The international Solar Mobilization Fund SMF

• TREC and GEZEN (The Netherlands)
• The idea of SMF is coming from Franz Trieb,
  DLR-Sokrates document AP 1.3.

Solar Mobilization Fund

• The Feed-In system for subsidizing renewable
  energy sources
• California SEGS-I 1985 Solar-CSP 24
  cts/kWh
• California SEGS-IX 1991 Solar-CSP 12
  cts/kWh
• Spain 2005 Solar-CSP PV 22
  cts/kWh
• Algeria 2004 Hybrid gas/CSP 5
  cts/kWh
• Germany 2004 Solar-PV
  50 cts/kWh
• Germany 2004 Wind 9.1 cts/kWh
• Germany, Denmark Feed-In law Huge
  amount of wind power
• Netherlands, UK no feed-in law Low
  density of wind turbines.
• Conclusion Feed-In is the best method!

Solar Mobilization Fund

• Feed-In how does it work?
• for example Wind
• Players
• Project ( owner/operator of a turbine)
• Grid Company ( owner of the electric grid in the
  region of project)
• Government ( making the laws)
• Investor ( banks and people with shares in the
  turbine)
• Law Project and Grid Company are forced by
  law to make a
• contract Project can sell all
  electricity for a fixed price
• (f.i. 7 cents/kWh) to the Grid
  Company during a certain time
• (f.i. 20 years). As soon as
  Project starts, the contract is
• immune for political changes.
• Effect 1 The risk is small, Investor accepts a
  moderate interest
• Effect 2 All clients of Grid Company subsidize
  the Project.

Solar Mobilization Fund

• Problem with CSP in MENA
• Most MENA countries have a poor population. It
  is not fair that the electricity consumers in
  Cairo should subsidize CSP stations.
• Solution
• Let the rich world subsidize CSP by means of
  the
