Hogere stroomprijs goed voor Vattenfall

Gepubliceerd op 7 feb 2019 om 08:44 | Views: 804

STOCKHOLM (AFN) - De Zweedse energieproducent Vattenfall heeft in het voorbije jaar meer omzet behaald. Het moederbedrijf van Nuon in Nederland, dat binnenkort ook verdergaat onder de naam Vattenfall, profiteerde onder meer van hogere prijzen in Nederland en Scandinavië.

Vattenfall deed ook goede zaken in Duitsland waar veel nieuwe klanten werden binnengehaald. De totale omzet steeg met 16 procent tot 157 miljard Zweedse kroon. Dat is omgerekend zo'n 15 miljard euro. Onder de streep hield het energieconcern 12 miljard kroon over, tegenover een verlies van 9,5 miljard kroon een jaar eerder. Dat kwam door een belastingmeevaller en door een herwaardering van Zweedse bezittingen.

De investeringen in energienetten stegen in 2018 naar een recordniveau. Dat zal dit jaar beperkt worden door strengere regels in Zweden. De onderliggende winst liep terug. Dat kwam onder meer door de hogere prijzen voor kolen, gas en CO2-emissierechten.

Transmission Company of Nigeria raises USD 1.62 billion for power transmission

Punch Ng reported that Transmission Company of Nigeria said that it had raised a total of USD 1.623 billion for power transmission projects across the country. The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, TCN, Mr Usman Mohammed, who disclosed this in Lagos at the inauguration of a substation in Ilashe, said the distribution aspect of the power value chain needed to be fixed. He said that “Under the honourable Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, we deployed what we call transmission rehabilitation and expansion programme, under which we have raised USD 1.623 billion; this is the highest money that has ever been raised by the power sector. In Lagos, we have upgraded several substations and inaugurated several transformers.

He added that “It would also interest you to know that before the appointment of the minister, most contracts that were awarded in transmission were not awarded to be completed; the contracts were awarded to make people rich. This is the first time we are making contracts to be completed.”

He said the payment of compensation for the contract awarded for Omotosho-Epe lines was not done.

Mr Mohammed said that “It was when he (Fashola) took over that we started the process of payment of the compensation. I can tell you that those two lines are going to be completed and they will stabilise the supply to Lagos. The Lagos-Ogun transmission project also has been completed. We have done the design; we have completed everything. The only thing that was stalling the project was the compensation for the right of way; it was too high. We are collaborating with the Ogun State government and Lagos State government and we are at the final stage of reducing the compensation, and we will pay it. Then we will now have four 330kV substations between Lagos and Ogun, and two 130kV substations.”

He added that “I want to use this occasion to thank the honourable minister and the President for all the support they have given us, and to tell Nigerians that generation has been fixed, and transmission also; even where we have problems, we are fixing them. The only thing that is remaining is distribution.”

He said that “We have to understand that the privatisation that the minister inherited, I am bold to tell you that there is no part of the world that privatisation has been done like that. There is a problem. But when you inherited a problem, what do you do? You try to solve the problem. It is not right for us to reverse because when you reverse it, we are going to be seen as being against the private sector. We will take steps to ensure that distribution is fixed.”

Construction of a new high voltage and high capacity (2 GW) transmission line in Brazil

Voltalia an international player in renewable energies, has started the construction of a second transmission line, 50 km long and with a voltage of 500 kV, in order to connect new projects for a total capacity of 2 GW in the Serra Branca duster.

Mr Sebastien Clerc CEO of Voltalia said that "This new infrastructure confirms the scaling up potential of our Serra Branca cluster. Power transmission facilities are instrumental to our strategy in Brazil. They enable us to build plants where the wind resource is best and allow anticipated commissioning of plants. Thus, they raise the value of projects developed by Voltalia, should they ultimately be owned by the Group or sold to partners. With this new project, the total length of high-voltage transmission lines owned by Voltalia in Brazil crosses the 100 km mark. When added to our 800 km of medium-voltage lines, it is enough to connect Paris to Berlin.”

Voltalia has started to build the transmission facilities, including a substation and a 500 kV very high-voltage transmission line, which will run through vast uninhabited areas to connect the cluster to the national grid, 50 km to the South.'

The transmission facilities are strategically positioned within the expansion area of the Serra Branca cluster.

They are tailored to the needs of existing and future projects; some projects are owned by Voltalia, such as the VSM 1 (163 MW) and VSM 2 (128 MW) power plants currently under construction, and some others are sold to partners, including the 252 MW already sold to international renewables investor Actis in 2018.

Development of the transmission facilities was initiated in-house by Voltalia teams, which also rely on local partners to build the facility. Construction costs will be shared with Voltalia's partners in the cluster, which will also benefit from the infrastructure.

Commissioning of the transmission facilities is expected to be completed by the end of 2019. After supervising construction, Voltalia will also be in charge of O&M activities, leveraging local teams already mobilized on its wind farms.

2018 was a challenging year for Vattenfall

Vattenfall's 2018 profit increased by SEK 2.5 billion to SEK 12 billion. The increase is greatly due to corporate tax reductions in Sweden and re-evaluation of shares in the Nuclear Waste Fund to fair value. The Board of Directors proposes a dividend to the owner, the Swedish state, of SEK 2 billion. The underlying operating profit for the year dropped, however, by SEK 3.3 billion to SEK 19.9 billion. Mr Magnus Hall, Vattenfall CEO and President said that "It has been an interesting and challenging year. We have had good generation in our nuclear and hydro power operations but the high electricity prices have not had the corresponding impact on our numbers. This is because of the hedging we do to ensure price stability over time. Last year, they provided a good profit, but not this year. We also have a lower profit in our heat operations due to high fuel and CO2 prices. This was partially balanced by a profit increase in our Wind operations.”

Power Generation generated well
Electricity generation in the Nordics remained strong in 2018 and the nuclear operations set a generation record of 55 TWh. Hydro power generated 36 TWh, in the same level as 2017. But previous hedging entailed that the underlying operating profit for the Power Generation segment dropped by SEK 1.4 billion to SEK 9.4 billion.

Continued challenges for the heat business
For the heat operations, 2018 meant significantly raised costs for fuel and emission allowances, which contributed to a decrease in the underlying operating profit: SEK 0.8 billion as compared to SEK 3.4 billion the year before.

Mr Hall said that "A portion of this decrease is due to one-off effects in 2017 which had a positive effect on that year, but the big difference is that we have not been able to compensate for the increased costs. We now have a lot of work ahead of us to continue to enhance efficiency and to reduce exposure to emissions costs. In Berlin, for example, we have achieved our target of halving carbon dioxide emissions by 2020 already three years in advance, and in Uppsala we are investing SEK 3.5 billion in new plants.”

Onward for wind energy
Wind energy made vital progress in 2018 in which higher electricity prices and increased capacity led to an increase in profit by SEK 1.6 billion to SEK 3.7 billion. A decision was taken during the fourth quarter to invest in the Danish offshore wind farm Kriegers Flak with a capacity of 605 MW.

In 2018, Vattenfall invested SEK 8.2 billion in wind energy and other renewable generation, an increase of 46 per cent compared to the previous year. Another SEK 24 billion will be invested in 2019 and 2020 in new wind capacity, corresponding to 75 per cent of Vattenfall's total budget for growth investments.

Sales increased
Sales of electricity and gas increased on most markets and the customer base increased by 1.9 per cent to 8.9 billion contracts. The InCharge charging network is steadily growing and reached 10,500 charging points during the year. The underlying operating profit for Customers & Solutions decreased, however, by SEK 600 million to SEK 1.3 billion, greatly due to investments in growth.

Large investments in electricity grids
In Distribution, investments in the electricity grid increased by over 20 per cent in Sweden. However, new legislation will lead to that Vattenfall decreases its future investments.

Ms Anna Borg said that "It is a cumbersome situation for us because we want to, and need to, invest in network upgrades, not only to enable the connection of all new renewable capacity, but also to construct the infrastructure that will be needed to meet growing urban needs. The new regulation of Sweden's electricity grid tariffs makes this difficult. For us, it means we need to lower our investment ambitions.”

Just after the New Year, the storm Alfrida caused great damage in Sweden. At most, 63,000 of Vattenfall's customers were without power. Restoration work will continue for much of the year.

Ms Hall said that "A special thank you goes to all those involved in the great efforts to help our customers through a difficult situation.”

Vattenfall's electricity grid company in Berlin signed a contract during the year for charging infrastructure as the city undertakes to replace its 1,400 diesel buses with electrical buses.

The underlying operating profit for Distribution increased by SEK 200 million to SEK 6.3 billion in 2018.

The savings programme continues
To increase efficiency, Vattenfall is conducting a programme for saving SEK 2 billion by 2020 in staff and support functions. This project has progressed according to plan and by the end of the year, staff was reduced by 400 full-time equivalents.

Share of Indian clean energy can go up to 45pct by 2030 - TERI

Economic Times reported that India has the potential to increase its share of non-fossil fuel (zero carbon) sources of energy in the country’s total electricity supply mix from 35% in 2018 to 45% by 2030 despite doubling of its consumption in over next 10 years, said the environment and energy think-tank TERI in its technical reports on overall renewable energy scenario.

The projection is, in fact, 5% more than what India had pledged as part of its climate action plans under the Paris Agreement in 2015 - a scenario which may see no new coal-fired power plant will be built in India beyond 2025-27.

India under its Paris pledges committed to increase its share of non-fossil fuel (solar, wind, hydro, biomass and nuclear) in the total installed capacity of electricity generation from 30% in 2015 to about 40% by 2030.

The reports, released on sidelines of the World Sustainable Development Summit also project that the cost of wind and solar will be INR 2.3 - 2.6 per KWh and INR 1.9 - 2.3 per KWh respectively by 2030 while the cost of storage will fall by 70%.

Mr Ajay Mathur, director general of TERI said that “By contrast, we project the tariffs of new coal-fired electricity to rise due to above-inflation increase in coal transport costs and increase in coal plant capital costs to improve efficiencies and reduce local pollution.”

The reports, accordingly, project that the electricity from new non-pithead coal could be as expensive at INR 6.98 per KWh while cheaper pithead coal would be INR 4.85 per KWh by 2030 - more than double the cost of solar.

GE wins most 2018 gas turbine orders

General Electric Co booked the most orders for electricity-generating gas turbines in 2018 but fell to second place for the largest and most advanced machines, behind Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, according to a closely watched report seen by Reuters and people familiar with the matter. Demand for gas turbines has been tumbling since 2011, stoking fierce competition for deals and prompting manufacturers to slash jobs and close factories. GE is in the midst of a multi-year restructuring of its power business, which lost USD 808 million last year.

The latest rankings show Mitsubishi won 41 per cent of the orders last year for turbines that can produce 100 megawatts or more, compared with 28 per cent for GE and 25 per cent for Siemens AG, according to McCoy Power Reports data.

Among newest-generation turbines, known as "post F-class," MHPS got 49 per cent of orders, compared with 34 per cent for GE and 16 per cent for Siemens, the data shows.

Orders for the most advanced turbines have dwindled along with the entire market, even though they churn out the most electricity per unit of fuel burned. GE suffered a high-profile breakdown with one of its advanced turbines in Texas last year, and warned it may spend $480 million on repairs for the global fleet.

The rankings show GE dominated orders for older-technology F-class turbines and that it had an overall tally of 33 per cent of orders by capacity, compared with 31 per cent for MHPS and 26 per cent for Siemens.

GE is "proud to the leader ... as it has been every year since 2010," spokeswoman Kirstin Carvell said. Siemens did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Mitsubishi said in a statement that its ranking largely reflected orders for its new J-Series turbine, which the company said has greater than 64 per cent efficiency and 99.5 per cent reliability.

Kenya-Tanzania power interconnection project construction kicks off

Construction of the Kenya-Tanzania Power Interconnection Project commenced which will see 510 KM 400 kv transmission line constructed from Singida to Isinya with various substations in between. The project is financed by loans from Japanese International Cooperation Agency and Africa Development Bank which will see USD 258.82 million pumped into the project implemented by Tanzania Electric Supply Company.

Contractors have divided the project into several phases with Tanzania committing to construct the 510 KM double-circuit, overhead transmission from Singida through Bahati, Namanga, Arusha and finally Isinya in Kenya.

Tanesco senior manager Emmanuel Manirabona says phase one of the project will be from Singida to Bahati and will be constructed by Indian firm Kalpataru Power while in phase two 400kv transmission line from Bahati to Arusha will be constructed by Bouygues Energies & Services of France as they chase the 2020 completion deadline of the project.

On the other part Kenya will construct transmission lines to Ethiopia while Tanzania extends to Zambia as they seek to connect the entire East African countries to facilitate easy buying and selling of electricity.

Reduced operational and production costs
The two countries will enjoy reduced operational and production costs as construction of 5 modern sub-stations will ensure smooth sharing of power and also replace over dependence on thermal energy with hydropower.

TenneT bouwt nieuw hoogspanningsstation in Eemshaven voor transport windenergie

Hoogspanningsnetbeheerder (TSO) TenneT is begonnen met het versterken van het elektriciteitsnet in Eemshaven voor transport van windstroom. Gronings gedeputeerde Nienke Homan gaf het startsein voor de bouw van een compleet nieuw 110-kilovolt-hoogspanningsstation Eemshaven Midden.

Dit hoogspanningsstation wordt met een 7 kilometer lange ondergrondse kabelverbinding verbonden met het (bestaande) hoogspanningsstation Eemshaven-Robbenplaat voor aansluiting op het regionale en landelijke elektriciteitsnet.Het nieuwe hoogspanningsstation is noodzakelijk voor het transport van duurzame stroom op en rond de Eemshaven. De komende jaren komen er steeds meer windmolens in het gebied, waarmee de behoefte aan transportcapaciteit sterk toeneemt.

In Groningen Seaports (red. de havens van Eemshaven en Delfzijl) staat al 8.000 aan productievermogen voor elektriciteit of wordt er aan land gebracht via het Gemini-windpark, de NorNed-kabel tussen Nederland en Noorwegen en vanaf 2019 de COBRA-kabel tussen Nederland en Denemarken.

De Eemshaven heeft de grootste concentratie van hoogspanningsstations in Nederland. Met het in 2019 in gebruik te nemen converterstation voor de onderzeese COBRA-kabel is Eemshaven Midden er het tiende hoogspanningsstation van TenneT. TenneT bouwt samen met Enexis Netbeheer aan de toekomst van een betrouwbare elektriciteitsinfrastructuur in Groningen. De plannen van TenneT voor een nieuwe stroomsnelweg (380-kilovolt-verbinding) die Eemshaven verbindt met hoogspanningsstation Vierverlaten nabij Groningen zijn vergevorderd. Deze verbinding komt in de plaats van de huidige 220-kilovolt-verbinding. Het is de bedoeling dat de 380-kilovolt-verbinding in 2022 in bedrijf is.

De eerste grondwerkzaamheden voor het 110-kilovolt-hoogspanningsstation zijn eind 2018 al begonnen. Vanaf 8 februari wordt de vloer van het station gestort waarna het terrein verder ingericht kan worden en installaties kunnen worden geplaatst. Een ondergrondse 110-kilovolt-kabelverbinding van 2 circuits over 7 kilometer lengte in de berm van de Kwelderweg verbindt het station met het bestaande 110/220-kilovolt-hoogspanningsstation Robbenplaat. De capaciteit van dit hoogspanningsstation wordt uitgebreid voor de plaatsing van 2 nieuwe 110/220-kilovolt-transformatoren en het realiseren van 2 nieuwe transformatorvelden. Omexom is als onderaannemer van TenneT actief om het nieuwe 110-kilovolt-hoogspanningsstation te bouwen. Stations en verbinding zijn eind dit jaar klaar.

26 European islands launch clean energy transition

26 European islands have officially launched their clean energy transition with the support of the European Commission’s Clean Energy for EU Islands Secretariat. In a first phase, 6 islands, the Aran Islands (Ireland) Cres-Lošinj (Croatia), Sifnos (Greece), Culatra (Portugal), Salina (Italy) and La Palma (Spain) will develop and publish their clean energy transition agendas by summer 2019. The other 20 islands will do so by summer 2020. These islands are:

Hvar, Croatia
Bra?, Croatia
Kor?ula, Croatia
Kökar, Finland
Marie-Galante, France
New Caledonia, France
Crete, Greece
Samos, Greece
Cape Clear, Ireland
Favignana, Italy
Pantelleria, Italy
Azores, Portugal
Ibiza, Spain
Mallorca, Spain
Menorca, Spain
A Illa de Arousa, Spain
Gotland, Sweden
Öland, Sweden
Orkney, UK
Scottish Islands, UK

Dominique Ristori, Director-General for Energy at the European Commission, said that the 26 islands selected display a remarkable potential and enthusiasm for developing strong and lasting multi-stakeholder collaborations around the clean energy transition. By embarking on this path, not only will they become more energy self-reliant and prosperous, but also provide inspiring examples for other islands and Europe as a whole. This in turn will help the EU achieve its ambitious climate and energy targets.

There are more than 2200 inhabited islands in the EU. Despite having an abundance of renewable sources of energy, such as wind, solar and wave energy, many of them currently depend on expensive fossil fuel imports for their energy supply. The clean energy transition can help islands not only become more self-sufficient and prosperous, but also unlock new employment opportunities in their communities.

The objective of the Clean Energy for EU Islands Secretariat is to help as many European islands as possible embark on and advance their clean energy transition in a way that includes the whole island and its stakeholders. Based on experience with successful transition processes, the key to success is to involve all levels of governance of the islands - citizens, municipalities, local businesses, universities and schools – as well as relevant stakeholders from the mainland and bring them on board to actively support and shape their own transition.

Croatian MEP Tonino Picula said that “Islands are becoming more and more visible on the European agenda. The support for 26 islands throughout the Union is an important step in making island communities torchbearers in clean energy transition. This is a first, but an important, step in securing permanent EU assistance to islands. Congratulations to everyone!
The 26 islands were selected based on their potential for establishing a high-quality transition process with the support of the Secretariat. In order to serve as inspiring examples for as many European islands as possible over the coming years, special attention was paid to including islands covering a broad variety of geographic and contextual conditions.
