The RPA Renewables Routemap RPA\Events\030520GlobePraseg 14 How to get there Action in four areas: Renewables Obligation Transition for emerging technologies Eliminating barriers, creating incentives Energy markets and regulation

The RPA Renewables Routemap RPA\Events\030520GlobePraseg 15 Renewables Obligation Maximise investor confidence: Rolling quota Review: terms of reference & timing Increase quota above target Raise quota for any eligibility change Include: qualifying EfW increased hydro capacity by refurbishment coal mine methane

The RPA Renewables Routemap RPA\Events\030520GlobePraseg 16 Transitional measures Interim support for near term technologies; e.g: Renewable Investment Certificates, or Fixed price power contracts, or Multiple ROC allocation RD&D support longer term at higher level Biomass Use of set-aside land Break the energy crop ‘Catch 22’

The RPA Renewables Routemap RPA\Events\030520GlobePraseg 17 Barriers and incentives Streamline planning Renewables in Building Regulations Transmission infrastructure Regulated connection costs Incentives for embedded micro- generation, where too small for RO

The RPA Renewables Routemap RPA\Events\030520GlobePraseg 18 Energy markets Emission trading to “level the playing field” Carbon price to reflect full sequestration cost Emissions caps to reduce to zero Fully cost decommissioning and waste in nuclear power prices Plan transition from R O to E T S Add sustainability to Ofgem’s primary objective
