--# : For the report the relevant parts of this page seem to be the question, answer and first two t2b:s in the rationale. The rest of the tables are all different versions of the same table that tells the prices of the fuels, from different sources. Why are there so many of these tables on this page in the first place? Has someone cross-checked the values in all the tables? --Heta (talk) 11:46, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

This page includes prices for electricity, district heating, liquid fuels and consumer prices of hard coal, natural gas and domestic fuels in heat production in Finland. all data is based on knowledge of Statistics Finland In the end of data section there will be also data for maintenance and investment costs!!

Data

Prices for fuels

A previous version was based on several info sources [1]. However, this resulted in inconsistent prices between fuels. Now the table is simplified and made more robust using IEA estimates VTT-R-03704-14_YDINPAP_(1) page 8, with the cost of accuracy. There should be an expert panel discussing the interdependencies of fuel prices to get the correct order.

Fuel prices(€ /MWh)
Obs	Fuel	1985	1995	2005	2015	2025	2035	2045	2055	2065	Description
1	Coal	8.5	9.41	13.78	20	15	15	15	15	15

5	Crude oil	14.3	25	32	52	54	61	68	75	82	Same as oil.
6	Fuel oil	14.3	25	32	52	54	61	68	75	82	Same as oil.

14	Cooling	30.8	30.8	40.4	53.99	63	63	65	65	68	Same as heat

All prices are in 2015 euros.

Coal, Gas/Natural Gas, Light oil and Bio/Biofuel and Peat data from Statistics Finland^[1]. Bio/Biofuel stands for wood chips.

Oil prices from U.S. Energy Information Administration^[2]. All values converted first to 2015 dollars (inflation correction) and then to 2015 euros using the current (21.7.2015) exchange ratio of 1 $ = 0.923 €. Price per barrel then converted to price per MWh presuming that the energy released by burning one barrel is about 5.8 x 10⁶ BTU = 1.7 MWh, U.S. Internal Revenue Service^[3].

Compound Annual Growth Rates (CAGR) for Coal, Gas/Natural Gas, Oil, Crude oil, Fuel oil, Heavy oil and Light oil from U.S. Energy Information Administration's "Annual Energy Outlook 2015 with projections to 2040" ^[4]. CAGR for Bio/Biofuel and Peat estimated to be 2 %, based on the price history.

Price of electricity [2].D↷

District heating data is based on the price for an apartment building (volume 10 000 m3, energy need 450 MWh/a). Data from Statistics Finland [3]. We assume that the price of district cooling is the same (although district cooling has been available only for a few years).

Uncertainties are assumed in the same way for all fuels: a certain percentage up and down from the best estimate, varying by year. The following uncertainties were used: 2025 5 %, 2035 10 %, 2045 15 %, 2055 20 %, 2065 30 %. It should be noted that uncertainties are different for different fuels, but we were unable to estimate fuel-specific uncertainties.

¹⁾ Hard coal: the price is based on the average import price (customs tariff CN 2701 12 90) plus taxes and charges as well as handling and transportation costs. Price on the coast: unloaded on wharf at customer's own harbour. Thermal value: 7,08 MWh/t.

²⁾ Natural gas: until 12/2000, average contract price. Since 3/2001, type of consumer T8, see table 7. The prices include an excise tax and a precautionary stock fee.Thermal value: 10,0 MWh/1000 m3.

³⁾ Peat: The prices are averages weighted by the deliveries of certain member companies of the Confederation of Peat Industries and, therefore, vary according to consumer dependingon the transportation distance and/or contract terms. The price of delivered peat includes a transportation distance of 100 km for milled peat and 50 km for sod peat. Until the second quarter of 2005 the prices include an excise tax, which applies to plants with an annual minimum peat consumption of 25 GWh. Thermal values: milled peat 0,9 MWh/m3, sod peat 1,4 MWh/m3.The price of delivered sod peat in the second quarter of 2008 is an estimate as there was not a sufficient number of deliveries.

⁴⁾ Fuel chips: Sample includes both forest residue chips and industrial wood residue chips. Delivered, transportation distance not specified. The prices are not valid for the whole country.

⁵⁾ Forest Chips: Enquiry definitions: Delivered, transportation distance 50 kilometres. Crushed stumps not included.Chipped/crushed product, sold on real markets (shipments within a corporate group not included). Nevertheless, includes small amounts of crushed stumps and unchipped shipments.

⁶⁾ Wood pellet for households, I-class, 6-8 mm, batch size 5 tons.

Cost of bioenergy is dependent on the form^[6]

Waste is assumed to be free
Agricultural residues have little market value currently and will likely remain half the price of energy wood
Estimated biomass price is 22 €/MWh in 2050 (plus 5-11€/MWh handling)
- Stumpage price currently 2 €/MWh
- Price to customer currently 9-23 €/MWh*
- Stricter sustainability criteria could raise this to about 50 €/MWh*
Energy wood price highly unlikely to exceed 50 €/MWh in 2050
Likely to be convergence between the price of energy wood and the price of pulpwood (stumpage price currently about 12 €/MWh)

 === Price without tax ===
-A previous version was based on several info sources [http://en.opasnet.org/en-opwiki/index.php?title=Prices_of_fuels_in_heat_production&oldid=38265]. However, this resulted in inconsistent prices between fuels. Now the table is simplified and made more robust using IEA estimates {{#l:VTT-R-03704-14_YDINPAP_(1).pdf}} page 8, with the cost of accuracy. There should be an expert panel discussing the interdependencies of fuel prices to get the correct order.

-Coal, Gas/Natural Gas, Light oil and Bio/Biofuel and Peat data from Statistics Finland<ref name="statfi">http://pxweb2.stat.fi/database/statfin/ene/ehi/ehi_fi.asp</ref>. Bio/Biofuel stands for wood chips.
+This page includes prices for electricity, district heating, liquid fuels and consumer prices of hard coal, natural gas and domestic fuels in heat production in Finland. all data is based on knowledge of [http://tilastokeskus.fi/til/ehkh/2009/04/index.html Statistics Finland] In the end of data section there will be also data for maintenance and investment costs!!
-Oil prices from U.S. Energy Information Administration<ref>http://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/PET_PRI_SPT_S1_A.htm</ref>. All values converted first to 2015 dollars (inflation correction) and then to 2015 euros using the current (21.7.2015) exchange ratio of 1 $ = 0.923 €. Price per barrel then converted to price per MWh presuming that the energy released by burning one barrel is about 5.8 x 10<sup>6</sup> BTU = 1.7 MWh, U.S. Internal Revenue Service<ref>http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-99-18.pdf</ref>.

+Uncertainties are assumed in the same way for all fuels: a certain percentage up and down from the best estimate, varying by year. The following uncertainties were used: 2025 5 %, 2035 10 %, 2045 15 %, 2055 20 %, 2065 30 %. It should be noted that uncertainties are different for different fuels, but we were unable to estimate fuel-specific uncertainties.
