Current VS Intended situation of the Greek electricity market Asymmetry
Transforming optimism to realism: Restructuring of the Greek electricity market RAE’s roadmap, November 2012 Ministerial Council’s Act, July 2013 Transitory Measures • Modification of wholesale market rules • NOME type products (third party access to lignite energy) • Small PPC • Strategic investor in PPC • TSO’s ownership unbundling Long Term Permanent Status • Adaptation to EU’s target model
Modification of wholesale market rules To be elaborated and defined by the Regulator ensuring short, medium and long term capacity adequacy and response to peak demand in a cost effective way and in compliance with relevant EU guidelines.
NOME-type procedures • NOME-type procedures aim at opening the retail market. • No impact on power plants’ financials. • NOME-type procedures shall ensure third-party access to energy produced by lignite-fired plants owned and operated by PPC and not directly to the plants. • NOME is a transitional measure to be abolished by the time small PPC is transferred to third party ownership.
Small PPC Recent Draft Law for selling 30% of PPC • In principle, positive move, towards real energy market liberalization. • Should aim to create symmetric competition in generation, leading • to long term competition in retail and lower prices to the consumer. Issues TBD: • Inclusion of PPC’s lowest efficiency CCGT in the package • Forced transfer of consumers instead of voluntary - competition driven - change of supplier (should already be realized through NOME if successfully designed)
