Latest listing adds a 642 MW Wind Power Project in Iasi, Romania

markusvrieling — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 08:08:53 +0000

RESbroker Europe added the largest fully permitted wind farm in Romania to its listings.

This wind farm is located in the area Iasi-Vaslui and connects to high capacity grid lines. The project needs to implement a new substation that will be owned by the project developer. The location of this wind farm is excellent given the fact that it is close to Ukraine and Moldova. Both countries will need in the future to import electricity due to the planned closure of 8000 MW generation capacity in old carbon fueled power plants.

Investing in Clean Energy Projects

markusvrieling — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 10:23:49 +0000

In these times, where the financial markets do not seem to offer any security anymore, investors are looking for alternatives as either the returns are at the lowest ever or the risks are sky high. Traditional equity funds and investment funds have shown to be as vulnerable as the funds they invest in while management fees still are not in balance with the returns they generate. More and more investors therefore start to look for direct investments rather than investing through investment funds or investment companies.

RESbroker is the source of clean energy projects for both professional large investors and private investors that look for investment projects in renewable energy. Europe has a target of 20% renewable energy by 2020 and each European country has its own promotion scheme and tariff for feed-in of electricity generated using renewable sources.

RESbroker provides up-to-date information about each country separately while per country projects can be selected. , RESbroker also targets developers and sellers of projects. As premier broker in clean energy projects in Europe, RESbroker offers developers of renewable energy projects the perfect platform to advertise their projects without any costs.

Italian Solar Projects For Sale

markusvrieling — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 10:10:00 +0000

RESbroker has a number of photovoltaic projects for sale in Italy. Most of them are smaller projects under 1 MW with a feed-in contract. Many of them are operational while others are almost ready to be connected in 2012.

Italy still has an attractive feed-in tariff for 2012 of around 17 EURO cents per kilowatthour. An additional 10% bonus is applied when European technology is used. We also have several operational solar projects available with a higher feed-in tariff up to almost 40 euro cents per kilowatthour.

Investors that do not need the project as co-lateral have an advantage but still will be able to attract finance in debts to boost the IRR in equity as long as they can provide enough co-lateral.

Europe already has a target of 20% clean energy by 2020 but most likely will increase the use of renewable energy sources as climate change becomes a bigger threat ever. Despite the economic crisis there is an increasing interest from private investors to invest in renewable energy projects.

Green Tariff for Electricity Ukraine

markusvrieling — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 13:52:21 +0000

by: Yuriy Nechayev

The “green” tariff for electricity (also known in many other jurisdictions as the “feed-in” tariff) was introduced in Ukraine relatively recently – only in 2008. Since that time it has evolved substantially and now appears to be quite mature in terms of the legislative base. Moreover, the Parliament of Ukraine continues to be make certain legislative improvements. For instance, in June 2011 some state guarantees of application of the “green” tariff were enhanced. The latest amendment was adopted by the Parliament of Ukraine on 18 November 2011 and signed by the President of Ukraine on 8 December 2011. This underscores the Ukrainian government’s attention to this mechanism and its willingness to make it as much attractive as possible.

On the other hand, the Ukrainian government is clear in its intention that not only environment should benefit from the application of the “green” tariff, but also the Ukrainian economy. Therefore, the state will support only those technologies, which, after the “green” tariff ceases to apply, will be able to compete in economic terms with the technologies working on traditional fuels. Following this logic, the President of Ukraine vetoed a law adopted by the Parliament of Ukraine on 6 October 2011, which envisaged the extension of the “green” tariff to electricity generated from biogas. According to the President of Ukraine, the prime cost of electricity generated from biogas is now the same and is expected to become higher than the prime cost of electricity generated from traditional fuels, while, in case of electricity generated from other alternative energy sources (e.g., wind energy), the prime cost of such electricity constantly reduces and is expected to become eventually lower than the prime cost of electricity generated from traditional fuels.

Clean Energy investments reaching $1 trillion over the past five years

markusvrieling — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 06:56:20 +0000

In some rare good news from the energy sector, latest indicators show that investment in clean energy has been surging over the past five years to pass the $1 trillion mark this year with the highest rise in investment being in 2010. This news came at a time when the UN was struggling to keep the Climate talks in Durban, South Africa on course even as large developed nations baulk at the idea of ratifying a binding deal. For many of these large countries, including the US and China, existing outside any binding legislation and policy is the only guarantee of competitive advantage in a world where the most industrialized nations call the shots.

This is why the US declined to append its signature to the previous Kyoto Protocol and has continued to insist that climate change due to carbon emissions is more a subjective truth than an overarching reality.

Fortunately, the agreement in Durban to establish a new body to negotiate a global agreement (Ad Hoc Working Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action) by 2015 represents a major step forward.

The Climate Action Tracker scientists stated, however, that the agreement will not immediately affect the emissions outlook for 2020 and has postponed decisions on further emission reductions. They warned that catching up on this postponed action will be increasingly costly.

The Climate Action Tracker estimates that global mean warming would reach about 3.5°C by 2100 with the current reduction proposals on the table. They are definitely insufficient to limit temperature increase to 2°C.
