Such a tolling agreement is a contract under private law concluded between CEB and a toller (the other party to the contract, for example EDF) providing for the purchase of a fixed quantity of electricity by the toller.
Nadalje, naknada sadržava i fiksnu komponentu čiji je cilj pokrivanje fiksnih troškova korištenja te troškove financiranja i amortizacije.
Revenue from such a tolling agreement has been determined in a such a manner that the business plan reflects the terms that CEB could expect to achieve at the time of the invitation to tender.
Tolling naknada sastoji se od indeksirane i neindeksirane komponente.
The amount of the tolling fee was evaluated using a stochastic forecasting model.
Indeksirana komponenta namijenjena je pokrivanju fiksnih troškova funkcioniranja.
The assumptions for the contract were based on the sale on the market by the toller of energy produced by the plant for a total initial amount of EUR[…] million a year between March 2017 and October 2036.
Neindeksirana komponenta namijenjena je pokrivanju troškova infrastrukture poput troškova financiranja projekta ili amortizacije provedenih ulaganja.
CEB's remuneration under the tolling contract was the subject of a sensitivity study.
S obzirom na postojanje tolling ugovora, za kupnju plina nije napravljen model.
A flat-rate grant index is used to update the capacity premium.
Poslovnim planom izravno je obuhvaćena prosječna operativna marža predviđena tijekom trajanja projekta.
The remuneration payable under the tolling contract reflects the cost of converting gas into electricity and the cost of using the plant.
Nadalje, poslovnim planom predviđa se i ažuriranje ugovornih pretpostavki tijekom trajanja projekta: indeks troškova rada, indeks proizvodne cijene, konačni trošak priključka na mrežu.
It includes a variable component intended to cover the costs of injection, operation and maintenance.
To se ažuriranje obrazlaže trajanjem poslovnog plana od [15 – 20] godina.
It also includes a fixed component to cover fixed operating costs and the costs of finance and depreciation.
Premija za kapacitete, koja se također ažurira, dodjeljuje se operateru kako bi mogao isplatiti svoje ulaganje.
The tolling fee is split into an unindexed component and an indexed component.
Ta premija ovisi o stvarnoj raspoloživosti elektrane.
The indexed component is to cover fixed operating costs.
Fiksna premija ovisi o koeficijentu raspoloživosti elektrane.
The unindexed component is intended to cover infrastructure costs such as the costs of financing the project and the amortisation of investment.
Osim uravnoteženja, poslovnim planom nije predviđeno sudjelovanje u mehanizmu kapaciteta.
Given the existence of the tolling contract, the purchase of gas is not modelled.
Ako dođe do sudjelovanja u mehanizmu kapaciteta, iznos naknade za sudjelovanje odbit će se od iznosa premije.
The business plan takes direct account of an anticipated average operating margin over the lifetime of the project.
Fiksni trošak prijenosa plina procjenjuje se na [10 – 20] milijuna EUR godišnje.
The business plan also allows for the updating of various assumptions during the course of the project: labour cost index, production price index, and final cost of connection to the grid.
Varijabilni trošak korištenja i održavanja izračunava se kao umnožak varijabilnih troškova korištenja i ekvivalentnog broja sati korištenja.
This updating is justified by the duration of the business plan, which extends over a period of [15-20] years.
Troškove korištenja i održavanja toller plaća CEB-u.
A capacity premium, itself updated, is awarded to the operator in order to allow its investment to be made profitable.
Analiza osjetljivosti provedena je i na drugim ugovornim pretpostavkama poput inflacije i troškova plaća.
This premium is a function of the plant's effective availability.
CEB pokriva troškove priključka na mrežu iako ga obavljaju RTE i GRTgaz.
The premium set depends on an availability coefficient for the plant.
Ti troškovi priključka procijenjeni su na [30 – 40] milijuna EUR i [20 – 30] milijuna EUR.
The business plan does not contemplate participation in the capacity mechanism above and beyond rebalancing.
Prema predmetnim pretpostavkama, na kraju provedbe poslovnog plana troškovi preprodaje postojeće opreme nadoknadit će se troškovima za stavljanje izvan pogona tako da će konačna vrijednost postrojenja biti jednaka nuli.
Should such participation occur, the resulting remuneration would be deducted from the premium.
Prihod od prilagodbe uzet je u obzir.
Fixed gas transport costs are estimated at EUR [10-20] million per year.
Francuska nadležna tijela opisala su pretpostavke za vrednovanje [10].
The variable operating and maintenance cost is the product of a variable operating cost and the number of equivalent hours of operation.
Taj prihod čini manje od 1,5 % ukupnog očekivanog prihoda.
CEB will be paid the operating and maintenance costs by the toller.
Francuska je u bilješci od 5. listopada 2016. navela da bi izgradnja mogla početi […], a pokretanje pogona […].
The sensitivity study also looked at other hypotheses such as inflation and labour costs.
OPIS RAZLOGA KOJI SU DOVELI DO POKRETANJA POSTUPKA
The connections to the grids, although they are to be carried out by RTE and GRTgaz, will be financed by CEB.
Državne potpore definirane su člankom 107. stavkom 1.
These connection costs are estimated respectively at EUR [30-40] million and EUR [20-30] million.
Komisija je procijenila da je kriterij pripisivosti naveden u članku 107.
Under the assumptions used, the resale value of equipment in place at the end of the business plan will be offset by the costs of dismantling, so that the final value of the plant will be zero.
UFEU-a ispunjen.
Turnover resulting from adjustment activities is taken into account.
U predmetnom je slučaju mjera s jedne strane pripisiva državi članici s obzirom na to da je obavijest o pozivu na podnošenje ponuda objavio ministar energetike koji je i odabrao projekt.
The assumed valuations have been described by the French authorities [10].
S druge strane, naknada isplaćena odabranom podnositelju ponude utjecat će na maloprodajnu cijenu putem pristojbe CSPE (Contribution au Service Public de l'Électricité).
This revenue constitutes less than 1,5 % of total expected income.
Komisija je u odluci Državna potpora SA.36511 (2014/C) zaključila da je pristojba CSPE državno sredstvo jer se radi o„pristojbi koju je nametnula država, koju prikuplja i kojom upravlja tijelo koje određuje država u cilju upravljanja sustavom potpora prema pravilima koje je odredila država” [11].
In its memorandum of 5 October 2016, France stated that works on site could start on […] with entry into production on […].
U pogledu postojanja prednosti za poduzeća francuska nadležna tijela smatraju da taj kriterij nije ispunjen jer poziv na podnošenje ponuda ispunjava sve kriterije iz predmeta Altmark [12].
GROUNDS FOR INITIATING THE PROCEDURE
Međutim, Komisija je procijenila da kriteriji iz sudske prakse predmeta Altmark nisu ispunjeni.
Existence of aid
Da se javna usluga ne bi smatrala državnom potporom, istodobno moraju biti ispunjena četiri sljedeća kriterija: i. poduzetniku koji prima naknadu mora biti povjereno ispunjavanje obveza javnih usluga i te usluge moraju biti jasno utvrđene, ii. parametri za nepristrano i transparentno izračunavanje iznosa naknade moraju biti unaprijed određeni, iii. naknada ne smije premašivati iznose potrebne za pokrivanje svih ili dijela troškova pretrpljenih tijekom ispunjavanja obveza javnih usluga, uzimajući u obzir mjerodavne prihode i razumnu dobit te iv. ako poduzetnik koji bi morao izvršavati obveze javnih usluga nije odabran u skladu s postupkom javne nabave, visina naknade mora se odrediti na temelju analize troškova koji bi pri izvršavanju tih obveza nastali u tipičnom poduzetniku uzimajući u obzir mjerodavne prihode i razumnu dobit od izvršavanja tih obveza.
The Commission considered that the criterion of imputability for purposes of Article 107 TFEU was met.
Komisija smatra da je drugi kriterij ispunjen, no izražava sljedeće sumnje o trima sljedećim kriterijima:
In this instance, the measure is imputable to the State in the first place because the invitation to tender was published by the Minister for Energy, who also selected the project.
U pogledu prvog kriterija (postojanje usluga od općeg gospodarskog interesa i jasno definirane obveze) Komisija je izrazila sumnje u činjenicu da se izgradnja i korištenje elektrane u Landivisiau može smatrati uslugom od javnog gospodarskog interesa ponajprije zbog nedostatka prijavljenih elemenata koji bi ukazali na problem u pouzdanosti opskrbe električnom energijom u Bretanji u prošlosti te zbog nemogućnosti država članica da specifične obveze javnih usluga pripoje postojećim uslugama koje poduzeća pružaju u uobičajenim tržišnim uvjetima i na zadovoljavajući način prema uvjetima sukladnima s općim interesom: u ovom slučaju, poduzeća koja posluju u uobičajenim tržišnim uvjetima mogla su pružiti kapacitet potreban za pouzdanost opskrbe električnom energijom u Bretanji da francuskim zakonodavstvom nije onemogućeno da se cijenom električne energije pošalju poticajna poruka za ulaganje u kapacitete u regiji.
Secondly, the remuneration paid to the successful tenderer will be passed on in retail prices via the ‘contribution to the public electricity service’ (CSPE).
Treće, mjera je diskriminirajuća u pogledu drugih tehnologija jer se odnosi samo na kombiniranu elektranu na plin.
In its decision in State aid case SA.36511 (2014/C), the Commission concluded that the CSPE was a State resource, since it was ‘a payment imposed by the State, collected and administered by a body appointed by the State, to manage an aid scheme under rules established by the State’ [11].
Stoga mjera nije neutralna s tehnološkog stajališta [13].
The French authorities took the view that there was no benefit to the undertakings involved, because the invitation to tender satisfied the tests of the Altmark judgment [12].
Četvrto, mjera nije proporcionalna jer francuska nadležna tijela nisu detaljnom analizom potreba za dodatnim kapacitetom u regiji potvrdila potrebu za proizvodnim pogonom od 450 MW [14].
The Commission considered, however, that the tests set out in Altmark were not satisfied.
Naposljetku, poziv na podnošenje ponuda dugoročno gledano može pogoršati problem pouzdanosti opskrbe: prije svega, zatvaranjem tržišta električne energije za ulaganja koja ne koriste državne potpore, zatim ne baveći se strukturnim problemom missing money [15] (nedostajući novac) za proizvođača te smanjenjem mogućnosti razvoja drugih tehnologija.
For a public service to escape being classified as State aid, all of the following four criteria must be met: (i) the recipient undertaking must actually have public service obligations to discharge, and the obligations must be clearly defined; (ii) the parameters used to calculate the compensation must be established in advance in an objective and transparent manner; (iii) the compensation cannot exceed what is necessary to cover all or part of the costs incurred in the discharge of public service obligations, taking into account the relevant receipts and a reasonable profit; and (iv) where the undertaking which is to discharge public service obligations, in a specific case, is not chosen pursuant to an invitation to tender, the level of compensation needed must be determined on the basis of an analysis of the costs which a typical undertaking would have incurred, taking into account the relevant receipts and a reasonable profit for discharging the obligations.
U pogledu trećeg kriterija (prekomjerna naknada) Komisija je izrazila sumnje u nepostojanje prekomjernih naknada zbog nepostojanja mehanizma povrata prema budućim uvjetima tržišta s jedne strane te uvjeta poziva na podnošenje ponuda koji ne jamče da neće doći do prekomjerne naknade s druge strane.
The Commission considered that the second test was satisfied, but it had doubts about the other three.
U pogledu četvrtog kriterija (odabir pružatelja usluga prema kriteriju najniže cijene) Komisija sumnja da je pozivom na podnošenje ponuda omogućen izbor kandidata koji bi pružio usluge po najnižoj cijeni za zajednicu zbog izrazito ograničavajućih kriterija za pravilan odabir pružatelja usluga: odabir kombinirane elektrane na plin kao jedine prihvatljive tehnologije čija cijena nije nužno i najniža, iznos premije ponderirane u visini od 45 %, pretjerano ograničeno zemljopisno područje, kriteriji odabira koji se odnose na drugi dio PEB-a, poput okolišnih kriterija, i koji ne mogu pridonijeti izboru ponude po najnižoj cijeni za zajednicu.
On the first test (the existence of a service of general economic interest (‘SGEI’) and a clearly defined mandate), the Commission expressed doubt as to whether the installation and operation of the Landivisiau plant could be qualified as an SGEI, firstly because of the failure to provide documentary evidence that there had been a problem of security of electricity supply in Brittany in the past, and secondly because Member States could not tie specific public service obligations to services that were already being provided satisfactorily, or that could potentially be so provided, on terms compatible with the general interest, by undertakings operating in normal market conditions: in the case in hand, undertakings operating under normal market conditions would have been able to provide the capacity required to guarantee security of supply in Brittany if French regulations had not prevented electricity prices from sending the right signals to encourage investment in capacity in the region.
Zbog sumnji koje je izrazila o tome ispunjava li mjera uvjete iz predmeta Altmark, Komisija je u preliminarnoj analizi procijenila da je mjera mogla staviti odabranog ponuditelja u povlašteni položaj jer je selektivno odabrano samo jedno poduzeće, odnosno CEB.
Thirdly, the measure also discriminated against other technologies, since it related only to CCG technology.
U pogledu učinka na tržišno natjecanje i trgovinu Komisija procjenjuje da bi mjera mogla utjecati na trgovinu i tržišno natjecanje ako odabrani ponuditelj korištenjem povlaštene mjere konkurira drugim načinima proizvodnje električne energije i drugim dobavljačima kapaciteta na tržištima otvorenima tržišnom natjecanju (tržište prodaje električne energije, mehanizam prilagodbe).
The measure was thus not technologically neutral [13].
Analiza spojivosti
Fourthly, the measure was not proportionate, because the need for a 450 MW production plant had not been substantiated by the French authorities via a detailed analysis of the requirement for additional capacity in the region [14].
Podsjetnik na pravni okvir
Lastly, in the long term, the invitation to tender was likely to aggravate the problem of security of supply, by closing off the electricity market to investments which did not receive State support, by failing to resolve or indeed aggravating the producer's structural problem of ‘missing money’ [15], and by reducing the scope for developing other technologies.
Komisija je u odluci o pokretanju postupka navela da bi mjeru trebalo promatrati u skladu s člankom 107.
On the third test (no overcompensation), the Commission doubted whether overcompensation could be ruled out, given both the lack of a clawback mechanism to reflect future market conditions, and the tendering procedures, which offered no guarantees against the risk of overcompensation.
UFEU-a pod pretpostavkom da su njezine sumnje povezane s ispunjenošću svih kriterija iz predmeta Altmark potvrđene.
On the fourth test (selection of the provider with the lowest cost), the Commission had doubts over whether the invitation to tender had made it possible to select the provider capable of providing the service at the least cost to the community, because the criteria were too restrictive to allow a real choice of service provider: choosing exclusively CCG technology, which was not necessarily the cheapest option, weighting the amount of the premium at 45 %, an excessive restriction of the geographical location, and selection criteria designed to contribute to other aspects of the PEB, such as environmental considerations, which were not conducive to the selection of the tender offering the lowest cost to the public purse.
Mjeru bi stoga trebalo analizirati prema Smjernicama o državnim potporama za zaštitu okoliša iz 2014. („LDAEE”) [16], u kojima se utvrđuju uvjeti prema kojima se potpore za energiju mogu smatrati spojivima s unutarnjim tržištem na temelju članka 107.
Because of its doubts over the measure's compliance with the tests defined in the Altmark case, the Commission in its preliminary analysis took the view that the measure might confer a benefit on the successful tenderer, and that the benefit would be selective, because it was awarded to a single undertaking, CEB.
UFEU-a.
Turning to the impact on competition and the effect on trade, the Commission considered that the measure could affect trade and competition because the successful tenderer, enjoying the benefit of an advantageous measure, would be competing with other forms of electricity generation and other suppliers of capacity on markets open to competition (the market for the sale of electricity and the adjustment mechanism).
(48) Podredno, Komisija je navela da će se, ako sumnje izražene u vezi s definiranjem obveza javnih usluga ne budu potvrđene, provjeriti spojivost s obzirom na Komunikaciju Komisije o smjernicama Europske unije primjenjivima na državne potpore dodijeljene u obliku naknada za obavljanje javnih usluga (2011.).
Compatibility analysis
Procjena spojivosti
Legal context
U pogledu cilja od zajedničkog interesa Komisija je izrazila sumnje u činjenicu da mjera pridonosi zajedničkom cilju pouzdanosti opskrbe električnom energijom: S jedne strane, čini se da cilj mjere nije jasno definiran (opći nedostatak kapaciteta, vršna potrošnja), a s druge strane, mjerom se ne bi mogle srednjoročno ispraviti nepravilnosti zakonodavstva i tržišta koje trenutačno onemogućavaju postizanje zadovoljavajuće razine ulaganja u Bretanji.
In its opening decision the Commission said that if its doubts as to compliance with all the Altmark criteria were confirmed, the measure would have to be assessed for compatibility with Article 107 TFEU.
Nužnost mjere nije dovoljno dokazana bez zadovoljavajuće kvantifikacije nedostatka kapaciteta na sezonskom vrhuncu ili u razdoblju vršne potrošnje.
In that case the measure would have to be analysed by reference to the 2014 Guidelines on State aid for environmental protection and energy (‘EEAG’) [16], which set out the conditions under which aid to energy can be considered compatible with the internal market on the basis of Article 107 TFEU.
Nadalje, nužnost mjere može biti dovedena u pitanje i mogućnošću uvođenja prikladnih lokalnih cijena koje bi slale cjenovne signale kojima bi se ulaganja potaknula i bez dodjele potpore.
In the alternative, the Commission said that if the doubts it had expressed concerning the definition of a public service obligation were not confirmed, the compatibility of the measure would have to be examined by reference to the Commission Communication on the European Union framework for State aid in the form of public service compensation (2011).
Komisija nije uvjerena da je mjera prikladna.
The need for the measure had not been properly demonstrated, in the absence of a satisfactory quantification of the capacity shortfall at seasonal peaks or in the peak period.
Nadalje, mjerom se ne predviđa mehanizam povrata u slučaju neočekivane dobiti.
The necessity of the measure was also open to challenge given the possibility of introducing appropriate local pricing that would send price signals likely to encourage investment without recourse to aid.
Komisija je na kraju izrazila sumnje u to mogu li se mjerom spriječiti negativni i neželjeni učinci na tržišno natjecanje i trgovinu među državama članicama.
The Commission was not satisfied that the measure was appropriate.
Prvo, mjera nije neutralna s tehnološkog stajališta.
Firstly, the French authorities did not seem to have given proper consideration to alternatives (subdividing the pricing zone, smart meters, or strengthening the distribution grid).
Naime, nije otvorena drugim mjerama za rješavanje prikladnosti kapaciteta, kao što su ograničenja, interkonekcija, skladištenje, ali i druge tehnologije (plinske turbine).
Further doubts arose because of the restrictive nature of the measure, targeted on the type of capacity suppliers that were able to respond to the invitation to tender (the tender being limited to a single type of technology, CCG).
Drugo, uzimajući u obzir da Direct Energie može prodavati proizvedenu energiju EDF-u po diskontnoj stopi od 5 % umjesto da je sama prodaje, Komisija sumnja da bi se mjerom ojačao položaj EDF-a na tržištu opskrbe električnom energijom.
Lastly, the measure offered no encouragement of demand-side response.
PRIMJEDBE ZAINTERESIRANIH STRANA
The Commission also had reservations about proportionality: the restrictive nature of the invitation to tender might have prevented competitors from participating, whereas broader participation might have made it possible to minimise the level of aid.
Tijekom razdoblja konzultacija Komisija je, osim od Francuske, zaprimila još 58 odgovora zainteresiranih strana u odnosu na odluku o pokretanju postupka.
The measure also made no provision for a clawback mechanism in the event of windfall profits.
Ti su odgovori grupirani po temama navedenima u nastavku.
Lastly, the Commission expressed doubts as to whether the measure could avoid an undesirable negative impact on competition and trade between Member States.
Odgovori će biti razmotreni tijekom ocjene mjere.
Firstly, the measure was not technologically neutral.
Zajednički interes
It excluded other measures that might help to resolve the capacity problem: demand-side response, interconnection, storage solutions, and also other technologies (such as combustion turbines).
Trideset i devet zainteresiranih strana smatra da su francuska nadležna tijela precijenila rizik od prekida opskrbe električnom energijom.
Secondly, in view of the option given to Direct Energie to sell the energy produced to EDF at a 5 % discount rather than marketing it itself, the Commission was concerned about the risk of strengthening the position of EDF on the energy supply market.
Naime, čak i tijekom iznimnog vala hladnoće 2012. nije došlo do prekida opskrbe električnom energijom.
COMMENTS BY INTERESTED PARTIES
Mogući prekidi u opskrbi električnom energijom bili su izazvani vanjskim čimbenicima, koji nisu povezani s radom mreže (poput pada drveća).
During the period of consultation on the opening decision, the Commission received 58 responses from interested parties other than the French State.
Tijekom posljednjeg ozbiljnog prekida opskrbe koji je u Francuskoj zabilježen 1978. tri četvrtine države na nekoliko je sati ostalo bez električne energije, no ta se situacija nikada nije ponovila jer je RTE poduzeo potrebne mjere kako se sličan slučaj ne bi ponovio.
These responses are grouped by topic below.
S druge strane, ostale primjedbe zainteresiranih strana naglašavaju sukladnost mjere s ciljem od zajedničkog interesa.
They will be addressed in the course of the assessment of the measure.
Dvadesetak zainteresiranih strana smatra da pouzdanost opskrbe električnom energijom u Bretanji nije učinkovita.
Common interest
Uz specifičan zemljopisni položaj Bretanje, koja se nalazi na kraju voda, slaba je i lokalna proizvodnja električne energije koja pokriva samo 13,3 % potrošnje [17].
Thirty-nine interested parties believe that the French authorities overestimate the danger of power cuts.
Proizvodnim postrojenjima u Bretanji nedostaju bazne elektrane koje bi samostalno zadovoljile potražnju, što opravdava izgradnju kombinirane elektrane na plin.
Even during the exceptionally cold weather in 2012, no such power cuts occurred.
Naime, iako je u regiji proizvodnja energije iz obnovljivih izvora u porastu, zbog nestalnosti izvora potrebno je postaviti baznu elektranu koja bi nadoknadila njihovu eventualnu nedostatnost tijekom razdoblja vršne potrošnje.
The cuts that did take place in Brittany were caused by factors external to the operation of the grid, such as falling trees.
