ENDESA (NYSE:ELE):
-- The Company estimates 19,535MW of total renewable capacity in
2009, 19% more than in 2004.
-- ENDESA intends to develop 3,100 MW of clean energy capacity in
Europe by 2009, of which 2,500 MW will be installed in Spain
and Portugal and 600 MW in Italy and France.
-- In Spain and Portugal, efforts to boost capacity to 9,289 MW
-a 38% increase from 2004- primarily entail new wind farms.
-- Roughly 30% of growth in planned capex over the next five
years will be to develop new renewable energy capacity.
ENDESA (NYSE:ELE) estimates that renewable energies will represent
38.5% of its total power generation mix by 2009. The Company expects
to have 19,535 MW of installed renewable capacity by then, up from
16,421 MW in 2004, a total increase including large hydro plants of
19%. Of this, 15,389 MW will be powered by water, 3,903 MW by wind and
243 MW by biomass and waste.
ENDESA has earmarked around Euro 2,100 million for its renewable
energy development plan, nearly 30% of total planned investment in
growth in 2005-2009.
The Company's Strategic Plan entails the addition of new renewable
capacity to achieve an appropriately diversified generation mix, which
underlines ENDESA's commitment to the environment and sustainable
development in the markets where it operates.
ENDESA aims to continue reducing the level of gas emission per KWh
produced in order to comply with the Kyoto Protocol. ENDESA's specific
emissions in Spain are now 27.5% lower than in 1990.
The company has achieved this reduction despite increasing output
by 120% over the same period. The target is a 35% reduction in
specific CO2 emissions by 2007 from 1990. By 2009, around 40% of
ENDESA's production plants will not release any type of pollutant gas
into the atmosphere.
Geographical breakdown of the plan
In Spain and Portugal, the Company's efforts to generate more
power using renewable energies will be particularly important. The aim
is to boost capacity to 9,289 MW -a 38% increase from 2004- primarily
through new wind farms. Renewable energies are expected to account for
35.2% of ENDESA's generation assets in Spain and Portugal by 2009.
The Company has earmarked roughly Euro 1,500 million for
investment in renewable energies, mainly in wind farms. While the bulk
of this investment will be made in Spain, ENDESA considers Portugal to
be an important market in which to expand in the field of renewable
energy ahead of the future integrated Iberian market. ENDESA currently
participates in several projects in Portugal (100 MW) and is
developing a further 60 MW of wind farm capacity.
In the rest of Europe, ENDESA intends to bring on stream more than
600 MW of renewable capacity in the period, 400 MW in Italy and 200 MW
in France. Planned investment for this is around Euro 600 million.
The Company considers the development of new renewable energy
capacity in Italy to be an investment opportunity that will enhance
its generation mix in that country. ENDESA currently has 20 MW of wind
farm capacity in Sardinia and recently signed a framework agreement
with Gamesa Energia by which it will acquire from this company wind
farms in Italy with a total installed capacity of 200 MW in a period
of three years. Furthermore, ENDESA has been awarded 100% of the
Italian company IDAS, owner of the development rights for three wind
farms in Sicily (Italy), with total installed capacity of 90.95MW.
In Latin America ENDESA sees scope for the development of new
projects in those countries where it already operates by contributing
its experience and know-how. It also hopes to develop the flexible
mechanisms envisaged by the Kyoto protocol in this region.
