Select OECD-countries
Since the beginning of the COVID19 pandemic in early 2020, governments in Select OECD-countries have committed at least USD 355.50 billion to supporting different energy types through new or amended policies, according to official government sources and other publicly available information. These public money commitments include:
- At least USD 160.54 billion for unconditional fossil fuels through 139 policies (79 quantified and 60 unquantified)
- At least USD 38.86 billion for conditional fossil fuels through 31 policies (24 quantified and 7 unquantified)
- At least USD 56.49 billion for unconditional clean energy through 124 policies (90 quantified and 34 unquantified)
- At least USD 80.08 billion for conditional clean energy through 122 policies (98 quantified and 24 unquantified)
- At least USD 19.53 billion for other energy through 40 policies (26 quantified and 14 unquantified)

By energy type, Select OECD-countries committed at least USD 172.93 billion to oil and gas (at least USD 152.98 billion to unconditional oil and gas and at least USD 19.95 billion to conditional oil and gas).
In addition, Select OECD-countries committed at least USD 7.38 billion to coal (at least USD 2.64 billion to unconditional coal and at least USD 4.74 billion to conditional coal).
Further, no public money commitments identified for hydrogen based on fossil fuels.
Finally, Select OECD-countries committed at least USD 4.06 billion to multiple fossil fuels (at least USD 3.98 billion to unconditional multiple fossil fuels and at least USD 81.02 million to conditional multiple fossil fuels).
A considerably larger amount of public money committed to supporting the economy and people of Select OECD-countries through monetary and fiscal policies in response to the crisis may also benefit different elements of the energy sector. However, these values are not available from official legislation and statements and therefore are not included in the database. Meanwhile, in addition to monetary and fiscal measures, the database lists other policies and regulations that can also provide benefits to producers and consumers of different energy types.
These public money commitments are additional to many other government policies that had existed to support different energy types before the COVID19 pandemic.

The agreement is about installing a photovoltaic recharging point with energy storage capacity based on second-life lithium batteries that allows rapid recharging of electric vehicles. It will be specially designed for taxis, but its use will be open to other vehicles. The government grant will cover the photovoltaic installation, and specifically, the inverter, the control and monitoring systems, electrical installation and photovoltaic modules, among others. The telecommunications infrastructure necessary to connect the facility with the municipal optical fiber network will also be financed. The goal is for the charging point to be operational from December 1. This action, aimed at reducing C02 emissions, is part of the European Stardust project, which Navarra joined in October 2017. Through this project, 5.5 million will be invested in Pamplona in solutions aimed at increasing energy efficiency global, and improve the quality of life in Pamplona, as well as to stimulate the local economy and new business models. | https:/www.navarra.es/es/noticias/2020/10/06/el-gobierno-de-navarra-y-el-ayuntamiento-de-pamplona-colaboran-en-la-instalacion-de-un-punto-de-recarga-de-vehiculos-electricos?pageBackId=363032&back=true (Accessed 13 October 2020) |

It will be located in the Navarra Arena pavilion and will supply the neighborhood located within a radius of 500 meters. Energy management will be carried out through a citizen community, to which individuals, local authorities and small businesses can join. The goal is for the installation to be completed by early 2021. Located on the roof of the Navarra Arena pavilion, it will have 422 panels that represent a peak installed power of 168.8 kW, which will allow it to produce 210.00 kWh / year. All this will serve to reduce both C02 emissions (by 49,000 kg CO2 / year) and energy expenditure, to the point that users are expected to save more than 300,000 euros in 20 years, in the order of 20,000 euros the first year, a figure that will increase year after year. At the same time, the citizen community of renewable energy (CCER) will be articulated, which will be in charge of managing the installation. It is a group of legally constituted users, with voluntary and open participation, which can develop actions for the generation, distribution, supply and consumption of energy, and the provision of different energy services to members. Precisely, the Regional Government has opened a participatory process so that all those interested can take part in this initiative and benefit from the energy generated. The start-up of a citizen community of renewable energy (CCER) is in line with the objective of promoting distributed generation and self-consumption, contemplated in the Navarra 2030 Energy Plan and with the guidelines on ecological transition defined for the policies within the framework of the European Commission's Recovery Plan for Europe. | https://www.navarra.es/es/noticias/2020/10/07/el-gobierno-de-navarra-promueve-una-instalacion-fotovoltaica-para-el-autoconsumo-colectivo-en-el-navarra-arena?pageBackId=363032&back=true (Accessed 13 October 2020) |

The text establishes a new framework for future renewable installations that will be developed through auctions. In any case, participants will bid by offering the price they are willing to charge for the energy generated by the installation. The new remuneration framework will be aimed at new renewable power and will allow hybridization between technologies and will be compatible with storage. The new REER is also essential to comply with the decarbonisation commitments that Spain has made in the Paris Agreement and as a member state of the European Union. These commitments have been planned in the Integrated Climate Energy Plan (PNIEC) 2021-2030, which provides for the installation of around 60GW renewables in the next decade and which includes, among its measures, the development of this type of auctions. | https://www.miteco.gob.es/es/prensa/ultimas-noticias/el-gobierno-aprueba-el-real-decreto-de-subastas-para-aprovechar-todo-el-potencial-de-las-energ%C3%ADas-renovables-en-la-reactivaci%C3%B3n-econ%C3%B3mica/tcm:30-516131 (Accessed 3 November 2020) https://www.boe.es/diario_boe/txt.php?id=BOE-A-2020-13591 (Accessed 3 November 2020) |

It is a roadmap to move towards climate neutrality by the 2050 horizon, with intermediate milestones in 2030 and 2040. The route established in the Long-Term Decarbonization Strategy (ELP 2050) will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 90% by 2050 compared to 1990. The remaining 10% will be absorbed by carbon sinks. The ELP 2050 marks a route that will allow a final consumption of fully renewable energy by the middle of the century, which will increase the competitiveness of the Spanish economy and generate positive effects on health, biodiversity and adaptation to climate change. | https://www.miteco.gob.es/es/prensa/ultimas-noticias/el-gobierno-aprueba-la-estrategia-de-descarbonizaci%C3%B3n-a-largo-plazo-que-marca-la-senda-para-alcanzar-la-neutralidad-clim%C3%A1tica-a-2050/tcm:30-516141 (accessed 3 November 2020) https://www.miteco.gob.es/es/documentoelp_tcm30-516109.pdf (accessed 3 November 2020) https://www.miteco.gob.es/es/ministerio/servicios/participacion-publica/Estrategia_2050.aspx (accessed 3 November 2020) |

The Energy Transition is one of the three environmental goals of this plan. It accounts for 9% of the total resources and it is intended to move the economy towards a clear, stable and predictable normative framework which promotes private investment and renewable energies by developing a new auction system and support lines for innovative projects, with a clear commitment to floating offshore wind power. The concrete measures regarding the energy transition are: Massive deployment of the renewable generation park aimed at energy development, electrical infrastructures, promotion of smart grids and deployment of flexibility and storage, roadmap for renewable hydrogen and its sectoral integration and Just Transition Strategy. The Plan will be financed by the European Recovery Fund, but the Government has decided to advance in the next General State Budgets 27,000 million euros to this Plan. This will allow the execution of the Plan to be accelerated from the moment the State General Budgets are approved. Specifically, the European Recovery Fund will allow Spain to obtain financing for up to 140,000 million of which around 72,000 million will be disbursed in the form of transfers and the rest through loans. The European Recovery Fund consists of two instruments through which resources will be channelled: on the one hand, the Facility for Recovery and Resilience, which concentrates the bulk with 59,000 million in transfers, and on the other hand, the REACT-EU that allows our country to obtain financing for an amount of 12,400 million. | https://www.lamoncloa.gob.es/presidente/actividades/Paginas/2020/071020-sanchez_plan.aspx (Accessed 8 October 2020) https://www.lamoncloa.gob.es/serviciosdeprensa/notasprensa/presidencia/Paginas/2020/07102020_planrecuperacion.aspx (Accessed 8 October 2020) https://www.lamoncloa.gob.es/presidente/actividades/Documents/2020/07102020_PlanRecuperacion.pdf (Accessed 8 October 2020) |

The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has also established an oil and gas industry recovery task force. Annually, the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (C-NLOPB) issues calls for bids for exploration licenses in the province’s offshore zone. The sole criterion for selecting a winning bid is the total amount of money the bidder commits to spend on exploration of the parcel. The successful bidder is required to post a security deposit for 25 per cent of the work expenditure bid. If the bidder does not meet its work commitment, the security deposit is forfeit and the investment opportunity is lost. Under this new policy, forfeited security deposits can be reinvested into offshore exploration projects. | https://www.gov.nl.ca/releases/2020/exec/0924n02/ https://www.gov.nl.ca/releases/2020/exec/0925n03/ Accessed 28 September 2020 |

According to the Act, coal-fired power production in the country will come to an end no later than 2038. The law paves the way for a EUR 40 billion support programme for the economic transformation of coal regions and legislation to compensate coal plant operators for shutting down capacity. In particular, the Act stipulates that a total of EUR 4.35 billion in compensation will be paid for the planned shutdowns by 2030 (see separate entry in the Tracker). Further, the government would introduce adaptation payments for older workers in lignite mines and hard coal and lignite power plants who lose their jobs due to the coal exit plans, with a budget of up to EUR 5 billion by 2048. The Coal Phase-Out Act was passed 18 months after the issue of multi-stakeholder Coal Exit Commission's recommendations, so it has its roots well before the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis and government responses to it. The Act has implications for both coal and other energy types, hence it is classified here as "Other Energy". | https://www.bundesrat.de/SharedDocs/beratungsvorgaenge/2020/0301-0400/0392-20.html Accessed 27 July 2020 |

The Act stipulates that a total of EUR 4.35 billion in compensation will be paid for the planned shutdowns by 2030. Western German power company RWE will receive EUR 2.6 billion for shutting down its plants by the end of 2029. EUR 1.75 billion will go to operations in the eastern German district Lusatia, run by the Lausitz Energie Kraftwerk AG (LEAG). Part of the money will not go to LEAG itself but to a trustee confirmed by the government. The compensation does not change in case the operators shut down plants earlier than planned. The Coal Phase Out Act was passed 18 months after the issue of multi-stakeholder Coal Exit commission Recommendations, so it has its roots well before the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis and government responses to it. However, this measure is included in the Tracker as a new policy that involves a significant public expenditure. It is classified as "fossil conditional" because, despite the end goal of phasing out coal, it pays the polluters. | https://www.bundesrat.de/SharedDocs/beratungsvorgaenge/2020/0301-0400/0392-20.html Accessed 27 July 2020 |

These new rates were published after the Energy Regulatory Commission (Comisión Reguladora de Energía -CRE) approved a petition by the national electricity company to increase the costs to private electricity generators. The high and medium-transmission rates changed from 0.049 pesos to 0.2785 and 0.2586 pesos per KW/hr, an increase of 469 and 428%, respectively. The low-tension transmission rate was increased from 0.09799 pesos to 0.8928 pesos per KW/hr, an increase of 811%. The new transmission tariff, know as the "porteo estampilla y porteo térmico" will be applied to thermal plants as well as plantas de autoabastecimiento and renewables considered "legacy plants", meaning their licenses were given by the regulating commission before the Law for Electricity Industry ("Ley de la Industria Eléctrica - LIE).
