ENERGY CONTEXT OF THE CANARIAN ARCHIPELAGOENERGY CONTEXT OF THE CANARIAN ARCHIPELAGO

Total external energy dependenceConstant (significant) increase of energy demandElectricity generation based on fossil fuels (oil), relatively small power stations)(5) insular electrical systems, very difficult to interconnect (volcanic origin of theislands)Low heating energy demand, decentralized heat production

Total population: 2 Millions (+ approx. 250.000 equiv. permanently living tourists= 12 Million per year!!))7 islands with different dimensions and features (total area: 7.500 km2)Significant economic development in the last 15 years, GDP based on tertiarysector (tourism)

Socioeconomic considerationsSocioeconomic considerations

Historical lack of water resources and big experience in the search of artificial water production systems (desalination market began in the 60’s) - Importanceof the water-energy binomialImportant weight of the transport sector

Renewable EnergiesRenewable EnergiesExcellent potentials (particularly wind and sun), but still low contribution to theenergy balanceStill lack of information, at all levels, about energy saving technologies, demandmanagement and REVery favourable normative framework for RE deployment (National Royal Decree436/2004 and future Building Technical Code)Existence of qualified research groups and technology centres with know-how in this field

ENERGY CONTEXT OF THE CANARIAN ARCHIPELAGOENERGY CONTEXT OF THE CANARIAN ARCHIPELAGO

Recent entry in force of national legislation concerning insular andextrapeninsular eletrical systems, and entry of the system operator (Red Eléctrica de España)Will to diversify energy sources (combined cycle power plants already installed, waiting for LNG introduction)

Objectives related to energy saving, environmental protection and RE promotionObjectives related to energy saving, environmental protection and RE promotion

Reduction of CO2emissions

•Introduction of natural gas in order to partially replace oil use

- The necessary installations will be available in 2007 for Gran Canaria and in 2009 for Tenerife

Reduction energyintensity andpromotion of energysaving andcogeneration

•Dissemination campaigns and actions aimed at reducing energy consumptionin public buildings, trasnport, housings and public lighting

•Incentives to cogeneration by means of a stability guarantee of the fuel purchase price

Increase of RE contribution

•Measures in order to achieve 800 MW wind power in 2012

•Flexible financing program for solar thermal systems (275.000 m2 in 2012)

•Program for promotion of Solar PV in public buildings of the Canary IslandsRegional Government (1 MWp/year in the short term)
