EU 3rd Package Clarification of points raised at Transmission Workstream 3/12/2009
EU 3rd Package Implementation Date • EU 3rd Package • The “3rd Package” of EU energy legislation approved on 3rd September 2009 • Includes new transparency obligations (18 Month implementation lead time) • Regulation (EC) 715/2009 replaces (EC) 1775/2005 on 3rd March 2011 • NG NTS European Transparency Project scope based upon; • Generic data publishing obligations within (EC) 715/2009 • Indicative, more specific, amendments to the Annex of 1775/2005 (currently being amended via comitology process) • Timescale for Annex amendments is currently unclear; • Scale of system & telemetry change for EU TSOs is large • Implementation therefore likely to coincide with (EC) 715/2009
Interpretation of ‘Pressure in a Balancing Zone’ data item • “Pressure in a balancing zone” • NG NTS perception (shared with other EU TSOs) is that this data is not meaningful: • To enable gas to flow differing pressures exist throughout network • Entry & Exit pressure requirements will continue to be published • NG NTS recommendation to Ofgem & DECC is that pressure clause should be re-worded to provide more meaningful market information such as opening and projected closing linepack or aggregate imbalance position of all users
