18. THE GEYSERS
• CAPACITY: 1517 MW
• GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

19. ENERGY MIX

20. RENEWABLE ENERGY POLICY
RENEWABLE ENERGY POLICY OF USA
• DRIVEN BY SUPPLY SECURITY CONCERNS ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL
AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITY
• PRODUCTION TAX CREDIT (PTC) AND INVESTMENT TAX CREDIT
(ITC) : KEY FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
• STATE LEVEL RPS (RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO STANDARD) FOR
UTILITIES : KEY POLICY COMPONENT
• VOLUMETRIC EXCISE TAX CREDITS (VETC) FOR ADDRESSING THE
PRODUCTION AND USE OF LIQUID BIOFUELS

21. RENEWABLE ENERGY POLICY
RENEWABLE ENERGY POLICY OF FRANCE
• NATIONAL TARGET IS TO INCREASE THE SHARE OF RENEWABLES IN FINAL
CONSUMPTION TO 23 PERCENT BY 2020.
• FRAMEWORK PROGRAM: GRENELLE DE L’ENVIRONNEMENT: CAPACITY
TARGETS FOR ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION FROM RENEWABLE ENERGIES IN
2020: 25,000 MW OF WIND, 6,000 MW OF WHICH IS OFFSHORE; 5,400 MW OF
SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC; 2,300 MW OF BIOMASS; AND 3,000 MW OF
HYDROELECTRIC FOR PEAK PERIODS.
• IMPLEMENTATION OF A SOLAR PLAN, AS FROM 2000, THROUGH TAX CREDIT
(RAISED TO 50 PERCENT)
• AN “ALL RENEWABLE” BUDGET FOR THE CONSUMER
• MORE THAN 85 PERCENT OF ELECTRICITY GENERATION IS CO2-
FREE(NUCLEAR POWER)

22. RENEWABLE ENERGY POLICY
RENEWABLE ENERGY POLICY OF RUSSIA
• REDUCING THE ANTHROPOGENIC IMPACT ON CLIMATE CHANGE
WHILE MEETING GROWING ENERGY DEMAND;
• THE RATIONAL USE OF AVAILABLE FOSSIL FUELS;
• MAINTAINING THE HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE POPULATION;
REDUCING GOVERNMENT HEALTH EXPENDITURE;
• REDUCING THE RATE OF INCREASE IN THE COSTS OF ELECTRICITY
TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION AND RELATED
• ELECTRICITY LOSSES; DIVERSIFYING THE COUNTRY’S FUEL AND ENERGY MIX;
• ENHANCING SECURITY OF ENERGY SUPPLY THROUGH DECENTRALIZATION

24. RISK FACTORS
MAJOR RISK FACTOR ANALYSIS
USA
• TOTAL INVESTMENT IN RENEWABLE POWER AND FUELS ROSE 17 PERCENT IN
2011 TO $257 BILLION, A SIX-FOLD INCREASE OVER THE 2004 FIGURE AND
NEARLY DOUBLE THE 2007 LEVEL(UNEP ESTIMATION)
• RENEWABLE SOURCES ACCOUNTED FOR ALMOST HALF THE ESTIMATED 208
GIGAWATTS OF ELECTRIC CAPACITY ADDED WORLDWIDE IN 2011, AND
SUPPLIED AN ESTIMATED 20.3 PERCENT OF GLOBAL ELECTRICITY.
• RENEWABLE INVESTMENT SURGED 57 PERCENT TO $51 BILLION IN 2011,
UNEP ESTIMATES.

25. RISK FACTORS
FRANCE
• NUCLEAR DECOMMISSIONING IS NOT BE ACTIVELY PLANNED
• NEED COMPLETE REMOVAL OF THERMAL POWER: THE OBJECTIVE OF BEING AT 100%
RENEWABLE ENERGY IN FRANCE BY 2020.
• HYDRAULIC CAPACITY: 29 GW (+3 GW BY 2020). THE WATER ACT MAY IMPOSE
RESTRICTIONS.
• HYDRAULIC OR HYDRO POWER: EXPENSIVE TO BUILD, PLANTS HAVE A LONG PAY-BACK
PERIOD.
• HYDRAULIC OR HYDRO POWER :EFFECT OF FLOODING AGRICULTURAL LAND,
DISPLACEMENT OF POPULATIONS AND ALTERATIONS IN LOCAL ECOSYSTEMS.
• THERMAL ENERGY CONVERSION: HEAT MAY DISRUPT THE ECOSYSTEM AND CREATE
RISKS OF MICRO-SEISMIC ACTIVITY.
• BIOMASS : EXTENSIVE USE OF WOOD CAN CAUSE DEFORESTATION.

26. RISK FACTORS
RUSSIA
• DECREE NO. 449 AMENDS THE WHOLESALE MARKET RULES BY EXEMPTING
RENEWABLE ENERGY :MAJOR CHALLENGE.
• OBSTACLE FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY INVESTORS ARISES FROM THE
“ATTESTATION” OF RENEWABLE ENERGY INSTALLATIONS
• CAPACITY SUPPLY BY VARIABLE RENEWABLE ENERGY INSTALLATIONS:
ASSESSMENT OF AVAILABILITY TO PRODUCE
• LINK BETWEEN LOCAL CONTENT CLASSIFICATION AND REMUNERATION, THIS
REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF REGULATORY UNCERTAINTY FOR
INVESTORS.
