Recommendations of ECS from June 2012 (1) • All Contracting Parties to ensure that eligibility is defined in line with Article 21 of Directive 2003/54/EC, i.e. as the full and unconditional right to choose a supplier for all non-household customers. This requires in particular: • (a) a clear and compliant definition in primary law; • (b) the removal of all conditions and requirements other than the status of being a non-household customer, including references to voltage levels or electricity consumption; • (c) the removal of all administrative obstacles to exercising eligibility such as discretionary or conditional approval by regulatory authorities or market operators, registration requirements, etc.; • (d) ensuring that the right to switch supplier can be exercised continuously (not only by one particular reference date) and swiftly; • (e) the inclusion of resellers in the category of eligible customers, including public suppliers and suppliers of last resort, and the removal of all explicit or structural barriers for them to exercise their eligibility.
Recommendations (2) All Contracting Parties to ensure that the electricity prices for all customers falling within the category defined for the purposes of universal service provision in the first sentence of Article 3(3) of Directive 2003/54/EC (“households and small and medium enterprises”) subject to price regulation are cost-reflective. All Contracting Parties to ensure the cost-reflectivity of network tariffs. All Contracting Parties to define clearly and through legislation the public service objectives pursued by price regulation as well as the notions of vulnerable customers subject to special protection or support. All Contracting Parties to ensure that the electricity prices for all customers not falling within the category defined for the purposes of universal service provision in the first sentence of Article 3(3) of Directive 2003/54/EC (“large customers”) are not subject to price regulation . All Contracting Parties to ensure that the market design does not impede the goals of market opening and price reforms. To that end, the possibility for public supply must be limited to small customers and may not impede eligibility. Furthermore, there must be no legal obligation for the public supplier to buy exclusively from one single generation company or wholesale supplier.
