  1. IFIEC Europe welcomes speakers and guests at the Energy Forum

  2. Implementing the Third Energy Package Removing the last obstacles to a secure and competitive European energy supply? “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” Winston Churchill IFIEC Europe Energy Forum, Brussels, 22 September 2009 Hans Grünfeld President IFIEC Europe

  3. IFIEC Europe’s mission Securing competitive energy for industry, through: • the creation of an integrated competitive EU energy market • secure and fairly priced electricity and natural gas infrastructures • cost-effective energy efficiency improvement and CO2-emission reduction policies

  4. IFIEC Europe’s membership ELFI FSE VEMW FEBELIEC IEPiOE EIUG VIK SVSE UNIDEN IEF AICEP APIGCEE AEGE

  5. IFIEC’s response to key events 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 ERGEG Regional initiatives Florence and Madrid forum Third Energy Package Second Energy Package Nuclear forum First Energy Package ETS Directive Climate Package Energy sector inquiry

  6. Upcoming events 2009 2010 2011 2012 Pilot framework guideline Start Comitology Codes Start codes ENTSO-E Start framework guidelines Pilot code First 10 year investment plan Adoption TEP ACER ENTSO-G

  7. Implementation TEP Annual Work Programme Ten year investment plan Framework Guidelines Codes Network security and reliability Grid connection Third Party Access Data exchange and settlement Interoperability Operational procedures in emergencies Capacity allocation and congestion management Rules for trading Transparency Balancing rules, incl. nomination procedures and imbalance charges Harmonisation tariff structures Energy efficiency regarding networks Guidelines through comitology

  8. Shift decision making FROM Level of discretion EU regulation National regulation • e.g. First Gas Directive • Unbundling: integrated gas undertakings shall keep separate accounts for transmission, distribution and storage activities • TPA: Member States may choose negotiated access or regulated access • NRA: Member States shall create appropriate and efficient mechanisms for regulation • Unbundling: choice among range of administrative, through legal, to ownership unbundling • TPA: full choice among operational TPA models • NRA: full choice among range from ex-ante to ex-post regulatory oversight

  9. Shift decision making TO Level of discretion EU regulation National regulation • e.g. Third Gas Directive • Unbundling: 15 articles with strict requirements for unbundling and operational independence TSO • Independence NRA: each Member State shall designate a single national regulatory authority and shall guarantee its legal and functional independence, specified in detail on budget, staffing, reporting etc. • Unbundling: discrete choice between ownership unbundling, and two narrowly defined alternatives (ISO, ITO) • NRA: implementation of described measures to guarantee independence

  10. Consecutive process Code Framework Guideline Pilot Code Pilot Framework Guideline Small Industry needs Decision to participate Impact potential Basic process outline, incl. response time, participation, etc. Network, credibility Large

  11. IFIEC position on TEP We support: Unbundling Independent NRA ACER/ENTSO Binding rules for cross-border transport and trade Coordinated investment planning Information and transparency requirements Closed distribution systems …but implementation requires: Solutions which result in the widest possible choice among supply options, including long-term contracts Application of binding rules providing efficient allocation and maximising capacity use Coordinated investment planning and measures removing infrastructure bottlenecks Significant increases in transparency Clear regulatory framework for industrial grids avoiding unncessary administrative burden Transparent consultation process design, allowing effective stakeholder input We need an additional package to deliver: Market facilitation approach towards essential facilities such for UGS and LNG Perspective towards European system operator Measures to address structural market power problems Strategic framework linking the EU and global gas market

  12. Questions and issues What will be the rules of the consultations and who will set these? What are the priorities for Framework Guidelines and Codes and why? What is the sequence of developing Framework Guidelines and Codes? What will happen between now and the establishment of ACER? What will be the impact of the development of Framework Guidelines and Codes for industrial energy consumers?
