Regulatory and development framework:the key role of TSO cooperation Hervé MIGNON RTE (France) Sopot, November 28th, 2011
The European challenges The implementation of two strong political decisions • a new electricity generation mix (low carbon economy, German nuclear phase-out…) • an integrated internal electricity market (e.g. market coupling) requires • a highly integrated set of binding technical, economical and commercial rules • adequate tools to develop key infrastructures
European energy choices Towards a low carbon economy
New challenges for the technical integration of renewables New areas for wind and solar generation A summer week in Germany… wind solar generation New hydro solar wind
Huge plans for offshore wind and the corresponding subsea infrastructure
A new legal tool for pan-European grid planning: the Ten-Year Network Development Plan (‘TYNDP’) 2010-2014 2015+ The identification of all investment needs of –pan-European significance for the next 10 years
Pilot TYNDP delivers Transmission investment projects that answer the three pillars of EU energy policy: • Security of Supply • Integration of renewable energy • The completion of the IEM Based on a strong economic assessment
The development of « network codes » • Network codes developed by ENTSO-E to become pieces of the European legislation • Covering all relevant aspects in the technical and commercial fields • Defining a consistent economical framework for investment decisions • Already well advanced, to be achieved by 2014 A degree of integration unique in the world
A key for success: the cooperation between TSOs • Strong role of TSOs in the power system and market design (e.g. ENTSO-E in Europe) • Deep knowledge of the vital constraints and of possible solutions • Long experience of cooperation between neighbors… necessary to keep the lights on A role for regional TSO associations
