4 Reminder of the essentials Objectives Share a common understanding Build consensual solutions Provide analyses and proposals to feed the regulator s deliberations A 2-level structure A steering committee Working groups All the stakeholders gathered Shippers, suppliers, consumers, regulator, operators, energy ministry Chaired by the 2 TSOs A common cooperative asset - 4 -

5 An effective and mature process The reference way to add or to improve transmission services High attendance and active contributions Diversity of positions expressed Connected infrastructures on-boarded when necessary A shared practice of co-building every evolution Concrete achievements In 2010, 5 regulator s ruling based upon Concertation Gaz proposals Regulator s 2011 tariff consultation fed by inputs from Concertation gaz A productive system - 5 -

8 A new framework ENTSOG Commission ACER Harmonisation process Priorities from the European Commission Framework guidelines (FG) Network codes (NC) Consultation windows ACER, ENTSOG, Commission to interact with - 8 -

9 Several interactions Different topics third-party access data exchange and settlement capacity-allocation and congestion-management transparency balancing Different schedules FG 1 NC 1 t FG 2 NC 2 FG 3 NC 3 to be taken into account - 9 -

10 Why and how to connect to the European process? to share a common analysis of draft documents to build a French input to fuel the harmonisation to include the harmonisation outcome in the specifications of the workings groups to anticipate the harmonised rules to prepare the implementation of the network codes A strengthened and renewed need of Concertation gaz

11 Update on the Concertation Gaz process Agenda An effective and mature process The need to connect with the European process 2010 achievements and upcoming challenges

12 The Concertation Gaz and its Working Groups Evolution of network s contractual structure Management of intraday flexibility Operational network code Contractual scheme for downstream capacities Capacity allocation 3CTG Balancing IT System coordination 12

13 Evolution of the network contractual structure (1/2) Objective 1 : Improve the access to the Southern Zone Context July CRE ruling: Results Merger of GRTgaz zones should be gradual towards 2015 horizon As technical conditions are met, a single market place should be created in 2011 Prospects GRT/TIGF joint study under the supervision of the French Ministry : As of 2010, existing constraints could be eased by the joint model As of 2013, there should be no congestion at the GRTgaz/TIGF interface Southern Zone possible, based on the operational rule proposed by GRTgaz Public consultation on CRE decision in progress Evolution of market conditions at GRTgaz South/TIGF interfaces Mechanisms to improve conditions of access to the Southern market zone ( eg.market coupling, flow commitments ) 13

14 Evolution in the network contractual structure (2/2) Objective 2 : Improve access to the L-gas perimeter Results of the GRTgaz preliminary study Merger of L and H perimeter feasible by 2013 Sharing of costs for provision of L gas required Coordination between Storengy and GRTgaz required Short term : basic conversion service can be set to zero as of 2011 Sharing of Swap contract costs required Nominations between perimeters maintained without change in balancing rules and the role of the balancing shipper Operational rule should be introduced Prospects Public consultation on CRE decision in progress Evolution of market terms at the North B/ North H interface 14

15 Operational Network Code Objective : Define the GRTgaz operational network code Results Definition of a rule regarding the distribution of available capacities between N/S Link and PITS Serene Sud (winter) / Sediane Littoral (summer) Feedback on the summer rule Information on netting and rebound rules on Entry Points Prospects Definition of the form and content of the Network Code Topic prioritization and treatment: min. scenario in Obergailbach, conditions of availability of interruptible and backhaul capacities, definition of climatic capacities and availability of interruptible capacities at PITS 15

16 Capacity Allocation Objective : Improvement of capacity allocation rules Results GDFSuez s Commitments: GRTgaz procedure for the marketing of LT capacities at Taisnières and Obergailbach entry points February 8th 2010 decision on the allocation of capacity within the framework of GDF Suez s commitments Improvements of rules on N/S link: detailed study on 3 methods : need based, auctions, prorata July 8th, 2010 :decision on rules to be applied on multi-annual and annual capacities as of April 1 st 2010 CRE approved GRT proposal based on the WG results Prospects Implementation of Framework Guidelines for CMP and CAM Continuation of the studies on auction-based allocation mechanisms 16

17 Balancing Objective : Define the target balancing system for Results Stakeholders views on possible target system Definition of the main principles of GRTgaz target system in the framework of European guidelines : TSO resort mainly to the market to balance the system on a daily basis. Stronger incentives for shippers to balance their positions Enhanced quantity/quality of information on both the global position of the network and the individual imbalances September 30 th 2010 CRE deliberation to decide on changes to gas transmission network balancing rules CRE approved Target balancing-system principles proposed by the WG Prospects for June 2011 GRTgaz : Implementation plan for the target as of 2013 TIGF : Assessment and possible upgrades to the current system 17

18 Management of Intra-Day Flexibility Objectives: - Define market rules for intra-day flexibility management - Operational rules for electricity producers Results Presentation of GRTgaz/TIGF joint study on the ability of gas infrastructures to provide flexibility to the market Elaboration of the flexbility supply offer by TSOs Definition of operational rules : temporary procedure Prospects Public consultation on CRE deliberation in progress: access rules for customers with high flexibility needs Operational management of flexibility shortages Based on CRE deliberation,possible work could be : Define the contractual structure of the flexibility offer Integrate operational terms into this structure 18

19 Contractual scheme for downstream capacities Objective : Simplify access to delivery capacity for end consumers Results Synthesis of market expectations for changes in the contractual scheme SWOT analysis : choice of a high-modularity scenario allowing : Gradual and customized access for new entrants Transfer of right of use for delivery capacities to a balancing shipper A stronger link between the TSO and the end consumer Positive feedback from market actors 19

20 Contractual scheme for downstream capacities Prospects Legal assessment of the scenario Flash consultation of all shippers April 2011 : final version of the draft contract October 2011 : implementation at the launch date of TRANS@ctions V1c 20

21 3CTG (Industrial Customers) Objective: Foster dialogue and partnership with end consumers and provide them with information on the GRTgaz offer Results Kick-off meeting in June to define the topics to be treated Prospects Load shedding Interruptibility Gas quality Metering Connection Contract liability limits. 21

22 IT System Coordination Objective : Inform stakeholders of changes to the IT system Results Presentation of the Trans@ctions capacity booking portal Implementation process of the final version at the end of 2011 Prospects 22

23 As a conclusion Major changes to the market structure are to be designed and implemented. Your implication within the process is essential to develop better market conditions for the benefit of all stakeholders. 23
