1 Vattenfall s views on the electricity market 25 Stockholm, Lars G Josefsson, President and CEO, Vattenfall AB

2 Effects of the Swedish market reform (1) New study: Regulatory Reform in the Swedish Electricity Industry Good or Bad? (Damsgaard & Green, Sept. -5) Cost-benefit analysis with data for 1996 to 23 Deregulation has been good Investments in generation capacity saved Gain to society approx. SEK 11 billion ( 1.2 billion) for the period

3 Effects of the Swedish market reform (2) It created winners and losers 2/3 of gain to producers. 1/3 to customers. Some customers lost - being a passive consumer is a bad idea Distribution of gains heavily dependent on hydro conditions Improvements are possible, examples: Peak capacity problem advocates more demand side response but some capacity market may be needed Network regulation improved incentives for investments/quality Congestion management price areas within Sweden Ease of switching faster and simpler process 3

4 Why a marginal cost-based pricing? (1) Marginal cost-based pricing ensures that generation resources are taken into operation in order of cost Effective resource allocation Marginal cost-based pricing sends price signals to generators to build more capacity Clear market signals a prerequisite for investments Marginal cost-based pricing avoids gaming Gaming would probably lead to higher prices 4

5 Why a marginal cost-based pricing? (2) Marginal cost-based pricing ensures that all generators receive the same price the market price All supplies compete on the same terms Marginal cost-based pricing ensures fair treatment of all consumers Limited supply of low-cost power who would pay the higher price? Are there alternatives? Return to a regulated monopoly, where capacity expansion is a matter of planning rather than market driven 5
