EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Greenhouse gas emissions rom Big Emerging Markets, BEM, will likely exceed those rom
developed countries within the next 20 years, stressing the need or emerging markets eorts
to reduce the risk o climate change (Solomon, 2007). At the same time, the Big Emerging
Markets and their allies have called or a commitment to extending Kyoto but are reluctant to
accept legally binding emissions reduction targets.
Brazil, Cina and Sout Arica – tree o te key Big
Emerging Markets – are rapidly increasing teir energy
consumption, wit te energy sector contributing te most
to teir emissions, 20%, 65% and 71% respectively. To
date, Brazil, Cina and Sout Arica ave relied primarily
on coal and/or large ydropower generation and eploit
an insignicant sare o teir ‘total realisable mid-term
potentials’ or solar and wind energy (IEA, 2009). Tereore,
major policy decisions are needed to mobilize public andprivate resources on a large scale. Energy eciency
measures togeter wit renewable sources o energy
could supply te new generating capacity needed to keep
pace wit tese countries economic growt, as all are well
endowed wit ric renewable energy sources.

Knowledge o solar and wind energy resources is essential or te planning and operation o energy systems. Tis
study reveals tat even toug te tree countries ave several energy resource assessments available, te use o tese
assessments as not been widely used. Te reasons migt be a lack o awareness o te eistence o te resource
assessments by te main stakeolders and a lack o centralized access to te assessment inormation. Depending
on planned renewable energy projects, te lack o publicly available ig-resolution and accurate energy resource
inormation make te eisting resource assessments unsuitable or specic applications, i.e. assessments o investment
and operational cost, design o support instruments or plant easibility studies. In 2010, Sout Arica lacked ig-
resolution solar and wind energy assessments, altoug an assessment is planned or wind energy (CSIR, SAWS, CSAG
and Risoe, 2010). Solar and wind energy assessments are available or Cina, but ave been validated only partially
against measurement data and tus lack quantied uncertainty. Brazil as a wide range o solar and wind resource
assessments available at te regional level but still lack ig-quality assessments at te national level.
Cina, Brazil and Sout Arica’s vast solar and wind resources are considered largely untapped. For eample, a
wind atlas publised by te Electric Power Researc Centre (CEPEL/ELETROBRÁS, 2001) estimates tat in Brazil te
potential or onsore wind energy capacity at 50 meters above ground level is 143 GW – double te country’s current
installed ydropower capacity – equivalent to a tecnical power generation potential o 273 TW/year (Giulio Volpi,
2006), (Zakidov, 2008).

High-quality assessments o solar and wind energy resources are indispensable or raming
long-term, economically-sound policy rameworks or promoting solar and wind energy.
However, these assessments are expensive and not protable per se, because o the long
causal chain between, on the one end, the assessment o the resource and, at the other end,
the protable investment opportunity which could attract private sector interest.
Public unding can elp bridge tis gap by (i) nancing te development o ig-resolution assessments o renewable
energy, wic te private sector clearly will not undertake, and (ii) supporting a UNEP-acilitated eort to take te results
o tose assessments troug all te steps in te causal cain, to ensure tat targeted, unbiased and timely inormation
is made available to potential project developers and project nanciers, and tereby elp acilitate actual investment deals.
Tis study was commissioned by te United Nations Environment Programme in 2009 wit te purpose o identiying

Tere is a general agreement tat solar energy resources in Sout Arica are outstanding, owever no ig resolution
wind and solar maps are available in te public domain in 2010. Accuracy and resolution o public available maps and

In two reports (Energy Research Centre, 2007); (Schaffle & Banks, 2006) large concentrating solar power (CSP)
plants ave been proposed or signicant greenouse gas emission reductions in Sout Arica. Bot studies envisage an
installed CSP capacity eceeding 20 GW by 2035. Currently, no CSP plants are in operation in te country, and none are
under construction. It is epected tat a sudden boom will be acilitated by te renewable energy eed-in tari (REFIT),
(NERSA, 2009). Te REFIT or CSP, at ZAR 2.10 (wic is equivalent to €0.18 at te ecange rate o 21 May 2009),
sould still be adequate to spur local implementation o te tecnology (Fluri, 2009).

REVIEW oF nATIonAL PoLICIES To PRoMoTE SoLAR AnD WInD EnERGY
This section describes national and regional policies or promoting solar and wind energy in
each country and documents the main technologies used in existing and planned solar and
wind applications. Vast solar and wind resources exist in the three countries where deployment
has not yet begun to approach its potential.
As an eample, Cina is becoming an important global player in te PV and wind sectors, owever, ast economic
growt, and abundant conventional resources enable continued use o conventional ossil uels (IEA PV Tecnology
Roadmap, 2009). Witout appropriate incentives and capacity to do oterwise, tese countries are likely to ollow
carbon-intensive development pats. Cina is working now to meet domestic demand and ambitious renewable energy
targets by installing substantial new clean energy-generating capacity. Brazil, as one o te cleanest primary energy
mies (wit 80% to 85% is coming rom large ydro) yet deorestation is te major source o GhG emissions. Te
country has put in place an array of policies and programs for the sustainable use of rainforests; however national
policies supporting wind and solar deployment are still weak.
Policies and use o energy resource assessments: An analysis o te inormation collected illustrates tat policies to
promote solar and wind energy tecnology use in Brazil, Cina and Sout Arica are not based on integrated assessments,
and tus ail to reap te ull economic, environmental and employment benets o tese tecnologies. Development o
suc integrated assessments – in te orm o long-term policy roadmaps – is seen as a precondition or acieving
deployment o solar and wind energy tecnologies and to ollow a low-carbon development pat.
In te case o Brazil, governmental policies ave concentrated more on wind energy tan on solar and tereore more
efforts have been made to develop high quality wind resource assessments. Even though wind energy is predominant;
eorts ave been made to epand knowledge o Brazil’s solar resources in order to stimulate investments and tecnology
development. Te National Electricity Conservation Program, PROCEL, made use o solar resource assessments to
ensure tat solar eating was close to meeting te demand at peak ours. Sout Arica as an enormous potential orrenewable energy projects and various studies are publicly available, owever resource potentials are oten not considered
wen discussing te policy support options.
Classication o wind and energy policies: Table xII outlines policy instruments or te promotion o renewable energy
sources or electricity in te tree countries. Solar and wind energy instruments can be classied by (1) stimulating te RE
electricity prices (or by establishing “price premiums”); or (2) establishing and promoting the installed capacity. Regulatory
instruments may dene te minimum amount o renewable energy to be produced or consumed (Centro Clima, 2010).

Targets or wind and solar energy : Cina as set ambitious targets (not ocially announced yet) or wind, biomass
and solar energy. Te RE targets were oreseen as 150 GW o wind power by 2020 and 20 GW o solar PV by 2020. Te
ocial targets in te 2007 RE Medium and Long Term Plan are 15% sare o renewable in primary energy by 2020 wit
te ollowing specic goals: 300 GW ydro, 30 GW wind, 30 GW biomass, 1.8 GW PV, and 300 million m 2 o ShW. To
reac te envisaged government targets te current policies migt not be consistent enoug.
Te Sout Arican government’s target o acieving 4% o all power generated rom renewable sources by 2013 as
been criticised or not being ambitious enoug. however, witout adequate incentives tis target is unlikely to be reaced.

Review o National Policies to Promote Solar and Wind Energy
Enancing Inormation or Renewable Energy Tecnology Deployment in Brazil, Cina and Sout Arica | 43
Review natial Plicies t Prmte Slar ad Wid Eergy i Brail
Te mecanisms currently adopted in Brazil to promote te use o renewable energy sources are auctions or
specic sources done in 2008, and Reserve Energy Auctions, also done in 2008 eclusively or biomass, and in 2009
eclusively or wind.
Te main criticism o te government policies is tat tey ave ad little eect on promoting renewable energysources or electricity generation. PROINFA was te key program or increasing te deployment o renewable energy
or electricity generation. however, PV systems were not addressed in PROINFA or any oter government energy
sector program. Currently, tere are no government programs specically or increasing te penetration o solar eating
tecnology in omes, public buildings or or industrial applications, owever, tere are local and regional regulations tat
make ShW in new buildings mandatory.
It as been claimed tat in Brazil electricity rom wind is already competitive wit conventional sources. however
wind power generating costs may increase wen te best resource locations are used, ten new incentives would be
necessary to maintain wind’s competitiveness and promote oter renewables suc as solar energy.

I summary:
BRAZIL
Targets– According to governmental energy plans: Sligt increase in renewable energy sare o primary energy and
renewable electricity sare.– 3.3 GW added by 2006 rom wind, biomass and small ydro – additional 3.3 GW by 2016.– Wind power 2.7 GW by 2010 and 5,250 MW troug new binding contracts by 2013
Policies Te mecanisms adopted in Brazil to promote renewable energy tecnologies include auctions or specic sourcesand Reserve Energy Auctions (2009-2010), a eed-in tari (2002), guaranteed pricing, tradable certifcates andthird-party fnancing or onsore wind energy, bio-energy and ydropower (2002-2012).
Deployment– Combined new renewables suc as biomass, small ydro and wind power account or less tan 4% o te Brazil’s
electricity generation (85% o electricity generation is large ydro).– Since te implementation o PROINFA (Alternative Energy Sources Incentive Program) in 2002, tere as been
more tan a undred-old increase in te installed national wind energy capacity.
Lack o support or grid-connected PVBrazil is well-suited or grid-connected PV due to te substantial solar resources available and matc o solarirradiance peak wit peak loads. Neverteless, solar PV is not mentioned in PROINFA, te major national programor renewables.
Leading country or use o o-grid PVIn 2003, te ederal government launced te electrication programme Luz para Todos (Ligt or All), wic aims tosupply ull electricity access by 2010. As a result Brazil is one o te leading countries in te use o PV tecnologiesor o-grid areas.
Several governmental incentive programs promote large-scale use o solar water heating systems.
Use o resource assessments in governmental policies– National policies ave targeted wind energy more tan solar. Neverteless, tere are eorts to increase knowledge
o Brazil’s solar resources in order to stimulate investments and tecnology development.
– Te National Electricity Conservation Program (PROCEL) made use o a solar resource assessment to ensure tatsolar eating goals could meet demand during peak ours.

Review natial Plicies t Prmte Slar ad Wid Eergy i Cia
Cina is becoming an important global player in te PV and wind sectors, owever, ast economic growt, and
abundant conventional resources encourage and enable continued use o conventional ossil uels (IEA PV Tecnology
Roadmap, 2009). Cina is working now to meet domestic demand and ambitious renewable energy targets by installing
substantial new clean energy-generating capacity.
Since 2009, Cina’s government as begun to promote eigt wind power bases 1. Tese wind park locations were
identied taking into account partial resource assessments; they have rich wind resources on land and/or offshore.
Furtermore wind power as been promoted in Cina since 2005 considering te tecnical and economic potential.
Cina started to promote large-scale PV and CSP demonstration projects in 2010, owever as not used ig resolution
solar resource assessments to support te development o tese projects.
1 Wind Bases are very large wind parks, or eample, te West Inner Mongolia Wind Bases will reac 20 GW wind capacity beore 2020.

Review o National Policies to Promote Solar and Wind Energy
Enancing Inormation or Renewable Energy Tecnology Deployment in Brazil, Cina and Sout Arica | 51
I summary:
CHINA
Targets– Cina as set ambitious RE targets (not announced yet), to include a wind power target o 150 GW and a solar PV
target o 20 GW by 2020.– Te ocial targets ed in te 2007 RE Medium and Long term Plan were a 15% sare o renewables in primary
energy made up as ollows: 300 GW ydro, 30 GW wind, 30 GW biomass, 1.8 GW solar PV and 300 million m 2 o ShW by 2020.
Policies– Guaranteed prices determined by bidding process: Wind concession power (2003-2008) and large-scale PV as
a guaranteed price troug bidding since 2009.– Reduced VAT income ta measures or wind tecnologies.– Feed-in-tari or wind energy since 2009, all oter renewable energy tecnologies under te eed-in tari as
dened by te Renewable Energy Law (2005).Te level o support is set by te provinces.– Capital grants troug te Brigtness Rural Electrication Programme.
Deployment
– Cina is becoming an important global player in PV and wind, in terms o manuacturing capacity. however, PVproduction is vulnerable to canges in policies abroad as 95% o te produced tecnology is eported.– Witout sucient incentives, Cina is likely to ollow a carbon-intensive development pat.

Review o National Policies to Promote Solar and Wind Energy
52 | Enancing Inormation or Renewable Energy Tecnology Deployment in Brazil, Cina and Sout Arica
Review natial Plicies t Prmte Slar ad Wid Eergyi Sut Arica
Te non-binding target o 10,000 GW o renewable energy contribution to te total energy consumption by
2013, as outlined in Sout Arica’s Wite Paper on Renewable Energy (DME, 2003), raised awareness o renewables
considerably. however, witout adequate incentives, tis target is unlikely to be reaced. Unortunately or te wind and
solar electricity sectors, te renewable energy target was envisioned to be acieved troug a miture o sugar bagasse
(59%), landll gas (6%), hydro (10%), solar water heaters (13%), other biomass (1%) and only 1% wind; solar PV or CSP
were not included (DME, 2004).
Several measures are being implemented to address tis problem but until now implementation as not been
eective. Te most important measure to elp meet te target is a eed-in tari or renewable energy sources (REFIT)
tat was establised in 2009. however, tere is still no clarity on te process and a unctioning REFiT does not seem
to be advancing.
Te Renewable Energy Wite Paper aims to eliminate barriers impeding te urter promotion o renewable energies
troug a variety o initiatives, including: 1) promoting nancial and scal instruments or redirecting national unds to
renewable energies; 2) developing effective legislation in order to manage the growth of renewable energy; 3) promotingresearch and development of renewable energy projects; 4) raising public awareness; and 5) establishing technology
support centres to assist in te maintenance o te new energy inrastructure. A description o national policies or
promoting solar and wind energy is given in te table below.

Te main applications o PV tecnology in Brazil are telecommunications, rural electrication, water pumping and
public ligting in low-income rural communities. Grid-connected PV systems are still in te eperimental stage, wit
a combined power o 22 kWp installed (Varella, 2009). In 1995, te Brazilian government launced a programme,
PRODEEM (Programme o Energy Development o States and Municipalities), to promote rural electrication using PV
systems. Approimately 9000 PV systems were installed rom 1996 troug 2001, wit a total o 6 MWp o installed
capacity. In 2003, te ederal government launced te programme Luz para Todos (Ligt or All), wic aims to provide
electricity to te entire country by 2010. Te programme as an estimated total budget o about USD 2.6 billion unded
by te ederal government, concessionaires and state governments. A programme or labelling PV equipment and
systems was launced in 2003 by INMETRO (Brazilian Institute or Metrology, Standardisation and Industrial Quality)
to guarantee te quality o equipment acquired and installed witin te Ligt or All programme. Tis labelling sceme
is currently in orce and applies to PV modules, carge controllers, inverters and batteries and is done on a voluntary
basis (Varella, 2008). Te PV market is currently dominated by multinationals, and tere are no domestic manuacturers.
however, wit te support o te government, te Brazilian Centre or Development o Solar PV Energy (CB-Solar),
created in 2004, as developed a pilot plant to manuacture cost eective PV modules and silicon solar cells at scale
(Moelecke and Zanesco, 2007), (IEA PV roadmap, 2009).
BRAZIL
WIND Total installed capacity– 602.3 MW (2009) and 931 MW by te end o 2010. Te largest installed capacity in Latin America
until 2010 consisting o nearly 50% o te total capacity.– however, it is less tan 3% o te potential capacity estimated or Brazil, 143.5 GW.– Total o 17 installed wind arms (2009), ranging rom 0.3 MW to 50 MW.
Generating costsWind energy is already competitive with conventional sources (average of $0.08 /kWh); however,
since te best locations are being used rst, wind generating costs may rise again wen te remaining
locations are used.Domestic production capacityhig-quality industrial capacity to produce wind turbines rom 250 W up to 2.3 MW or domesticmarket and eport (about 50% o annual production).

Cina’s solar PV industry as been growing rapidly and te country now ranks rst in te world in eports o PV cells.
Domestic output o PV cells epanded rom less tan 100 MW in 2005 to 2 GW in 2008, eperiencing a 20-old increase
in just our years (Wang, 2008). Tis is te result o a strong demand rom te international PV market, especially rom
Germany and Japan. however, te PV market demand in Cina remains small, wit more tan 95% o te country’s
PV-cell products eported.
In 2009, Cina’s cumulative PV installed capacity was 305 MW (National Energy Administration, 2009). Some 40%
o tis demand is met by independent PV power systems tat supply electricity to remote areas not connected to te
national grid. Market sares o solar PV or communications, industrial, and commercial uses ave also increased. BIPV
systems, as well as large-scale PV installations in desert areas, are being encouraged by te Cinese government,
wic began providing a subsidy o RMB 20 (USD 2.93) per watt or BIPV projects in early 2009. It is likely tat
te 2010 and 2020 national targets or solar PV (400 MW and 1,800 MW, respectively) announced in 2007 will be
signicantly increased. Eperts predict tat te installed capacity could reac 1 GW in 2010 and 20 GW in 2020 in Cina
(CREIA, 2009).
In early 2010, a deal was signed or at least 2 GW o CSP to be constructed in Cina by 2020, wit installation o terst 92 MW to begin in 2010 (Renewable Energy World, s..).
CHINA
WIND Installed capacity– Cina is te world’s largest market, wit 13.8 GW added in 2009, more tan one-tird o te global
market.– Wind capacity was doubled in 2009 in pursuit o an ambitious target o installing 30 GW o wind by
2020.
Domestic industry capacity– Large-scale wind market is taking sape rapidly and te domestic industry is booming.
– Cina remains te largest market or small wind turbines (2009).SOLAR Installed capacity
– Total capacity o 305 MW in 2009 (1/3 provided by independent producers’ o-national grid).– Major imbalance between PV production and domestic market. however, rapid epansion planned,
setting up ambitious mid-term targets or domestic market, 1,800 MW installed capacity by 2020.
Domestic industry capacity– PV industry has been growing rapidly; China is the world’s leading ¬manufacturer of solar
potovoltaic panels, wit more tan 40% sare o global PV cell production in 2009 and about 50%in 2010.
– 95% o production is eported.– Most raw materials and equipment are imported.

Sut Arica
Sout Arica’s accumulative installed capacity or solar and wind tecnologies is very low despite abundant resources
potentials and a national renewable energy eed-in tari. Tere are only two wind arms in operation providing a capacity
o 3.2 and 5.2 MW respectively. Solar energy applications are concentrated to domestic solar ot water eating, a
strong sector tat as received support troug local mandates in Cape Town and a programme rom te national
utility, Eskom. Te City o Cape Town solar water eating mandate is under consideration to be adopted at te nationallevel. Renewables ave a dicult playing eld, as tey orced to compete wit ceaper conventional uels, like coal,
also in abundance in Sout Arica. In addition, Eskom, te only utility in soutern Arica, enjoys a monopoly in te

This section collects inormation rom the major project developers and project nanciers in
each country about their data requirements or risk management o solar and wind energy
projects. The section analyses the most infuential barriers to investments in renewable
energy technologies in the three countries such as renewable energy capacity, research
and development, installation and maintenance, nancial risks and initial costs.
Summary Prject Develpers ad Fiaciers i Eac Cutry
BRAZIL
– Ranked sixth worldwide in investment in renewable energy (2009); total of US$ 7,400 million.
– Wind project developers made use o te eisting wind energy resource assessment tat indicates te besteconomic conditions are in te Norteast and Sout regions.
– Wind and solar energy policies ave encouraged investment by companies mainly in wind energy (no investmentsin large PV).
– hig-quality domestic industrial capacity to produce wind turbines.
– Traditionally dominated by just one turbine manuacturer, Wobben Enercon, several oter international playersave entered te Brazilian market, including Vestas, Suzlon and IMPSA.
– Tere are no national manuacturers on te PV market in Brazil, dominated by small PV systems.
– Companies epect to see new renewable energy policy measures resulting rom Brazil’s National Action Planon Climate Cange and suggest policies ocus on bringing down te cost o renewable power generation, e.g.troug a special tari, renewable energy credits, or reduced transmission costs or smaller renewable energygenerators (REEEP, 2010).

WIND Tere are a large number o wind arm developers and two main wind arm nanciers.
SOLAR Main developers and nanciers are municipalities and provincial governments or solar water eater roll-
out programs.
– Ranked seventeent worldwide in overall investment in renewable energy (2009) total o 125 million US$.
– Te Renewable Energy Feed-in Tari (2009) is canging investment patterns, owever tere is uncertainty abouthow it will be applied; technology-specic measures not favoured. By the end of 2010, large number of wind
arms, large scale PV and CSP plants as proposed REFIT projects but no Power Purcase Agreements (PPA)were signed under te REFIT. Main stumbling blocks are te development o mutually acceptable PPAs and teselection criteria used to assess and rank project proposals.
– Industry would like to see R&D support, simplication of planning consents, renewable energy targets and in-
country support or CDM project development (REEEP 2010).
– Many nancial institutions willing to provide loans or RE projects.
Eac o te tree countries ave done consultations wit solar and wind energy companies, nanciers and developers
to study te most infuential risk criteria rom teir point o view suc as te availability o resource inormation, standard
approval or integration capacity o te eisting grid.
In 2009 Cina was ranked tird among G-20 nations, wit 0.79 percent, and Brazil ort, wit 0.37 percent, in clean
energy investment intensity (clean energy investment as a percentage o gross domestic product) (Figure 19). Te ve-

Te main PV solar energy project developers in Brazil are located in te Sout and Souteast regions o te country.
Most o te PV systems developers are electricity utilities and researc institutes. All o te systems installed are small
and used or demonstration or educational purpose. Water eating is a major application o solar energy in Brazil.
Government incentive programs were created to promote large-scale use o solar water eating systems. Te major
barrier to increase te adoption o solar water eating system is linked to te lack o inormation on tis tecnology.
