FLUXYS EXPERIENCE TOWARDS LIBERALIZATION P. Wailliez - COO Fluxys
A strong acceleration % 100 90 2010 2006 2002 FL Gas 07/2003 80 Decree 70 2001 B Gas Law 60 50 1999 B Gas Law 40 30 20 1998 EU GAS 10 Directive 0 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 MARKET OPENING IN BELGIUM: a unique example in Europe Less than 6 months between decision& implementation
TOWARDS MORE COMPLEXITY / UNCERTAINTY • Regulation • Actors • Market and Network • Costs
TOWARDS MORE COMPLEXITY / UNCERTAINTYRegulation BEFORE • Clear Objectives • Infrastructures enablingGas Market Development • Continuity of Supply • Safety
TOWARDS MORE COMPLEXITY / UNCERTAINTY Regulation NOW • Same clear objectives but • Regulators at Federal& Regional level in Belgium • Risk of regulatory pancaking • Important impact on: • Value creation • Complexity(potential dis-optimization)
TOWARDS MORE COMPLEXITY / UNCERTAINTY Regulation THEREFORE • Take initiative • Unbundling • Publishing Tariffs • Coordinate modalitiesof opening with Distributors.
TOWARDS MORE COMPLEXITY / UNCERTAINTYActors BEFORE • Integration • Non-detrimental Decisions for Transport(molecule decisions taking into account network integrity)
TOWARDS MORE COMPLEXITY / UNCERTAINTYActors NOW • Transport not underthe umbrella of incumbent(incumbent decisions not granted) • Revenues(tariff hypothesis <> reality) • Continuity of Supply(network integrity <> portfolio optimization)
TOWARDS MORE COMPLEXITY / UNCERTAINTYActors THEREFORE • Anticipate shippers Behavior & Needs • Careful design of Access Rules.
TOWARDS MORE COMPLEXITY / UNCERTAINTYMarket and Network BEFORE • Long-term contracts& Easy forecasts • Infrastructure Developed around Contracts
TOWARDS MORE COMPLEXITY / UNCERTAINTYMarket and Network NOW • Shorter Terms& Uncertainties • Infrastructure Projectsnot tied to Molecule
TOWARDS MORE COMPLEXITY / UNCERTAINTYMarket and Network THEREFORE Develop • Performant Forecasting Tools • Probabilistic above Deterministic Approach.
TOWARDS MORE COMPLEXITY / UNCERTAINTYCosts BEFORE • Transport costs includedin Commercial Margins
TOWARDS MORE COMPLEXITY / UNCERTAINTYCosts NOW • Revenues models not always favouring an Entrepreneurial Behaviour • Deregulation <> Optimisation
TOWARDS MORE COMPLEXITY / UNCERTAINTYCosts THEREFORE Further develop • Cost Consciousness • Customer-mind and Innovations
Be Proactive & Innovative! TOWARDS MORE COMPLEXITY / UNCERTAINTY Regulation - Actors - Market and Network - Costs One Example: Hub in Zeebrugge (and this happened before Liberalization)

Be Proactive & Innovative! TOWARDS MORE COMPLEXITY / UNCERTAINTY Regulation - Actors - Market and Network - Costs One Example: Hub in Zeebrugge (and this happened before Liberalization) One Example: Hub in Zeebrugge (and this happened before Liberalization) (would have this happened after Liberalization ?)
Liberalization: Fluxys experience CommunicationFlows ? ? HUB IN EUROPE : WHAT’S NEXT? Criteria: • Interconnected Grid • Access to Sources • Flexible & Willing Operator • Market Driven Generation A new Challenge : Harmonization of Business Practices for [multi-] Hubs Trading (EU Standard) & avoid Temptation of sub-Regional Behaviours
