Centrum of Energy Alternatives

• CEAs target is to efective influence the
  developement in RES sector to meet following
  criteria

• Energy relevance
• Economical
• Enviromental

CEA members environmental organisations, RES
developers, independent experts

GENERAL PARAMETERS

• Possibilities in Slovakia

• Locations with average wind speeds over 6.5 m/s
  in HH
• Stabile Grid with capacity for wind power around
  1GW
• Current tariff 9 euro c per 1 kWh
• Expected installation till 2015 650 MW

BARRIERS

• Political
• No political relevant subject supporting wind
  energy
• Strategy of Energy Security targets blocking
  develpements in wind energy
• Administrative
• Strategy of Energy Security targets blocking
  develpements in wind energy
• EIA procedures , requireing up to 5 years of
  research in fields like influece of earth cables
  on microorganisms etc.
• General Construction and building permit
  situation
• Economical
• Tariff guarantee only 1 year, maximal 5 years
• No existing track record experience

BARRIERS ON THE SIDE OF DEVELOPERS

• Economical
• Developement companies in SK are not conected
  teuropean companies and operate with limited
  budgets
• Underfinanced developement leads to overexceeding
  of future operationg costs
• Professional
• Limited experience with wind park operations
• Most of developement works started 2 years ago
• Market acces strategy
• Focus on maximizing the size of park and number
  of projects currently officialy requested grid
  acces over 4000 MW - PAPER TIGERS

MAPS
Following maps have been prepared by State Nature
Protection Agency to provide general information
about suitability of locations for wind parks
developements. They reflect standards agreed in
coordination with CEA experts.
