  7. 3. Integration of Gazprom Export • Decision on invitation of Gazprom Export as observer on certain issues. • E.g. on South Stream • Participation during 5th SG meeting planned on the issue „South Stream“ and „Gas Crisis“.

  8. 4. Update on SSE Regulators Network Send all your input to Konstantin Heiller Konstantin.heiller@e-control.at, 0043124724810

  9. 4. Proposal for the integration and a broadening of the route assessment study • Aim: identify in more detail and in a more complete way which are the barrier for the integration of the market; • Provide an easy and timely updated set of information to the market on the main requirements and the main obstacles to enter each national market/balancing zone • Updating of all the information (progress made if any) • Add other routes? (Bulgaria, Romania, Greece) and map of all the interconnection between the member States • Focus on the way in each branch of the routes CMP, Secondary capacity market, UIOLI work – identify the opportunity of harmonizing them along the routes/within the region • Collect information to provide to the market player (template – enter the market administrative point of view – identify barrier to entry from a balancing zone perspective) • How to proceed?

  10. 4. Update on EWI project • Project cancelled. • Similar project will probably be done by GWG.

  24. 4. Updates on Recent National developments • Changes in legislation? • Changes in regulation? • Gas crisis? • Any other business? • What individual measures (short term and long term) were taken in your country to tackle the gas supply shortage?

  26. 4. Impact of gas crisis on EU MS & EC MS

  27. 4. Gas crisis – lessons learnt – 1 In general: Liberalized markets tend to cope better with supply disruptions • If the markets are allowed to function, even in emergency situations, the systems are capable to adapt more quickly • Transparent markets automatically increase security of supply as higher short term prices in a given area automatically attract different gas providers to that area Improving interconnections between markets • North-South connections • Interconnectors need to allow bidirectional gas flows • Southern corridor • Western Balkans connection

  28. Coordination between TSOs Better coordinated Gas Dispatching between TSOs would enable faster reaction to disruptions Regional, coordinated infrastructure planning and better regional market integration would make the system much more resilient Regional planning of infrastructure and modeling of “emergency” situations and their effects on the grid would help to identify high priority investment projects Developing storage capacities in line with market requirements Access to storage must be provided through transparent and non-discriminatory capacity allocation mechanisms and congestion management procedures European TSOs to supervise gas transit via Ukraine 4. Gas crisis – lessons learnt – 2

  29. 4. Improving interconnections between markets • North-South connections • Poland – Slovakia / Czech Republic • Slovakia – Hungary • Romania – Hungary • Germany – Italy, Slovenia (Tauern Gas Pipeline) Physical reverse flows • Romania, Bulgaria, to Greece and Turkey (LNG) The Southern corridor • Nabucco • South Stream Western Balkans connection • Hungary and Croatia • Bulgaria and Serbia • Gasification and connections to Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, BiH

  30. 5. Outlook • New ERGEG Working Group RIG • Chair: Josè Sierra (Spain) • GRI TF: D. Jamme (France) / C. Martinez (UK) • No part of Gas Working Group any longer • GWG representative in RIG • Ad hoc TF (within GWG) on Security of Supply issues

  31. 3. GRI SSE Work Programme 2009 • Main outcome of regional consultation: • Congestion Management • Application of UILOI mechanisms. • Establishment/Improvement of secondary capacity markets. • Involvement of all TSO’s in increasing transparency of price transfer details of secondary capacity. • Harmonisation of nomination procedures. • Abolish known and track hidden system bottlenecks in gas transfers. • Benchmark with GRI NW. • Improved TSO Cooperation • Settlement of OBAs/IPAs between all TSOs and SSOs. • Harmonisation of legal and operational procedures among all operators (TSOs, SSOs, LSOs) (including transparent TPA). • Harmonisation of regulatory framework to support TSO cooperation. • Regional TSO cooperation (R_ISO).

  32. 7. 1st Strategic Advisory Panel Meeting • Transparent, market oriented and regional balancing • Monitoring of implementation of ERGEG Guidelines. • Creation of a regional regulator to promote market development in the region. • Development of a “regional infrastructure” in the SSE area. • Analysis aimed at identifying the optimal size of balancing areas & appropriate balancing regimes. • Market oriented balancing market. • Easy and transparent access to storage facilities • Market oriented and transparent storage instead of strategic storage.

  33. 7. 1st Strategic Advisory Panel Meeting • Price transparency at hubs • Foster Development of hubs and other regional trading mechanisms such as exchanges. • Market entry barriers • Roadmaps to trading and transiting gas through each country. • Transparency requirements for TSOs • Cooperation with TSOs to make all the data available network users consider necessary to perform their activity.

  34. 3. GRI SSE Work Programme 2009 • Priorities for Work Program 2009: • Security of Supply (due to recent developments) • Infrastructure planning /emergency scenarios • Diversification of transport routes and gas supply sources • Regional coordination • Congestion Management • Secondary market • Access to Storage • Improved transparency by TSOs • Improved TSO cooperation • OBAs/IPAs • Information exchange • Market entry barriers
