4th CSE ERI Stakeholders Group meeting
Overview of the regional work programme
towards 2014
AEEG – European regulatory affairs
15 maggio 2012
At a cornerpoint
•
The CACM NC preparation is marking an
important step towards a common set of binding
rules towards the implementation of the target
model
•
Nevertheless the voluntary approach is going to
keep a fundamental role in the coming
months/years
•
Role of the stakeholders in identifying key
development areas
•
A region at the border of the main ongoing
integration processes (NWE): what role, what
inputs to the creation of the IEM?

2
Long term timeframe
•
The subject is already considered as “crossregional”
•
In line with the workprogramme: from 2011 a
single set of auction rules almost harmonized
between CSE and CWE regions
•
Single auction office for the 2 regions
•
Still significant differences exist in the 2 regions
(products, firmness management) mainly
deriving from the different ways in which
capacity is calculated (top-down vs bottom-up
approach).

Long term timeframe /2
•
Harmonization of capacity calculation method is
perceived of special importance to improve also
auction rules harmonization;
•
The CSE region has played an important role in
PTR allocations, what about FTR?
•
The WP foresees a decision towards FTR already
in 2012 (roadmap towards implementation in
2014) (too early?) anyway important local
experiences (Italian market already uses FTRs)
could be helpful also at a cross-regional level.

Long term timeframe /stakeholders’
views
•
CASC operation: any comment / suggestion?
•
FTR role in the region: when should discussion
be started what involvement for the
stakeholders?
•
Products definition and duration: any
comment/suggestion?

5
Day ahead timeframe
•
The workprogramme foresees a gradual adotpion
of the PCR algorithm (once developed and
validated) in the markets of the region
•
2012 and 2013 to adapt local market
arrengements hampering the integration with
European coupling
•
Implementation of price coupling in the region by
beginning of 2014

6
Intraday timeframe
•
The workprogramme foresees the
implementation of the first interim solution by
April 2012 (little delay)
•
Development of a roadmap towards the target
solution to be approved by regulators by Q4
2012
•
Go Live of the target solution by the end of 2014

7
Intraday timeframe /potential obstacles
•
TSOs invited to work – in coordination with PXs –
on the roadmap towards the target model;
•
The implementation of the target solution is not
so smooth also in more advanced regions (NWE)
where different solutions are being tested in
different borders
•
The cohexistence of continuous trading and
auctions represents an additional constraint for
our region, but a joint working group already
established to study pilot solutions on selected
borders

Balancing
•
WP foresees first possible solutions to be
adopted from 2013 on selected borders
•
The increasing amount of RE generation capacity
in the region may represent a driver for
exchange of balancing energy
•
It will be important to go hand in hand with the
development of the future NC on balancing

Capacity calculation
•
The current WP foresees a possible revision of
the product definitions so to allow offering
capacity with a higher level of firmness
•
Work on FB to be started in 2013
•
What about the CWE and CEE experiences?
•
The regional dimension is extremely important
also for the CACM NC, but what is the ideal
regional scope for activities linked to FB
calculation

Prioritization
•
Could it be considered a feasible approach to
define prioritization criteria on the different topics
so to concentrate the efforts on selected issues?
•
What are the stakeholders’ views?
