  • The Green Paper: A European Energy Strategy – six points
  • 1. EFET supports the energy policy objectives of security of

supply, competitiveness and sustainable development.

  • 2. open and transparent traded wholesale markets are essential
  • 3. priority should be completion of the internal energy market, by
  • more effective unbundling of gas infrastructure operators from supply

affiliates.

  • enhanced collaboration between national regulators (including

powers to ensure the proper implementation of network unbundling, co-ordinated capacity allocation across borders etc…

  • The Green Paper: A European Energy Strategy – six points
  • 4. Improving access to interconnections within Europe, thus

widening and deepening the traded market, is the preferred route for mitigating regional upstream dominance.

  • 5. External energy policy should promote consistent EU relations

with energy producing nations and neighbouring transit countries

  • 6. Security of supply will be enhanced by more information

transparency, clearer security of supply standards and more

  • Regulation 1775/2005: Draft explanatory note on tariffs

EFET welcomes the explanatory note on tariffs. support the focus on non-discrimination and clarity in tariff calculations recognise that TSOs need to recover transparent, efficiently incurred costs; the regulated tariffs should allow this advise that market pricing means that capacity sold at different times may have different prices, but the regulated tariff should be the same for everyone - Implementation of 'same price for the same (primary) service' should not prevent secondary markets evolving achieving non-discriminatory tariffs is difficult if there are legacy arrangements, but there are several options to ensure that the tariffs for new entrants are not more than in the legacy agreements

  • Regulation 1775/2005: Draft explanatory note on tariffs

EFET suggests clarification of the relationship between regulated tariffs and their use in market-based pricing All primary capacity should normally be sold at the regulated tariff accept that the regulated tariff (not zero) should be the clearing price for capacity auctions when there is excess capacity If pipe-to-pipe competition were deemed to exist then (to attract users) the TSO would be expected to have a reserve/clearing price below the regulated tariff

  • Regulation 1775/2005: Capacity Allocation Mechanisms

EFET has written to the Commission to suggest 10 points to ensure non-discriminatory capacity allocation

  • 1. Consultation and TSO investment in sufficient capacity
  • 2. Provision of full information on capacity, flows etc…
  • 3. Regulators check historical arrangements
  • 4. Capacity is sold as a tradable right

=> address anomalies in historical arrangements

  • 6. Maximize available capacity offered to market

  • 8. Co-ordination at cross-border points
  • 9. Auction fairly allocates scarce capacity
  • 10. Consistent shorter-term sale on-line by the TSO

  • Regulation 1775/2005: Capacity Allocation Mechanisms

EFET has offered to participate in a workshop with GTE to establish improved practical ways to implement non-discriminatory Capacity Allocation and Congestion Management through market-based mechanisms with Regulatory oversight based on 1775/2005 EFET welcomes the emphasis on non-discrimination in the CAM and CMP explanatory notes. Allocation of capacity, whether it is an initial primary allocation or allocation procedures to cope with congestion, the allocation must treat all parties equally: "priority allocation of transmission or distribution capacities is incompatible with Community rules" SEC(2006) 547

  • Interoperability and

the inventory project

slide-22
SLIDE 22

22

  • Interoperability - the inventory project – suggested focus

Why can’t gas be readily transported, at transparent prices, to and from different international locations in the European transmission grid? Capacity is not always available; where there is a lack of transparency it can be impossible to know why access is refused. If genuine interoperabilty problems do exist then they must not be allowed to cause undue barriers to trade. Procedural problems should be tackled first. E.g. capacity sales processes (on line booking or auctions) of trans-border capacities by neighbouring TSOs should be co-ordinated, as has already started in the power market.

  • Gas Regional Initiative
slide-24
SLIDE 24

24

  • Gas Regional Initiative

This could be a practical way to help identify and remove the barriers to establishing a competitive market, but 1.The process must lead to convergence 2.The target must be ambitious, with lessons shared from successful hubs. all four regional market groups are important, but most practical trading experience is available in the NW region. EFET has set out specific hub priorities and improvements [1].

  • Gas Regional Initiative

At a pan-European level the priorities should be: information transparency effective unbundling to ensure non-discriminatory access to all services Addressing legacy agreements (mainly transit) to stimulate capacity trading Aiming for market-based daily balancing and within-day information.

  • Guidelines for Good Practice for Storage System Operators

EFET would remind the Forum about one issue; clause 1.3 of the GGPSSO, states that: “In the case of a SSO being part of a vertically integrated company, the SSO should draw up a document setting out all the terms and conditions relating to storage use by the affiliate company to be made available to the relevant national regulatory authority upon request by 1 September 2005.” …/ continued

  • Guidelines for Good Practice for Storage System Operators

Conclusion 18 of Madrid Forum 10 asked that: “relevant national authorities should analyse the arrangements between SSOs and affiliated or integrated supply businesses to ensure that these arrangements are fully consistent with fair and non-discriminatory access to storage by third parties” EFET asks what progress has been made on this issue to ensure that there can be non-discriminatory access to storage.

  • Guidelines for Balancing

EFET welcomes this consultation and will respond before June 20th

  • Europe needs to converge on market-based balancing –

this is missing from the guidelines.

  • Information provisions for market-based balancing is

inadequate in the proposed guidelines.

  • Where it is not yet practical to implement balancing

markets, the charges for balancing services must be based on efficiently incurred costs

…/ continued

slide-31
SLIDE 31

31

  • Guidelines for Balancing
  • There should be a clear Pan-European objective to

move towards balancing markets, and a recognition that the locally dominant supply companies will have a key role to play to achieve a successful transition.

  • The guidelines, rely too heavily on Regulation 1775 and

would benefit from clarification to avoid mis- interpretation or future interpretation arguments.

  • Some important issues, albeit detailed, addressed in

the previous consultation, ought to be included e.g: ex- post trading and use of linepack information.
