13 1.- Energy Situation in the EU Why energy regulation in the EU? There are notable differences in the energy market with respect to other goods and services: Very capital intensive Strong entry barriers Natural monopoly. Duplication is inefficient The product, storage difficulties Power of the market may distort competition No competitive energy market has been organised spontaneously Process promoted by governments within other wider policies of deregulation or privatisation

14 1.- Energy Situation in the EU Why energy regulation in the EU? Energy costs represent an important part of European production costs In a competitive, world-wide market, it is fundamental to guarantee the efficiency of the energy supply and of energy prices based on competition High petrol costs, as well as the traditional link between gas and petrol prices, make it necessary to establish competition within the gas sector, which constitutes one of the essential elements for the creation of an internal energy market New challenges: climate change

15 1.- Energy Situation in the EU Challenges From 1 January de Ten new countries with different market structures Energy deregulation: Directives 96/92/CE and 98/30 Progressive deregulation in line with UE objectives Open topics: Compliance with Kyoto commitments New infrastructures Nuclear installations

16 2.- Energy Deregulation in the EU Objectives Guarantee: Energy supply Quality of the same Lowest possible cost Means Via: Deregulation Privatisation SE vs. SP Results Improves the competitiveness of the economy, lowering energy prices

17 2.- Energy Deregulation in the EU European Parliament Directive 96/92/CE European Parliament Directive 98/30/CE Proposed Directive on CO 2 Emissions

18 2.- Energy Deregulation in the EU Natural Gas Directive 91/296/CEE. Transmission of Natural Gas through Large Networks Directive 98/30/CE Common Norms for internal gas market Proposed Directive COM (2001) 125 final Modification Directive 98/30/CE Proposed Directive COM (2002) 488 final Security protection of supplies

19 2.- Energy Deregulation in the EU Natural Gas. Directive 91/296/CEE (*) Objective: (i) Facilitate the transmission (**) of natural gas between the large high pressure transmission networks; (ii) increase exchanges of natural gas between large networks; and (iii) guarantee security and quality of the supply. Transmission contracts shall be negotiated by network heads with the participation, if required, of the responsible state bodies. Transmission conditions shall conform to the principles of free movement, without endangering the security of the supply or prejudicing the quality of the service. Member states shall guarantee that the bodies responsible for the networks advise the Commission and the pertinent national authorities of transmission requests and of the signature of transmission contracts and, if applicable, the reasons for which, after a time period of 12 months has elapsed after communication of the request, that the negotiations have not resulted in contracts being executed. The transmission conditions may be submitted to a conciliation body presided by the Commission. (*) Its repeal is recommended in Proposed Directive COM (2001) 125 final. (**) The network of origin or destination must be situated within EU territory and transmission shall involve at least one border within the EU being crossed.

20 2.- Energy Deregulation in the EU Natural Gas. Directive 98/30/CE Objective: Guarantee the free movement of gas and increase supply security and industrial competitiveness. The granting of permits shall be based on objective and not discriminatory criteria. Guarantee the inter-operability of the networks. Develop activities under acceptable, non-discriminatory, economic conditions through secure, trustworthy and efficient installations, taking into account environmental considerations. Distributor: the State may request a commitment to universal service from the distributor. Accounting transparency: State has access rights to all information. Legal and/or judicial separation of activities. Regulated or negotiated access to the network. Denial of access based on appraised cases. Reasons.

21 2.- Energy Deregulation in the EU Natural Gas. PD COM 2001 ( ) Objective: (i) quantitative: progressively offer all consumers the possibility of choosing supplier; (ii) qualitative: improve the market. Opening of markets: non-residential and total Reinforce the need for legal and functional separation of activities, and the figure of the TSO. Reinforce ATR, transparent and non-discriminatory, and creation of a Regulatory Body. Public service objective: guarantee trustworthy universal service and security of supplies, reinforcing the obligation of disclosure by the Member States to the Commission regarding measures adopted (*) (*) This proposal reinforces current provisions that require Member States to disclose their public service objectives only when such objectives constitute an exception to such Directives.

22 2.- Energy Deregulation in the EU Natural Gas. PD COM (2002) 488 final(*) Objective: Fully establish the natural gas market within the EU and guarantee the security of supplies in a competitive environment (current imports 40%, projected 70% en 2020). It is proposed that Member States adopt adequate measures to: guarantee adequate gas supply levels; diversify supply and encourage diversification; anticipate the most grave risk of breakdown or interruption of the network affecting the sole, most important source of supply; and develop the internal market and possibilities of cross-border co-operation. The Commission will monitor new contracts for gas imports from non-eu countries and may oblige the Member States to guarantee that a minimum part of the new supplies are on the basis of long-term contracts, for five years following introduction of the Directive.

23 2.- Energy Deregulation in the EU Natural Gas. PD COM (2002) 488 final(*) In an extraordinary gas supply situation, the Commission may make recommendations (freeing gas reserves, use of gas pipelines, etc.). Before , the Commission will create a European observation system for the supply of hydrocarbons, with the following functions: to monitor the functioning of the internal and international gas markets; to establish a control system for internal and external infrastructures; to monitor the gas supply and the procedures for guaranteeing its security in emergency situations; to control the level of strategic security gas reserves and the procedures for their use; to develop more dependable price indexes that better reflect the realities of the market; and to set up objective and reliable databases.

24 2.- Energy Deregulation in the EU Natural Gas; Balance. Any difference in the extent to which the market is open reduces the scope of the benefits of competition for clients. Inadequate tariff structures and large, inexplicable differences in network access tariffs. Lack of transparency with regard to the availability of capacity in the infrastructure, both internal and cross-border, as well as capacity reserve procedures. Concentration of the production and importation of gas in the hands of a few companies and slow development of gas business centres, causing difficulties for new companies that wish to purchase gas. Unnecessarily strict regulatory regimes that are not market-based and that do not reflect costs, making prices for small companies and domestic customers too high.

41 Natural Gas, a wager for the future Triple A of Energy Sources: "Accessibility - Availability - Acceptability" In Europe, Acceptability is the most important aspect of all as far as energy sources are concerned, Natural Gas being the ideal source from an environmental (emissions) and energy efficient (combined cycles) perspective.

42 Natural Gas, a wager for the future Analysis of the demand in Europe The favourable growth perspectives for the Spanish market are also sustained by the fact that the consumption of natural gas as a primary source of energy in Spain is still well below that of many other countries. Spain is currently below the European average for the consumption of natural gas as a primary energy source. Natural Gas as a % of Primary Energy - Year 2000 United Kingdom 0,381 Italy Canada 0,302 0,346 United States World Average E.U.

CO 2 is blamed for more than 68% of the influence of human activity with respect to the greenhouse effect and CH 4 is blamed for 20% of such effect (according to information supplied by the UNFCC for 1990).
