Renewable Energy - Characteristics n Secured Cash Flow for a specific tenor n Mix

Renewable Energy - Characteristics n Secured Cash Flow for a specific tenor n Mix of immovable and moveable assets n Technically complex; technical development ongoing n Expensive Source of energy; only realizable through subsidies n Esp. CEE – Markets are quite immature (developers, operators, legislators etc. show lack of experience) n High dependency on local project development and/or general contractors n Time pressure, as actual tariffs are mostly valid only for one year 9

Renewable Energy in Czech Republic has standard EU market energy prices n Energy is mostly produced by coal and nuclear power plants n The Act on support of production of electricity from renewable sources with the aim of 8% share on total Energy consumption by the end 2010 was introduced in March 2005 , in 2010 this indicative aim reached 8, 32% n Feed-in tariff in Czech republic is guaranteed for 15 years from the date of the connection to the network n Enormous increase of installed capacity of Solar Power Plant led to termination of support of the new Solar Power Plant Projects commencing in year 2011 and implication of withholding tax 26% ((return on investment dropped down to 7 years for Investors instead of predicted 15 years ) valid for 3 years on Solar Power Plant connected in years 2009 and 2010). n The Energy Action Plan for Czech Republic 2020 was issued 2010 with aim to reach 13, 5% share on total energy consumption the production from renewable sources, this plan defines measures to be taken to reach the aim. Solar Power Plants are not supported any longer (apart the roof installations up to 30 k. Wp, however other types of Renewable Energy production (Water, Wind, Biogas, Biomass…) are to be supported continuously in the up-coming years 20
