Some data

• Navarra exports electricity produced by RES and
  by transforming gas in double cycle energy
  plants.
• Navarra imports carbon, petrol and gas.
• In 2007 (last energy balance)
• (Spanishs target is 29,4 in 2010).

Specific Benefits

• Around 100 companies working in this sector (GDP
  5).
• 6000 jobs generated (1,7 overall).
• Technology, know-how development and
  internationalization.
• Companies of Navarra have registered 43 patents
  on RES issues.
• Environment improvement Every year 2.000 Tons of
  CO² have not been emitted.

Government of Navarras support More than 400 M
invested on RES systems.

First Steps I

• In 1984 Foundation of EHN (currently Acciona
  Energy).
• In 1992. Wind and sun measurements began.
• In 1994 technology European partners were
  searched and Vestas was found.
• Gamesa Eólica started (Gamesa, Vestas and
  Sodena).

6
First Steps II

• In December of 1994 first wind farm of Navarre
  (and Spain), El Perdón, 500kw turbines was set
  up. Visible from Pamplona.
• In 1995 Educational Programmes focused on
  students from primary and secondary school began.

At Present

• National Government has released a Law (6/2009,
  30th of April) creating a registry office you
  have to be registered to get the feed in tariff
  benefits.
• We have designed subsidies (Regional Law,
  195/2009, 6th of April) to promote solar PV and
  wind installations on roofs and buildings up to
  100kw.
• Other types of RES subsidized are biomass, 2º G
  biofuels, biogas, geothermal energy and small
  hydro power plants.
• RES sector is not as active as it used to be due
  to the financial crisis but it is still
  healthier than others.

Current situation of Wind Farms

• 38 wind farms
• 4 promoters
• 957MW installed
• 47 electrical com-
• sumption.

Further Steps

• Decentralized production where consumption is
  needed.
• Micro-grids in industrial site a cooperative
  project between CENER, University and companies.
• Improved transport (transmission) grid.
• Increase our RD and Training activities
  throughout cooperative projects between
  companies, technology centres and universities.

15
Conclusions

• Early start
• Government became aware of the importance of RES.

Necessity a great dependence of energy
supplies from outside Navarre.
Resources Public funding to invest in RES
project.
Planning Transparency Social agreement A company
(48 public) Regional risk capital Electrical
distributors implication Funding and regulations
