CORNWALL ENERGY ANALYSIS OF WINTER 2014 e-POWER AUCTION RESULTS 'Overall, the winter 2014-15 auction continued to show high levels of demand from suppliers, evidenced by the 20 participants in the auction and 13 bids per contract. An increasing number of suppliers are entering in the e-POWER auction as it a simple and cost-effective route to green power compared with other options, including trading platforms.
e-POWER to sponsor the British Hydropower Association Annual conference We are pleased to announce that e-POWER will be the exclusive sponsor of the BHA annual conference being held at the Thistle hotel, Glasgow on the 28th and 29th of October,
e-POWER AUCTION RESULTS - 14 JULY 2014 The latest on-line e-POWER auction for renewable electricity was completed on Friday 11 July 2014. Two new records were set;
For the first time Anaerobic Digestion and Solar PV generators were represented in the auction. The PPA contract length for the 98 sites was in the main for the winter period 1st October to 31st March 2015, representing some £100m of electricity and renewable benefits. The average prices by technology for the commercial generators are shown below -
Cornwall Energy will produce an independent analysis of these auction results in the coming weeks. Finally updates on the auction were posted on Twitter. Please follow us on @ePOWERrenewable e-POWER offers generators a unique route to the UK electricity supply base whilst it gives suppliers an easy 'One Stop Shop' for the purchase of renewable power. The next scheduled e-POWER auction is due to be held on 29th August 2014 Energy Minister Launches REA's REview Renewable Energy View: 2014 The REAs assessment of the UK renewables market, REA: REview Renewable Energy View: 2014, was launched by Greg Barker, Energy Minister last week (REA Review 2014). e-POWER TWITTER ACCOUNT LAUNCHED @ePOWERrenewable aims to get factual information to you on a regular basis, so that you can relax in knowing that you will get an alert;

FEED-IN TARIFF Please click here to read an article on the benefits of the e-POWER auction for FIT generators, by Gaynor Hartnell formerly CEO of the REA. FEED-IN TARIFF GENERATORS TO USE e-POWER AUCTIONS In an important development for the e-POWER platform, NFPAS-Auctions is delighted to announce that generators under the Feed in Tariff (FIT) scheme can now also auction their export power. FIT generators that are half-hourly metered and over 30kW are able to opt out of the standard scheme fixed rate export tariff. Via the e-POWER auction, it is estimated that these generators could receive in excess of £55 per MWh, a significant premium to the administered fixed rate. Another bonus is that although financiers of new FIT projects may require the security of a long term electricity off-take arrangement, they are usually able to provide finance off the FIT Generation tariff only. This allows the generator to take full advantage of the higher export prices available via e-POWER by opting out of the standard export tariff.
CORNWALL ENERGY ANALYSIS OF e-POWER AUCTION RESULTS Cornwall Energy have produced some interesting analysis on our latest auction for Summer 2014 power. They highlight that the average site sold for 96% of its theoretical maximum value and this compares very favourably with short term PPAs that are 6 percentage points lower and long term PPAs that can be up to 16 pps lower.
e-POWER AUCTION results The latest on-line e-POWER auction of renewable electricity was completed on 29th January 2014. A total of 105 generating sites representing some 510 MW of installed capacity were auctioned. These included an increasing proportion of sites being auctioned directly on behalf of independent generators as well as the statutory NFFO and SRO sites. Commercial PPAs (outside of the statutory NFFO arrangements) now account for almost a third, 150 MW, of the contracts auctioned by e-POWER. This is made up of 115 MW from the latest auction as well as 35 MW that was auctioned on behalf of a generator for a three year PPA back in November 2012. Most renewable technologies are represented amongst the independent generators and they range in size from 85 kW right up to 42 MW. The current e-POWER auction began on Tuesday 28th January with a record 19 suppliers taking part. After a highly competitive auction with an average of 11 bids made per site contracts were awarded to a total of 12 successful bidders. The contracts are for electricity to be produced in the main for the summer 2014 period between 1st April 2014 and 30th September 2014. From this week's auction the average price for ROC inclusive projects was 10.09p/kWh (up 4% on the same period last year) and 5.04p/kWh for those technologies which do not receive ROCs (down 3.8% on the same period last year). The average prices by technology band are shown below-

CORNWALL ENERGY ANALYSIS OF e-POWER AUCTION RESULTS Cornwall Energy have produced some interesting analysis of the last three e-POWER auctions, please click here to download and view the report - Adobe Reader is required to view, please click here to download Adobe Reader. Their analysis shows that compared with typical short term bilateral PPAs that might offer 85% to 95% of full market value, generating sites in the latest e-POWER auction achieved an average of 98.1%. The results were very similar too for the previous two auctions (98.0% and 95.9%). Suppliers are increasingly finding the e-POWER auction a convenient place to buy power with 17 taking part this time compared to 14 in the last auction. This clearly demonstrates that the e-POWER auction represents a truly liquid market mechanism for the trading of short term PPAs. The next scheduled e-POWER auction is due to be held on 28th January 2014. e-POWER
AUCTION results - 11 July 2013 The latest on-line e-POWER auction of renewable electricity was completed on 11th July 2013. A total of 120 generating sites representing some 555 MW of installed capacity were auctioned. These included statutory NFFO and SRO sites but also an increasing proportion of sites being auctioned directly on behalf of independent generators. These purely commercial contracts (outside of the statutory NFFO arrangements) account now for almost a third, 150 MW, of the contracts auctioned by e-POWER. Most renewable technologies are represented and they range in size from 85 KW right up to 42 MW. In addition to the commercial contracts auctioned in this e-POWER auction a be-spoke auction took place late last year for a generator selling 3 years' worth of power from several large Energy from Waste sites. The current e-POWER auction began on Tuesday 9th July with a record 17 suppliers taking part. After a highly competitive auction with an average of 12 bids made per site contracts were finally awarded to a total of 12 successful bidders. The contracts are for electricity to be produced in the main between 1st October 2013 and 31st March 2014. From this week's auction the average price for ROC inclusive projects was 10.81p/kWh (up 10.5% on the same period last year) and 5.53p/kWh for those technologies which do not receive ROCs (up 5.5% on the same period last year).

These were mainly NFFO and SRO projects but also included a number of sites being auctioned directly on behalf of generators. The main auction began on Tuesday 29th January 2013 and after a highly competitive auction with an average of 12 bids made per site contracts were finally awarded on 1st February 2013 to a total of twelve successful bidders. These contracts are for electricity to be produced in the main between 1st April 2013 and 30th September 2013. In addition a be-spoke e-POWER auction took place late last year for a generator selling 3 years' worth of power from several large Energy from Waste sites. From this week�s auction the average price for ROC inclusive projects was 9.70p/kWh and 5.24p/kWh for those technologies which do not receive ROCs.
