  3. Content • Introduction & general / procedural matters • Preliminary findings on general issues • Situation at selected interconnection points • Way forward / next steps

  4. I. Introduction Development • Questionnaire / action report for discussion in IG / SG meetings; approved by the RCC on 21st Nov 2006  involved key operators E.ON Gastransport, BEB and GRTgaz (at a later stage) • Questionnaire sent on 6th Nov. for answers on 6th Dec.  E.ON Gastransport & Fluxys answered late (mid-january)  Gassco (N) did not answer Bocholtz & Ellund: questionnaire not sent to all concerned TSOs • Therefore only 23 IPs were analysed and assessment of answers by CRE & BNetzA delayed  Answering to questionnaires has to be improved

  5. I. Introduction Specific difficulties • Very large number of confidential data  Reason: 3-minus-rule? • Partially imprecise / unclear / missing answers & data

  6. I. Introduction • The following targets have been agreed and have been covered in the questionnaire: • Target 1: Capacity products and services offered at interconnections should be compatible so that trade and competition is not distorted - Questionnaire Part 4 • Target 2: Allocation rules of capacity and booking rules/procedures at cross-border points should be coordinated by adjacent TSOs so that trade and competition is not distorted - Questionnaire Part 5 & Part 6

  7. I. Introduction • Target 3: Congestion management procedures need to be coordinated so that trade and competition is not distorted – incl. investments issues - Questionnaire Part 7 • Target 4: Nomination, re-nomination and matching procedures should be harmonized or at least made compatible at each cross-border point - Questionnaire Part 8

  8. I. Introduction 14 TSOs involved 38 interconnection points (IP)

  9. I. Introduction Goals for the workshop • Summary of the findings 1.) general 2.) specific findings for selected IPs  details to be found in the report • Comments by the TSOs and stakeholders to identify relevant issues and priority setting • Selection of IPs of high importance to be dealt with primarily • Development of a working schedule

  10. Content • Introduction & general (organizational) matters • Preliminary general findings • Situation at selected interconnection points • Way foward / next steps

  11. II. Preliminary general findings • Data confidentiality • Capacity Products & Services offered • Capacity Booking Procedures • PhysicalCongestion & Capacity Allocation Mechanisms (CAM) 4.1. Utilization rates 2005 4.2. CAM for existing capacity • Investments in new cross-border capacities / CAM • ContractualCongestion & Congestion Management Procedures (CMP) 6.1. Status of booked capacity for 2007 6.2. Application of CMPs • Nomination, Re-Nomination & Matching

  12. 1. Data confidentiality Confidentiality on Capacities (2005) • 1 IP: • only confidential • 17 IPs (74% of all IPs): • rate of confidential data • between 0% and 100% • Only 5 IPs (22 % of all IPs): • all datarequested have been • provided

  13. 1. Data confidentiality Confidentiality on Utilization Rates (2005) • 16 IPs (70% of all IPs): rate of confidential data between 0% and 100% • 3 IPs: only confidential • 4 IPs (17% of all IPs): all datarequested have been provided

  14. 1. Data confidentiality Confidentiality on Rates of Subscription (2007) • 15 IPs (65% of all IPs): rate of confidential data between 0% and 100% • 2 IPs: only confidentialdata • 6 IPs (26% of all IPs): all datarequested have been provided

  15. 2. Capacity Products Questions on: type of capacity products offered • Entry / Exit capacities • Firm / Interruptible capacities • Daily / monthly / yearly / multi-yearly capacities General findings: • At 14 out of 25 Interconnection Points (IPs) all involved TSOs offer all listed products for the main direction of flow • At 6 IPs there are mismatches (different products at each side) • At 5 IPs problems exist  Importance of combined capacity products?

  16. 2. Capacity Products Questions on: Capacity Situation 2005 • Maximum Technical capacity • Firm / Interruptible capacity General findings: • Technical (= firm) capacity at IPs where data has been provided does not match between adjacent TSOs • Mostly only interruptible capacities available (esp. reverse flow)  Importance of matching of technical capacities? • Entry / Exit capacity • Contracted / Available capacity

  17. 3. Booking procedures Questions on: • Booking Periods • Separate booking / coordination of Booking Procedure General findings: • At only 2 cross-border points the timeframe for booking matches for daily firm (Entry or Exit) capacity. • The shorter the duration for booking is, the less the timeframe for booking procedure is the same. • For any given duration, the timeframe matches more frequently for interruptible capacity than for firm capacity • Booking at adjacent TSOs alwaysseparately andnotcoordinated  Importance of matching of booking procedures?

  18. 4. Physical congestion & CAM • 4.1 Maximum Utilisation Rates 2005  Missing data needs to be delivered to CRE / BNetzA

  19. 4. Physical congestion & CAM 4.2 CAM for existing capacity Questions on: • Type of CAM applied (FCFS, Open Subscription) • Coordination of CAM between adjacent TSOs General findings: • CAM applied or legally required for does not match at 3 IPs • FCFS is always applied, except for Fluxys (although legally required – TSO’s answer) • FCFS is legally required in D, NL, B, UK (TSOs answers) • Open Subscription is only applied in F, UK and legally required in UK (TSO’s answer) • At all IPsno coordination of CAM between adjacent TSOs

  20. 4. Physical congestion & CAM Questions on: Auctions • Auctions undertaken for existing capacity General findings: • Only National Grid (UK) untertakes long & medium term auctions annually, GdFD one auction in 2005, daily short term auctions done by National Grid (UK) and GRTgaz (F) (since 11/06) • In Belgium auctions are forbidden by law (TSO’s answer) • Auctions are not coordinated between adjacent TSOs

  21. 4. Physical congestion & CAM Questions on: Day ahead capacities auctions (DACA) • Auctioning of day-ahead capacity implemented / feasible General findings: • Only GRTgaz has implemented day ahead auctions at 3 IPs • Feasibility study: Wingas, EGT • 3 TSOs: feasible • 4 TSOs not feasible: due to implementation constraints (IT-System), conflicting implementation periods • FCFS most frequently used CAM • Rarely other mechanisms • Better coordiniation necessary? FCFS: no? Auctions: yes? • Improvement of CAMs?

  22. 5. Investments / new capacities Questions on: • Type of CAM applied for new capacities (Auction, Open Season) • Coordination of CAM for new cross-border capacities • Auctions General findings: • CAM not legally required at 87% of all IPs • Where increases are planned, capacities are mostly already allocated • Open Season applied by BEB (D), GTS (NL), Interconnector (UK), GRTgaz (F) • No auctions applied for new capacity • No coordination concerning CAMs for new capacities  Capacity allocation has to be non-discriminatory

  23. 6. Contractual congestion & CMP Availability of firm capacity in 2005: Directionof flow Availability 0% <10% Overall Indication for the IPs considered

  24. 6. Contractual congestion & CMP Rates of subscription in 2007: Directionof flow Availability 0% <10% Overall Indication for the IPs considered  insufficient firm capacity available

  25. 6. Contractual congestion & CMP Questions on: • applied CMPs (firm/interruptible UIOLI, sec. Market) • UIOLI details, coordination General findings: • Booking level at which CMPs are applied: different (e.g. 90%, any level, at each refusal) • firm UIOLI often implemented but practically rarely applied • Zero-nomination on day before delivery leads to «Lose it» at only 35% of IPs • Only 35% of TSOs have seized an amount of capacity by application of UIOLI but offered it to the market only on interruptible basis • Is coordination necessary? • Should capacity be offered as firm capacity?

  26. 7. Nomination & Matching • Questions on: • Application of Easee-gas CBP concerning nomination, re-nomination and matching • General findings: • Easee-gas nomination, re-nomination and matching procedures applied at 75% of IPs • At the remaining IPs at least one TSO does not apply the procedures  Should Easee-gas CBP always be applied?

  27. Summary • Few data have been provided. Missing data to be delivered to CRE / BNetzA • Offer of capacity products not everywhere coordinated • Booking procedures are not coordinated • Allocation mechanism for existing capacities mostly FCFS • Day ahead capacity auctions rarely implemented • Capacities seized by application of UIOLI are offered on interruptible basis • Auctions for allocation of new capacities are an exception

  28. Discussion • What are the key priorities? • Importance of matching of products and booking procedures? • Improvement of CAMs? • Insufficient firm capacity available? • Should CMPs be improved? • Investment in new cross-border capacities necessary?

  29. Content • Introduction & general (organizational) matters • Preliminary general findings on main issues • Situation at selected interconnection points • Way foward / next steps

  30. III. Situation at selected IPs Key findings for 6 selected interconnection points • Taisnières (F – B) • Obergailbach (F – D) • Oude Statenzijl (NL – D) • Eynatten (B – D) • Bacton (UK – UK) • (Zevenaar) (NL – D) Selection criteria: • Trying to represent the whole region (as many different TSOs as possible) • Importance / dimension regarding technical capacity • Avoid IPs with missing data / answers from adjacents TSOs (e.g. Gassco, Eni, Dangas)  Importance in the shippers‘ view?

  31. 1. Obergailbach / Medelsheim Map: GTE

  32. 1. Obergailbach / Medelsheim What does not match / problems: • Allocation of new capacities not coordinated • in 2005, investments in new cross-border capacities on both sides were not coordinated • Data on monthly capacities: • provided by GRTgaz & EGT, provided for only Q4 2005 by GDFDT • only GRTgaz & GDFDT publish historical capacities on their website • Data on rates of subscription: • GRTgaz publishes (monthly) booked capacities (2007) on its website • EGT and GDFDT publish nothing on their website • Utilization rates: • EGT provided monthly data on utilization rates (2005). GRTgaz and GDFDT have provided it for only Q4 2005. • In 2006, GRTgaz published daily flows, but EGT and GDFDT published only monthly maximum/minimum utilization rates

  33. 1. Obergailbach / Medelsheim Main issues to be solved: • Harmonization of published data on capacities and flows • What information on capacities and gas flow are needed? / What information should be published by TSOs on their website? • Are maximum/minimum flows sufficient and useful signals for shippers? / Should daily flows be published instead of maximum and utilization rates? • Inter-TSO coordination • How can CAM for new capacities be coordinated? Possible solutions / Priority goals / Way forward?

  34. 2. Taisnières/Blaregnies/Quévy Map: GTE

  35. 2. Taisnières/Blaregnies/Quévy • What does not match: The levels of booked capacities do not match for 2007 In 2005 the level of booked capacity was higher than that of firm capacity at Quévy (exit from Finpipe) • However, the utilization rate was lower • than the level of firm capacity

  36. 2. Taisnières/Blaregnies/Quévy • Main issues to be solved • Inter-TSO coordination • How can CMP and CAM be coordinated? • Harmonization of published data on capacities and flows • What information on capacities and gas flow are needed? / What information should be published by TSOs on their website? • Are maximum/minimum flows sufficient and useful signals for shippers? / Should daily flows be published instead of maximum/utilization rates? • Possible solution / Priority goals / Way forward?

  37. 3. Oude Statenzijl (13E) Map: GTE

  38. 3. Oude Statenzijl (13E) • What does not match: Data on capacity, rates of subscription and utilization rates provided and published by BEB GTS: data confidential CAM for new capacities are different: OSWPR for GTS vs OSWR for BEB CAM for existing capacities: FCFS applied but not coordinated ST and LT UIOLI for existing/new capacities not coordinated • At the German border side: • 4% < utiliz. rate (Oct.-Dec. 2005) = 67% • rates of subscription for 2007 = 100%

  39. 3. Oude Statenzijl (13E) • Main issues to be solved: • Harmonization of published data on capacities and flows • What information on capacities and gas flow are needed? / What information should be published by TSOs on their website? • Are maximum/minimum flows sufficient and useful signals for shippers? / Should daily flows be published instead of maximum and utilization rates? • Inter-TSO coordination • How can CMP and CAM for existing/new capacities be coordinated? • Day-ahead capacity auctions • Should a market day-ahead capacity auction mechanism be implemented? • Possible solutions / Priority goals / Way forward?

  40. 4. Eynatten Map: GTE

  41. 4. Eynatten Fluxys (B)  RWE (D) / E.ON Gastransport (D) Fluxys (B)  Wingas

  42. 4. Eynatten Key findings Fluxys  EGT/RWE Mismatches: • EGT fully booked out: 2005exit, 2007 both directions • Fluxys entry and exit available 2005 and 2007 • Confidentiality RWE • Fluxys does not offer interruptible products, except domestic entry • Fluxys does not offer online booking for non-domestic transports • Fluxys does not apply UIOLI for non-domestic transports (although legally required?) • Only EGTseized capacities by application of UIOLI and offered it on interruptible basis • RWE does not apply Easee-gas CBP

  43. 4. Eynatten Further Problems: • No auctions (in Belgium forbidden by law?) • No Coordination: booking procedure, (short-term) CAM, UIOLI • Key findings Fluxys (B)  Wingas • Rate of subscription 2007 exit Wingas 99-100% • No data on utilisation of Wingas exit and Fluxys entry • Basically same problems as for Fluxys / RWE and EGT Priority issues to be solved:  non-combined capacity products?  UIOLI?

  44. 5. Bacton Map: GTE

  45. 5. Bacton Key findings Bacton (H-Gas): National Grid (UK)  Interconnector (UK) Problems & Mismatches: • Firm Interconnector capacity sold out until 2018; long term contracts  only interruptible cap. available on an hourly basis, but NG (entry) offers daily capacity • No data on contracted Interconnector capacity • Interconnector seized no capacity by application of UIOLI, although there was no full utilisation • No coordination of CAM, booking, UIOLI, auctions

  46. 5. Bacton

  47. 5. Bacton Further problems: • National Grid does not apply Easee-gas CBP • UIOLI products not fully compatible (regarding timing) • NG raised a modification proposal to reform exit capacity regime • Now situation has changed (new import routes (BBL), LNG)? Priority issues to be solved:  non-combined capacity products?  Improve coordination  Offer firm long term UIOLI products?  Interconnector: auctions?

  48. 6. Zevenaar Map: GTE

  49. 6. Zevenaar Key findings Zevenaar (L-Gas): Gas Transport Services (NL)  RWE (D) / E.ON Gastransport (D) Matches: • All TSOs offer all capacity products • All TSOs apply all listed CMPs Mismatches: • RWE does not apply Easee-gas CBP • UIOLI procedure not harmonised • Zero-nomination on day before delivery leads to ‚lose it‘: only EGT and GTS • Booking periods of daily firm capacity:GTS 3 months, EGT 20 working days in advance (acceptable?)
