16th IG Meeting South Gas Regional Initiative Madrid, 6th May 2011
II. Latest EU developments and potential impact on the South region
II.1 Latest EU developmentsDiscussions on the Gas Target Model • Mandate from the Madrid Forum: develop a target model to help preparing the network codes • Help completing the single market by 2014 • Address long term issues, beyond 2014 • Workshops • Vienna, 3 December 2010: opening of work • Bonn, 22 February 2011: options and constraints • Florence, FSR workshop, 11 March 2011: open debate • London, 11 April 2011: ideas • Call for evidence from stakeholders • 2 consultancy studies • FSR & Clingendael • LECG
II.1 Latest EU developmentsDiscussions on the Gas Target Model • Consultants focused on technical options to deepen market integration • Connecting markets • Merger of market areas • Market coupling • Focus on the development of wholesale markets and short term efficiency • According to stakeholders and EERs, it is necessary to • Enlarge the scope: the main issue is to combine short and long term to ensure competition and security of supply • Address all the topics discussed in the third package implementation, including CAM • Clarify the market coupling concept and associated benefits • CEER paper should propose a « vision » seeking for consensus
II.1 Latest EU developmentsDiscussions on the Gas Target Model • What is missing in a South Region perspective? • LNG and storage have not been addressed per se • Key for competition and security of supply • Ensure that storage facilities are filled in during summer • Promote Europe’s attractiveness for LNG • Investment • Interconnection development and open seasons • Concept of investment climate (long term visibility) • Next steps • Preparation of a background document by CEER • Conference in Brussels on 28 June 2011
II.2 Latest EU developmentsFramework guidelines and network codes • Dominant topics • Capacity allocations • Balancing • Tariffs • Interoperability • Lessons from the past processes • Preparing framework guidelines requires more time than foreseen in the third package • Identifying all the consequences of the preferred orientations is challenging • Risk: requesting more harmonization than necessary (and concretely possible)
Capacity allocation mechanisms • Framework guideline • ACER consultation closed on 2 May • The final version should be sent to the Commission by 3 September 2011 • Fora and workshops showed a large stakeholders’ opposition to the "sunset clause" • Network code development • ENTSOG work has evidenced new issues regarding the implementation of the framework guideline • Bundled products: debate on the number of contracts, invoices and nominations. ERGEG view: a single nomination, at least • Interruptible products: debate on infinite interruptible. Auctions and alignment on the two sides of the border should not allow infinite interruptible • Capacity products: ENTSOG promotes quarterly products. The consequences on tariffs and cost recovery must be investigated
Balancing • Framework guideline • ACER consultation ongoing until 12 June 2011 • Final version by October 2011 • Main provisions of the framework guideline • Market based balancing as a target • Imbalance charges should reflect costs • TSOs to procure gas in short term wholesale market • Improve transparency • Remaining questions • Within day constraints could be different between two adjacent systems • Consistency with CAM and CMP regarding nomination schedules
Tariffs • ACER/CEER work advancement • Problem identification completed • Development of policy options • Dominant issues under scrutiny • Cost allocation: no discrimination between domestic and cross border entry or exit points nor between different categories of users need to find a methodology to properly allocate costs • Cost recovery: combination of ex-ante nd ex-post mechanisms reserve prices for auctions, regulatory account, commodity charge are debated • Short term versus long term capacity products: how to calculate reserve priceswhat reference to costs, relevant reserve price for day-ahead products, seasonal reserve prices for short term products? • Key questions • Zero reserve price for day-ahead products? • Since auctions are the standard CAM, what happens in the absence of congestion?
