AbstractAbstract
[en] G. Lundberg, the chair of regional task force presented the final draft report. The main conclusions and recommendations that the study has provided may be resumed as follows: 1) The creation of single European electricity market should be initiated with the formation of a core-European market by merging at first, two of the existing more advanced markets, in term of liberalization and effective operation, namely the Nordic and the Central Western European one. Thus, it will include 10 countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden) representing more than 50% of the EU-29 (plus Norway + Switzerland) electricity generation. Then, it would likely become attractive for joining by other currently fragmented European markets. The formation of the new core-European market should start immediately despite the current recession and it should be designed in a flexible frame, in order to ease the accommodation of the remaining markets; 2) The so-created core-European initial market will undoubtedly requires a set of common regional rules, to be elaborated in compliance with the third package provisions and the guidelines/market codes following the third package approval. Thus, it will provide a model for the remaining isolated markets, to be subsequently integrated. In this regulatory process, all the stake holders (power industry, TSO, regulators, consumers, related national and EU-bodies) must be involved, with a purpose to providing a practical input and thus, to minimize potential frictions, during the implementation phase; 3) The grid development in Europe is the key challenge to promote more competition and in particular, to accommodate the targeted 20% of electricity increases from renewable energy sources, by 2020. For this purpose, what ENTSO is preparing for the grid development and extension by 2020 is of primary importance. Crucial for the success of this plan will be how efficient would be the sector in ensuring the public acceptance of the new transmission lines. The investments to grid development will be a cornerstone, to decide about power plant investments taking the price expectations, in the new regions; 4) The European power industry as a key player should be involved in all-related discussion processes, concerning the integration of markets into single European market and intermediate phases as well. In this respect, professional associations and operational bodies such as EURELECTRIC, ENTSO, EUROPEX, EFET should play important role, under the umbrella of ERGEG coordination; 5) Specific recommendation to South East European Market: As the latter is of a higher level of vulnerability, it requires therefore to prioritise urgently investments needed in both, generation and transmission infrastructure and that to avoid supply disruption in a few of these countries. Liberalisation should not be only national concerns as it is the case now, the governments and companies from this region should focus their efforts on strengthening further the regional market; 6) Specific recommendation to Central Eastern Market: Stronger political will and commitments from governments of Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia, to achieve regional market improvements.(author).
