3rd SG Meeting – Gas Regional Initiative (GRI)Region South-South East 22 January 2008Prague, Czech Republic
SG meeting agenda – 1 Covered in detail later
2. Update of all stakeholders on progress made • Outline of current priorities • Priority I: Best-practice standardised bulletin board • Priority II: Summary of planned investments (incl. Storage) • Priority III: Conclusion of OBA/IPA at interconnection points • Priority IV: Best practice provision of one-stop-shop (OSS) service • Priority V: Regional entry exit tariff system (REETS) • Priority VI: Hub development as a regional balancing market
Priority I: Best-practice standardised bulletin board • GRI REM SSE started work on standardised trading platforms for transmission capacity on all major transmission systems of the region, which is expected to facilitate secondary market trading for shippers. • Aim: A harmonized content for individual TSO platforms according to examples provided by TAG as ‘best practice’. The platforms are expected to be ready by end of 2007. • Responsibility for implementation: TSOs, update at IG meeting in October 2007, further implementation until December 2007. • Update to be provided today!
Priority II: Summary of planned investments (incl. Storage) • GRI REM SSE started work in the summary of planned investments in the region which shall identify future bottlenecks and help improving congestion management. • GRI REM SSE has circulated a questionnaire to TSOs, SSOs and NRAs. A first analysis of responses has been presented at the last IG meeting in Maribor. • Aim: To include information on expansion projects (Transmission & Storage) into the survey as well, cross-check with eg GSE database. • Responsibility for data analysis: RCC. Next steps: re-circulation of questionnaire to all stakeholders with a request to check the data and re-submit any missing data items. • Update to be provided today!
Priority III: Conclusion of OBA/IPA at interconnection points • GRI REM SSE started work on removing obstacles to the implementation of IPA/OBA. • GRI REM SSE involved stakeholders work on a solution for the implementation of an OBA at Baumgarten including a list of remaining obstacles. • Progress made: - Murfeld and Gorizia: conclusion of IPA/OBA ?- Baumgarten: CEGH to coordinate with TSOs to conclude IPA/OBA • Responsibility: TSOs, shippers; CEGH • Update to be provided today!
Priority IV: Best practice provision of one-stop-shop (OSS) service • GRI REM SSE worked in ensuring market integration via simplification how gas can be shipped both within the region and across the region; role model for the whole of the EU. • GRI REM SSE agreed with TSOs that they will provide with services on request of shippers for the whole transportation route and/or at certain interconnection points. • Aim: TSOs offer OSS service to shippers who request it, cross-reference to transparency platform (GTE pilot project) and best practice cases of OSS (e.g. OMV, www.gatrac.com). • TSOs of the region are invited to join the GATRAC platform. • EFET to circulate their paper on a Regional ISO for comments. • Update to be provided today!
Priority V: Regional entry exit tariff system (REETS) • GRI REM SSE started work on a simulation of regional entry-exit tariff system and its impacts. • GRI REM SSE is working on promotion of a more cost reflective transportation pricing systems and easier market access for new shippers through a regional entry exit tariff system; role model for the whole of the EU. • Presentation of benchmarking results and simulation of introduction of REETS at the IG meeting in Maribor. • Next steps: AEEG to circulate REETS simulation study to stakeholders for comments • Responsibility: RCC • Update to be provided today!
Priority VI: Hub development as a regional balancing market • GRI REM SSE worked on introducing a back up/ back down service, day ahead products, and web-based nominations among other initiatives. • Aim: Develop hub(s) to be regional balancing points. • Progress made: - PSV: implementation of independent Market Operator for the balancing point, RCC to monitor implementation according to Action Plan.- CEGH: implementation of back-up/back-down services, RCC to monitor implementation according to Action Plan. • Next steps: Update on implementation of next steps by March 2008. • Responsibility: CEGH/EFET, PSV/EFET • Update to be provided today!
