OffshOre #2 | The Magazine a sOlId fInancIal basIs The offshore industry in Germany can rely on a high feed-in tariff and a stable political framework. The amended Renewable <strong>Energy</strong> Sources Act (EEG), which came into force in Germany on 1 January 2009, increased the feed-in tariff for offshore wind power. The act ensures that all turbines put into service before 1 January 2016 receive 15 euro cents per kWh of windgenerated electricity. This rate is valid for a period of 12 years for all turbines. To promote the construction of wind farms that need to be built even further offshore and in even deeper waters, the basic feedin tariff is supplemented by an extension of the period of payment. Turbines located more than 12 nautical miles from the coast in waters at least 20 metres deep benefit from an extension of half a month’s payment for every full nautical mile additional distance from shore, and an extension of 1.7 months for every additional metre of water depth. For example, a wind turbine sited 30 nautical miles from the nearest shore in water 40 metres deep receives a feed-in tariff of 15 euro cents per kWh for 18.7 years. Hence the payment period for most German offshore wind farms is in the region of 20 years, which puts them on an equal footing with the onshore wind industry. The tariff per kWh falls by five percent per year starting from 2015. 32 Alongside the calculable, fixed feed-in tariff, a second line of support in Germany is provided by an act to accelerate infrastructure planning. This Infrastructure Planning Acceleration Act enshrines in law that the power grid operators transpower stromübertragungs gmbh (former E.ON Netz) for the North Sea and Vattenfall Europe Baltic Offshore Grid GmbH (VE BOG) for the Baltic are to construct the power grid for the offshore wind farms at the request of the wind farm operators – so-called power points at sea. As a result, operators should save between one-fifth to one-third of total investment costs. Basic remuneration 12 * 12 = 144 months Distance supplement (30 sm -12 sm) * 0.5 = 9 months Depth supplement (40 m -20 m) * 1.7 = 34 months 187 / 15.6 months / years Period in which feed-in tariff is paid for an offshore wind turbine 30 nautical miles from the coast in waters 40 metres deep
EEG rules after 1 January 2009 § 31 Offshore wind energy (1) For electricity from offshore turbines the feed-in tariff is 3.5 euro cents per kilowatt hour (basic rate). (2) In the first twelve years from the time the turbine is first put into operation the feed-in tariff shall be 13.0 euro cents per kilowatt hour (initial rate). For turbines that are first put into operation before 1 January 2016, the initial payment as per sentence 1 increases by 2.0 euro cents per kilowatt hour. The period in which the initial rate is paid as per sentences 1 and 2 shall be extended for electricity from turbines which are erected at a distance of at least twelve nautical miles and in a water depth of at least 20 metres for each full nautical mile in excess of twelve nautical miles by 0.5 months and for each additional full metre of water depth by 1.7 months. (Paragraph (3) excludes offshore wind turbines in nature and landscape conservation areas from the feed-in tariff.) REETEC – Inspired by the wind!
