Annual Report 2010 - Enel.com

The “Metodología para la determinación de los cargos
correspondientes a los servicios de transmisión que preste
la CFE a los generadores renovables” was also approved.
This document sets the transmission services rates for
2010, to be revised annually. The high and medium-voltage
rate was set at $2.20/MWh and the low-voltage rate
at $4.30/MWh. These rates cover use of the infrastructure,
losses, services connected with transmission and a fixed
component for contract administration. The new methodology
provides an incentive for eligible renewable projects
in an amount that varies based on the voltage level.

Renewable energy support law
On February 12, 2010, the first auction for the sale of energy
from renewable resources was held under the law to
promote renewable energy resources (Legislative Decree
1002 of May 2008).
The tender, which is run by the regulator OSINERG-
MIN (Organismo Supervisor de la Inversión en Energía y
Minería), ended with the selection of a total capacity of
around 410 MW, for which it awarded 20-year contracts
to supply electricity to the SEIN (Sistema Eléctrico Interconectado
Nacional) at a rate equal to the price resulting
from the auction for each project (denominated in US dollars/MWh).
The capacity was assigned as follows:
> 161 MW to 17 hydroelectric projects, with bids of between
$50 and $70/MWh;
> 142 MW to three wind projects, with bids of between
$65 and $87/MWh;
> 80 MW to four photovoltaic projects, with remuneration
of between $215 and $225/MWh;
> 27 MW to two biomass projects, with bids of between
$52 and $110/MWh.
Since the capacity to be allocated in 2010 was set at 500
MW, the difference between that capacity and the amount
awarded on February 12 will be allocated in a new auction
scheduled for July 23, 2010. That auction will be dedicated
to generation from biomass (419 GWh), photovoltaic
(8 GWh) and hydroelectric (no more than 338 MW).
On July 23, 2010, the second auction of renewables generation
capacity for 2010 was held (500 MW total, 410
MW of which already awarded on February 12, 2010).

68 Enel Annual Report 2010 Report on operations
Renewable energy support law
In December 2009, with Measure 1479/2009, the government
issued rules for implementing Law 220/2008
for supporting power generation from renewable energy
resources. The government decision establishes that the
introduction of the incentive mechanisms (quantitative
requirement for electricity suppliers and a system of transferable
certificates, which can be traded bilaterally or on a
dedicated market) shall be subject to the approval of the
European Commission. On July 9, 2010 an amended version
of Law 220/2008 was published in the official journal
(Law 139/2010). The main changes with respect to the
previous legislation include:
> the mandatory percentage of annual electricity output
that must be generated from renewables will rise gradually
from 8.3% in 2010 to 20% in 2020;
> the penalty for suppliers who do not have the required
amount of green certificates has been increased from
€70 to €110 per certificate not held;
> the penalty and the minimum and maximum prices of
certificates will be indexed to the EU-27 inflation rate;
> two green certificates per MWh of wind output until
2017 (one certificate thereafter);
> six green certificates per MWh of photovoltaic output.
A government decision will establish the rules governing
the trading of excess green certificates. Following
the pre-notification of the European Commission of Law
220/2008, the DG Competition recommended proceeding
with a formal notification. The initiation of the formal
notification process will be handled by Romania’s Ministry
of the Economy and will include the amendments presented
in the new law (139/2010).
National renewable energy action plan (Directive
2009/28/EC)
The renewable energy action plan, submitted to the European
Commission, sets a target of about 42.6% for the
contribution of renewable resources to final gross electricity
consumption.
