European energy infrastructure policy 2018 CEF Energy Virtual Info Day 9 April 201 2018 CEF Energy Virtual Info Day 9 April 2018 Milosz Momot Team Leader - Networks and Regional initiatives - DG Energy, European Commission
Building the Energy Union based on the three long-established objectives of EU energy policy: security of supply, sustainability and competitiveness focuses on five mutually supportive dimensions: 1. Energy security, solidarity and trust 2. Internal energy market 3. Energy efficiency 4. Decarbonisation of the economy 5. Research, innovation and competitiveness
TEN-E Regulation (347/2013) addresses infrastructure needs in a comprehensive way Sustainable Development Competitiveness FULLY BALANCED INTEGRATED AND MUTUALLY REINFORCED Internal Market Infrastructure Research and innovation Carbon sequestration Alternative fuels Energy efficiency Nuclear Security of supply Renewable energy Energy efficiency Nuclear Research and innovation Emission trading International Dialogue European stock management (oil/gas) Refining capacity and energy storage Diversification Energy efficiency
TEN-E Regulation (347/2013) Process to identify projects of common European interest, with involvement of all stakeholders Accelerated permit granting Benefits Improved Regulatory treatment Financial support 3.5 years One stop shop Public Participa tion Incentives Crossborder cost allocation Financial instruments Grants
Achievements supported by a dynamic governance and through regional cooperation High-Level Groups strategic steering and policy guidance on technical topics in European regions that have been identified as being of high priority - Central and South Eastern Europe Gas Connectivity - North Seas Energy Cooperation - Interconnections for South-West Europe - Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan (BEMIP) Commission Expert Group on electricity interconnection targets makes proposals on defining interconnection targets for 2030 and on improving interconnection capacity
Projects of Common Interest (PCI) Tool for building well-interconnected energy networks: - - Energy Union Strategy - - 2020 Energy and Climate Strategy - - 2030 Framework for Climate and Energy - - European Energy Security Strategy - - Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) and Storage Strategy - - Communication on achieving the electricity interconnection targets for 2020 and 2030
Third list of PCIs No 2017/XX 23 November 2017 - + 110 electricity and smart grids projects - + 53 gas projects - + 6 oil projects - + 4 cross-border carbon dioxide network projects - =173 PCIs
Grants for works limited to PCIs that need them
- Western Europe Integration of Iberian Peninsula with the rest of Europe. Integration of RES. Removal of the bottlenecks in the northern BE, and reinforcements between BE-DE, and IT-FR. 110 electricity PCIs Strengthening Europe s grid to deliver on the energy and climate commitments and to address important challenges of the energy systems. - Northern Seas - Enabling off-shore grid to harness significant RES potential. The first direct link between Ireland and Continental Europe. Reinforcements between DK-DE and in the northern DE. - BEMIP Synchronising the Baltic grid with the continental European network (CEN). Reinforcements between the Baltic States to remove existing bottlenecks and to ensure the full operation of interconnectors with PL and SE. - CESEC - Strengthening the existing grid and providing for new interconnections between BG-EL, SI-HU, and RO-Balkans. Integration of the RES. Prevention of uncontrolled energy flows ("loop-flows") in PL and CZ.
53 gas PCIs Western Europe has well-developed transmission network with diversified supply sources Important (security of supply and internal market) needs remain in Central Eastern Europe, Eastern Baltic Sea Region and Iberian Peninsula, which are to be addressed by PCIs. GAS PCIs: BEMIP: Connecting Baltic States and Finland with the continental network. CESEC: Establishing interconnectors between the Member States and diversifying gas sources. WESTERN: Connecting Iberian Peninsula to the rest of Europe. SOUTHERN GAS CORRIDOR: Providing Europe with access to a new source of gas. 2017 - Gas demand disruption in case of Ukrainian route disruption 2020 Dependence on RU gas 2017- Access to supply sources Q3 2017- Wholesale gas prices
Way forward Timely completion of electricity and smart grids PCIs Reinforcement of the electricity transmission and distribution grids, digitalisation and smartening of the grids and deployment of new infrastructure solutions, particularly in the storage area, and the impact of self-consumption Remaining gas bottlenecks can be largely addressed around 2020
