  7. 3. Way Forward CAM and CMP Framework Guideline on capacity allocation • May 2010: Publication of evaluation of responses and revised Framework Guideline Recommendations on comitology guidelines for congestion management • Stakeholders are invited to comment on CMP comitology guidelines by 31 March 2010 • Revision of Guidelines and submission to the European Commission by June 2010

  8. 4. Mercados - Weaknesses

  9. 4. Mercados - Recommendations

  10. 4. Work Programme • Regional Wholesale Trading • Market Integration • Transparency

  11. 4. Regional Wholesale Trading GRI-SSE-RWT-1: Trading Points • facilitation of access to the virtual trading point for the gas market South-East • national consumer markets and transit market should be technically and administratively merged • national trading points to be established • Entry/Exit Systems to be implemented in all markets of the GRI SSE GRI-SSE- RWT-2: Improvement of Hub-to-Hub Trading • facilitation of Hub-to-Hub Trading • harmonisation between the hubs GRI-SSE- RWT-3: Regional Balancing Services • Common balancing arrangements • Coordination and compensation of imbalances (TSOs coordinate to allow shippers to offset their imbalances in one zone against those in another) • Criteria for the definition of balancing areas

  12. 4. Market Integration GRI-SSE-MI-1: IP Assessment • implementation of an Operational Balancing Agreement • template for reproduction at those Interconnection Points in the SSE GRI-SSE-MI-2: Monitoring of Implementation of OBAs at other IPs GRI-SSE-MI-3: Reverse Flow Investments • Tendering of the projects themselves, and • Cost allocation for the remaining part of the investments GRI-SSE-MI-4: MS’ improvement of Regional Solidarity • GRI SSE RCC to serve as assisting body to development of regional Emergency plans GRI-SSE-MI-5: TSO Regional 10 Year Network Development Plan (2011) • Regional 10 Year Network Development Plan will follow one year after each publication of the Europe-wide plan

  13. 4. Transparency GRI-SSE-T-1: Monitoring of data delivery (GTE+ Transparency Platform) • The RCC will constantly monitor the data quality and completeness provided by the TSOs and encourage TSOs to improve data provision GRI-SSE-T-2: Monitoring of data quality for GSE Platform • The RCC will constantly monitor the data quality and completeness provided by the SSOs.

  14. Cost recovery mechanisms • No market demand for SoS investments • These investments will not be born by costumers via regular mechanism • New mechanisms needed • New mechanism with ability to cope with different situations • Small / large investments • Reverse flow projects • One, two or several countries benefiting from SoS Investment • Evolving needs of countries GIE position on cost recovery of infrastructure for SoS CZ

  15. Principles that should be obeyed Mechanism should apply cross-Europe Mechanism should be able to cope with evolving requirements of SoS Cost recovery mechanism should not be limited to reverse flows and take into account all SoS investments Ultimately, end-users of benefiting countries should fully bear the cost TSOs should not bear the risk of SoS investment GIE position on cost recovery of infrastructure for SoS

  16. Some suggestions Need full clarity on the mechanism for cost-recovery if two or more MS involved Possibilities for cost recovery mechanisms (no market demand) • Stay as close as possible to current schemes Take into account shippers responsibility for providing gas – consider a public service obligation to contract capacity for non-market events • Investments in SoS are more policy-driven  Involve Member States in capacity booking • TSOs book capacity through open season  Further refinement needed to cope with involvement of several MS GIE position on cost recovery of infrastructure for SoS

  17. Suggestions for involvement of more than 2 MS GIE position on cost recovery of infrastructure for SoS Efficiency of Multi-lateral/Regional/European Mechanism: • SoS provider claims costs to a central organism  • Central organism claims costs to benefiting countries Precise determination of means needed – further elaboration on mechanism should be done

  18. 6. IP Arnoldstein / Tarvisio On 10 march 2010 a meeting gatheringTAG GmbH, SNAM Rete Gas, and AEEG, ECG has been organized to assess the status of the IPA process TAG GmbH presented a proposal for an Interconnection Point Agreement (IPA) to SNAM Rete Gas (SRG) to define some technical issues to be tackled. The main argument of the IPA is the Operational Balancing Account (OBA) and the relevant imbalance tolerance.

  19. 6. IP Arnoldstein / Tarvisio SNAM’s preliminary assessment SNAM identified four important issues to be faced to introduce the OBA: • Modify the current practice in use at Italian Customs offices for accounting of imported gas volumes; • Increased SNAM Rete Gas storage capacity needs to manage the differences between nominated and measured volumes; • Possible amendment to be proposed to the Italian Network Code and balancing rules: • Management of the imbalance volumes “nomination/measured” if exceeding a certain tolerance.

  24. 8. Practical Implications for Implementation of OBAs A challenging Interconnection Agreement…..

  25. Nomination and matching at the Interconnection Point Baumgarten:A challenging Interconnection Agreement GRI SSE Implementation Group Meeting 26/03/2010 - Milano

  26. Interconnection Point Agreement is not only about OBAs • The IPA states the technical and operational conditions between the adjacent TSOs (EASEE-gas CBP 2005/002-02):

  27. Baumgarten IPA Issues with the matching process: Units and gas day

  28. Issues: how to transform slovak nominations (Sm3/d) in EASEE-gas CBP standard? (kWh/h) 3 GCV forecast (one for each downstream system (OGG, TAG, BOG)) Transforming Nm3(15°) into Sm3(20°) 8.00 to 8.00 day vs 6.00 to 6.00 Solutions: All TSOs agreed on a common forecast GCV. Based on this GCV, eustream transforms its shipper´s nominations into kWh for matching. Austrian TSOs provide eustream with the calculation in Sm3(20°) as an additional information+ defined kWh based on Nm3(15°) as the reference. Austrian TSOs request their shippers for 6.00 to 8.00 nominations. The „lesser rule“ hourly matching, the 2h renomination lead time and the OBA between the TSOs allow the compatibility with eustream´s daily matching. Two different unit systems, 2 different gas days Slovakia: Sm3(20°C) – 8.00 to 8.00 Austria: kWh based on forecasted GCV – 6.00 to 6.00.

  29. Issues in matching process: Matching the nominations for each shipper pairs

  32. Solution choosen: hourly matching • Compatible with EASEE-gas CBP • The profiles on the Slovak and Austrian TSO network are relatively „flat“ (transit or compensated domestic) • Some shippers on eustream already send an hourly profiled nomination for information.

  33. Impact of the decision Typical transit profile or balancing-compensated domestic profile Hourly matching = + Baumgarten Slovakia Austria Typical non balancing-compensated end-consumer profile = +

  34. = + Matched Slovak Side Austrian Side Impact of the decision: lesser rule • Eustream might „shape“ the incoming flow based on history and compensate small deviations within the dayly balancing mechanism + use the lead time from 6.00 to 8.00.

  35. Matching process:Matching between the systems, integration of CEGH trading platform

  36. Possible nominations at the SK/AT border March/Morava: limit of responsibility between the TSOs Baumgarten station 2,3 km Q2 MS3 Q´2 WAG ICP BOG Flange trading OTC or Gas exchangeCEGH trading Q´1a Combination of CEGH trading Q1 Q´1b Eustream OMV ICP OMV Gas MS1 MS4 TAG ICP Q3 Q´4 TAG The CMA has been tasked by the TSOs to check the consistency of all nominations at the SK/AT border, within the technical limits set by the TSOs MS2

  37. Summary: TSO allowed flexibility for trading parties • Within the Interconnection Point Agreement Baumgarten the 4 TSOs (eustream, TAG, OGG, BOG) and the CEGH established the procedures : • Keeping open both possibilities for trade on the CEGH trading Platform (OTC or exchange) or on the flange. the trading parties can freely determine what is their preferred trading solution. • Allowing to compensate the different regimes for balancing and units. These regimes derive on the one hand from the legal framework (authorities and NRA). But also are not independant on the terms of the trade contracts (between trading parties, e.g gas day definition in the trade contract).

  38. 8. IPAs with OBAs – Next Steps • NRAs and TSOs could cooperate by forming “Project Teams” in order to discuss given issues and barriers for the implementation at their respective Interconnection Points. • Experience from the IP Baumgarten and, in the future, form the IP Arnoldstein-Tarvisio, as well as other successful implementations, may serve as templates. • The GRI SSE will constantly support and monitor the implementation of Interconnection Point Agreements containing OBAs
