8 Where is the storage market heading at? HEADLINES ABOUT TODAY S TOPIC E.ON Gas Storage sells minority stake in German storage facilities SSE and Statoil inaugurate Aldbrough storage extension VNG offers first gas storage capacity at Etzel Fluxys to expand natural gas storage capacity Bergermeer gas storage gets approval OMV to start open season on 00Mm³ on sites Centrica continues to assess Baird, Caythorpe project on hold 8

9 The flexibility market is affected by a set of fundamental drivers DRIVERS FOR CHANGES OF FLEXIBILITY NEEDS Changes along the value chain Aspects of security of supply Development of demand Weather conditions Change of flexibility needs Changes of demand structure Changes of supply structure Decrease of indigenous production 9

10 Our static forecast shows a structural excess supply for the NWE storage market until 2030 TEAM CONSULT S FORECAST UNTIL 2030 Source: TEAM CONSULT Analysis Strategic stock = 5% of imports to NWE except from Norway 0

12 The summer/winter spread is the traditional valuation parameter at traded markets for seasonal flexibility; it is at low levels for more than two years DEVELOPMENT OF SUMMER/WINTER SPREAD AT TTF Ø 6.0 Ø 5.7 Ø 2.9 Ø 2.9 Source: ICIS Heren, TEAM CONSULT Analysis 2

13 Valuation of flexibility between traded markets and storage operators is structural; contract price negotiations in long-term storage contracts possible? YEARLY STORAGE TARIFFS IN EUROPE 202/3 (for bundled products) Ø S/W Spread in Q/202 at TTF Source: Storage Operators, TEAM CONSULT Analysis 3

17 In the next several years a large quantity of storage capacity is about to become operational in Germany and the Netherlands ADDITIONAL STORAGE CAPACITY IN GERMANY AND NETHERLANDS (data in mcm) Germany: German WGV as is 23, /3 203/4 204/5 205/6 206/7 Netherlands: Dutch WGV as is 5,300 Zuidwending Cavern storage expansion: additional WGV of some 90 mcm per 202/3 and another 90 mcm per 203/4 Bergermeer storage (new): some 4,00 mcm WGV announced start of operation around 205 Norg & Grijpskerk (expansion): up to 9,000 mcm WGV start of operation not planned yet Groningen field still and for the mid-future equipped with sufficient flexibility to meet customer's flexibility requirements Source:TEAM CONSULT Analysis 7

18 The individual storage markets widely differ in market structure design and regulatory framework DIFFERENT STORAGE MARKETS WITHIN EU WGV/Gas consumption Competitive Status Storage access regulation Storage tariff regulation Relevance of auctioning Germany 25% Oligopoly (85%) Negotiated Negotiated Some Czech Republic 40% Triopoly with dominant player (>75%) Negotiated Negotiated / Auctioned Strong Austria 40% Duopoly Negotiated Negotiated Some Netherlands 0% No TPA available Negotiated Negotiated None France 25% Duopoly with dominant player (>75%) Regulated Negotiated / Auctioned Strong Italy 20% Duopoly with dominant player (>90%) Regulated Regulated None 8

22 Without a storage system for excess renewable power, any power exceeding demand would be wasted as capacities are taken off the grid POTENTIAL OF GAS INFRASTRUCTURE TO ABSORB EXCESS POWER Installed ( ) and available capacity of renewables (Wind & PV) Grid extension Loadmanagement 4 Distribution function of power generation Grid capacity Demand curve Square = annual power volume.

24 Storage business becomes more and more an entrepreneurial business with more & more focus and commercial than on technical issues SUMMARY OF NWE STORAGE MARKET DEVELOPMENT TEAM CONSULT s forecast model on the storage balance for NWE shows significant excess capacities on behalf of WGV until Since the last forecast in 20 no major changes on the likely scenario for the storage market has happened: gas demand and supply and along with the them the resulting flexibility needs haven t changed. Storage market is under pressure: significant additional capacities are about to become operational in Germany (foremost), G2G competition puts pressure not only on the gas price but on the value of flexibility Storage operators need to react on this situation with ever more effort for marketing of their capacities. Certain opportunities for a more optimistic development of the gas storage market are possible: New international interconnectors between markets leading to new gas flows Increasing influence of renewable energies Decommissioning of nuclear power plants: Germany (by 2022), Belgium (by 2025), Switzerland (by 2034) 24
