The document discusses power supply and demand in the Philippines, specifically addressing the projected shortage in 2012 and whether building additional renewable and fossil fuel power plants could meet demand without operating the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP). It finds that indicated capacity additions from geothermal, hydro, natural gas and other renewable sources could close the projected 2012 supply gap. It also notes that reopening the BNPP would impose significant direct and indirect costs on consumers through a proposed nuclear tax and costs of decommissioning and waste disposal that would be passed on to customers. Operating the BNPP may no longer be necessary given the ability of alternative energy sources to meet projected demand as well as the economic impacts of the global financial crisis in slowing electricity
Renewable and low carbon energy capacity study for the East of Englandcrifcambs
This document provides a summary of a study on renewable and low carbon energy capacity in the East of England region. The study aimed to assess the region's potential to contribute to national renewable energy targets and identify opportunities at the local level. Key findings included that the total estimated energy resource potential is 260% of predicted 2020 demand, but realistic potential is estimated at around 10% after accounting for constraints. Opportunity maps were produced to identify priority areas for different renewable technologies like onshore wind and energy from waste. Next steps discussed disseminating the results to local authorities and exploring project feasibility and delivery through local workshops and engagement.
Israel is developing solar power to improve energy security as it can no longer rely on neighbors for oil and gas. It plans to have 1,480MW of solar capacity by end of 2014. The new solar quota will award tariffs quarterly adjusted based on inflation, exchange rates, and the Bloomberg New Energy Finance solar equipment cost index to avoid overpaying as costs decline. However, developers oppose immediate tariff cuts and complex permitting has delayed many projects.

Bunaken Island | Nov-15 | Renewable and island energy activitiesSmart Villages
By Rizki Asikin
Off-grid electrification for development of small islands represents a number of unique challenges under the broad category of rural electrification. Small, off-grid island communities are particularly vulnerable to diesel price fluctuations and natural disasters, and thus, enhancing resilience through more sustainable and cheaper energy technologies should be a key priority. Financing the transition to these technologies – usually photovoltaic, micro-hydro or sometimes wind – is an essential hurdle to overcome. Once electricity systems are in place it is equally important that they are sustained in the longer term with effective arrangements for operation and maintenance, cost recovery etc. Related to this, is the productive use of the energy provided to increase islander incomes.
The workshop on Bunaken Island, Sulawesi, Indonesia from 3 to 5 November 2015, organised by the Smart Villages Initiative in collaboration with Kopernik, will explore these issues and develop recommendations for policy makers, development agencies and other stakeholders in energy provision to island communities.

Ireland faces challenges meeting its 2020 EU targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing renewable energy. Continuing on the current baseline projections would require significant investment in wind power and incur high costs. Instead, focusing first on reducing energy consumption and emissions from transport through supply chain management could help meet emission targets at lower cost. Investing in biomass from short rotation forestry to replace peat in existing power stations would further reduce costs while creating rural jobs, compared to installing more wind turbines. With the right strategy emphasizing energy efficiency and biomass over wind, Ireland can comply with EU targets at much lower overall expense.

No to BNPP Revival Power Issues
1. Power Plays
Electric Power and the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant
The projected shortage in 2012 can be addressed by building
geothermal, hydro power, natural gas, wind, and solar power
plants even without the operation of the nuclear plant in Bataan if
only government builds the necessary indicative capacity
additions and develop and upgrade exisiting power plants. We
discuss the historical background of the power industry in the
Philippines in relation to the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant and
address the reasons raised by the proposed bill in Congress as
to the need for building the Plant. We further point out the
immediate impact of the proposed bill on electric power rates.
2. Power Shortage?
Quoting figures from the various updates of the
2012 GAP
Philippine Energy Plan from the DOE on their (1495 mw)
website, the projected shortage in 2012 can be
addressed by building geothermal, hydro power,
natural gas, wind, solar and coal plants even
without the operation of the nuclear plant in
Bataan if only government builds the necessary
indicative capacity additions and develop and
upgrade exisiting power plants.

(EPIRA)
10. Direct cost to people: nuclear tax
The proposed bill would pass on the cost of the BNPP to ordinary
consumers as a nuclear tax of P 0.10 per kilowatt hour for the total
electric power generated in the country.
According to Section 22 of the Bill
− “SEC. 22. Alternative Sources of Funding. – The State may raise equity through a
surcharge of PhP0.10/kWH of the total electric power generated in the country:
Provided, That such collection of surcharge shall not exceed five (5) years from the
date of its initial imposition. The funds collected shall be reimbursed to the electric
consumers after such time that the BNPP shall commence commercial operations.
The time frame for such reimbursement shall not exceed three (3) years. The State is
also authorized to enter into international or domestic loan agreements to fund the
implementation of this Act: Provided, That the total funds raised from the surcharge
and the loan combined shall not exceed US$1 billion.”
De-facto nuclear tax of
10 centavos per kWh
11. Direct cost to people: nuclear tax
According to figures from the , the total electric power
sales in 2007 is 48,009 GigaWatt hours
(1,000,000,000 or billion watt-hour) or 48,009 million
kilowatt hours.
4 billion pesos per year or 100 M USD per year
For five years, the total would be 20 billion pesos.
For household of 300 kwh per month, you would
have to pay an additional of 30 pesos (no VAT yet)
per month or a total of 1800 pesos for five years.
PhP 20 B for five years =
PhP 1800 per 300 kwh user
(DOE website)
12. More loans and more costs
The remaining 500 Million USD balance from
the projected one billion dollar cost is to be
obtained by entering into international or
domestic loan agreements.
Delays and interest repayments can drive this
higher and become a new burden for the
Filipino people.

13. Decomissioning costs
• P 15.35 B for 30 years of operation set aside for
decomissioning (0.002 USD/kWh) = 326 M
USD
• Cleanup of Three Mile Island costs: TMI Dec 93
= 975 M USD
• Decommissioning costs in the US: $325 million
per reactor all-up (1998 $), France 480 million
euro (70MW), UK 32 MW power plant 117 M
EUR, 100MW power plant, cost about 90 M
Kulang ang itinatabi para sa decomissioning
14. Waste disposal costs
• P 7.67 B for 30 years of operation set aside for
decomissioning (0.001 USD/kWh) = 163 M
USD
• These costs (decomissioning and waste
disposal) shall be passed on to us by
NAPOCOR or the concerned government
agency
• Total addon cost: 0.003 USD = 0.1413 PHP
Kulang ang itinatabi para sa disposal
15. Total costs to be passed on to us?
NPC either will absorb decomissioning costs or add it to
our generation rate
For a 300 kWh household total for first 5 years
P 20B for five years = P 1800 pesos
P 7.67 B for 30 years disposal cost (first 5 years) = P 847
P 15.35 B for 30 years decomissioning (first 5 years) = P 1696
First five years = Additional of 4343 pesos
Or equivalent to additional 72 pesos per month!
Remaining costs to be collected throughout the lifetime
of the plant: 42 pesos per month

16. Global Financial Crisis
The projected peak demand for 2012 should be
recomputed to include the effects of the global
economic crisis and recession.
There should be a second look at the growth
projections used in the simulation for the 2012
targets due to the global economic crisis that is
expected to foster GDP growth in 2009 to be only
half or even less than in 2007 which would be
the slowest since at least 2001. We need not rush
and nor make “IMMEDIATE” the reopening the
nuclear plant.

19. Stable supply = lower rates?
Having a stable or even a
surplus of electricity capacity
does not necessarily
translate to lower energy
costs. In recent years when
we had an energy
oversupply, power rates
have still gone up due to Surplus and yet electricity
one-sided contracts and the prices is around 8.75 pesos per
kWh!! (included are VAT, IPP
pass-on provisions of contract costs, systems losses,
etc; to be included NPC stranded

20. Other sources can also provide
baseload power.
Nuclear plants are said to be able to supply
baseload power as opposed to renewable
energy, which can supply only a fraction of the
energy demand. We need to develop and
expand geothermal to supply baseload capacity
in our energy mix as well as funding and
developing energy-storage solutions that can
compensate for the disadvantages of wind and
solar power.
