2 Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 A A a Vision Possible offshore development januar

3 Statnetts mission towards To build the next generation high voltage power grid Today's grid with regional Our strategic actions and An integrated Norwegian 420kV challenges investments on short term power grid Gidd Grid development tto improve Security of supply, new Increased renevable production security of supply and utilization renewables and increased Increased interconnector capacity of national resources exchange with our neighbors and a more integrated power market

4 Offshore wind areas for possible development Areas km from connection points will normally use AC Floating windparks Fixed windparks Areas more than km offshore will normally use DC

5 Planned interconnectors SydVest-link Cable to South of Sweden NSN Cable to England NorNed 2 Cable to the Netherlands Skagerak 4 Cable to Denmark NORD.LINK Cable to Germany NorGer Cable to Germany 1/24/2011 5

6 ENTSO-E: a trans-european network Fully operational since July 2009 Represents 41 TSOs from 34 countries 525 million citizens served 828 GW generation 305,000 Km of transition lines managed by the TSOs 3,400 TWh/year demand 400 TWh/year exchanges Replaces former TSO organisations: ATSOI, BALTSO, RTSO, NORDEL, UCTE, UKTSOA European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity

7 ENTSO-E The structure

8 ENTSO-E: The System Development Committee (SDC)

9 Upcoming ENTSO-E Conference Towards electricity infrastructure for a carbon neutral Europe Brussels, February 2011 More information and registration at: Confirmed speakers include: Tamas FELLEGI, Minister for Energy, Hungarian Presidency Günther OETTINGER, EU Energy Commissioner Connie HEDEGAARD, EU Climate Action Commissioner Claude TURMES MEP, MEP, ITRE Member Arthouros ZERVOS, President, EWEA, EREC and CEO, Public Power Corp Alberto POTOTSCHNIG, Director, ACER Heinz HILBRECHT, Director, Security of Supply, Energy Markets & Networks, EC Daniel DOBBENI, ENTSO-E E President and CEO, ELIA

10 EU - Energy Infrastructure Package In the electricity sector four EU priority corridors are identified: An offshore grid in the Northern Seas and connection to Northern and Central Europe to transport power produced by offshore wind parks to consumers in big cities and to store power in the hydro electric power plants in the Alps and the Nordic countries. Interconnections in South Western Europe to transport power generated from wind, solar, hydro to the rest of the continent. Connections in Central Eastern und South Eastern Europe, strengthening th the regional network. Integration of the Baltic Energy Market into the European market.

11 North Seas Countries Offshore Grid Initiative

12 North Sea Countries Offshore Grid Initiative set by MoU signed by ENTSO E MINISTERS COMMISSION ERGEG Steering Committee Programme Board Working Group 1 Working Group 2 Working Group 3 Head NL - DK Grid configuration and integration Head UK - IRL Market and regulatory issues Head FR - GE Planning and authorization

13 NSCOGI support European Commissioner for Energy Günther Oettinger welcomed the agreement. "The offshore grid idin the North thsea and dits connection to northern and central leurope has been identified as one of the priorities in matters of electricity," he said in a statement. "It is very encouraging to observe that today EU member states and Norway are taking this significant step ahead by signing g the Memorandum of Understanding," he added. Daniel Dobbeni, president of the Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) E), described the initiative as "a significant step in the direction of regional cooperation with a shared vision, concrete objectives and an ambitious, but also pragmatic action plan". "It is based on a common understanding on the potential of the renewable energy sources of the North Seas in contributing to the EU Energy Policy goals," he stated, adding that ENTSO-E would be signing a letter of intent to collaborate on the project.

14 Time line WG : * baseline study * analysis on grid conditions * progress report : costs & benefits : case study report WG : 06: : 12 * identification of market/regulatory barriers * progress report proposals for equitably shared cost/benefits : * proposals common regulatory approach to anticipatory investment * proposals to address market/regulatory barriers * Proposals market mechnaisms WG : progress report to coordinators : common procedural guidelines as recommendation

15 Offshore grid is technically feasible, but Multi terminal VSC HVDC has not yet been delivered Only one contractor with a fixed (jacket) offshore project in operation DC breakers need development High losses in VSC AC/DC converters Deliveries from different suppliers have to interact in the same grid Technical operation of onshore grid very demanding with more interconnectors

16 Offshore grid regulatory challenges Different framework in different countries Developer prioritize areas with the most profitable solutions Some regulators do not allow direct energy flow from national renewable power plants directly to another nation Protectionist development every nation and supplier eager for own industry development Different set of rules for grid connection Grid development onshore caused by offshore wind who pays? 16

17 Norway has large amount of resources from renewable energy and a flexible hydro power system well suited for supply balancing services to Europe and hereby reduce the CO 2 emission i competence on subsea cables and are willing to build

18 Offshore power grid - some reflections Focus for the time being is national targets Modular development from national development in the southern part of the North Sea Different technical standards d and markets at both ends of the interconnectors Electrification of oil and gas installations may contribute to development of an offshore power grid on Norwegian shelf Offshore wind may be a driver if the society is willing to pay the price, subsidies included

19 The Dutch lose faith in windmills Karel Beckman and Alexander Haje The new Dutch right-wing government has announced a radical overhaul of Dutch energy policy. It is cutting subsidies for most forms of renewable energy drastically, and is even putting an end to all subsidies for offshore wind, solar power and largescale biomass. It has also announced a warm welcome for new nuclear power stations the first time a Dutch government has done so since the Chernobyl-disaster in However, not all is lost for the renewable energy sector: the cabinet is still brooding on a long-term strategy and a Green Deal that might yet put the Netherlands back on a greener course

20 Main message Not very likely that we will have an international offshore grid before 2020 Will slowly emerge from national development Offshore grid are technically feasible but very demanding Complicated structures with many countries involved standardization and harmonization is needed Offshore TSOs not nominated in several countries The value of flexible Norwegian hydropower for balancing and storage will increase with more interconnectors Statnett works actively through ENTSO-E related to interconnectors, a possible future offshore grid and European market development Offshore grid will become a reality when the drivers are strong enough 24. januar
