General principles of pricing of energy
- Primary fuels
- Supply-demand fundamentals
4
- Supply
- Cost of extraction
- Transport costs
- Limited resource stocks
- Cartels
- Policy
- Etc.
- Demand
- Economic growth
- Availability of
substitutes
- Policy
- Etc.
- Expectations on both sides
- Prospects on new - undiscovered – reserves
- Political unrest
- Speculation
General principles of pricing of energy Oil
- Can be transported relatively easily
- Pipelines, tankers
- Global market
- Quality (e.g., gravity ‘API’ and sulfur content) and costs of
delivery affect price
- West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent
5
- Transport through pipelines, liquefied to be transported by
ship (LNG)
- Long term contracts
- When dedicated infrastructure still being developed
- Indexed on oil price
- To guarantee pay-back
- Hub-based prices
- E.g., NBP, Zeebrugge, Henry hub
6
General principles of pricing of energy Natural Gas
- Significant differences between regions globally
- US < EU < Asia
- Dependent on market structure and transport costs
- Good convergence among European hub’s
- Gas-to-gas competition
- Liquid markets
- Good physical interconnections
- Also renegotiation of long-term contracts
- More to hub-based
- Availability of LNG infrastructure

- Wholesale markets
- Price set by supply – demand intersection
- Instantaneous balance continuously changing price
- Peak, off-peak, specific profiles
- National character
- Interconnections and market coupling

General principles of pricing of energy
- Outlook
- Global politics and economic developments
- Reserves?
- Unconventional hydrocarbons
- Impact on prices for fossil fuels worldwide
- Coal, LNG
- International climate agreement?

Oil
16
Decomposition of energy retail prices Oil
- Program agreement between the Belgian government and
the Belgian Petroleum Federation on maximum prices for
- il products (end use)
- Most common fuels: gasoline, diesel, LPG and heating oil
- Components
- Price ex-refinery
- Maximum gross margin on distribution
- Public levies
- Taxes and VAT
17
- Components
- Price ex-refinery
- Energy component
- Linked to price quotes of finished products on Rotterdam market
- Influenced by international price for crude, exchange rate €/$, the
supply/demand for finished products (e.g., affected by refinery capacity)
- Maximum gross margin on distribution
- Chain from refinery to end-user
18
Decomposition of energy retail prices Oil
- Components (cntd)
- Public levies
- APERTA levy
- Contribution for agency for petrol maintain strategic oil reserves
- BOFAS levy
- Fund for soil remediation
- Taxes and VAT
- Excise tax [€/l]
- 21% VAT on sum of all the above (including excise tax)

Natural Gas
23
- Consider following consumers (following CREG report)
- Household (“T2”)
- Natural gas 23,260 kWh/y
- Professional consumers (“T4”)
- Natural gas 2,300,000 kWh/y
- Evolution of price from January 2007 till May 2013

- Energy component
- Component based on index parameters
- Oil-indexation phasing out
- Indexation formula changes not frequently
- Prize ‘freeze’ between April 2012 – December 2012
- As from 2013, changes (indexation) in variable pricing
contracts require approval regulator CREG (ex-post)
- +9.74 €/MWh (+229.86 €/y; +36.29%)
- Due to evolution index parameters
32
Decomposition of energy retail prices Natural Gas
- Transmission tariff
- Fluxys transmission tariff
- Uniform (T2 and T4)
- Rather stable
34

- Covering distribution costs
- Some new tariffication elements
- Price evolution:
- Flanders +3.75 €/MWh (+37.71%)
- Walloon region: +5.34 €/MWh (+32.42%)
- Brussels: +2.56 €/MWh (+23.34%)
35
Decomposition of energy retail prices Natural Gas
- Public levies
- Minor component
- Strongly dependent on region and DSO
- Energy tax and VAT
- Energy tax: 0.99 €/MWh
- VAT of 21% on sum of all components (incl. tax)

Electricity
37
- Consider following consumers (following CREG report)
- Household (“Dc”)
- Electricity 3,500 kWh/y
- Professional consumers
- Electricity 160,000 kWh/y, low voltage (“Ic”)
- Electricity 160,000 kWh/y, medium voltage (“Ic1”)
- Evolution of price from January 2007 till May 2013

Final reflections
- Final price – domestic consumer
- Natural gas: 60-70 €/MWh
- Electricity: 200-230 €/MWh
- Gasoline (36 MJ/l): 1.712 €/l = 171 €/MWh
- Diesel (36 MJ/l): 1.451 €/l = 145 €/MWh
- LPG (26 MJ/l): 0.599 €/l = 83 €/MWh
- Heating oil (36 MJ/l): 0.813 €/l = 81 €/MWh
