European Solar Thermal Industry Federation
� ESTIF: Common ST voice in Europe– Direct representation, lobbying and input to European institutions on
policies, legislation, funding programmes
� ESTIF: the meeting point of our industry
– Networking opportunities with key partners in the European arena
ESTIF: providing data & keeping members informed
4
� ESTIF: providing data & keeping members informed
– Expertise in standardisation, certification and technical regulations
– Market data and intelligence
– ESTIF communication activities, events, publications
� ESTIF: training & supporting ST players
– Information and training on EU & national regulations and policies
• The EU policy framework for RES-H&C

for solar heat for industrial process
Solar Thermal support schemes
Subsidy: AT, BE, CZ, EE, FI, FR, DE, EL, IE, LU, MT, PL, RO, SK, SL, GB
Tax exemptions: BE, CZ, DK, FR, EL, IE, IT, NL, SE
8
Price-based: GB, IT, LT
Loans: BE, BG, FR, DE, EL, IT, NL, SL, GB
Spain: GIT (Grandes Instalaciones Térmicas)The maximum funding per project is 80% of the value of the eligibleinvestment (the intended thermal generation), with an absolute minimum of250,000 and maximum of € 3,000,000 € per project (5 ml for ESCOs)
UK: Non-Domestic RHI (1 GWth but 93% biomass, 3.2% Solar Thermal..)
Solar Process Heat support schemes
9
UK: Non-Domestic RHI (1 GWth but 93% biomass, 3.2% Solar Thermal..)provides financial incentives to increase the uptake of renewable heat. Forthe non-domestic sector it provides a subsidy based on the heat output ofthe system, payable for 20 years, to eligible, non-domestic renewable heatgenerators.
Netherlands: Energy Investment Allowance41.5% of tax deduction of eligible investment costs
Germany:- Market Rebate Programme: process heat subsidy: 140 EUR/m2 gross collector area.
Incentives for innovative designs. Performance based incentive requires Solar Keymark.- Market Incentive programme: investment grants for heat provision <100m2
- KfW-Programme: Renewable Energies – Premium: enterprises can gain investment grant oran interest subsidy for large scale technical plants with demonstration character.
France:- Fonds Chaleur: ADEME supports RES heat production projects in production companies. Itcovers solar thermal plants for hot water production and 350kWh minimum per m2.
10 Rue d'Arlon 63-67 • B-1040 Bruxelles • Belgium • Email: [email protected] • Web: www.estif.org
covers solar thermal plants for hot water production and 350kWh minimum per m2.- Project call "Grandes installations solaires thermiques" >300m2, subsidy range 45% to 65%
Austria: - Environmental Assistance Programme (UFI): installations >100m2, environment-related investment costs minimum € 10,000 + minimum of 4 t CO2 savings- Kommunalkredit for Klima+Energie Fonds subsidises the realisation of large solar thermalplants, funding is between 40 to 50% of total costs for solar thermal plants between 100 m² and2,000 m²
Solar Thermal support schemes in Italy
Subsidy: Conto termico <1000m2
Tax exemption: 65% of investment for max. 60.000 EUR over ten years
11
over ten years
Loans: Fondo Kyoto
Regional support schemes: Wallonia case
Aide à l'investissement (support scheme + tax rebate)
Premium to the investment with exemption from property tax, for SMEsand larger firms carrying out an investment program contributing tosustainable development.
12
sustainable development.
Eligible investment costs at least € 25,000
SMEs: max 50 % of the investments costs - total amount of the subsidy cannot exceed € 1.5 million over 4 years
Large companies: max 20 % of the investments costs
Regional support schemes: Extremadura case
Grants to finance tourism and agro industrial companies in the area of Extremadura
- SMEs in agro industrial and tourism sectors can apply
13
- SMEs in agro industrial and tourism sectors can apply
- The subsidy consists of a grant of 5% of interest calculated on the
first two years under the terms of a loan arranged.
- Minimum eligible investment 10.000 EUR, max 100.000
- Maximum repayment term of 10 years
- Low temperature
Main weaknesses:
- Bureaucratic procedures (Conto Termico)
- Bad designs (Fondo Kyoto) or implementation- Delays in implementation (RHI), stop-and-go policies (Italian tax
rebate)- Unclear targets. Few support schemes focused on SHIP, most
target all RES-H&C, or all industrial process heat.
14
target all RES-H&C, or all industrial process heat.
- Small scale installations prevail when in same scheme- SHIP suffers from competition of other RES (ex. biomass in RHI)
- Information is lacking- Governments prefer instruments delaying payments (tax
exemptions) not tools supporting up-front investment cost
Demonstration Deployment
EU level National level
15
- Different typologies of support schemes needed for different market phases (demonstration vs deployment)
- Different typologies of support schemes come from different governance levels
Key success factors for support schemes
- Continuity, predictability and stability
- Contribution of different stakeholders
- Quality and performance assurance
16
- Monitoring and evaluation transparency
- Clear targets
- Adequate financial resources
• EU support and incentives
17
• EU support and incentives
- EU funds going to regional programmes (ex. Wallonia): ERDF, EAFRD (12-20% earmarked for low carbon economy)
- Specific programmes (Euromed, Jessica, etc.)
18
- R&D funds: Horizon2020
- Ultra-large deployment: EIB and EFSI (aggregation?)
- Smart Financing Initiative - 2016
19
• What next? What can be done?
20
Future challenges:
- EU legislation review
- 2030 framework
- Electrification and other RES competition
21
- Electrification and other RES competition
- Changing nature of support schemes
- Going from demonstration to deployment
� Aggregate
� Disseminate
– Establish trust
– Inform about existing options
What can we do?
22
� Aggregate
– Reach critical mass
– Exploit success
stories/sectors
� Lobby
– Improve legislation
– Access funds, projects
