Calls for project proposals are announced in major national and regional newspapers at least biannually and for most programmes four times a year.
Razpisi za zbiranje projektnih predlogov so v večjih nacionalnih in regionalnih časopisih objavljeni vsaj dvakrat na leto, za večino programov pa štirikrat na leto.
The eligible projects
Upravičeni projekti
As regards the investment support for the production and use of renewable energy, Norway supports energy projects which are defined in Article 2 of Directive 2001/77/EC [18] as renewable energy sources (see point 7 of the Authority's State Aid Guidelines on Environmental Aid, hereinafter ‘the Environmental Guidelines’, which covers wind and solar energy, geothermal energy, wave energy, tidal energy and hydroelectric installations with a capacity below 10 MW as well as biomass).
Kar zadeva podporo za naložbe v proizvodnjo in uporabo obnovljivih virov energije, Norveška podpira energetske projekte, ki so v členu 2 Direktive 2001/77/ES [18] opredeljeni kot obnovljivi viri energije (glej točko 7 Smernic Nadzornega organa o državni pomoči za okoljsko pomoč, v nadaljevanju „Okoljske smernice“, ki zajema vetrno in sončno energijo, geotermalno energijo, energijo valov, energijo plimovanja, energijo vodnih elektrarn zmogljivosti pod 10 MW in energijo biomase).
Hydropower, which is — as explained — the traditional source for electricity production used in Norway, has so far not been given any support [19].
Vodna energija, ki je – kot je bilo razloženo – tradicionalni vir za proizvodnjo električne energije na Norveškem, doslej še ni bila deležna podpore [19].
Funds for the introduction of natural gas are not part of the Energy Fund [20].
Sredstva za uvedbo zemeljskega plina niso del energetskega sklada [20].
Enova regards the following projects as qualifying for support in general terms: wind energy, bioenergy, tidal energy, geothermal energy, ocean wave energy.
Enova kot na splošno upravičene do podpore obravnava naslednje projekte: vetrna energija, bioenergija, energija plimovanja, geotermalna energija, energija valovanja oceanov.
Solar energy comprises passive solar building integrated solutions, solar heating systems and PV (photovoltaic) production.
Sončna energija obsega integrirane rešitve pasivne solarne gradnje, sončne ogrevalne sisteme in fotovoltaično (PV) proizvodnjo.
When it comes to the notion of ‘bioenergy’, the Norwegian authorities have clarified that this term is used for renewable energy (electricity or heat) based on biomass as defined by Directive 2001/77/EC.
Glede pojma „bioenergija“ so norveški organi pojasnili, da se ta izraz uporablja za obnovljive vire energije (električne ali toplotne), ki temeljijo na biomasi, kot to določa Direktiva 2001/77/ES.
Bioenergy is a wider notion than biomass and covers e.g. projects which convert biomass to electricity and/or heat in contrast to biomass projects which only concern the production and processing of biomass itself.
Bioenergija je širši pojem kot biomasa in zajema npr. projekte, ki biomaso pretvarjajo v električno in/ali toplotno energijo, v nasprotju s projekti v zvezi z biomaso, ki zadevajo samo proizvodnjo in predelavo same biomase.
Such projects are dependent on extra investment in back-up and peak load capacity based on other sources of energy.
Takšni projekti so odvisni od dodatnih naložb v rezervno zmogljivost in zmogljivost ob največji obremenitvi, ki temeljijo na drugih virih energije.
Therefore, the costs of investments in these projects might not only cover biomass, but also other sources of energy besides biomass.
Zato stroški naložb v te projekte lahko poleg biomase zajemajo tudi druge vire energije.
The Authority understands that there could be situations in which the bioenergy consists only of a fraction of biomass.
Nadzorni organ razume, da se lahko pojavijo primeri, ko je bioenergija sestavljena samo iz delčka biomase.
The Norwegian authorities have specified that the notion of ‘use’ of renewable energy sources will cover situations in which the investment is made for internal production, whereby the producer and the user is the same entity (which is often the case for heat production).
Norveški organi so razložili, da bo pojem „uporabe“ obnovljivih virov energije zajemal primere, ko je naložba namenjena notranji proizvodnji, pri čemer sta proizvajalec in uporabnik isti subjekt (kar se pogosto dogaja pri proizvodnji toplotne energije).
The calculation of the support — the net present value calculation method
Izračun podpore – metoda izračuna neto sedanje vrednosti
Enova calculates the support that can be given to a project as the discounted present value of the difference between current production costs of the project and current revenues based on the market price of the relevant energy source.
Podporo, ki se lahko dodeli projektu, Enova izračuna kot diskontirano sedanjo vrednost razlike med trenutnimi proizvodnimi stroški projekta in trenutnimi prihodki, ki temeljijo na tržni ceni zadevnega vira energije.
In other words, it uses a net present value calculation (hereinafter referred to as NPV calculation).
Rečeno drugače, uporabi izračun neto sedanje vrednosti (v nadaljnjem besedilu izračun NPV (net present value)).
The market price for the relevant energy
Tržna vrednost zadevne energije
In order to choose the market price, the Norwegian authorities distinguish between three different situations:
Pri izbiri tržne vrednosti norveški organi razlikujejo med tremi različnimi primeri:
Firstly, they consider the case of renewable energy production which is fed into the transmission grid and, therefore, competes with traditional generation of electricity as quoted on the Nordpool power exchange.
prvič, obravnavajo primer proizvodnje obnovljivih virov energije, ki se dovaja v prenosno omrežje in zato konkurira tradicionalnim metodam pridobivanja električne energije, ki kotirajo na energetski borzi Nordpool.
This is the case for wind, bio, waste, solar, tidal and ocean wave energy and the price quoted in Nordpool serves as a reference.
Takšen je primer vetrne energije, bioenergije, energije iz odpadkov, sončne energije, energije plimovanja in energije valovanja oceanov, ponujena cena na borzi Nordpool pa se uporablja kot referenca.
On the Nordpool power exchange, both spot prices and forward prices up to three years can be observed.
Na energetski borzi Nordpool se lahko spremljajo promptne cene in terminske cene za dobavo do treh let.
As investments are based on the expectations of future electricity prices, Enova refers to forward contracts which are traded on a daily basis.
Ker naložbe temeljijo na pričakovanih prihodnjih cenah električne energije, se Enova ravna po terminskih pogodbah, s katerimi se trguje dnevno.
To cancel out random price fluctuations, a six-month average of the latest tradable future contracts is used.
Zaradi izenačitve naključnih nihanj cen se uporablja šestmesečno povprečje najnovejših prihodnjih pogodb za trgovanje.
The price is quoted on the submission date of the project application, which occurs four times a year.
Cena se ponudi na datum predložitve prijave projekta, kar se zgodi štirikrat na leto.
The second case is that of district heat, which is distributed on a local distribution net and competes with heat from fossil fuels or from electricity.
Drugi je primer daljinskega ogrevanja, ki se dovaja v lokalnodistribucijsko omrežje in konkurira ogrevanju s fosilnimi gorivi ali električno energijo.
In this situation, Enova refers to the actual contract price [21] paid by the consumer (the price of the ordinary energy — from fossil fuels and electricity).
Tu se Enova ravna po dejanski pogodbeni ceni [21], ki jo plača odjemalec (cena navadne energije – iz fosilnih goriv in električne energije).
The third scenario covers energy production which is not fed into any distribution net (e.g. on-site power generation based on residual steam not fed into the power grid).
Tretja možnost zajema proizvodnjo energije, ki se ne dovaja v distribucijsko omrežje (npr. proizvodnja električne energije na kraju samem, ki temelji na ostanku pare in se ne dovaja v energetsko omrežje).
In this case, the price the end user is facing in the market is used, including taxes.
V tem primeru se uporabi cena, ki za končnega uporabnika velja na trgu, vključno z davki.
The ‘triggering off’ effect
„Sprožilni“ učinek
The objective of the aid scheme is to encourage investment into renewable energies which would otherwise not take place, due to the fact that the energy price obtainable in the market does not cover the costs and thus makes the net present value negative.
Cilj sheme pomoči je spodbuditi naložbe v obnovljive vire energije, ki jih sicer ne bi bilo, ker cena energije, ki jo je mogoče doseči na trgu, ne pokrije stroškov in tako ustvari negativno sedanjo vrednost.
For that reason, according to the Norwegian authorities, the subsidy shall only compensate the extra costs of the production of renewable energy.
Po trditvah norveških organov subvencija zato samo nadomesti dodatne stroške proizvodnje obnovljivih virov energije.
Moreover, the support granted by Enova shall not exceed the amount deemed necessary in order to trigger the project, i.e. to encourage a positive investment decision.
Poleg tega podpora, ki jo dodeli Enova, ne preseže zneska, ki naj bi bil potreben za sprožitev projekta, tj. za spodbuditev pozitivne odločitve za naložbo.
However, when the Energy Fund and Enova were established, there were, according to the Authority's information, no precise specifications as to when the triggering effect would be considered to have been reached.
Vendar ob ustanovitvi energetskega sklada in organa Enova po navedbah Nadzornega organa ni bilo natančno določeno, kdaj naj bi veljalo, da je sprožilni učinek dosežen.
It was e.g. not specified when the project would reach — with the support from the Energy Fund included — a zero net present value.
Ni bilo na primer določeno, kdaj naj bi projekt – vključno s podporo energetskega sklada – dosegel neto sedanjo vrednost nič.
As further illustrated in the Authority's decision to open the formal investigation procedure, in some instances the support granted by Enova might have led to project support which resulted in a calculated positive net present value [22].
Kot je nadalje ponazorjeno v odločbi Nadzornega organa o sprožitvi formalnega postopka preiskave, bi lahko podpora organa Enova v nekaterih primerih vodila do podpore za projekt, na podlagi katere bi bila izračunana neto sedanja vrednost pozitivna [22].
When projects are granted support, Enova and the aid recipient enter into an aid contract, which regulates the terms on which disbursement will take place.
Ko se projektom dodeli podpora, Enova in prejemnik pomoči skleneta pogodbo o pomoči, ki ureja pogoje, pod katerimi se bo izvedlo izplačilo.
The disbursements might be adjusted in accordance with any cost reduction during the construction period.
Izplačila se lahko prilagodijo glede na morebitno zmanjšanje stroškov v času izgradnje.
After the investment is realised, there is a follow-up on the realised costs against costs estimated in the application.
Po uresničitvi naložbe sledi nadaljnje spremljanje nastalih stroškov glede na stroške, ocenjene v prijavi.
If these factors differ to the advantage of the applicant, Enova may adjust the financial aid downward to reflect the actual cost structure [23].
Če se ta dva faktorja razlikujeta v korist prosilca, lahko Enova zmanjša finančno pomoč, tako da le-ta odseva dejansko stroškovno strukturo [23].
The fair return on capital
Primeren donos kapitala
The basis for the trigger off requirement includes a fair return on capital.
Podlaga za sprožilno zahtevo vključuje primeren donos kapitala.
The discount rate used was set at a rate of 7 % per annum (nominal, pre-tax rate) for all projects to which certain percentage points were added as a risk premium.
Uporabljena diskontna stopnja je bila za vse projekte določena na 7 % na leto (nominalna stopnja pred obdavčitvijo), temu pa so bile kot premija za tveganje dodane določene odstotne točke.
The Norwegian Government stated that Enova will base its analysis on theoretical values suggested in public reports from acknowledged government institutions in Norway, whereby the risk premium would vary between 2,5 to 4,5 %, depending on the type of energy and project.
Norveška vlada je navedla, da bo Enova v svoji analizi izhajal iz teoretičnih vrednosti, predlaganih v javnih poročilih priznanih vladnih institucij na Norveškem, s čimer naj bi premija za tveganje znašala med 2,5 in 4,5 %, odvisno od vrste energije in projekta.
Energy saving measures
Ukrepi varčevanja z energijo
According to the system as notified [24], support for the investment in energy saving measures is calculated according to the same net present value calculation method used for renewable energy projects.
V skladu s priglašenim sistemom [24] se podpora za naložbe v ukrepe varčevanja z energijo izračuna na podlagi enake metode izračuna neto sedanje vrednosti, kot se uporablja za projekte obnovljivih virov energije.
New energy technology
Nova energetska tehnologija
In this category, Enova supports technologies which still need some development and which need to be further tested before they are economically viable, although they are past the stage of research and development projects covered by Chapter 14 on research and development aid of the Authority's State Aid Guidelines.
V tej kategoriji Enova podpira tehnologije, pri katerih je še potreben določen razvoj in ki jih je treba dodatno preizkusiti, preden postanejo gospodarsko izvedljive, čeprav so že presegle stopnjo projektov raziskav in razvoja, ki jih zajema poglavje 14 o pomoči za raziskave in razvoj Smernic o državni pomoči Nadzornega organa.
Examples of such technologies are tidal or wave energy installations.
Primeri takšnih tehnologij so objekti za energijo plimovanja ali valov.
The projects might be linked to achieve energy efficiency or foster renewable energy production.
Projekti se lahko povežejo, da dosežejo energetsko učinkovitost ali spodbudijo proizvodnjo obnovljivih virov energije.
During the formal investigation, the Norwegian authorities clarified that this category could be considered as a subcategory of the investment support for renewable energy production and energy saving described above.
Med formalno preiskavo so norveški organi pojasnili, da se ta kategorija lahko obravnava kot podkategorija podpore za naložbe v zgoraj opisano proizvodnjo obnovljivih virov energije in varčevanje z energijo.
In the past, 95,3 % of the supported projects under this category concerned renewable energy production, 4,3 % concerned energy saving measures [25].
V preteklosti se je 95,3 % podprtih projektov v okviru te kategorije nanašalo na proizvodnjo obnovljivih virov energije, 4,3 % projektov pa se je nanašalo na ukrepe varčevanja z energijo [25].
Enova has signed an agreement with the Norwegian Research Council on the ‘introduction of innovative energy solutions’ for energy saving and heat production from solar energy and biomass.
Enova je podpisal sporazum z Norveškim raziskovalnim svetom o „uvedbi inovativnih energetskih rešitev“ za varčevanje z energijo in proizvodnjo toplote iz sončne energije in biomase.
According to the Norwegian authorities, this agreement does not constitute a new aid scheme, but only an enhanced focus on an area where the cooperation between Enova and the Research Council is expected to give synergy effects.
Po navedbah norveških organov ta sporazum ni nova shema pomoči, ampak pomeni samo večje poudarjanje področja, na katerem naj bi sodelovanje med organom Enova in raziskovalnim svetom po pričakovanjih prineslo sinergijske učinke.
According to the Norwegian authorities, this mechanism functions as a common entry door for projects which might either be in a pre-competitive stage (and thus might receive support from the Research Council) or generate revenues (and might receive support from Enova).
Po navedbah norveških organov ta mehanizem deluje kot skupni vhod za projekte, ki so lahko na predkonkurenčni stopnji (in tako lahko prejmejo podporo raziskovalnega sveta) ali ustvarjajo prihodke (in lahko prejmejo podporo organa Enova).
The project will not receive funding from both support agencies.
Projekt ne bo prejel sredstev iz obeh agencij za podporo.
However, the Norwegian authorities underline that, in any event, the cumulation rules guarantee that section G (66) of the Environmental Guidelines are to be respected.
Vendar norveški organi poudarjajo, da pravila o kumulaciji v vsakem primeru zagotavljajo upoštevanje oddelka G (66) Okoljskih smernic.
This section of the Environmental Guidelines states that support under these guidelines may not be combined with other forms of State aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement, if such overlapping produces an aid intensity higher than that laid down in the Environmental Guidelines.
Ta oddelek Okoljskih smernic določa, da se podpora v okviru teh smernic ne sme združevati z drugimi oblikami državne pomoči v smislu člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP, če takšno prekrivanje povzroči intenzivnost pomoči, ki je višja od intenzivnosti, določene v Okoljskih smernicah.
Since only projects generating revenues are to be supported by Enova, Enova uses the net present value calculation mentioned above equally for the support of new technology projects.
Ker Enova podpre samo projekte, ki ustvarjajo prihodke, uporablja zgoraj navedeni izračun neto sedanje vrednosti tudi pri podpori za projekte nove tehnologije.
The income of the projects is based on the generation of electricity and heat for sale, which, according to the Norwegian authorities, constitutes an income which makes the projects viable for the net present value calculation approach.
Dohodek projektov temelji na proizvodnji električne in toplotne energije za prodajo, ta pa po navedbah norveških organov pomeni dohodek, zaradi katerega je metoda izračuna neto sedanje vrednosti pri teh projektih upravičena.
Enova also offers advisory and consultancy services to achieve energy efficiency free of charge to undertakings.
Enova podjetjem zagotavlja tudi brezplačne svetovalne in posvetovalne storitve za dosego energetske učinkovitosti.
The purpose of the support is to increase the number of enterprises that perform energy audits and analyses and help them to reduce the respective costs.
Cilj podpore je povečati število podjetij, ki izvajajo energetske preglede in analize, in jim pomagati pri zmanjševanju zadevnih stroškov.
As notified, these services were legally neither limited to aid below the de minimis threshold nor aid to small and medium-sized enterprises.
Kot je bilo priglašeno, te storitve pravno niso bile omejene niti na pomoč pod de minimis pragom niti na pomoč za mala in srednja podjetja.
They were targeted to certain undertakings.
Namenjene so bile določenim podjetjem.
In the programme text for 2003, the target groups were described as owners of private and public buildings with a total surface area over 5000 square metres and industrial enterprises, as well as tenants of large areas.
V programskem besedilu za leto 2003 so bile ciljne skupine opisane kot lastniki zasebnih in javnih zgradb s skupno površino, ki presega 5000 kvadratnih metrov, ter industrijska podjetja in najemniki velikih površin.
As of 2003, Enova has granted money to firms to purchase such advisory and consultancy services, rather than rendering the service itself.
Po letu 2003 Enova teh storitev ne izvaja sam, ampak podjetjem dodeljuje denarna sredstva za nakup takšnih svetovalnih in posvetovalnih storitev.
The Norwegian authorities stress that support under these programmes should be distinguished from the teaching and educational measures.
Norveški organi poudarjajo, da je treba razlikovati med podporo v okviru teh programov ter poučevanjem in izobraževalnimi ukrepi.
This is so as the funding goes directly to companies for performing energy audits and energy analyses and to identify either energy saving investments or behavioural changes within the enterprises.
To pa zato, ker se sredstva namenijo neposredno podjetjem za izvajanje energetskih pregledov in energetskih analiz ter za opredelitev naložb v varčevanje z energijo ali sprememb ravnanja znotraj podjetij.
The Authority will, therefore, consider this support separately in the present decision.
Zato bo Nadzorni organ v tej odločbi to podporo obravnaval ločeno.
The Norwegian authorities further argue that the programmes are similar to energy audits under a Finnish scheme, approved by the Commission [26].In the past, grants might have been handed out which covered up to 50 % of eligible costs.
Norveški organi nadalje trdijo, da so programi podobni energetskim pregledom v okviru finske sheme, ki jo je odobrila Komisija [26].Možno je, da so se v preteklosti razdeljevale subvencije, ki so pokrile do 50 % upravičenih stroškov.
According to the Norwegian authorities, as of 1 January 2004, only 40 % of the eligible costs have been supported.
Po navedbah norveških organov pa se po 1. januarju 2004 subvencionira samo 40 % upravičenih stroškov.
Information and educational programmes in the field of energy efficiency
Informacijski in izobraževalni programi na področju energetske učinkovitosti
Enova operates an energy information helpline, whereby information and advice are provided free of charge to anyone interested in achieving more energy efficiency.
Enova upravlja telefon za brezplačne informacije o energiji, kjer lahko vsi, ki jih zanima, kako doseči večjo energetsko učinkovitost, dobijo brezplačne informacije in nasvete.
In as far as Enova does not have the capacity to undertake these activities itself, the Norwegian authorities state that services have been bought in line with the public procurement rules.
Glede na to, da Enova sam nima zmogljivosti za izvajanje teh dejavnosti, se storitve po navedbah norveških organov kupujejo v skladu s pravili javnega naročanja.
Enova does not exercise any discretion regarding to whom such advice and information is provided.
Enova ne odloča sam, komu se zagotovijo takšni nasveti in informacije.
Until 1 January 2003, Enova offered a widely publicised programme by which queries regarded energy efficiency which required concrete follow-up in households and undertakings on-site were handled by twenty regional efficiency centres which represented Enova in this field.
Do 1. januarja 2003 je Enova zagotavljal v javnosti zelo poznan program, v okviru katerega je poizvedbe o energetski učinkovitosti, ki so zahtevale konkretno nadaljnje spremljanje v gospodinjstvih in podjetjih na kraju samem, izvedlo dvajset regionalnih centrov za učinkovitost, ki so na tem področju zastopali organ Enova.
The support was provided free of charge and approximately two hours were reserved for each request.
Podpora je bila brezplačna in za vsako prošnjo sta bili namenjeni približno dve uri.
The Norwegian authorities state that Enova did not enjoy any discretion regarding the recipients to whom to provide this service.
Norveški organi navajajo, da Enova ni odločal sam, kateremu prejemniku se zagotovi ta storitev.
For educational measures, the following programmes are to be mentioned.
Pri izobraževalnih ukrepih je treba omeniti naslednje programe.
The Norwegian authorities stress that competition among bidders and cost-effectiveness of the projects are essential.
Norveški organi poudarjajo, da sta konkurenca med ponudniki in stroškovna učinkovitost projektov bistveni.
Until 1 January 2005, Enova provided a programme [27] for the development of teaching material and learning concepts to stimulate and preserve knowledge concerning renewable energies, in companies.
Do 1. januarja 2005 je Enova zagotavljal program [27] za razvoj učnega gradiva in konceptov učenja, da bi v podjetjih spodbujali in ohranjali znanje o obnovljivih virih energije.
The programme was organised as a tendering process, and Enova paid 50 % of the total development costs of the project.
Program je bil organiziran v obliki razpisnega postopka in Enova je plačal 50 % skupnih razvojnih stroškov projekta.
