›  EEG plant operators usually receive technology-based guaranteed payments for electricity from
the transmission system operator for the next 20 years (injection priority)
›  Transmission system operators bring the EEG electricity to the market (Day-Ahead or Intraday)
›  Difference between revenue and costs (injection interest rates, merchandising, balancing
deviations) is allocated to electricity consumers
›  A national EEG-charge per kWh is computed

Field of Activity: Renewable Energies
›  Context
›  Often higher investment-cost and levelised-cost of energy compared to
conventional technologies
›  Subsidies and non-cost-recovery tariffs for fossil fuels distort renewable energies’
market potential
›  Partly unpredictable RE-production requires smart-grids and system
management
›  Approach and Contribution of FC
›  Explore RE-potential in developing countries (feasibility studies)
›  Create enabling framework for the use of RE (grids, storage, meters, controllers,
etc.)
›  Adapt RE-technology to developing countries
(solar home systems etc.)
›  Support RE-flagship project
›  Expand RE on a broader scale (larger programmes)

Important issues
● Policy matters: clear market rules and regulations (strong institutions,
PPAs, support mechanisms, etc.) including licensing and approval
mechanisms are needed
● Professional project preparation is required: site selection; resource
measurements, land acquisition, feasibility studies, social and
environmental studies, licenses, … Some regions have a severe lack of
well prepared and meaningful projects. Early stage project development is a
continues task / issue for all players in the market (risk of drying-up the
pipeline starts well at the beginning, upstream).
● Risk mitigation is needed for risks during planning, construction &
operation phase, cost-increases, timing-risks, debt-service and interest
coverage. The bankability of PPA continue to play a key for commercial as
well as development banks.
