Pathways to regional energy transition in the Mediterranean area - Abu Dhabi, 9 September 2019

Med-TSO & the multilateral cooperation

Albania - OST Algeria – SONELGAZ, GRTE, OS Croatia - HOPS Cyprus – Cyprus TSO Egypt - EETC France - RTE Greece - ADMIE Israel - IEC Italy - TERNA Jordan – NEPCO Libya – GECOL Morocco - ONEE Montenegro - CGES Palestine - PETL Portugal - REN Spain - REE Slovenia - ELES Tunisia - STEG Turkey - TEIAS

• 21 members from 19 Mediterranean countries
• About 500 million people served
• Almost 544.000 MW installed capacity
• Around 400.000 km transmission lines
• More than 1,600 TWh electricity consumption

Growth of demand & investments in gas & RES (*) TSOs called to adapt to this new context Reinforced cooperation within the interconnected power systems

Med basin: one of the most sensitive areas to climate change All countries involved in the energy transition

Exploiting PS complementarities

▪ Seasonal (North/South) & hourly (East/West) complementarities ▪ Structural differences in the generation mix ▪ Interconnections are key for complementarities (pooling resources)

6

The current limited and inefficient interconnection level is a barrier for enabling energy transition in the region

Fostering market integration

Physical connections (HW)

• Shared scenarios
• Agreed planning methodologies &

CBA

• Sound & Transparent Legal

Framework for investments

Interoperability (SW) for new & existing interconnections

• Harmonized security criteria and

rules (Technical Network Codes)

• Operation Coordination
• Technology development

HV Network development key enabler for power system integration & market(*) implementation

7

(*)“market”: increase energy exchanges based on complementarities and shared resources

Med-TSO current workplan (MP1 & 2)

8

• How to optimize the use of the existing interconnections
• Assess the possibility to build new lines

Scope: improve the integration of the Mediterranean PS

• Common technical rules for accessing the grid, operating the

systems and sharing resources (Mediterranean grid code)

• Mediterranean Masterplan
• Common web platform on transparency and technical data

Core activities

Bottom-up approach EU support: MP1 and MP2

The Mediterranean Master Plan 2018

• Network studies, within the Mediterranean Master Plan, evaluate the technical

feasibility of new interconnection capacity verifying that the increased flows maintain the system in security conditions.

• 14 interconnection projects identified and assessed

18.000 MW new interc. capacity 16.000 MEUR investments
