ERGEG consultation on a draft framework guideline for gas balancing Madrid Forum, 27/28 September 2010 Pamela Taylor, Head of European Strategy, Ofgem
The vision Balancing framework guidelines– key to market design (not just technical rules)
Shipper and TSO roles and responsibilities • TSO pro • How can we reduce the role of the TSO and increase that of the market?
TSO information provision obligations • TSO pro • Should the network code oblige TSOs to provide information beyond the requirements set out in the new Annex to the Gas Regulation?
Balancing periods • TSO pro • Is the target model sufficiently harmonised? • How to manage within-day constraints on the networks?
TSO Procurement of balancing services • TSO pro • Do you agree with the target model? • Is it appropriate for balancing platforms to be part of the target model subject to NRA approval?
Imbalance charges • Do methods for calculating imbalance charges need to be harmonised? • What incentives do shippers need?
Cross-border cooperation • TSO pro • Are there any other relevant policy options that should have been included in this section?
Thank you! The consultation document can be found on www.energy-regulators.eu and we look forward to your responses.
