DSO DSO entity Smart meters Cyber security Priority of dispatch Network tariffs Energy storage DSO tasks/flexibility Data management Balancing responsibility Remunerations of the DSOs Should EURELECTRIC support the creation of a EU DSO entity? Commission s proposal DSOs which are not part of a VIU or which are unbundled according to Art 35 of the Electricity Directive shall cooperate at EU level via a to-be established DSO entity. DSOs who wish to participate need to be registered and they will suffer the cost of this body s activities through the tariff. Tasks: TSO/DSO coordination, integration of RES, DG, storage in the DSO grids; development of DR, deployment of smart grids and smart metering; data management, cyber security and data protection; development of network codes, cooperation with ENTSO-E. Views so far DSO Committee cautiously supports New status and recognition for DSOs and deepened/enhanced cooperation facilitated in the public, customer and companies interests Equality of esteem and enhanced cooperation with ENTSO-E opened up There are some worries Nature technical work ; x-border focus; lobbying prohibited Governance - in particular voting rights Scope subsidiarity, competence and harmonisation. The principle of subsidiarity has to be applied: European regulation has to be installed only where legitimated by a European context, e.g. cross-border network issues 4

Governance Absence of compliance mechanism for Integrated National Energy and Climate; administrative burden on MS has not been reduced Scope of INECPs remains limited Technical capacity of MS to substantiate INECPs may prove to be overestimated Regional cooperation identified as key tool for governance structure but no practical suggestions on how it will be implemented have been defined KPIs yet to be defined Innovation Policy Signals and Regulatory Frameworks: ambition and standards Financial instruments to boost private investment Funding energy science and technology and its market adoption Europe s Global Role & Key Actors in the Energy Transition Innovation issues across the Clean Energy for All Package 7
