East Africa Geothermal Energy Facility GRMF East Africa Donors - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

East Africa Geothermal Energy Facility GRMF East Africa Donors’ Coordination and Collaboration Meeting – 14 June 2016

What is EAGER? • Funde ded d by DFI FID • Regional Technical Assistance programme running for 3.5 years from May 2015 • GBP 6 million and covering 5 countries (Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda) • Seeks to cover gaps in Government role to support geothermal development by removing barriers and speeding progress No duplication with other donors o

Key Attributes of EAGER • Flexibility xibility o Lookin ooking g at cur urren ent t issues ues not ot covere ered d by ot othe hers o Qu Quick k respon sponse, , wher here e possibl ssible • Large ge Pool l of Exper pertise tise o Able e to draw w on a wide de range ge of exper pertise tise: • Geoth otherma ermal techni nical cal; ; legal; ; re regulator ory; ; finance; ce; busin sines ess s stra rategy; egy; electrici ctricity ty markets ts and power plannin ing; g; tariffs fs and PPAs o Focus cus on deci cisi sion on sup uppor ort t and remo moving ving barrier iers s to progre ress ss o Repor orts on internat ernational ional exper perience ience

Market Risks for Geothermal • To date the general assumption has been that there will always be demand for any additional power generation in East Africa • But this is changing…. • Over the period of a geothermal development starting today a number of countries may move to having a surplus in generation at some times or in some years • There will be competition for baseload generation • Large scale intermittent renewables change the marketplace

Typical Daily Load Profile Peaking Load Following Baseload

Competition for Baseload • Geoth ther ermal mal • Combin mbined ed Cycle le Gas Turbin bine • Coal l fired ed generation ration • Int ntermi ermitt tten ent t rene newable ables s – seasonal sonal or daily ly o Run un of river r hydr dro, o, wind nd • Intermi ermitt tten ent t renewables ables displac placing ing other er baseload load in the day because of “must run” priority: o Run un of river r hydr dro, o, wind, nd, solar ar • Expor porter ers s of ba baseload eload

What Will Happen as the Baseload Market Gets Crowded? 1. Econom 1. onomic ic de despa patch ch rules es should ld app pply, but: o May be overridd rridden n by PPA term rms o Go Govern ernmen ment t polic icy y decisions sions may alloc ocat ate e losses ses 2. “Take or pay” and “must run” IPPs will be paid to 2. swit itch ch off: o Power r purchase hase costs ts will l exceed eed PPA A prices es o Who will l carry y the stran randed ded costs? ts?

This Raises Significant Questions for Geothermal Development Projects, Whether Public or Private S ector… • Where here will geo eoth therm ermal l sit in econ onomic mic despatch spatch rul ules, es, com ompare red d with h run un-of of river r hydr dro, , wind, nd, even en solar ar? • How w will Governm ernment ent policy cy maker ers s respon pond? d? • Will com ompe petit ition ion for baseloa eload d sque ueeze eze prices es down? wn? • How w can geo eoth therm ermal l developers elopers influen ence ce the e mark rket? t? • What t will the e mark rket t look ok like e by the e time me a geoth thermal rmal project ect reaches ches comm mmiss ssionin ioning? g? Will ll demand emand rise e to meet t sup upply? • Could uld this s imp mpact act on off-tak taker r viability ility? • What t sort t of PPA A will be best st in the e fut uture? ure?

Can Geothermal Operate as Load Following rather than Baseload? • Longer term the load following market should become more valuable Peaking • Flexible generation has to compensate for Load Following intermittent renewables Baseload • Demand will always have uncertainty

Will Regional Markets Provide an Answer? • Most countr untrie ies see eem to expe pect t to sel ell rather er than buy in in the e reg egio ional mark rkets ets • Most see eem to wan ant to sel ell bas asel eload oad ap apar art from om da day ahea ead d balancin ing g trade des • Buy uyer ers s ar are m e more re lik ikel ely y long nger er ter erm to wan ant pe peak akin ing g and l d load d foll llowi wing g po power er • The dai e daily pe peak do does es vary y in in t tim ime e across oss the e reg egio ion, but ut en enoug ugh to cover er bas asel eload oad ope perat ation ion?

Geothermal Position – is this reflected in market prices? • Despat patchab hable le • Local l commun munit ity y benefits its • Relia liable ble • Direct ect use options ions • Low operat rating ing costs ts • No energy gy price ce volati atility lity o Com ompe petit itive e once ce capital tal • Can offer r ancillar llary y servic vices es reco covered ered • No emission ssions • Insurance urance against nst drought ght risk sk • PPA A struct ructure ure may y lead to • Exploration ploration cost t and risk sk to non-despa despatc tch cover o e.g. g. st stea eam m su supply y treat ated ed as s • High gh capex x to cover an avoida idable ble energy nergy charge rge

Power Purchase Risks and Negotiation Buyers will become more precise ise as to their r needs: • o Ov Overa rall cost and ri risk k will become more re important ant than n lowest st price ce • Flexib ibility ility will have a premium, ium, and therefore ore the load followi wing ng mark rket et will become attractiv ractive but also more re competitiv etitive Ancil illar lary y servic ices s will have a clear value • • The optimal mal allocation tion of risks ks betwee etween n buyers and d sellers will chang nge, e, but how? • EAGER has prepared “Guidance for a Geothermal Specific PPA” whic ich h starts ts to cover some of these points nts (availab ailable upon n re request) t)
