2. National Plan Electricity supply (1)  Plan (NPES) sets environmental and spatial conditions for electricity supply  Developed by national government  Electricity sector  5 private regional electricity supply companies  co-operation of electricity supply companies on behalf of regional electricity supply companies

3. National Plan Electricity supply (2) Electricity Act 1989 National plan electricity supply SEA Electricity supply plan (2yr) Construction power plant EIA

4. National plan Electricity supply (3) Nat. Plan Electricity supply Decisions: Location power plant > 500MW Suitability of locations for certain fuel types Maximum capacity per fuel type, excluding nuclear power plant SEA Decisions: Mandatory... Voluntary Generation technology De-centralised electricity generation, wind energy Routing of power lines

5. National Plan Electricity Production (4) Plan Procedure: draft decision Cabinet (public) consultation Cabinet Decision approval by Parliament SEA procedure Starting note (public) consultation/ scoping advice Preparation SEA publication SEA consultation/review motivation

6. National Plan Electricity Supply (5) Alternatives in SEA 24 potential sites compared 6 fuel alternatives, combining High/low demand scenario Coal-gas: 50-50, 33-67 % Traditional coal technology vs coal gasification

7. National Plan Electricity Supply (6) Site comparison: Availability cooling water and sensitivity of water for thermal pollution and additives Other impacts on water quality Impact of transport and storage

9. National Plan Electricity Supply (7) Site comparison Compatibility with land use plans, impact natural and visual landscape Noise External safety, radiation risk Qualitative scores

10. National Plan Electricity Supply (8) Fuel alternatives (comparison): Emission of Nox, SO2 and acidification Emission or storage of CO2 Emission of dust and gaseous emission of Cl, F, Ba, Se, Hg

11. National Plan Electricity Supply (9) Fuel alternatives Production of solid wastes and their disposal Radiation Depletion of non renewable energy sources Quantitative scores

12. National Plan Electricity Supply (10) Public participation Written comments on starting document Written comments on SEA and the preliminary core decision Public hearings in both steps Reactions mainly from relevant stakeholders and not from general public

13. National Plan Electricity Supply (11) Decision makers: SEA useful Decisions 18 sites suitable for electricity generation for each site: suitable fuel In 2010 only 33% generated with coal with maximum of 6000 MW New power plants should use coal gasification
