3 5 th CEER Benchmarking Report on the Quality of Electricity Supply 2011
5 Preface Preface European Energy Regulators, working through the Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER), promote well-functioning and competitive EU energy markets so that consumers get fair prices, the widest choice of supplier and the best quality of supply possible. This quality can be measured by the number and duration of power cuts; the power surges or dips which affect our electronic equipment; or the timeliness and efficiency of the customer service provided by electricity companies. As part of our joint efforts to facilitate the creation of a single, competitive, efficient and sustainable EU internal energy market, since 2001 we have undertaken in depth benchmarking and analysis of the quality of electricity supply in Europe, with a focus on three types of quality: continuity of supply, voltage quality and commercial quality. Indeed, as energy regulators, one of our duties is to ensure that energy companies are providing value for money for a quality product (both technically and commercially). Monitoring the quality of supply is an essential tool in the overall monitoring of a functioning electricity market, and it is our job to strike a balance between cost efficiency and quality of supply, using a variety of regulatory instruments. Through our series of Benchmarking Reports on the Quality of Electricity Supply, CEER seeks to disseminate information on the regulation of quality of supply and on the effects produced by this regulation in individual countries. It is as much an exercise in sharing good practices as it is in promoting continuing improvements to European energy regulation and quality standards. Over the years, we can see a positive trend across Europe towards improved quality and regulation in this area and we firmly believe that our collective work has greatly contributed to such developments. We are very pleased that our commitment to detailed and extensive analysis of these issues continues to grow and expand. In this 5 th edition, we have introduced information from ten new countries, with several case studies on the situation in Switzerland and a dedicated annex on quality of supply in the nine Energy Community contracting parties. In keeping with our dedication to the importance of the quality of the supply of electricity, the report analyses progress made since the last edition (4 th Report) in 2008 and provides a series of concrete recommendations for further improvements in the regulation of the quality of electricity supply. We hope you will find the data and analysis of interest and that the report is useful for your work. Should you require greater insight into any part of this report, we invite you to contact CEER or your national energy regulators for further information.

13 CEER CEER The Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER) is the voice of Europe s national regulators of electricity and gas at EU and international level. Through CEER, a not-for-profit association, the national regulators cooperate and exchange best practice. A key objective of CEER is to facilitate the creation of a single, competitive, efficient and sustainable EU internal energy market that works in the public interest. CEER works closely with (and supports) the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER). ACER, which has its seat in Ljubljana, is an EU Agency with its own staff and resources. CEER, based in Brussels, deals with many complementary (and not overlapping) issues to ACER s work such as international issues, smart grids, sustainability and customer issues. The work of CEER is structured according to a number of working groups and task forces, composed of staff members of the national energy regulatory authorities, and supported by the CEER Secretariat. This report was prepared by the Electricity Quality of Supply and Smart Grids Task Force of CEER s Electricity Working Group. 5 th CEER Benchmarking Report on the Quality of Electricity Supply xi
