Cleaner, Healthier, Smarter World”*
*Mims, et. al. 2009, Scientific American
“What we’re really seeing is a transition in how we
think about buying energy goods and services”*
*Daniel M. Kammen
Key messages:
New tools needed to meet energy cost containment, security and climate targets
PACE - Property Assessed Clean Energy financing provides a new opportunity
Energy services are less expensive if the full energy system is assessed, not
single technologies

• Climate Targets Europe - Climate Package “20-20-20”
• Energy import Italy’s primary energy import
approximately 87.7% (2009)
Energy cost* (millions €)
51.7 Billion €
Energy import cost/GDP

Uncertainity about the energy savings

9. Main conclusions
Financing barriers are particularly relevant for low-income households
Inequality is reasonably high in Italy
Typical energy package (16,000 €) upfront cost represents a huge
deterrent considering the average income pre capita is 18,900 € (taxpayer)
and 22,700 € (owner taxpayer)
PACE program could represent the most cost-effective way to finance
energy improvements, as when it is well-designed it ensures higher NPV
than the other market options

FINANCING SCHEMES TOWARD GRID
PARITY CONVERGENCE
GRID PARITY … the point where the cost of PV
Goal: generated electricity EQUALS the cost
TARGET
of electricity purchased from the grid
… economic assessment that includes all
Method: Levelized Cost of cost categories, i.e. investment, cost of
Electricity (LCOE) financing, operations and maintenance
http://www.dimoi.univpm.it/ http://rael.berkeley.edu/
11. Levelized Cost of Energy Method
CAPEX + NPV (OPEX ) CAPEX, capital expenditure
LCOE = OPEX, operations and maintenance costs
NPV ( EP ) EP, electricity produced
This formula can be thought as:
NPC, net project cost

14. PACE VS Feed In Tariff
• Short term: grid parity achievement
• Long term: sustainable policy scheme
Feed in Tariff cost: 4.9 billion €/year according to GSE meter
(Updated October 2011)
• Primo Conto Energia 0,09 billion €/year
• Secondo Conto Energia 3 billion €/year
• Terzo Conto Energia 0,7 billion €/year
• Quarto Conto Energia 1,03 billion €/year
Cap 6,5 billion €/year

What is going to happen in 2012/2013?
We do not know!
http://www.dimoi.univpm.it/ http://rael.berkeley.edu/
15. Main conclusions
The grid parity achievement requires a reduction of the current
LCOE about 0.114 €/kWh corresponding to 42% above the target
The variability of financial factors is shown to have a significant
effect on the LCOE with an average annual reduction of 6,45%
(PACE implementation)
The break-even point for residential projects will be achieved as
early as 2015/2016
PACE policy will enable to keep the current PV investment ratio,
without other economic schemes in place (i.e. FiT)

17. Main issues
• Realized investment cost - Importance of restriction of cost per unit
GAP: Average application and price list/estimated cost (average +25/30%)
Ex. Windows replacement applications received ~ average value 610 €/m2
estimated cost ~ 233- 440 €/m2
Heating system applications received ~ average value 12.000 €
estimated cost ~ 5.000 €

21. Main conclusions
Main issues related to Tax Credit of 55% were:
1. Realized investment cost
2. Negative economic impact of national budget
Scenarios modeled (taking into account of tax credit 2007-2010):
1. 2007-2013 Tax credit of 55%: - 2,8 B euro
2. 2007-2013 PACE implementation: + 1,5 B euro
Policy intervention based on PACE would represent a sustainable
supporting scheme in the long term

22. Opportunities to Implement PACE in Italy
The rate of innovation in clean energy in the EU has not kept pace
with initial goals, so new tools are needed
PACE provides a logical and analytically simple new tool
PACE integrates key externalities to make clean energy financing
more attractive:
- It builds clean energy capital in property value
- It forces an integration of energy efficiency and renewable
energy planning
