  1. Northern Europe ERI Background

  2. Background • Why is market transparency an important issue? • Insufficient transparency means that not all market actors have access to the same information • Asymmetry of information may lead to adverse effects on market competition and price formation • This may create the opportunity to market manipulation • Market transparency has been considered very important in the Northern Region

  3. Background • Main categories of information in the energy sector • fundamental / physical / pre-trading data • data related to trading, i.e. transactional data. TRADE POST-TRADE PRE-TRADE MARKET

  4. Northern Europe ERI Fundamental Data Transparency in Northern Europe

  5. Fundamental Data Transparency in Northern Europe • Northern regulatory authorities published aTransparency Report in September 2007 • Benchmark for assessment of transparency in the region • Has led to harmonisation of published information • Most of this information is required by the Congestion Management Guidelines • Our Transparency report has become model for other regions (CWE, CEE, SWE and CSE)

  6. Fundamental Data Transparency in Northern Europe • Regulators of the Northern Europe region committed themselves to monitor the implementation of the Transparency Report by publishing Implementation Reports on: • Load, transmission/interconnectors and balancing (published in July 2008) 2. Generation(to be published in the upcoming weeks)

  7. Northern Europe ERI 2nd Implementation Report

  8. 2nd Implementation Report • Focus of the report is on information regarding: • Installed generation capacity • Planned outages of generation units (ex ante) • Scheduled unavailability of consumption units (ex ante) • Scheduled generation (aggregated / ex ante) • Filling rates of water reservoirs • Forecast and actual generation of wind and solar power • unplanned unavailability of generation units (ex post) • unplanned unavailability of consumption units (ex post) • Actual generation (ex post)

  9. 2nd Implementation Report • Preview on the content and results of the report (1) • The Implementation Report shows that full compliance by all countries is almost achieved. • But – there are some shortcomings • Some information is only available in the national language and not yet in English • Some information is not yet completely available – but will be published soon

  10. 2nd Implementation Report • Preview on the content and results of the report (2) • Some items are not relevant for all countries • Filling rates of water reservoirs: only relevant for Norway, Sweden and Finland – fully compliant • Forecast and actual generation of wind and solar power: only relevant for Denmark and Germany – also fully compliant • Information on unavailability of significant consumption units (>100 MW) – in Poland there are no consumption units of this size

  11. Northern Europe ERI Transparency in Europe – what‘s next

  12. Transparency in Europe – what‘s next • European Commission issued a joint mandate to Energy and Financial Market Regulators (ERGEG and CESR) in December 2007 • Main questions • Is financial market regulation sufficient to secure integrity of energy markets? • What extent of transparency does financial and physical energy trading need?

  13. Transparency in Europe – what‘s next • What did ERGEG/CESR recommend? (among others) • Transparency of trading data (anonymous publication of transactions close to real-time) • COM will present a legislative proposal • Transparency of fundamental data (price sensitive information, e.g. power plant outages) • Comitology guidelines on Transparency

  14. Transparency in Europe – what‘s next • Comitology guidelines on Transparency • In January 2010, the European Commission requested ERGEG (and ENTSO-E) to draft a guideline on fundamental data transparency • Through comitology the EU-Commission can formally adopt this guideline and make it legally binding • This should lead to higher degree of harmonization of fundamental data transparency. • Regulators notion: The guidelines will be based on the Northern Europe Transparency Report
