPAs in Germany and Europe are

expected once wind and solar assets start

coming off of subsidies in the next few

years

How do EEX Power Derivatives help to mitigate

PPA Price Risk

9

Since 29th May 2018 15 long-term hedges of calendar contracts up to 2024

have been registered OTC in Spanish Power with a total volume of 116 TWh

copy EEX AG 2018

Market participants who enter into long-term PPAs can register a strip of cash-

settled calendar futures out to Cal+6 for clearing with EEX

This means that sellers can lock in a secure cash flow for up to 6 years

for the sale of electricity in the respective market area

Buyers lock in a guaranteed price of purchase for up to 6 years providing

certainty on their future electricity price and protecting against upswings

Therefore the purchase or sale of derivatives provides long-term price risk hedging

together with counterparty risk mitigation through the ECC clearing house

Example Long-Term Hedge cleared on 12 July on

Spanish Power

A 50 MW strip from July 18 to Cal+6 was cleared in Spanish Power on 12 July

2018 with an initial margin requirement of 6543286 EUR

Spanish Power now has the highest Open Interest in long-dated contracts

Daily Settlement in Illiquid Contracts and Legacy

Trades

12

In illiquid long-dated contracts where there have been no order book trades

EEX uses two methods to determine settlement prices

Fair Value Providers ask chief traders from select members what their fair

values are for settlement

Market Structure take the daily price dynamic of the last liquid expiry and

apply it to the illiquid expiries (ex Cal21 increases by 30 euroct then Cal22 ndash

Cal24 will increase by 30 euroct)

Legacy Trades are possible at EEX in order to ldquoroll overrdquo a long-term hedge

at the previously traded price once a new Cal is open

Prices which are out of range must be approved by the respective General

Clearing Member

Trend 3 ndash we expect carbon prices to increase rapidly in the early years of the 2020s and relax in the later years

Political context post-2020 reform with the strengthened MSR is cutting supply short and is a game changer for the system

Participants in the last month the increased political stability incentivised financial players to participate in the system

Volume Due to the MSR abatement in the future will be necessary and will have to be delivered through fuel switch in the power sector and carbon efficiency measures in industry

Trend 4 Brexit

Power Markets

Link to internal energy markets at risk

As UK is highly dependent on electricity imports the continued functioning of the interconnectors are crucial

Long-term policies are defined independently of Brexit

Future of UK power market highly dependent on party manifestos

Carbon Markets

Creating sentiment effect in the last weeks

Short-term effects of hard Brexit selling by utilities and industrials

Long-term solution requires adjustment of the system

Both ambition levels for carbon reduction UK and EU should not be seriously affected

Mid-Term View

The fundamentalsThe MSR is increasing the pressure on compliance companies in the next years

Yearly supply is not enough

anymore to cover yearly demand

Compliance companies will be

forced to invest in reduction

measures or historic surplus needs

to come to market

First available are fuel switch from

coal to gas

Later on industrial abatement

The fundamentalsWhere would CO2 reductions come from

Biggest abatement pressure is on

power sector in the beginning

Fuel switch on short notice available

No additional investments necessary

Immediate economic impact

Once fuel switch capacity is utilized

industrial and power sector need to

invest to abate emissions

Especially in second half of phase 4

industrials will start abating emissions

One key bit needs to be taken into account the TNAC is not the available surplus

Due to the exclusion of EUA compliance by the aviation sector the TNAC is higher than the available surplus

Leads to overestimation of market surplus

Higher MSR outtake

In case aviation shortfall gt400 Mt lower threshold obsolete

Higher threshold nearly impossible to undercut

But CORSIA effect

We expect this to be changed and incorporate a TNAC equal to the surplus in our analysis from 2022 onwards

Conclusion

Changing power sector dynamics could lead to significantly lower emissions

If we factor in the current trend towards coal phase-outs all over EuropeThe surplus increases more

The hedge demand reduces more

With lower power sector demand TNAC increases with current MSR parameters

According to our analysis the MSR will not be strong enough to mitigate the surplus built-up due to lower emissions

Less demand results in laxer market balance lower prices

Adjustment of MSR parameters an option to keep market tightness

Upcoming auctions in Italy

Italy is planning to auction 79 GW of capacity between January 2019 and May 2021

Of the total 56GW will be for solar and wind competing against one another

Winning bidders will be offered a CfD contract (like the UK model for RES support)

The latest draft of the decree sets a 70 euroMWh for wind and solar

Government support Minimum price floors

Minimum price floors provide

some protection against worst

case scenario prices

However the price floor needs to

be high enough to improve

bankability but low enough to

protect the government from

paying large subsidies

Conclusions

Subsidy-free projects are beginning to emerge in a number of EU member

states

However Spain and Italy could be the first EU countries to attempt to roll out

subsidy-free capacity at scale driven by comparatively higher power prices

Investor appetite for risk given market price uncertainty will remain the greatest

challenge going forward How many projects can get off the ground

The PPA market can help de-risk projects but it remains in a nascent stage

Continued reductions in LCOE will help improve the prospects for projects

Our forecasts suggest that profit margins will be best for early movers

Carbon price floor ndash Emissions

Under the base case assumptions power sector emissions would decline only

marginally through to 2029 before a big drop associated with coal phase-out in 2030

The carbon price floor would lead to a much more significant drop 2026-2030

However the emissions decline would be cancelled out by an increase elsewhere

Hambacher Forest ndash RWE impact

Muumlnster Higher Administrative Court ruled to halt forest clearance 5 Oct

Final decision to be reached in main proceedings likely end of 2020

Lignite mining possible until approx end 2019

But annual reduction expected from 40 Mt tobetween 25 and 30 Mt (2019-21)

RWE expects substantial short-term operational effects as of 2019

Power generation to decrease by between 9 and13 TWh

Affected plants are Neurath and Niederauszligem

reduction of 182 TWh in 2023

This would translate to a reduction

of 138 Mt emissions in 2023

Below our assumptions for the

68 GW lignite and 36 GW hard

Conclusions

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 138

Coal phase-out across the EU

Coal and lignite have the second largest installed capacity in the EU

10 EU countries decided to phase out coal several more in

discussion

Phase-out will come in waves 2021-2022 2025 and 2030

Regardless of coal phase-out plans BREF will affect one third of

Europersquos coal-fired capacity

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 139

Capacity implications

Three very different policy approaches to coal

Netherlands Complete phase out by 2030 and (potentially) a carbon price floor

Germany Gradual reduction over the next ten years driven by government intervention

Poland Attempting to keep capacity online using the capacity mechanism to provide support

None of the three countries will phase out coal rapidly

In absence of policy decision Industrial Emissions DirectiveBREF will define the pathway

Generation implications ndash carbon price importance

Coal generation will fall in all three

countries regardless of the coal

capacity developments because of

the bullish EUA prices

As EUA prices soften from 2024

coal-fired output will rebound

The most significant increase will be

seen in Poland as the majority of

Will the interconnectors stop flowing power

UK currently has three underwater cables connected to the EU ndash 2GW IFA with

France 1GW BritNed with Netherlands and 500MW East-West Interconnector

with Ireland

UK and EU papers make no mention of flows between the UK and EU halting

on 29 March 2019

National Grid 28 June 2018 ndash ldquoOur internal analysis backed up by two

separate external legal views has stated that there is no legal right for the

interconnectors to be simply ldquoswitched offrdquo post Brexitrdquo

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 151

What will the commercial arrangements be

UK will lose access to the single allocation platform for forward interconnection capacity European balancing platforms and the single day-ahead and intraday coupling

UKrsquos NEMOs ndash ie EPEX Spot and Nord Pool ndash will become third country operators and will no longer be able to carry out market coupling services between UK and EU

Option 1 - open to remaining in the EUrsquos internal energy market (IEM) This includes remaining part of the EUrsquos Emissions Trading System One caveat ldquoThe UK does not believe that participation in the IEM should require a common rulebook on wider environmental and climate change rulesrdquo

Option 2 ndash Leave the IEM and explore how interconnector trade continues without automatic capacity allocation National Grid has contingencies in place

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 152

Regulations and REMIT

UK market participants will have to

register with the regulatory authority

of the Member State in which they

are active

The registration form has to be

submitted prior to entering into a

transaction which is required to be

reported

ldquoThe UK is putting in place

arrangements so that when trading

after exit businesses will have

certainty that they will not face

substantially different requirements

compared to their current

obligations under the Regulation on

Wholesale Energy Market Integrity

and Transparency (REMIT)rdquo

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 153

If the UK leaves the IEM what happens

Positive for existing interconnectors Increased price divergence between UK

and continental markets possible without market coupling

Negative for interconnectors in development Investor confidence weakens

New projects already delayed

Will liquidity in wholesale market be affected

Agenda

1) Brexit ndash UK installations and the short-term market impact

2) Long-term considerations for the EUA price

3) Beware of interactions

4) Future of the carbon price support

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 157

Short-term considerations

UK installations will exit the EU ETS on 29 March 2019

UK brought forward its compliance deadline to 15 March 2019

UK compliance is guaranteed for emissions year 2018

Depending on broad negotiations transition period could lead to Brexit

Carbon Price support ndash what does it actually mean

Future of UK carbon priceremains vague

In 2017 budget

Government total carbon price is set at the right level

In 2018 budget

The government will seek to reduce the CPS rate if the Total Carbon Price remains high

Carbon Emission tax level for2021 set at next budget

Conclusion

A no-deal scenario would have a moderate short-term bearish effect on EUA

prices

Fundamentally we talk about extra supply of between 100 to 130m allowances until29 March

Sentiment might weigh heavier

Long-term Brexit will in principle support carbon prices

Renewables in the UK ndash Historical development

Onshore wind and solar capacity grew

quickly under the Renewable Obligation

(RO) scheme but that is now closed

Since 2014 onshore wind and solar

have been excluded from the Contracts

for Difference (CfD) scheme

Therefore offshore wind looks set to

dominate capacity additions under

current policies

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

The UK wants to remain in the IEM while removing itself from climate

change targets and commitments

If this were to be agreed the UK would not have to commit to a share

of the EUrsquos recently agreed 2030 renewable target of 32

If there were to be no deal this would also lead to the government

dropping out of the EU renewable target

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 170

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

If this were to happen the impact on the UK would be minimal compared to current expectations

With no subsidies for onshore wind and solar future growth will come from subsidy-free projects

Funding of pound557m has already been agreed for additional CfD rounds which will lead to offshore wind growth

How would a Labour government impact renewables

While Brexit will not have a major impact on renewable development a Labour government certainly would

In October the Labour Party released plans to massively increase RES capacity by 2030

Offshore wind ndash 52GW (from 8GW currently

Onshore wind ndash 30GW (from 13GW currently)

Solar ndash 35GW (from 13GW currently)

The impact on capture prices would prevent subsidy-free developments

A massive expansion of renewables would lead to price cannibalisation pushing capture prices lower

By 2030 offshore wind capture prices are forecast to be euro22MWh below the base case assumption

Such low capture prices would prevent subsidy-free development in the long-term and lock in huge subsidies for existing capacity

Coal and gas output in the UK - Historical

UK coal output has declined considerably since the CPS was introduced in

2013 (from 137TWh in 2012 to 21TWh in 2017)

Over the same period gas generation increased from 83TWh to 120TWh

Conclusions

The biggest disrupter to the power market comes not from Brexit but from a

Labour government

This would likely lead to a rapid renewable expansion which would pressure prices lower

Under current policies renewable growth will be dominated by offshore wind in

the mid-term due to the absence of subsidies for onshore wind or solar

Despite an official coal phase-out date of October 2025 coal will be almost

completely pushed out of the mix from 2021

The UK looks set to increasingly rely on interconnectors as older thermal

capacity closes

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Long term contract between a party generating and selling electricity and a

party purchasing electricity Have existed for decades

Corporate PPA

Renewable Corporate PPA

Electricity traded between the two parties comes from a Renewable Energy

power plant PPAs are necessary to be in place prior to a RE asset

developer securing financing from a bank for their project Purchasers

are attracted by lower prices and the lsquogreen credentialsrsquo in having their power

supply come from 100 renewable sources RE Corporate PPAs are often

fixed for long periods up to 15 years to ensure revenue security for the

developer

Corporate PPAs enable businesses to source electricity from generators at

an agreed price while giving producers a reliable guaranteed buyer at a

stable price

RE Corporate PPAs are quickly gaining in popularity

in Europe

Around 6 of new installed wind

power capacity in Europe in the

last 5 years is under PPAs

In Europe over 1GW of power was contracted

under PPAs in 2017 with 95 of this volume

PPAs affect the hedging profile of EEX Members

and extends it to the long-term

8

Old hedging horizon to Cal+3

New hedging horizon to Cal+10

EEX members have been using Power Futures to hedge merchant risk from

conventional power plants for years

EEX is investigating listing further calendar expiries to support long-term

hedging of Renewable Energy assets

How do EEX Power Derivatives help to mitigate

PPA Price Risk

9

Since 29th May 2018 15 long-term hedges of calendar contracts up to 2024

have been registered OTC in Spanish Power with a total volume of 116 TWh

copy EEX AG 2018

Market participants who enter into long-term PPAs can register a strip of cash-

settled calendar futures out to Cal+6 for clearing with EEX

This means that sellers can lock in a secure cash flow for up to 6 years

for the sale of electricity in the respective market area

Buyers lock in a guaranteed price of purchase for up to 6 years providing

certainty on their future electricity price and protecting against upswings

Therefore the purchase or sale of derivatives provides long-term price risk hedging

together with counterparty risk mitigation through the ECC clearing house

Example Long-Term Hedge cleared on 12 July on

Spanish Power

10

A 50 MW strip from July 18 to Cal+6 was cleared in Spanish Power on 12 July

2018 with an initial margin requirement of 6543286 EUR

The Initial Margin percentage of the notional value of the trade was 466

The execution price of each trade was 4985 EUR

Long-term hedges cause volume spikes and contribute to Open Interest

Spanish Power now has the highest Open Interest in long-dated contracts

Daily Settlement in Illiquid Contracts and Legacy

Trades

12

In illiquid long-dated contracts where there have been no order book trades

EEX uses two methods to determine settlement prices

Fair Value Providers ask chief traders from select members what their fair

values are for settlement

Market Structure take the daily price dynamic of the last liquid expiry and

apply it to the illiquid expiries (ex Cal21 increases by 30 euroct then Cal22 ndash

Cal24 will increase by 30 euroct)

Legacy Trades are possible at EEX in order to ldquoroll overrdquo a long-term hedge

at the previously traded price once a new Cal is open

Prices which are out of range must be approved by the respective General

Clearing Member

Renewable Corporate PPAs are the dawn of a new

era in the Energy Transition

13

PPAs are an enabler of new Renewable Energy

developmentshellip

Major energy players are already starting to hedge their

long-term price risk with standard EEX products

hellipbut the market is in need of more standardisation and

better risk management products in order to grow and

meet the EUrsquos ambitious targets

EEX will ensure we remain part of our Membersrsquo long-term

hedging strategy and explore opportunities to build new

PPA-related products

Trend 3 ndash we expect carbon prices to increase rapidly in the early years of the 2020s and relax in the later years

Political context post-2020 reform with the strengthened MSR is cutting supply short and is a game changer for the system

Participants in the last month the increased political stability incentivised financial players to participate in the system

Volume Due to the MSR abatement in the future will be necessary and will have to be delivered through fuel switch in the power sector and carbon efficiency measures in industry

Trend 4 Brexit

Power Markets

Link to internal energy markets at risk

As UK is highly dependent on electricity imports the continued functioning of the interconnectors are crucial

Long-term policies are defined independently of Brexit

Future of UK power market highly dependent on party manifestos

Carbon Markets

Creating sentiment effect in the last weeks

Short-term effects of hard Brexit selling by utilities and industrials

Long-term solution requires adjustment of the system

Both ambition levels for carbon reduction UK and EU should not be seriously affected

The fundamentalsThe MSR is increasing the pressure on compliance companies in the next years

Yearly supply is not enough

anymore to cover yearly demand

Compliance companies will be

forced to invest in reduction

measures or historic surplus needs

to come to market

First available are fuel switch from

coal to gas

Later on industrial abatement

The fundamentalsWhere would CO2 reductions come from

Biggest abatement pressure is on

power sector in the beginning

Fuel switch on short notice available

No additional investments necessary

Immediate economic impact

Once fuel switch capacity is utilized

industrial and power sector need to

invest to abate emissions

Especially in second half of phase 4

industrials will start abating emissions

One key bit needs to be taken into account the TNAC is not the available surplus

Due to the exclusion of EUA compliance by the aviation sector the TNAC is higher than the available surplus

Leads to overestimation of market surplus

Higher MSR outtake

In case aviation shortfall gt400 Mt lower threshold obsolete

Higher threshold nearly impossible to undercut

But CORSIA effect

We expect this to be changed and incorporate a TNAC equal to the surplus in our analysis from 2022 onwards

This will trigger significant emission

reductions in power and industry

Decreasing base emissions reduce

hedge demand significantly

MSR goes back to 12 and demand

decreases (lower base emissions)

Triggered abatement increases TNAC

Conclusion

Changing power sector dynamics could lead to significantly lower emissions

If we factor in the current trend towards coal phase-outs all over EuropeThe surplus increases more

The hedge demand reduces more

With lower power sector demand TNAC increases with current MSR parameters

According to our analysis the MSR will not be strong enough to mitigate the surplus built-up due to lower emissions

Less demand results in laxer market balance lower prices

Adjustment of MSR parameters an option to keep market tightness

Upcoming auctions in Italy

Italy is planning to auction 79 GW of capacity between January 2019 and May 2021

Of the total 56GW will be for solar and wind competing against one another

Winning bidders will be offered a CfD contract (like the UK model for RES support)

The latest draft of the decree sets a 70 euroMWh for wind and solar

Conclusions

Subsidy-free projects are beginning to emerge in a number of EU member

states

However Spain and Italy could be the first EU countries to attempt to roll out

subsidy-free capacity at scale driven by comparatively higher power prices

Investor appetite for risk given market price uncertainty will remain the greatest

challenge going forward How many projects can get off the ground

The PPA market can help de-risk projects but it remains in a nascent stage

Continued reductions in LCOE will help improve the prospects for projects

Our forecasts suggest that profit margins will be best for early movers

Several older coal-fired plants have closed over the past three years which has

led to lower coal-fired generation output

Gas output has begun to exceed coal output and the trend will continue due to

carbon prices and coal closures

Modelling Impact on gas output

Gas-fired output will increase through to 2023 as EUA prices drive fuel switching

Output will decline in the later 2020s due to softening EUAs and increased RES

Full coal phase-out in 2030 will lead to an increase in gas output

Carbon price floor plan

In addition to the coal phase-out the government plans to introduce a carbon price floor for the

power sector

The floor would start at euro18tonne in 2020 increasing to euro43tonne in 2030

We anticipate the floor to be below EUA prices until 2026

Under the base case assumptions the Netherlands becomes a net exporter in 2023 and

maintains this position through to 2030

If the carbon price floor is introduced the Netherlands will revert back to a net importer status as

Carbon price floor ndash Emissions

Under the base case assumptions power sector emissions would decline only

marginally through to 2029 before a big drop associated with coal phase-out in 2030

The carbon price floor would lead to a much more significant drop 2026-2030

However the emissions decline would be cancelled out by an increase elsewhere

Final decision to be reached in main proceedings likely end of 2020

Lignite mining possible until approx end 2019

But annual reduction expected from 40 Mt tobetween 25 and 30 Mt (2019-21)

RWE expects substantial short-term operational effects as of 2019

Power generation to decrease by between 9 and13 TWh

Affected plants are Neurath and Niederauszligem

Conclusions

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 138

Coal phase-out across the EU

Coal and lignite have the second largest installed capacity in the EU

10 EU countries decided to phase out coal several more in

discussion

Phase-out will come in waves 2021-2022 2025 and 2030

Regardless of coal phase-out plans BREF will affect one third of

Europersquos coal-fired capacity

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 139

Capacity implications

Three very different policy approaches to coal

Netherlands Complete phase out by 2030 and (potentially) a carbon price floor

Germany Gradual reduction over the next ten years driven by government intervention

Poland Attempting to keep capacity online using the capacity mechanism to provide support

None of the three countries will phase out coal rapidly

In absence of policy decision Industrial Emissions DirectiveBREF will define the pathway

Will the interconnectors stop flowing power

UK currently has three underwater cables connected to the EU ndash 2GW IFA with

France 1GW BritNed with Netherlands and 500MW East-West Interconnector

with Ireland

UK and EU papers make no mention of flows between the UK and EU halting

on 29 March 2019

National Grid 28 June 2018 ndash ldquoOur internal analysis backed up by two

separate external legal views has stated that there is no legal right for the

interconnectors to be simply ldquoswitched offrdquo post Brexitrdquo

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 151

What will the commercial arrangements be

UK will lose access to the single allocation platform for forward interconnection capacity European balancing platforms and the single day-ahead and intraday coupling

UKrsquos NEMOs ndash ie EPEX Spot and Nord Pool ndash will become third country operators and will no longer be able to carry out market coupling services between UK and EU

Option 1 - open to remaining in the EUrsquos internal energy market (IEM) This includes remaining part of the EUrsquos Emissions Trading System One caveat ldquoThe UK does not believe that participation in the IEM should require a common rulebook on wider environmental and climate change rulesrdquo

Option 2 ndash Leave the IEM and explore how interconnector trade continues without automatic capacity allocation National Grid has contingencies in place

What has the EU said What has the UK said

Regulations and REMIT

UK market participants will have to

register with the regulatory authority

of the Member State in which they

are active

The registration form has to be

submitted prior to entering into a

transaction which is required to be

reported

ldquoThe UK is putting in place

arrangements so that when trading

after exit businesses will have

certainty that they will not face

substantially different requirements

compared to their current

obligations under the Regulation on

Wholesale Energy Market Integrity

and Transparency (REMIT)rdquo

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 153

If the UK leaves the IEM what happens

Positive for existing interconnectors Increased price divergence between UK

and continental markets possible without market coupling

Negative for interconnectors in development Investor confidence weakens

Conclusion

A no-deal scenario would have a moderate short-term bearish effect on EUA

Long-term Brexit will in principle support carbon prices

Renewables in the UK ndash Historical development

Onshore wind and solar capacity grew

quickly under the Renewable Obligation

(RO) scheme but that is now closed

Since 2014 onshore wind and solar

have been excluded from the Contracts

for Difference (CfD) scheme

Therefore offshore wind looks set to

dominate capacity additions under

current policies

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

The UK wants to remain in the IEM while removing itself from climate

change targets and commitments

If this were to be agreed the UK would not have to commit to a share

of the EUrsquos recently agreed 2030 renewable target of 32

If there were to be no deal this would also lead to the government

dropping out of the EU renewable target

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 170

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

If this were to happen the impact on the UK would be minimal compared to current expectations

With no subsidies for onshore wind and solar future growth will come from subsidy-free projects

Funding of pound557m has already been agreed for additional CfD rounds which will lead to offshore wind growth

How would a Labour government impact renewables

While Brexit will not have a major impact on renewable development a Labour government certainly would

In October the Labour Party released plans to massively increase RES capacity by 2030

Offshore wind ndash 52GW (from 8GW currently

Onshore wind ndash 30GW (from 13GW currently)

Solar ndash 35GW (from 13GW currently)

The impact on capture prices would prevent subsidy-free developments

A massive expansion of renewables would lead to price cannibalisation pushing capture prices lower

By 2030 offshore wind capture prices are forecast to be euro22MWh below the base case assumption

Such low capture prices would prevent subsidy-free development in the long-term and lock in huge subsidies for existing capacity

Coal and gas output in the UK - Historical

UK coal output has declined considerably since the CPS was introduced in

2013 (from 137TWh in 2012 to 21TWh in 2017)

Over the same period gas generation increased from 83TWh to 120TWh

Conclusions

The biggest disrupter to the power market comes not from Brexit but from a

Labour government

This would likely lead to a rapid renewable expansion which would pressure prices lower

Under current policies renewable growth will be dominated by offshore wind in

the mid-term due to the absence of subsidies for onshore wind or solar

Despite an official coal phase-out date of October 2025 coal will be almost

completely pushed out of the mix from 2021

The UK looks set to increasingly rely on interconnectors as older thermal

capacity closes

Solar has the largest potential in terms of penetration

Solar costs vary a lot based on the size of the plant

Onshore wind and utility scale PV are already cost-competitive with conventional thermal plants

Higher RES in the system will require a higher degree of flexibility

Electricity storage will play a crucial role in enabling the next phase of the energy transition

Prices are falling and based on the difference services that could be provided storage may become attractive quite soon

Power-to-gas may enter into the game (seasonal storage)

Conclusions

Targets Unclear destiny of binding national targets

EU as a whole is at risk to miss the 2020 target as the worst performers also are largest consumers

Statistical transfers can help fill the gap but will likely not be used for entire delta

Uncertainty regarding implications of not meeting national targets

PolicyRamp up of support and statistical transfers in early 2020s

Technology neutral auctions is the new black in mid-term

PPAs will play an important role

Wind and solar utility-scale projects are already competitive with conventional thermal

Storage systems will be essential in driving the decarbonisation

Market impactGrid-parity is already a reality in some cases while market parity maybe just behind the corner

Carbon price pushing up power prices will make renewables far more competitive reducing the need for subsidies

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Long term contract between a party generating and selling electricity and a

party purchasing electricity Have existed for decades

Corporate PPA

Renewable Corporate PPA

Electricity traded between the two parties comes from a Renewable Energy

power plant PPAs are necessary to be in place prior to a RE asset

developer securing financing from a bank for their project Purchasers

are attracted by lower prices and the lsquogreen credentialsrsquo in having their power

supply come from 100 renewable sources RE Corporate PPAs are often

fixed for long periods up to 15 years to ensure revenue security for the

developer

Corporate PPAs enable businesses to source electricity from generators at

an agreed price while giving producers a reliable guaranteed buyer at a

stable price

copy EEX AG 2018

RE Corporate PPAs are quickly gaining in popularity

in Europe

4

Around 6 of new installed wind

power capacity in Europe in the

last 5 years is under PPAs

In Europe over 1GW of power was contracted

under PPAs in 2017 with 95 of this volume

coming from the Netherlands Norway

Sweden and the UK due to favourable policy

conditions

More PPAs in Germany and Europe are

expected once wind and solar assets start

coming off of subsidies in the next few

years

Old hedging horizon to Cal+3

EEX members have been using Power Futures to hedge merchant risk from

How do EEX Power Derivatives help to mitigate

PPA Price Risk

9

Since 29th May 2018 15 long-term hedges of calendar contracts up to 2024

have been registered OTC in Spanish Power with a total volume of 116 TWh

copy EEX AG 2018

Market participants who enter into long-term PPAs can register a strip of cash-

settled calendar futures out to Cal+6 for clearing with EEX

This means that sellers can lock in a secure cash flow for up to 6 years

for the sale of electricity in the respective market area

Buyers lock in a guaranteed price of purchase for up to 6 years providing

certainty on their future electricity price and protecting against upswings

Therefore the purchase or sale of derivatives provides long-term price risk hedging

together with counterparty risk mitigation through the ECC clearing house

Example Long-Term Hedge cleared on 12 July on

Spanish Power

10

A 50 MW strip from July 18 to Cal+6 was cleared in Spanish Power on 12 July

2018 with an initial margin requirement of 6543286 EUR

The Initial Margin percentage of the notional value of the trade was 466

The execution price of each trade was 4985 EUR

Long-term hedges cause volume spikes and contribute to Open Interest

Spanish Power now has the highest Open Interest in long-dated contracts

Daily Settlement in Illiquid Contracts and Legacy

Trades

12

In illiquid long-dated contracts where there have been no order book trades

EEX uses two methods to determine settlement prices

Fair Value Providers ask chief traders from select members what their fair

values are for settlement

Market Structure take the daily price dynamic of the last liquid expiry and

apply it to the illiquid expiries (ex Cal21 increases by 30 euroct then Cal22 ndash

Cal24 will increase by 30 euroct)

Legacy Trades are possible at EEX in order to ldquoroll overrdquo a long-term hedge

at the previously traded price once a new Cal is open

Prices which are out of range must be approved by the respective General

Clearing Member

Renewable Corporate PPAs are the dawn of a new

era in the Energy Transition

developmentshellip

Major energy players are already starting to hedge their

long-term price risk with standard EEX products

hellipbut the market is in need of more standardisation and

better risk management products in order to grow and

meet the EUrsquos ambitious targets

EEX will ensure we remain part of our Membersrsquo long-term

Trend 3 ndash we expect carbon prices to increase rapidly in the early years of the 2020s and relax in the later years

Political context post-2020 reform with the strengthened MSR is cutting supply short and is a game changer for the system

Participants in the last month the increased political stability incentivised financial players to participate in the system

Volume Due to the MSR abatement in the future will be necessary and will have to be delivered through fuel switch in the power sector and carbon efficiency measures in industry

Trend 4 Brexit

Power Markets

Link to internal energy markets at risk

As UK is highly dependent on electricity imports the continued functioning of the interconnectors are crucial

Long-term policies are defined independently of Brexit

Future of UK power market highly dependent on party manifestos

Carbon Markets

Creating sentiment effect in the last weeks

Short-term effects of hard Brexit selling by utilities and industrials

Long-term solution requires adjustment of the system

Both ambition levels for carbon reduction UK and EU should not be seriously affected

The fundamentalsThe MSR is increasing the pressure on compliance companies in the next years

Yearly supply is not enough

anymore to cover yearly demand

Compliance companies will be

forced to invest in reduction

measures or historic surplus needs

to come to market

First available are fuel switch from

coal to gas

Later on industrial abatement

The fundamentalsWhere would CO2 reductions come from

Biggest abatement pressure is on

power sector in the beginning

Fuel switch on short notice available

No additional investments necessary

Immediate economic impact

Once fuel switch capacity is utilized

industrial and power sector need to

invest to abate emissions

Especially in second half of phase 4

industrials will start abating emissions

Conclusions

Only as of 2019 MSR intake leads to a significant scarcity on the market

In 2018 the increases are based on speculative buying and compliance

preparation for the MSR

Mid-term risks and opportunities

Hard Brexit

Clean spread development brown dark and spark spreads

Anticipation buying of compliance companies

Sell off triggered by one or few long players

Further behaviour of speculators

One key bit needs to be taken into account the TNAC is not the available surplus

Due to the exclusion of EUA compliance by the aviation sector the TNAC is higher than the available surplus

Leads to overestimation of market surplus

Higher MSR outtake

In case aviation shortfall gt400 Mt lower threshold obsolete

Higher threshold nearly impossible to undercut

But CORSIA effect

We expect this to be changed and incorporate a TNAC equal to the surplus in our analysis from 2022 onwards

Conclusion

Changing power sector dynamics could lead to significantly lower emissions

If we factor in the current trend towards coal phase-outs all over EuropeThe surplus increases more

The hedge demand reduces more

With lower power sector demand TNAC increases with current MSR parameters

According to our analysis the MSR will not be strong enough to mitigate the surplus built-up due to lower emissions

Less demand results in laxer market balance lower prices

Adjustment of MSR parameters an option to keep market tightness

Conclusions

Subsidy-free projects are beginning to emerge in a number of EU member

states

However Spain and Italy could be the first EU countries to attempt to roll out

subsidy-free capacity at scale driven by comparatively higher power prices

Investor appetite for risk given market price uncertainty will remain the greatest

challenge going forward How many projects can get off the ground

The PPA market can help de-risk projects but it remains in a nascent stage

Continued reductions in LCOE will help improve the prospects for projects

Our forecasts suggest that profit margins will be best for early movers

Coal amp gas in the Dutch power mix

Several older coal-fired plants have closed over the past three years which has

led to lower coal-fired generation output

Gas output has begun to exceed coal output and the trend will continue due to

carbon prices and coal closures

Carbon price floor plan

In addition to the coal phase-out the government plans to introduce a carbon price floor for the

power sector

The floor would start at euro18tonne in 2020 increasing to euro43tonne in 2030

We anticipate the floor to be below EUA prices until 2026

Carbon price floor ndash Emissions

Under the base case assumptions power sector emissions would decline only

marginally through to 2029 before a big drop associated with coal phase-out in 2030

The carbon price floor would lead to a much more significant drop 2026-2030

However the emissions decline would be cancelled out by an increase elsewhere

Final decision to be reached in main proceedings likely end of 2020

Lignite mining possible until approx end 2019

But annual reduction expected from 40 Mt tobetween 25 and 30 Mt (2019-21)

RWE expects substantial short-term operational effects as of 2019

Power generation to decrease by between 9 and13 TWh

Conclusions

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 138

Coal phase-out across the EU

Coal and lignite have the second largest installed capacity in the EU

10 EU countries decided to phase out coal several more in

discussion

Phase-out will come in waves 2021-2022 2025 and 2030

Regardless of coal phase-out plans BREF will affect one third of

Europersquos coal-fired capacity

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 139

Capacity implications

Three very different policy approaches to coal

Netherlands Complete phase out by 2030 and (potentially) a carbon price floor

Germany Gradual reduction over the next ten years driven by government intervention

Poland Attempting to keep capacity online using the capacity mechanism to provide support

None of the three countries will phase out coal rapidly

In absence of policy decision Industrial Emissions DirectiveBREF will define the pathway

Generation implications ndash carbon price importance

Coal generation will fall in all three

countries regardless of the coal

capacity developments because of

the bullish EUA prices

As EUA prices soften from 2024

coal-fired output will rebound

The most significant increase will be

seen in Poland as the majority of

capacity remains online 0

Will the interconnectors stop flowing power

UK currently has three underwater cables connected to the EU ndash 2GW IFA with

France 1GW BritNed with Netherlands and 500MW East-West Interconnector

separate external legal views has stated that there is no legal right for the

interconnectors to be simply ldquoswitched offrdquo post Brexitrdquo

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 151

What will the commercial arrangements be

UK will lose access to the single allocation platform for forward interconnection capacity European balancing platforms and the single day-ahead and intraday coupling

UKrsquos NEMOs ndash ie EPEX Spot and Nord Pool ndash will become third country operators and will no longer be able to carry out market coupling services between UK and EU

Option 1 - open to remaining in the EUrsquos internal energy market (IEM) This includes remaining part of the EUrsquos Emissions Trading System One caveat ldquoThe UK does not believe that participation in the IEM should require a common rulebook on wider environmental and climate change rulesrdquo

Option 2 ndash Leave the IEM and explore how interconnector trade continues without automatic capacity allocation National Grid has contingencies in place

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 152

Regulations and REMIT

UK market participants will have to

register with the regulatory authority

of the Member State in which they

are active

The registration form has to be

submitted prior to entering into a

transaction which is required to be

reported

ldquoThe UK is putting in place

arrangements so that when trading

after exit businesses will have

certainty that they will not face

substantially different requirements

compared to their current

obligations under the Regulation on

Wholesale Energy Market Integrity

and Transparency (REMIT)rdquo

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 153

If the UK leaves the IEM what happens

Positive for existing interconnectors Increased price divergence between UK

and continental markets possible without market coupling

Negative for interconnectors in development Investor confidence weakens

Renewables in the UK ndash Historical development

Onshore wind and solar capacity grew

quickly under the Renewable Obligation

(RO) scheme but that is now closed

Since 2014 onshore wind and solar

have been excluded from the Contracts

for Difference (CfD) scheme

Therefore offshore wind looks set to

dominate capacity additions under

current policies

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

The UK wants to remain in the IEM while removing itself from climate

change targets and commitments

If this were to be agreed the UK would not have to commit to a share

of the EUrsquos recently agreed 2030 renewable target of 32

If there were to be no deal this would also lead to the government

dropping out of the EU renewable target

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 170

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

If this were to happen the impact on the UK would be minimal compared to current expectations

With no subsidies for onshore wind and solar future growth will come from subsidy-free projects

Funding of pound557m has already been agreed for additional CfD rounds which will lead to offshore wind growth

The impact on capture prices would prevent subsidy-free developments

A massive expansion of renewables would lead to price cannibalisation pushing capture prices lower

By 2030 offshore wind capture prices are forecast to be euro22MWh below the base case assumption

Such low capture prices would prevent subsidy-free development in the long-term and lock in huge subsidies for existing capacity

UK coal output has declined considerably since the CPS was introduced in

2013 (from 137TWh in 2012 to 21TWh in 2017)

Over the same period gas generation increased from 83TWh to 120TWh

Conclusions

The biggest disrupter to the power market comes not from Brexit but from a

Labour government

This would likely lead to a rapid renewable expansion which would pressure prices lower

Under current policies renewable growth will be dominated by offshore wind in

the mid-term due to the absence of subsidies for onshore wind or solar

Despite an official coal phase-out date of October 2025 coal will be almost

completely pushed out of the mix from 2021

The UK looks set to increasingly rely on interconnectors as older thermal

capacity closes

Electricity storage will play a crucial role in enabling the next phase of the energy transition

Prices are falling and based on the difference services that could be provided storage may become attractive quite soon

Conclusions

Targets Unclear destiny of binding national targets

EU as a whole is at risk to miss the 2020 target as the worst performers also are largest consumers

Statistical transfers can help fill the gap but will likely not be used for entire delta

Uncertainty regarding implications of not meeting national targets

PolicyRamp up of support and statistical transfers in early 2020s

Technology neutral auctions is the new black in mid-term

PPAs will play an important role

Wind and solar utility-scale projects are already competitive with conventional thermal

Storage systems will be essential in driving the decarbonisation

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Long term contract between a party generating and selling electricity and a

party purchasing electricity Have existed for decades

Corporate PPA

Renewable Corporate PPA

Electricity traded between the two parties comes from a Renewable Energy

power plant PPAs are necessary to be in place prior to a RE asset

developer securing financing from a bank for their project Purchasers

are attracted by lower prices and the lsquogreen credentialsrsquo in having their power

supply come from 100 renewable sources RE Corporate PPAs are often

fixed for long periods up to 15 years to ensure revenue security for the

developer

Corporate PPAs enable businesses to source electricity from generators at

an agreed price while giving producers a reliable guaranteed buyer at a

stable price

copy EEX AG 2018

RE Corporate PPAs are quickly gaining in popularity

in Europe

4

Around 6 of new installed wind

power capacity in Europe in the

last 5 years is under PPAs

In Europe over 1GW of power was contracted

under PPAs in 2017 with 95 of this volume

coming from the Netherlands Norway

Sweden and the UK due to favourable policy

conditions

More PPAs in Germany and Europe are

expected once wind and solar assets start

coming off of subsidies in the next few

years

Old hedging horizon to Cal+3

EEX members have been using Power Futures to hedge merchant risk from

How do EEX Power Derivatives help to mitigate

PPA Price Risk

9

Since 29th May 2018 15 long-term hedges of calendar contracts up to 2024

have been registered OTC in Spanish Power with a total volume of 116 TWh

copy EEX AG 2018

Market participants who enter into long-term PPAs can register a strip of cash-

settled calendar futures out to Cal+6 for clearing with EEX

This means that sellers can lock in a secure cash flow for up to 6 years

for the sale of electricity in the respective market area

Buyers lock in a guaranteed price of purchase for up to 6 years providing

certainty on their future electricity price and protecting against upswings

Therefore the purchase or sale of derivatives provides long-term price risk hedging

together with counterparty risk mitigation through the ECC clearing house

Example Long-Term Hedge cleared on 12 July on

Spanish Power

10

A 50 MW strip from July 18 to Cal+6 was cleared in Spanish Power on 12 July

2018 with an initial margin requirement of 6543286 EUR

The Initial Margin percentage of the notional value of the trade was 466

Long-term hedges cause volume spikes and contribute to Open Interest

Spanish Power now has the highest Open Interest in long-dated contracts

Daily Settlement in Illiquid Contracts and Legacy

Trades

12

In illiquid long-dated contracts where there have been no order book trades

EEX uses two methods to determine settlement prices

Fair Value Providers ask chief traders from select members what their fair

values are for settlement

Market Structure take the daily price dynamic of the last liquid expiry and

apply it to the illiquid expiries (ex Cal21 increases by 30 euroct then Cal22 ndash

Cal24 will increase by 30 euroct)

Legacy Trades are possible at EEX in order to ldquoroll overrdquo a long-term hedge

at the previously traded price once a new Cal is open

Prices which are out of range must be approved by the respective General

Clearing Member

better risk management products in order to grow and

meet the EUrsquos ambitious targets

Trend 3 ndash we expect carbon prices to increase rapidly in the early years of the 2020s and relax in the later years

Political context post-2020 reform with the strengthened MSR is cutting supply short and is a game changer for the system

Participants in the last month the increased political stability incentivised financial players to participate in the system

Volume Due to the MSR abatement in the future will be necessary and will have to be delivered through fuel switch in the power sector and carbon efficiency measures in industry

Trend 4 Brexit

Power Markets

Link to internal energy markets at risk

As UK is highly dependent on electricity imports the continued functioning of the interconnectors are crucial

Long-term policies are defined independently of Brexit

Future of UK power market highly dependent on party manifestos

Carbon Markets

Creating sentiment effect in the last weeks

Short-term effects of hard Brexit selling by utilities and industrials

Long-term solution requires adjustment of the system

Both ambition levels for carbon reduction UK and EU should not be seriously affected

Mid-Term View

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 34

The fundamentalsThe MSR is increasing the pressure on compliance companies in the next years

Yearly supply is not enough

anymore to cover yearly demand

Compliance companies will be

forced to invest in reduction

measures or historic surplus needs

to come to market

First available are fuel switch from

coal to gas

Later on industrial abatement

projects

The fundamentalsWhere would CO2 reductions come from

Biggest abatement pressure is on

power sector in the beginning

Fuel switch on short notice available

No additional investments necessary

Immediate economic impact

Once fuel switch capacity is utilized

industrial and power sector need to

invest to abate emissions

Especially in second half of phase 4

industrials will start abating emissions

One key bit needs to be taken into account the TNAC is not the available surplus

Due to the exclusion of EUA compliance by the aviation sector the TNAC is higher than the available surplus

Leads to overestimation of market surplus

Higher MSR outtake

In case aviation shortfall gt400 Mt lower threshold obsolete

Higher threshold nearly impossible to undercut

But CORSIA effect

We expect this to be changed and incorporate a TNAC equal to the surplus in our analysis from 2022 onwards

Conclusion

Changing power sector dynamics could lead to significantly lower emissions

If we factor in the current trend towards coal phase-outs all over EuropeThe surplus increases more

The hedge demand reduces more

With lower power sector demand TNAC increases with current MSR parameters

According to our analysis the MSR will not be strong enough to mitigate the surplus built-up due to lower emissions

Less demand results in laxer market balance lower prices

Adjustment of MSR parameters an option to keep market tightness

Italy is planning to auction 79 GW of capacity between January 2019 and May 2021

Of the total 56GW will be for solar and wind competing against one another

Winning bidders will be offered a CfD contract (like the UK model for RES support)

Government support Minimum price floors

Minimum price floors provide

some protection against worst

case scenario prices

However the price floor needs to

be high enough to improve

bankability but low enough to

protect the government from

paying large subsidies

The recent price floors seen in

Spain were set at very low levels

Signposts

The Spanish energy strategy due before end of 2018

The new Italian government announced it will revise its 2017 National Energy

Strategy

Strike prices in the upcoming Italian auctions

RES projects in Spanish recent auctions ndash how many projects will be

commissioned and on time

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 90

Conclusions

Subsidy-free projects are beginning to emerge in a number of EU member

states

However Spain and Italy could be the first EU countries to attempt to roll out

subsidy-free capacity at scale driven by comparatively higher power prices

Investor appetite for risk given market price uncertainty will remain the greatest

challenge going forward How many projects can get off the ground

The PPA market can help de-risk projects but it remains in a nascent stage

Continued reductions in LCOE will help improve the prospects for projects

Our forecasts suggest that profit margins will be best for early movers

Carbon price floor plan

In addition to the coal phase-out the government plans to introduce a carbon price floor for the

The floor would start at euro18tonne in 2020 increasing to euro43tonne in 2030

We anticipate the floor to be below EUA prices until 2026

Carbon price floor ndash Emissions

Under the base case assumptions power sector emissions would decline only

marginally through to 2029 before a big drop associated with coal phase-out in 2030

The carbon price floor would lead to a much more significant drop 2026-2030

However the emissions decline would be cancelled out by an increase elsewhere

softening

Prices driven higher by

EUA price increase

Fuel switching seenSome coal capacity

phased-out

EUA prices fall more

Conclusions

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 138

Coal phase-out across the EU

Coal and lignite have the second largest installed capacity in the EU

10 EU countries decided to phase out coal several more in

discussion

Phase-out will come in waves 2021-2022 2025 and 2030

Regardless of coal phase-out plans BREF will affect one third of

Europersquos coal-fired capacity

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 139

Capacity implications

Three very different policy approaches to coal

Netherlands Complete phase out by 2030 and (potentially) a carbon price floor

Germany Gradual reduction over the next ten years driven by government intervention

Poland Attempting to keep capacity online using the capacity mechanism to provide support

None of the three countries will phase out coal rapidly

In absence of policy decision Industrial Emissions DirectiveBREF will define the pathway

Coal generation will fall in all three

countries regardless of the coal

capacity developments because of

the bullish EUA prices

As EUA prices soften from 2024

coal-fired output will rebound

The most significant increase will be

seen in Poland as the majority of

UK and EU papers make no mention of flows between the UK and EU halting

separate external legal views has stated that there is no legal right for the

interconnectors to be simply ldquoswitched offrdquo post Brexitrdquo

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 151

What will the commercial arrangements be

UK will lose access to the single allocation platform for forward interconnection capacity European balancing platforms and the single day-ahead and intraday coupling

UKrsquos NEMOs ndash ie EPEX Spot and Nord Pool ndash will become third country operators and will no longer be able to carry out market coupling services between UK and EU

Option 1 - open to remaining in the EUrsquos internal energy market (IEM) This includes remaining part of the EUrsquos Emissions Trading System One caveat ldquoThe UK does not believe that participation in the IEM should require a common rulebook on wider environmental and climate change rulesrdquo

Option 2 ndash Leave the IEM and explore how interconnector trade continues without automatic capacity allocation National Grid has contingencies in place

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 152

Regulations and REMIT

UK market participants will have to

register with the regulatory authority

of the Member State in which they

are active

The registration form has to be

submitted prior to entering into a

transaction which is required to be

reported

ldquoThe UK is putting in place

arrangements so that when trading

after exit businesses will have

certainty that they will not face

substantially different requirements

compared to their current

obligations under the Regulation on

Wholesale Energy Market Integrity

and Transparency (REMIT)rdquo

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 153

If the UK leaves the IEM what happens

Positive for existing interconnectors Increased price divergence between UK

and continental markets possible without market coupling

Negative for interconnectors in development Investor confidence weakens

Renewables in the UK ndash Historical development

Onshore wind and solar capacity grew

quickly under the Renewable Obligation

(RO) scheme but that is now closed

Since 2014 onshore wind and solar

have been excluded from the Contracts

for Difference (CfD) scheme

Therefore offshore wind looks set to

dominate capacity additions under

current policies

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

The UK wants to remain in the IEM while removing itself from climate

change targets and commitments

If this were to be agreed the UK would not have to commit to a share

of the EUrsquos recently agreed 2030 renewable target of 32

If there were to be no deal this would also lead to the government

dropping out of the EU renewable target

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 170

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

If this were to happen the impact on the UK would be minimal compared to current expectations

With no subsidies for onshore wind and solar future growth will come from subsidy-free projects

Funding of pound557m has already been agreed for additional CfD rounds which will lead to offshore wind growth

The impact on capture prices would prevent subsidy-free developments

A massive expansion of renewables would lead to price cannibalisation pushing capture prices lower

By 2030 offshore wind capture prices are forecast to be euro22MWh below the base case assumption

Such low capture prices would prevent subsidy-free development in the long-term and lock in huge subsidies for existing capacity

Conclusions

The biggest disrupter to the power market comes not from Brexit but from a

Labour government

This would likely lead to a rapid renewable expansion which would pressure prices lower

Under current policies renewable growth will be dominated by offshore wind in

the mid-term due to the absence of subsidies for onshore wind or solar

Despite an official coal phase-out date of October 2025 coal will be almost

completely pushed out of the mix from 2021

The UK looks set to increasingly rely on interconnectors as older thermal

capacity closes

Renewable targets for 2020

EU level

Binding target of 20 RES in final energy

consumption in 2020 (comprised of Electricity

(RES-E) Heating amp Cooling and Transport

No binding target for RES-E

It reached 17 in 2016 and is on course for

2020

Member State level

Each country has a binding target for RES in

final energy consumption

11 member states already exceeded this target

in 2016 most of the 17 other countries are on

course to meet 2020 target

Conclusions

Targets Unclear destiny of binding national targets

EU as a whole is at risk to miss the 2020 target as the worst performers also are largest consumers

Statistical transfers can help fill the gap but will likely not be used for entire delta

Uncertainty regarding implications of not meeting national targets

PolicyRamp up of support and statistical transfers in early 2020s

Technology neutral auctions is the new black in mid-term

PPAs will play an important role

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Long term contract between a party generating and selling electricity and a

party purchasing electricity Have existed for decades

Corporate PPA

Renewable Corporate PPA

Electricity traded between the two parties comes from a Renewable Energy

power plant PPAs are necessary to be in place prior to a RE asset

developer securing financing from a bank for their project Purchasers

are attracted by lower prices and the lsquogreen credentialsrsquo in having their power

supply come from 100 renewable sources RE Corporate PPAs are often

fixed for long periods up to 15 years to ensure revenue security for the

developer

Corporate PPAs enable businesses to source electricity from generators at

an agreed price while giving producers a reliable guaranteed buyer at a

stable price

copy EEX AG 2018

RE Corporate PPAs are quickly gaining in popularity

in Europe

4

Around 6 of new installed wind

power capacity in Europe in the

last 5 years is under PPAs

In Europe over 1GW of power was contracted

under PPAs in 2017 with 95 of this volume

coming from the Netherlands Norway

Sweden and the UK due to favourable policy

conditions

More PPAs in Germany and Europe are

expected once wind and solar assets start

coming off of subsidies in the next few

years

How do EEX Power Derivatives help to mitigate

PPA Price Risk

9

Since 29th May 2018 15 long-term hedges of calendar contracts up to 2024

have been registered OTC in Spanish Power with a total volume of 116 TWh

copy EEX AG 2018

Market participants who enter into long-term PPAs can register a strip of cash-

settled calendar futures out to Cal+6 for clearing with EEX

This means that sellers can lock in a secure cash flow for up to 6 years

for the sale of electricity in the respective market area

Buyers lock in a guaranteed price of purchase for up to 6 years providing

certainty on their future electricity price and protecting against upswings

Therefore the purchase or sale of derivatives provides long-term price risk hedging

together with counterparty risk mitigation through the ECC clearing house

Example Long-Term Hedge cleared on 12 July on

Spanish Power

A 50 MW strip from July 18 to Cal+6 was cleared in Spanish Power on 12 July

2018 with an initial margin requirement of 6543286 EUR

Spanish Power now has the highest Open Interest in long-dated contracts

Daily Settlement in Illiquid Contracts and Legacy

Trades

12

In illiquid long-dated contracts where there have been no order book trades

EEX uses two methods to determine settlement prices

Fair Value Providers ask chief traders from select members what their fair

values are for settlement

Market Structure take the daily price dynamic of the last liquid expiry and

apply it to the illiquid expiries (ex Cal21 increases by 30 euroct then Cal22 ndash

Cal24 will increase by 30 euroct)

Legacy Trades are possible at EEX in order to ldquoroll overrdquo a long-term hedge

at the previously traded price once a new Cal is open

Prices which are out of range must be approved by the respective General

Clearing Member

Trend 3 ndash we expect carbon prices to increase rapidly in the early years of the 2020s and relax in the later years

Political context post-2020 reform with the strengthened MSR is cutting supply short and is a game changer for the system

Participants in the last month the increased political stability incentivised financial players to participate in the system

Volume Due to the MSR abatement in the future will be necessary and will have to be delivered through fuel switch in the power sector and carbon efficiency measures in industry

As UK is highly dependent on electricity imports the continued functioning of the interconnectors are crucial

Long-term policies are defined independently of Brexit

Future of UK power market highly dependent on party manifestos

Carbon Markets

Creating sentiment effect in the last weeks

Short-term effects of hard Brexit selling by utilities and industrials

Long-term solution requires adjustment of the system

Mid-Term View

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 34

The fundamentalsThe MSR is increasing the pressure on compliance companies in the next years

Yearly supply is not enough

anymore to cover yearly demand

Compliance companies will be

forced to invest in reduction

measures or historic surplus needs

to come to market

First available are fuel switch from

coal to gas

Later on industrial abatement

The fundamentalsWhere would CO2 reductions come from

Biggest abatement pressure is on

power sector in the beginning

Fuel switch on short notice available

No additional investments necessary

Immediate economic impact

Once fuel switch capacity is utilized

industrial and power sector need to

invest to abate emissions

Especially in second half of phase 4

industrials will start abating emissions

One key bit needs to be taken into account the TNAC is not the available surplus

Due to the exclusion of EUA compliance by the aviation sector the TNAC is higher than the available surplus

Leads to overestimation of market surplus

Higher MSR outtake

In case aviation shortfall gt400 Mt lower threshold obsolete

Higher threshold nearly impossible to undercut

But CORSIA effect

We expect this to be changed and incorporate a TNAC equal to the surplus in our analysis from 2022 onwards

This will trigger significant emission

reductions in power and industry

Decreasing base emissions reduce

hedge demand significantly

MSR goes back to 12 and demand

decreases (lower base emissions)

Triggered abatement increases TNAC

Conclusion

Changing power sector dynamics could lead to significantly lower emissions

If we factor in the current trend towards coal phase-outs all over EuropeThe surplus increases more

The hedge demand reduces more

With lower power sector demand TNAC increases with current MSR parameters

According to our analysis the MSR will not be strong enough to mitigate the surplus built-up due to lower emissions

Less demand results in laxer market balance lower prices

Adjustment of MSR parameters an option to keep market tightness

Upcoming auctions in Italy

Italy is planning to auction 79 GW of capacity between January 2019 and May 2021

Of the total 56GW will be for solar and wind competing against one another

Winning bidders will be offered a CfD contract (like the UK model for RES support)

The latest draft of the decree sets a 70 euroMWh for wind and solar

RES ON ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION

The SEN was presented in November 2017 after a long consultation with more than 250 stakeholders

The SEN went beyond the RES EU target proposed by the EC but it now falls short of the new target

Great part of the rise is on the power sector with solar accounting for 24 of the electricity consumption and wind for 13

The SEN foresees EUR 35bn to be invested in RES and EUR 30bn to be invested in grids

Government support Minimum price floors

Minimum price floors provide

some protection against worst

case scenario prices

However the price floor needs to

be high enough to improve

bankability but low enough to

protect the government from

paying large subsidies

Spain were set at very low levels

Strategy

Conclusions

Subsidy-free projects are beginning to emerge in a number of EU member

states

However Spain and Italy could be the first EU countries to attempt to roll out

subsidy-free capacity at scale driven by comparatively higher power prices

Investor appetite for risk given market price uncertainty will remain the greatest

challenge going forward How many projects can get off the ground

The PPA market can help de-risk projects but it remains in a nascent stage

Continued reductions in LCOE will help improve the prospects for projects

Our forecasts suggest that profit margins will be best for early movers

Under the base case assumptions power sector emissions would decline only

marginally through to 2029 before a big drop associated with coal phase-out in 2030

The carbon price floor would lead to a much more significant drop 2026-2030

However the emissions decline would be cancelled out by an increase elsewhere

Hambacher Forest ndash RWE impact

Muumlnster Higher Administrative Court ruled to halt forest clearance 5 Oct

Final decision to be reached in main proceedings likely end of 2020

Lignite mining possible until approx end 2019

But annual reduction expected from 40 Mt tobetween 25 and 30 Mt (2019-21)

RWE expects substantial short-term operational effects as of 2019

Power generation to decrease by between 9 and13 TWh

Affected plants are Neurath and Niederauszligem

Clearance work only permitted Oct to Feb Delay of at least a year

Impact on Hambach generation

With potential closures we see a

reduction of 182 TWh in 2023

This would translate to a reduction

of 138 Mt emissions in 2023

Below our assumptions for the

bdquomoderate scenarioldquo which assumes

68 GW lignite and 36 GW hard

coal to drop-out

Hambach can be seen as preview

Conclusions

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 138

Coal phase-out across the EU

Coal and lignite have the second largest installed capacity in the EU

10 EU countries decided to phase out coal several more in

discussion

Phase-out will come in waves 2021-2022 2025 and 2030

Regardless of coal phase-out plans BREF will affect one third of

Europersquos coal-fired capacity

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 139

Capacity implications

Three very different policy approaches to coal

Netherlands Complete phase out by 2030 and (potentially) a carbon price floor

Germany Gradual reduction over the next ten years driven by government intervention

Poland Attempting to keep capacity online using the capacity mechanism to provide support

None of the three countries will phase out coal rapidly

In absence of policy decision Industrial Emissions DirectiveBREF will define the pathway

What will the commercial arrangements be

UK will lose access to the single allocation platform for forward interconnection capacity European balancing platforms and the single day-ahead and intraday coupling

UKrsquos NEMOs ndash ie EPEX Spot and Nord Pool ndash will become third country operators and will no longer be able to carry out market coupling services between UK and EU

Option 1 - open to remaining in the EUrsquos internal energy market (IEM) This includes remaining part of the EUrsquos Emissions Trading System One caveat ldquoThe UK does not believe that participation in the IEM should require a common rulebook on wider environmental and climate change rulesrdquo

Option 2 ndash Leave the IEM and explore how interconnector trade continues without automatic capacity allocation National Grid has contingencies in place

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 152

Regulations and REMIT

UK market participants will have to

register with the regulatory authority

of the Member State in which they

are active

The registration form has to be

submitted prior to entering into a

transaction which is required to be

reported

ldquoThe UK is putting in place

arrangements so that when trading

after exit businesses will have

certainty that they will not face

substantially different requirements

compared to their current

obligations under the Regulation on

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 153

If the UK leaves the IEM what happens

Positive for existing interconnectors Increased price divergence between UK

and continental markets possible without market coupling

Negative for interconnectors in development Investor confidence weakens

Renewables in the UK ndash Historical development

Onshore wind and solar capacity grew

quickly under the Renewable Obligation

(RO) scheme but that is now closed

Since 2014 onshore wind and solar

have been excluded from the Contracts

for Difference (CfD) scheme

Therefore offshore wind looks set to

dominate capacity additions under

current policies

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

The UK wants to remain in the IEM while removing itself from climate

change targets and commitments

If this were to be agreed the UK would not have to commit to a share

of the EUrsquos recently agreed 2030 renewable target of 32

If there were to be no deal this would also lead to the government

dropping out of the EU renewable target

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 170

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

If this were to happen the impact on the UK would be minimal compared to current expectations

With no subsidies for onshore wind and solar future growth will come from subsidy-free projects

Funding of pound557m has already been agreed for additional CfD rounds which will lead to offshore wind growth

The impact on capture prices would prevent subsidy-free developments

A massive expansion of renewables would lead to price cannibalisation pushing capture prices lower

By 2030 offshore wind capture prices are forecast to be euro22MWh below the base case assumption

Such low capture prices would prevent subsidy-free development in the long-term and lock in huge subsidies for existing capacity

Coal and gas output in the UK - Historical

UK coal output has declined considerably since the CPS was introduced in

2013 (from 137TWh in 2012 to 21TWh in 2017)

Over the same period gas generation increased from 83TWh to 120TWh

Impact on power prices

Since fuel switch has already mostly taken place the impending carbon price rise

will have less impact on the UK than on other coal-dependent countries

As a result spreads to other EU markets will narrow

Conclusions

The biggest disrupter to the power market comes not from Brexit but from a

Labour government

This would likely lead to a rapid renewable expansion which would pressure prices lower

Under current policies renewable growth will be dominated by offshore wind in

the mid-term due to the absence of subsidies for onshore wind or solar

Despite an official coal phase-out date of October 2025 coal will be almost

completely pushed out of the mix from 2021

The UK looks set to increasingly rely on interconnectors as older thermal

capacity closes

EU as a whole is at risk to miss the 2020 target as the worst performers also are largest consumers

Statistical transfers can help fill the gap but will likely not be used for entire delta

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Long term contract between a party generating and selling electricity and a

party purchasing electricity Have existed for decades

Corporate PPA

Renewable Corporate PPA

Electricity traded between the two parties comes from a Renewable Energy

power plant PPAs are necessary to be in place prior to a RE asset

developer securing financing from a bank for their project Purchasers

are attracted by lower prices and the lsquogreen credentialsrsquo in having their power

supply come from 100 renewable sources RE Corporate PPAs are often

fixed for long periods up to 15 years to ensure revenue security for the

developer

Corporate PPAs enable businesses to source electricity from generators at

an agreed price while giving producers a reliable guaranteed buyer at a

stable price

copy EEX AG 2018

RE Corporate PPAs are quickly gaining in popularity

in Europe

Around 6 of new installed wind

power capacity in Europe in the

last 5 years is under PPAs

In Europe over 1GW of power was contracted

under PPAs in 2017 with 95 of this volume

coming from the Netherlands Norway

Sweden and the UK due to favourable policy

conditions

More PPAs in Germany and Europe are

expected once wind and solar assets start

coming off of subsidies in the next few

How do EEX Power Derivatives help to mitigate

PPA Price Risk

9

Since 29th May 2018 15 long-term hedges of calendar contracts up to 2024

have been registered OTC in Spanish Power with a total volume of 116 TWh

copy EEX AG 2018

Market participants who enter into long-term PPAs can register a strip of cash-

settled calendar futures out to Cal+6 for clearing with EEX

This means that sellers can lock in a secure cash flow for up to 6 years

for the sale of electricity in the respective market area

Buyers lock in a guaranteed price of purchase for up to 6 years providing

certainty on their future electricity price and protecting against upswings

Therefore the purchase or sale of derivatives provides long-term price risk hedging

together with counterparty risk mitigation through the ECC clearing house

Daily Settlement in Illiquid Contracts and Legacy

Trades

12

In illiquid long-dated contracts where there have been no order book trades

EEX uses two methods to determine settlement prices

Fair Value Providers ask chief traders from select members what their fair

values are for settlement

Market Structure take the daily price dynamic of the last liquid expiry and

Cal24 will increase by 30 euroct)

Legacy Trades are possible at EEX in order to ldquoroll overrdquo a long-term hedge

PPAs are an enabler of new Renewable Energy

Major energy players are already starting to hedge their

long-term price risk with standard EEX products

hellipbut the market is in need of more standardisation and

better risk management products in order to grow and

meet the EUrsquos ambitious targets

EEX will ensure we remain part of our Membersrsquo long-term

hedging strategy and explore opportunities to build new

Trend 4 Brexit

Power Markets

Link to internal energy markets at risk

As UK is highly dependent on electricity imports the continued functioning of the interconnectors are crucial

Long-term policies are defined independently of Brexit

Future of UK power market highly dependent on party manifestos

Carbon Markets

Creating sentiment effect in the last weeks

Short-term effects of hard Brexit selling by utilities and industrials

Long-term solution requires adjustment of the system

Both ambition levels for carbon reduction UK and EU should not be seriously affected

Mid-Term View

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 34

The fundamentalsThe MSR is increasing the pressure on compliance companies in the next years

Yearly supply is not enough

anymore to cover yearly demand

Compliance companies will be

forced to invest in reduction

measures or historic surplus needs

to come to market

First available are fuel switch from

coal to gas

Later on industrial abatement

The fundamentalsWhere would CO2 reductions come from

Biggest abatement pressure is on

power sector in the beginning

Fuel switch on short notice available

No additional investments necessary

Immediate economic impact

Once fuel switch capacity is utilized

industrial and power sector need to

invest to abate emissions

Especially in second half of phase 4

industrials will start abating emissions

One key bit needs to be taken into account the TNAC is not the available surplus

Due to the exclusion of EUA compliance by the aviation sector the TNAC is higher than the available surplus

Leads to overestimation of market surplus

Higher MSR outtake

In case aviation shortfall gt400 Mt lower threshold obsolete

Higher threshold nearly impossible to undercut

But CORSIA effect

We expect this to be changed and incorporate a TNAC equal to the surplus in our analysis from 2022 onwards

This will trigger significant emission

reductions in power and industry

Decreasing base emissions reduce

hedge demand significantly

MSR goes back to 12 and demand

decreases (lower base emissions)

Conclusion

Changing power sector dynamics could lead to significantly lower emissions

If we factor in the current trend towards coal phase-outs all over EuropeThe surplus increases more

The hedge demand reduces more

With lower power sector demand TNAC increases with current MSR parameters

According to our analysis the MSR will not be strong enough to mitigate the surplus built-up due to lower emissions

Less demand results in laxer market balance lower prices

Adjustment of MSR parameters an option to keep market tightness

Upcoming auctions in Italy

Italy is planning to auction 79 GW of capacity between January 2019 and May 2021

Of the total 56GW will be for solar and wind competing against one another

Winning bidders will be offered a CfD contract (like the UK model for RES support)

The latest draft of the decree sets a 70 euroMWh for wind and solar

The SEN was presented in November 2017 after a long consultation with more than 250 stakeholders

The SEN went beyond the RES EU target proposed by the EC but it now falls short of the new target

Great part of the rise is on the power sector with solar accounting for 24 of the electricity consumption and wind for 13

Government support Minimum price floors

Minimum price floors provide

some protection against worst

case scenario prices

However the price floor needs to

be high enough to improve

bankability but low enough to

protect the government from

paying large subsidies

Spain were set at very low levels

Conclusions

Subsidy-free projects are beginning to emerge in a number of EU member

states

However Spain and Italy could be the first EU countries to attempt to roll out

subsidy-free capacity at scale driven by comparatively higher power prices

Investor appetite for risk given market price uncertainty will remain the greatest

challenge going forward How many projects can get off the ground

The PPA market can help de-risk projects but it remains in a nascent stage

Continued reductions in LCOE will help improve the prospects for projects

Our forecasts suggest that profit margins will be best for early movers

Carbon price floor ndash Emissions

Under the base case assumptions power sector emissions would decline only

marginally through to 2029 before a big drop associated with coal phase-out in 2030

The carbon price floor would lead to a much more significant drop 2026-2030

However the emissions decline would be cancelled out by an increase elsewhere

Hambacher Forest ndash RWE impact

Muumlnster Higher Administrative Court ruled to halt forest clearance 5 Oct

Final decision to be reached in main proceedings likely end of 2020

Lignite mining possible until approx end 2019

But annual reduction expected from 40 Mt tobetween 25 and 30 Mt (2019-21)

RWE expects substantial short-term operational effects as of 2019

Power generation to decrease by between 9 and13 TWh

Affected plants are Neurath and Niederauszligem

This would translate to a reduction

of 138 Mt emissions in 2023

Conclusions

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 138

Coal phase-out across the EU

Coal and lignite have the second largest installed capacity in the EU

10 EU countries decided to phase out coal several more in

discussion

Phase-out will come in waves 2021-2022 2025 and 2030

Regardless of coal phase-out plans BREF will affect one third of

Europersquos coal-fired capacity

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 139

Capacity implications

Three very different policy approaches to coal

Netherlands Complete phase out by 2030 and (potentially) a carbon price floor

Germany Gradual reduction over the next ten years driven by government intervention

Poland Attempting to keep capacity online using the capacity mechanism to provide support

None of the three countries will phase out coal rapidly

In absence of policy decision Industrial Emissions DirectiveBREF will define the pathway

Generation implications ndash carbon price importance

Coal generation will fall in all three

countries regardless of the coal

capacity developments because of

the bullish EUA prices

As EUA prices soften from 2024

coal-fired output will rebound

The most significant increase will be

seen in Poland as the majority of

Power prices in all three markets will follow a similar pattern

2024-2030 Softening of EUA prices and increased RES output leads to lower prices

Dutch carbon price floor and complete phase-out to boost prices comparatively 2026-2030

Will the interconnectors stop flowing power

UK currently has three underwater cables connected to the EU ndash 2GW IFA with

France 1GW BritNed with Netherlands and 500MW East-West Interconnector

with Ireland

UK and EU papers make no mention of flows between the UK and EU halting

on 29 March 2019

National Grid 28 June 2018 ndash ldquoOur internal analysis backed up by two

separate external legal views has stated that there is no legal right for the

interconnectors to be simply ldquoswitched offrdquo post Brexitrdquo

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 151

What will the commercial arrangements be

UK will lose access to the single allocation platform for forward interconnection capacity European balancing platforms and the single day-ahead and intraday coupling

UKrsquos NEMOs ndash ie EPEX Spot and Nord Pool ndash will become third country operators and will no longer be able to carry out market coupling services between UK and EU

Option 1 - open to remaining in the EUrsquos internal energy market (IEM) This includes remaining part of the EUrsquos Emissions Trading System One caveat ldquoThe UK does not believe that participation in the IEM should require a common rulebook on wider environmental and climate change rulesrdquo

Option 2 ndash Leave the IEM and explore how interconnector trade continues without automatic capacity allocation National Grid has contingencies in place

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 152

Regulations and REMIT

UK market participants will have to

register with the regulatory authority

of the Member State in which they

are active

The registration form has to be

submitted prior to entering into a

transaction which is required to be

reported

ldquoThe UK is putting in place

arrangements so that when trading

after exit businesses will have

certainty that they will not face

substantially different requirements

compared to their current

obligations under the Regulation on

Wholesale Energy Market Integrity

and Transparency (REMIT)rdquo

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 153

If the UK leaves the IEM what happens

Positive for existing interconnectors Increased price divergence between UK

and continental markets possible without market coupling

Negative for interconnectors in development Investor confidence weakens

New projects already delayed

Will liquidity in wholesale market be affected

1) Brexit ndash UK installations and the short-term market impact

2) Long-term considerations for the EUA price

3) Beware of interactions

4) Future of the carbon price support

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 157

Short-term considerations

UK installations will exit the EU ETS on 29 March 2019

UK brought forward its compliance deadline to 15 March 2019

UK compliance is guaranteed for emissions year 2018

Depending on broad negotiations transition period could lead to Brexit

Carbon Price support ndash what does it actually mean

Future of UK carbon priceremains vague

In 2017 budget

Government total carbon price is set at the right level

In 2018 budget

The government will seek to reduce the CPS rate if the Total Carbon Price remains high

Carbon Emission tax level for2021 set at next budget

Conclusion

A no-deal scenario would have a moderate short-term bearish effect on EUA

prices

Fundamentally we talk about extra supply of between 100 to 130m allowances until29 March

Sentiment might weigh heavier

Long-term Brexit will in principle support carbon prices

Net length removed

But MSR to be very sensitive

Renewables in the UK ndash Historical development

Onshore wind and solar capacity grew

quickly under the Renewable Obligation

(RO) scheme but that is now closed

Since 2014 onshore wind and solar

have been excluded from the Contracts

for Difference (CfD) scheme

Therefore offshore wind looks set to

dominate capacity additions under

current policies

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

The UK wants to remain in the IEM while removing itself from climate

change targets and commitments

If this were to be agreed the UK would not have to commit to a share

of the EUrsquos recently agreed 2030 renewable target of 32

If there were to be no deal this would also lead to the government

dropping out of the EU renewable target

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 170

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

If this were to happen the impact on the UK would be minimal compared to current expectations

With no subsidies for onshore wind and solar future growth will come from subsidy-free projects

Funding of pound557m has already been agreed for additional CfD rounds which will lead to offshore wind growth

How would a Labour government impact renewables

While Brexit will not have a major impact on renewable development a Labour government certainly would

In October the Labour Party released plans to massively increase RES capacity by 2030

Offshore wind ndash 52GW (from 8GW currently

Onshore wind ndash 30GW (from 13GW currently)

Solar ndash 35GW (from 13GW currently)

The impact on capture prices would prevent subsidy-free developments

A massive expansion of renewables would lead to price cannibalisation pushing capture prices lower

By 2030 offshore wind capture prices are forecast to be euro22MWh below the base case assumption

Such low capture prices would prevent subsidy-free development in the long-term and lock in huge subsidies for existing capacity

Coal and gas output in the UK - Historical

UK coal output has declined considerably since the CPS was introduced in

2013 (from 137TWh in 2012 to 21TWh in 2017)

Over the same period gas generation increased from 83TWh to 120TWh

Conclusions

The biggest disrupter to the power market comes not from Brexit but from a

Labour government

This would likely lead to a rapid renewable expansion which would pressure prices lower

Under current policies renewable growth will be dominated by offshore wind in

the mid-term due to the absence of subsidies for onshore wind or solar

Despite an official coal phase-out date of October 2025 coal will be almost

completely pushed out of the mix from 2021

The UK looks set to increasingly rely on interconnectors as older thermal

capacity closes

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Long term contract between a party generating and selling electricity and a

party purchasing electricity Have existed for decades

Corporate PPA

Renewable Corporate PPA

Electricity traded between the two parties comes from a Renewable Energy

power plant PPAs are necessary to be in place prior to a RE asset

developer securing financing from a bank for their project Purchasers

are attracted by lower prices and the lsquogreen credentialsrsquo in having their power

supply come from 100 renewable sources RE Corporate PPAs are often

fixed for long periods up to 15 years to ensure revenue security for the

developer

Corporate PPAs enable businesses to source electricity from generators at

an agreed price while giving producers a reliable guaranteed buyer at a

stable price

RE Corporate PPAs are quickly gaining in popularity

in Europe

Around 6 of new installed wind

power capacity in Europe in the

last 5 years is under PPAs

In Europe over 1GW of power was contracted

under PPAs in 2017 with 95 of this volume

New hedging horizon to Cal+10

EEX members have been using Power Futures to hedge merchant risk from

conventional power plants for years

EEX is investigating listing further calendar expiries to support long-term

hedging of Renewable Energy assets

How do EEX Power Derivatives help to mitigate

PPA Price Risk

9

Since 29th May 2018 15 long-term hedges of calendar contracts up to 2024

have been registered OTC in Spanish Power with a total volume of 116 TWh

copy EEX AG 2018

Market participants who enter into long-term PPAs can register a strip of cash-

settled calendar futures out to Cal+6 for clearing with EEX

This means that sellers can lock in a secure cash flow for up to 6 years

for the sale of electricity in the respective market area

Buyers lock in a guaranteed price of purchase for up to 6 years providing

certainty on their future electricity price and protecting against upswings

Therefore the purchase or sale of derivatives provides long-term price risk hedging

together with counterparty risk mitigation through the ECC clearing house

Example Long-Term Hedge cleared on 12 July on

Spanish Power

10

A 50 MW strip from July 18 to Cal+6 was cleared in Spanish Power on 12 July

2018 with an initial margin requirement of 6543286 EUR

The Initial Margin percentage of the notional value of the trade was 466

The execution price of each trade was 4985 EUR

Long-term hedges cause volume spikes and contribute to Open Interest

Spanish Power now has the highest Open Interest in long-dated contracts

Daily Settlement in Illiquid Contracts and Legacy

Trades

12

In illiquid long-dated contracts where there have been no order book trades

EEX uses two methods to determine settlement prices

Fair Value Providers ask chief traders from select members what their fair

values are for settlement

Market Structure take the daily price dynamic of the last liquid expiry and

apply it to the illiquid expiries (ex Cal21 increases by 30 euroct then Cal22 ndash

Cal24 will increase by 30 euroct)

Legacy Trades are possible at EEX in order to ldquoroll overrdquo a long-term hedge

at the previously traded price once a new Cal is open

Prices which are out of range must be approved by the respective General

Clearing Member

Renewable Corporate PPAs are the dawn of a new

era in the Energy Transition

13

PPAs are an enabler of new Renewable Energy

developmentshellip

Major energy players are already starting to hedge their

long-term price risk with standard EEX products

hellipbut the market is in need of more standardisation and

better risk management products in order to grow and

meet the EUrsquos ambitious targets

EEX will ensure we remain part of our Membersrsquo long-term

hedging strategy and explore opportunities to build new

PPA-related products

Mid-Term View

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 34

The fundamentalsThe MSR is increasing the pressure on compliance companies in the next years

Yearly supply is not enough

anymore to cover yearly demand

Compliance companies will be

forced to invest in reduction

measures or historic surplus needs

to come to market

First available are fuel switch from

coal to gas

Later on industrial abatement

The fundamentalsWhere would CO2 reductions come from

Biggest abatement pressure is on

power sector in the beginning

Fuel switch on short notice available

No additional investments necessary

Immediate economic impact

Once fuel switch capacity is utilized

industrial and power sector need to

invest to abate emissions

Especially in second half of phase 4

industrials will start abating emissions

Conclusions

Only as of 2019 MSR intake leads to a significant scarcity on the market

In 2018 the increases are based on speculative buying and compliance

preparation for the MSR

Mid-term risks and opportunities

Hard Brexit

Clean spread development brown dark and spark spreads

Anticipation buying of compliance companies

Sell off triggered by one or few long players

Further behaviour of speculators

One key bit needs to be taken into account the TNAC is not the available surplus

Due to the exclusion of EUA compliance by the aviation sector the TNAC is higher than the available surplus

Leads to overestimation of market surplus

Higher MSR outtake

In case aviation shortfall gt400 Mt lower threshold obsolete

Higher threshold nearly impossible to undercut

But CORSIA effect

We expect this to be changed and incorporate a TNAC equal to the surplus in our analysis from 2022 onwards

This will trigger significant emission

reductions in power and industry

Decreasing base emissions reduce

hedge demand significantly

MSR goes back to 12 and demand

decreases (lower base emissions)

Triggered abatement increases TNAC

Conclusion

Changing power sector dynamics could lead to significantly lower emissions

If we factor in the current trend towards coal phase-outs all over EuropeThe surplus increases more

The hedge demand reduces more

With lower power sector demand TNAC increases with current MSR parameters

According to our analysis the MSR will not be strong enough to mitigate the surplus built-up due to lower emissions

Less demand results in laxer market balance lower prices

Adjustment of MSR parameters an option to keep market tightness

Upcoming auctions in Italy

Italy is planning to auction 79 GW of capacity between January 2019 and May 2021

Of the total 56GW will be for solar and wind competing against one another

Winning bidders will be offered a CfD contract (like the UK model for RES support)

The latest draft of the decree sets a 70 euroMWh for wind and solar

some protection against worst

Conclusions

Subsidy-free projects are beginning to emerge in a number of EU member

states

However Spain and Italy could be the first EU countries to attempt to roll out

subsidy-free capacity at scale driven by comparatively higher power prices

Investor appetite for risk given market price uncertainty will remain the greatest

challenge going forward How many projects can get off the ground

The PPA market can help de-risk projects but it remains in a nascent stage

Continued reductions in LCOE will help improve the prospects for projects

Our forecasts suggest that profit margins will be best for early movers

We anticipate that the carbon price floor would have no impact for the first five years after

implementation

From 2026-2030 the price floor would lead to a reduction in both coal and gas output

compared to the base case

Carbon price floor ndash net imports

Under the base case assumptions the Netherlands becomes a net exporter in 2023 and

maintains this position through to 2030

If the carbon price floor is introduced the Netherlands will revert back to a net importer status as

imports replace domestic coal amp gas generation

Carbon price floor ndash Emissions

Under the base case assumptions power sector emissions would decline only

marginally through to 2029 before a big drop associated with coal phase-out in 2030

The carbon price floor would lead to a much more significant drop 2026-2030

However the emissions decline would be cancelled out by an increase elsewhere

Final decision to be reached in main proceedings likely end of 2020

Lignite mining possible until approx end 2019

But annual reduction expected from 40 Mt tobetween 25 and 30 Mt (2019-21)

RWE expects substantial short-term operational effects as of 2019

Power generation to decrease by between 9 and13 TWh

Conclusions

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 138

Coal phase-out across the EU

Coal and lignite have the second largest installed capacity in the EU

10 EU countries decided to phase out coal several more in

discussion

Phase-out will come in waves 2021-2022 2025 and 2030

Regardless of coal phase-out plans BREF will affect one third of

Europersquos coal-fired capacity

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 139

Capacity implications

Three very different policy approaches to coal

Netherlands Complete phase out by 2030 and (potentially) a carbon price floor

Germany Gradual reduction over the next ten years driven by government intervention

Poland Attempting to keep capacity online using the capacity mechanism to provide support

None of the three countries will phase out coal rapidly

In absence of policy decision Industrial Emissions DirectiveBREF will define the pathway

countries regardless of the coal

capacity developments because of

the bullish EUA prices

As EUA prices soften from 2024

coal-fired output will rebound

Will the interconnectors stop flowing power

UK currently has three underwater cables connected to the EU ndash 2GW IFA with

France 1GW BritNed with Netherlands and 500MW East-West Interconnector

with Ireland

UK and EU papers make no mention of flows between the UK and EU halting

on 29 March 2019

National Grid 28 June 2018 ndash ldquoOur internal analysis backed up by two

separate external legal views has stated that there is no legal right for the

interconnectors to be simply ldquoswitched offrdquo post Brexitrdquo

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 151

What will the commercial arrangements be

UK will lose access to the single allocation platform for forward interconnection capacity European balancing platforms and the single day-ahead and intraday coupling

UKrsquos NEMOs ndash ie EPEX Spot and Nord Pool ndash will become third country operators and will no longer be able to carry out market coupling services between UK and EU

Option 1 - open to remaining in the EUrsquos internal energy market (IEM) This includes remaining part of the EUrsquos Emissions Trading System One caveat ldquoThe UK does not believe that participation in the IEM should require a common rulebook on wider environmental and climate change rulesrdquo

Option 2 ndash Leave the IEM and explore how interconnector trade continues without automatic capacity allocation National Grid has contingencies in place

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 152

Regulations and REMIT

UK market participants will have to

register with the regulatory authority

of the Member State in which they

are active

The registration form has to be

submitted prior to entering into a

transaction which is required to be

reported

ldquoThe UK is putting in place

arrangements so that when trading

after exit businesses will have

certainty that they will not face

substantially different requirements

compared to their current

obligations under the Regulation on

Wholesale Energy Market Integrity

and Transparency (REMIT)rdquo

What has the EU said What has the UK said

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 153

If the UK leaves the IEM what happens

Positive for existing interconnectors Increased price divergence between UK

and continental markets possible without market coupling

Negative for interconnectors in development Investor confidence weakens

New projects already delayed

Will liquidity in wholesale market be affected

Conclusion

A no-deal scenario would have a moderate short-term bearish effect on EUA

prices

Fundamentally we talk about extra supply of between 100 to 130m allowances until29 March

Sentiment might weigh heavier

Long-term Brexit will in principle support carbon prices

Renewables in the UK ndash Historical development

Onshore wind and solar capacity grew

quickly under the Renewable Obligation

(RO) scheme but that is now closed

Since 2014 onshore wind and solar

have been excluded from the Contracts

for Difference (CfD) scheme

Therefore offshore wind looks set to

dominate capacity additions under

current policies

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

The UK wants to remain in the IEM while removing itself from climate

change targets and commitments

If this were to be agreed the UK would not have to commit to a share

of the EUrsquos recently agreed 2030 renewable target of 32

If there were to be no deal this would also lead to the government

dropping out of the EU renewable target

copyright copy 2018 ICIS wwwiciscom 170

How will Brexit impact renewable targets

If this were to happen the impact on the UK would be minimal compared to current expectations

With no subsidies for onshore wind and solar future growth will come from subsidy-free projects

Funding of pound557m has already been agreed for additional CfD rounds which will lead to offshore wind growth

How would a Labour government impact renewables

While Brexit will not have a major impact on renewable development a Labour government certainly would

In October the Labour Party released plans to massively increase RES capacity by 2030

Offshore wind ndash 52GW (from 8GW currently

Onshore wind ndash 30GW (from 13GW currently)

Solar ndash 35GW (from 13GW currently)

The impact on capture prices would prevent subsidy-free developments

A massive expansion of renewables would lead to price cannibalisation pushing capture prices lower

By 2030 offshore wind capture prices are forecast to be euro22MWh below the base case assumption

Such low capture prices would prevent subsidy-free development in the long-term and lock in huge subsidies for existing capacity

Coal and gas output in the UK - Historical

UK coal output has declined considerably since the CPS was introduced in

2013 (from 137TWh in 2012 to 21TWh in 2017)

Over the same period gas generation increased from 83TWh to 120TWh

Conclusions

The biggest disrupter to the power market comes not from Brexit but from a

Labour government

This would likely lead to a rapid renewable expansion which would pressure prices lower

Under current policies renewable growth will be dominated by offshore wind in

the mid-term due to the absence of subsidies for onshore wind or solar

Despite an official coal phase-out date of October 2025 coal will be almost

completely pushed out of the mix from 2021

The UK looks set to increasingly rely on interconnectors as older thermal

capacity closes

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Long term contract between a party generating and selling electricity and a

party purchasing electricity Have existed for decades

Corporate PPA

Renewable Corporate PPA

Electricity traded between the two parties comes from a Renewable Energy

power plant PPAs are necessary to be in place prior to a RE asset

developer securing financing from a bank for their project Purchasers

are attracted by lower prices and the lsquogreen credentialsrsquo in having their power

supply come from 100 renewable sources RE Corporate PPAs are often

fixed for long periods up to 15 years to ensure revenue security for the

developer

Corporate PPAs enable businesses to source electricity from generators at

an agreed price while giving producers a reliable guaranteed buyer at a

stable price

copy EEX AG 2018

RE Corporate PPAs are quickly gaining in popularity

in Europe

4

Around 6 of new installed wind

power capacity in Europe in the

last 5 years is under PPAs

In Europe over 1GW of power was contracted

under PPAs in 2017 with 95 of this volume

coming from the Netherlands Norway

Sweden and the UK due to favourable policy

conditions

More PPAs in Germany and Europe are

expected once wind and solar assets start

coming off of subsidies in the next few

years

How do EEX Power Derivatives help to mitigate

PPA Price Risk

9

Since 29th May 2018 15 long-term hedges of calendar contracts up to 2024

have been registered OTC in Spanish Power with a total volume of 116 TWh

copy EEX AG 2018

Market participants who enter into long-term PPAs can register a strip of cash-

settled calendar futures out to Cal+6 for clearing with EEX

This means that sellers can lock in a secure cash flow for up to 6 years

for the sale of electricity in the respective market area

Buyers lock in a guaranteed price of purchase for up to 6 years providing

certainty on their future electricity price and protecting against upswings

Therefore the purchase or sale of derivatives provides long-term price risk hedging

together with counterparty risk mitigation through the ECC clearing house

Example Long-Term Hedge cleared on 12 July on

Spanish Power

2018 with an initial margin requirement of 6543286 EUR

Long-term hedges cause volume spikes and contribute to Open Interest

Spanish Power now has the highest Open Interest in long-dated contracts

Daily Settlement in Illiquid Contracts and Legacy

Trades

12

In illiquid long-dated contracts where there have been no order book trades

EEX uses two methods to determine settlement prices

Fair Value Providers ask chief traders from select members what their fair

values are for settlement

Market Structure take the daily price dynamic of the last liquid expiry and

apply it to the illiquid expiries (ex Cal21 increases by 30 euroct then Cal22 ndash

Cal24 will increase by 30 euroct)

Legacy Trades are possible at EEX in order to ldquoroll overrdquo a long-term hedge

at the previously traded price once a new Cal is open

Prices which are out of range must be approved by the respective General

Clearing Member

Renewable Corporate PPAs are the dawn of a new

era in the Energy Transition

13

PPAs are an enabler of new Renewable Energy

developmentshellip

Major energy players are already starting to hedge their

long-term price risk with standard EEX products

hellipbut the market is in need of more standardisation and

better risk management products in order to grow and

meet the EUrsquos ambitious targets

EEX will ensure we remain part of our Membersrsquo long-term

hedging strategy and explore opportunities to build new

PPA-related products
