Therefore, the distance over which the electricity needs to be transported is relatively low, which would reduce transport losses and the need to have devices to ensure reactive power.
To je vidljivo iz činjenice da je iznos dodatne pristojbe iz članka 19. prilagođen financijskim potrebama nastalima zbog potpunog izuzeća.
Also certain interested parties have indicated that end users are subject to technical specifications when they want to be connected to the grid and that this requires certain investments which improve voltage control without being remunerated.
Komisija se stoga ne slaže s Njemačkom i zainteresiranim stranama da su mrežni operateri mogli upotrebljavati prihode od dodatne pristojbe iz članka 19. kako su htjeli.
Also, Germany argues that conventional power plants were needed to ensure a secured management of the network at a time when renewable electricity started to be deployed more rapidly and when flexibility solutions for the electricity system had not yet been developed (like demand-response) as they deliver important ancillary services to the network and that in order to maintain the existence of those conventional power plants, baseload consumers were needed, in particular in the light of the increasing share of electricity produced from renewable energy sources.
S obzirom na prethodno navedeno primjećuje se da se uvođenjem dodatne pristojbe iz članka 19. jamčilo mrežnim operaterima da će se njihovi gubitci prihoda nastali zbog izuzeća dodijeljenog na temelju druge rečenice članka 19. stavka 2.
At the same time, Germany argues that the stable offtake of electricity by baseload consumers ensured that renewable electricity was always consumed when it was produced, which reduced the necessity to adopt (other and more costly) network stabilizing measures (curtailment).
StromNEV-a iz 2011. u potpunosti nadoknaditi i stoga se ono razlikuje od situacije u predmetima PreussenElektra i ENEA, u kojima su poduzetnici s obvezom kupnje morali financirati obvezu svojim vlastitim financijskim sredstvima i nisu mogli prenijeti te troškove na svoje korisnike.
This facilitated the energy transition and contributed to the promotion of renewable electricity.
U tom pogledu ne može se prihvatiti stajalište zainteresiranih strana da ne postoji obvezna namjenska veza između prihoda od dodatne pristojbe iz članka 19. i financiranja izuzeća iz druge rečenice članka 19. stavka 2.
It is noted in general that the objectives of ensuring security of supply and of promoting renewable electricity have been recognized as constituting objectives of common interest.
StromNEV-a iz 2011.
It is noted however, that it is not clearly established that the full exemption could contribute to and was appropriate to reach the attainment of the objectives of security of supply and the promotion of renewable electricity.
Činjenica je da se od 2012. izuzeće od naknada za upotrebu mreže moglo financirati isključivo putem dodatne pristojbe iz članka 19. koja se računala tako da u potpunosti odgovara financijskim potrebama nastalima zbog izuzeća.
In particular, Germany has not demonstrated that the full exemption could contribute and was appropriate to reach the objectives pursued.
Na temelju tih elemenata Komisija ostaje pri svojem zaključku da se mora smatrati da je prednost dodijeljena potrošačima baznog opterećenja u obliku potpunog izuzeća u 2012. i 2013. financirana putem državnih sredstava.
As will be explained below, the full exemption leads to contradictory results in terms of the objectives attained and could even constitute a hindrance for the attainment of the objectives concerned.
Financiranje putem državnih sredstava prije uvođenja dodatne pristojbe iz članka 19.
Baseload consumption can constitute an obstacle to the objective of promoting renewable electricity and security of supply
(2011.)
In order to demonstrate that the full exemption from network charges granted under the second sentence of Paragraph 19(2) sentence of the StromNEV 2011 could contribute to and was appropriate to ensure security of supply between 2011 and 2013, Germany has referred to a certain number of characteristics of baseload consumers that facilitate network management and that benefit all network users: their stable and predictable demand reduces the need for balancing measures, reserves and re-dispatching.
Iako se potpuno izuzeće iz druge rečenice članka 19. stavka 2.
Also, being located generally closer to power plants, they cause less electricity losses during transport and less need for reactive power compensation devices.
StromNEV-a iz 2011. primjenjivalo od 1. siječnja 2011., dodatna pristojba iz članka 19. stupila je na snagu tek 1. siječnja 2012. (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 40. ove Odluke).
It is noted that these elements can reduce network costs and facilitate network management and could indirectly be considered as facilitating the TSO's obligations in ensuring security of supply.
Komisija je stoga u svojoj odluci o pokretanju postupka ispitala jesu li i izuzeća dodijeljena u 2011. financirana putem državnih sredstava i pozvala Njemačku da dostavi dodatne informacije o tome kako je potpuno izuzeće financirano 2011.
However, assuming that exactly the same characteristics that were already taken into account to justify individual network charges can again be taken into account to consider that the exemption would pursue an objective of common interest, the exemption would in any event not be necessary, would not have any additional incentive effect and would not ensure the proportionality of the aid as explained more in detail below (sections 5.3.2.2 to 5.3.2.4).
Na temelju dodatnih informacija koje je dostavila Njemačka, no uzimajući u obzir i primjedbe zainteresiranih strana, Komisija smatra da mehanizam financiranja koji je bio na snazi u 2011. nije uključivao državna sredstva.
In addition, as will be seen below, the exemption and the conditions under which it is granted could also constitute a hindrance to flexibility measures that Germany introduced in 2013 to promote security of supply (recital 179 below) and could also increase the costs of the promotion of renewable electricity (recital 181 below).
Kako je Njemačka objasnila (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 77.), a agencija BNetzA izričito iznijela u regulatornoj odluci od 14. prosinca 2011., u 2011. nije postojao mehanizam naknada i prijeboja.
For those reasons, the exemption cannot be viewed as appropriate to reach the objectives of security of supply and promotion of renewable electricity.
Konkretno, još se nisu primjenjivale šesta i sedma rečenica članka 19. stavka 2.
Germany and interested parties also mention that the full exemption would be useful for frequency regulation and voltage control.
StromNEV-a iz 2011.
It is noted, however, that the frequency regulation and the voltage control that Germany and interested parties are referring to do not correspond to a service delivered by the baseload consumers but by conventional power plants, which both Germany and interested parties admit in their submissions.
Umjesto toga, kako je utvrđeno u regulatornoj odluci od 14. prosinca 2011., gubitke prihoda nastale 2011. zbog potpunog izuzeća ODS-i i OPS-i morali su pokriti vlastitim sredstvima.
In fact, the argument made is that baseload consumers are needed to maintain the viability of conventional power plants.
Gubitak prihoda u 2011. morao se knjižiti na regulatorni račun ako nije nadoknađen drugim povećanjem prihoda odnosno vlastitim sredstvima OPS-â i ODS-â.
This argument is examined under recitals 183-188 and reference is made to those findings.
Ako su na kraju regulatornog razdoblja koje je završilo 2013. gubitci prihoda u 2011. nadoknađeni dodatnim prihodima iz drugih godina tog regulatornog razdoblja, tada se gubitci nisu nadoknađivali i morali su ih vlastitim sredstvima pokriti OPS-i i ODS-i.
As far as the contribution to the five stage load shedding plan is concerned, reference is made to the observations made under recital 97 where it is concluded that the full exemption could not be viewed as the remuneration for participation in the five stage load shedding plan.
Samo kada se nisu mogli prebiti dodatnim prihodima u regulatornom razdoblju koje je završilo 2013., gubitci prihoda u 2011. mogli su se nadoknaditi u sljedećem regulatornom razdoblju.
As to devices that baseload consumers need to install in order to comply with the requirement that the shift factor remains between + 0,9 and – 0,9, it has already been observed that this obligation aims at ensuring the safe and normal management of the grid and is imposed on any consumer requesting for access to the grid and not just baseload consumers (see recital 99 and following).
No čak i u toj situaciji nije bilo jamstva potpune naknade.
It can thus hardly be seen as justifying an exemption for baseload consumers.
Umjesto toga iznos naknade ovisio je o drugim čimbenicima, posebno o učinkovitosti (ili neučinkovitosti) ODS-a i OPS-a jer se ARegV ne temelji na stvarnim troškovima nego na optimalnim troškovima učinkovitog poduzetnika.
It is noted further that in its submissions Germany indicated that the full exemption induced value for security of supply only for a transitory period (2011 to 2013) pending the introduction of various measures to make the electricity system more flexible.
Stoga mrežni operateri nisu imali nikakvo jamstvo da će im se nadoknaditi gubitci prihoda nastali 2011. zbog potpunog izuzeća.
However, already in 2012 did Germany adopt the Ordinance on interruptible load contracts (‘ABLAV Ordinance’) aiming at purchasing three gigawatt (‘GW’) of interruptible load to flexibilise demand.
Drugim riječima, mrežni operateri morali su 2011. financirati potpuno izuzeće vlastitim financijskim sredstvima.
It entered into force in 2013 (the last year of the full exemption) and was based on Paragraph 13(4a) of the EnWG 2011.
Komisija stoga zaključuje da se prednost dodijeljena potrošačima baznog opterećenja u obliku potpunog izuzeća od naknada za upotrebu mreže u 2011. morala financirati putem vlastitih sredstava mrežnih operatera i nije bila financirana putem državnih sredstava.
The purpose was to make available to network operators interruptible loads to address situations in which there is too much demand compared to the available generation.
UČINAK NA TRGOVINU MEĐU DRŽAVAMA ČLANICAMA
Those situations can occur more often in electricity systems with high (intermittent) renewable penetration given that a sudden drop in the wind or the sun radiation leads to a sudden decrease of generation.
U skladu s ustaljenom sudskom praksom Suda, da bi se nacionalna mjera mogla smatrati državnom potporom, nije potrebno utvrditi ima li potpora stvaran učinak na trgovinu među državama članicama, nego isključivo ispitati je li ta potpora mogla utjecati na tu trgovinu.
Also wind and solar energy can be lower than initially expected based on the weather forecast.
Konkretno, kada se potporom koju je dodijelila država članica jača položaj određenog poduzetnika u odnosu na druge poduzetnike koji se natječu na tržištu Zajednice, smatra se da ta potpora utječe na takvu trgovinu.
It is observed however, that the full exemption for baseload consumers actually constitutes an incentive for those consumers not to offer interruptible load under the ABLAV Ordinance given that they would then not reach the 7000 hours of full use and thus runs against the objectives of another measure aimed at security of supply.
Kako je prethodno navedeno, velika većina predmetnih poduzetnika posluje u području kemijske industrije (uključujući industrijske plinove), papira, tekstila, čelika, obojenih metala, rafinerija nafte i proizvodnje stakla.
For 2013, the full exemption therefore constituted a hindrance to another measure ensuring security of supply by de-incentivizing baseload consumers from offering interruptible load.
Neki korisnici pružaju i usluge upravljanja podatkovnim centrima.
In addition, Germany has argued that the exempted baseload consumption would contribute to the promotion of renewable electricity by reducing the costs of such promotion.
Svi ti sektori otvoreni su za trgovinu među državama članicama koja uključuje prekograničnu razmjenu robe.
In particular, Germany has indicated that the stable offtake of electricity by baseload consumers ensured that renewable electricity was always consumed when it was produced, which reduced the necessity to curtail and compensate the renewable electricity installations in case of curtailment.
Budući da se potpunim izuzećem predmetni poduzetnici izuzimaju od troškova koje poduzetnici koji posluju u istom sektoru u drugim državama članicama moraju snositi sami (naknade za upotrebu mreže), njime se jača položaj izuzetih poduzetnika u usporedbi s drugim poduzetnicima koji se natječu u trgovini unutar Zajednice i stoga potpuno izuzeće od naknada za upotrebu mreže može utjecati na trgovinu među državama članicama.
It is noted that indeed, in the absence in 2011-2013 of storage installations coupled with renewable electricity installations and in the absence also of flexible demand and incentives to increase consumption at times when renewable electricity is abundant, the existence of baseload consumption could indirectly reduce the likelihood that renewable electricity installations be curtailed.
UTJECAJ NA TRŽIŠNO NATJECANJE
The exemption could therefore be viewed as facilitating the promotion of renewable electricity.
Smatra se da mjera koju je dodijelila država narušava ili prijeti da će narušiti tržišno natjecanje ako bi mogla poboljšati konkurentan položaj primatelja u odnosu na ostale poduzetnike s kojima se natječe.
However, the exemption could also indirectly increase the costs of the promotion of renewable electricity.
Proizvodni sektori u kojima izuzeti poduzetnici obično posluju i tržište za podatkovne centre otvoreni su za tržišno natjecanje.
Indeed, when renewable electricity is not available due to the sudden decrease of wind or sun, the inflexibility of baseload consumers induced by the exemption will make it necessary to ramp up conventional power plants, most likely coal-fired or gas-fired power plants to cover the demand of baseload consumers in case of sudden drops in intermittent renewable electricity generation.
U mnogim od tih sektora troškovi električne energije imaju velik udio u troškovima proizvodnje, što je Njemačka potvrdila u svojem dopisu od 6. prosinca 2013. za područje papira, cementa, kemijske sektore te aluminijsku industriju i industrije ostalih metala.
This could be perceived as increasing the costs of the promotion of renewable electricity.
U tom kontekstu potpunim izuzećem od naknada za upotrebu mreže smanjuju se troškovi proizvodnje izuzetih poduzetnika.
Finally, it is noted that the exemption is granted to baseload consumers irrespective of where they are located.
Stoga je moguće da će se njime poboljšati konkurentan položaj korisnika izuzeća u odnosu na njihove konkurente u drugim državama članicama.
However, as the 2012 Study shows (section 2.3) under certain conditions the network can be congested because the electricity produced for instance in the North is exceeding the transmission capacity needed to deliver the electricity to the South where the consumption point is located.
Vjerojatno je i da će se time poboljšati njihov konkurentan položaj u odnosu na poduzetnike iz istog sektora čija godišnja potrošnja električne energije ne doseže 10 GWh i 7000 sati maksimalne upotrebe.
That congestion could be linked to strong wind conditions.
Stoga potpuno izuzeće prijeti da će narušiti tržišno natjecanje.
In fact the 2012 Study contains a scenario (Figure 2.3) in which strong wind conditions are simulated to identify potential network bottlenecks.
Napominje se da se učinak na trgovinu i narušavanje tržišnog natjecanja ne mogu isključiti zbog navodnih viših troškova električne energije u Njemačkoj u usporedbi s troškovima električne energije u drugim državama članicama.
In such situation, it is necessary to curtail power plants that are located before the bottleneck and ramp up power plants located after the bottleneck.
Drugom rečenicom članka 19. stavka 2.
Redispatching measures involve compensation both to the curtailed power plants and to the power plants that need to ramp up.
StromNEV-a iz 2011. potrošačima baznog opterećenja dodijeljeno je potpuno izuzeće od naknada za upotrebu mreže.
If the baseload consumer is located after the bottleneck, he will not reduce the costs of renewable electricity support but increase them.
Zbog toga ti potrošači nisu imali nikakvo financijsko opterećenje koje bi proizlazilo iz upotrebe elektroenergetske mreže, dok su konkurentni poduzetnici u drugim državama članicama morali plaćati naknade za upotrebu mreže.
As the full exemption is devoid of any locational signal and being granted without any consideration for network bottlenecks, the exemption could increase the costs of renewable electricity deployment.
Osim toga, Sud je već presudio da činjenica da država članica nastoji jednostranim mjerama ujednačiti uvjete tržišnog natjecanja u nekom gospodarskom sektoru s uvjetima u drugim državama članicama ne znači da predmetne mjere nemaju značajke potpore.
Unclear link between the full exemption and the security of supply
ZAKLJUČAK O POSTOJANJU POTPORE
Germany has also argued that the exemption would (indirectly) contribute to security of supply because it would ensure the presence of constant consumption which is itself a prerequisite for conventional generation capacities, which it considers to be necessary not only to provide network stabilizing services but also to meet the electricity demands in a market environment that is increasingly marked by flexible and decentralized generation capacities based on renewables energies.
S obzirom na prethodno navedeno potpuno izuzeće od naknada za upotrebu mreže koje je bilo na snazi 2012. i 2013. za potrošače baznog opterećenja čija godišnja potrošnja električne energije premašuje 10 GWh i doseže 7000 sati maksimalne upotrebe jest državna potpora u mjeri u kojoj su njime ti potrošači izuzeti od plaćanja troškova mreže uzrokovanih svojom potrošnjom električne energije i od plaćanja minimalnog doprinosa od 20 % objavljenih naknada za upotrebu mreže.
Germany and several interested parties have submitted that conventional power plants (equipped with synchronous generators) deliver a certain number of important network services that network operators need to keep the network in operation, principally voltage regulation and frequency regulation.
Izuzeće od naknada za upotrebu mreže dodijeljeno 2011. nije bilo financirano putem državnih sredstava i stoga se ne smatra državnom potporom.
They argue that if conventional plants do not run on a continuous basis, those system services would be more difficult to acquire and in any event more expensive (for instance due to the need for a larger reserve).
NEZAKONITOST
Conventional power plants could however only operate on a constant basis if there is sufficient constant demand to consume the electricity produced.
Budući da nije obavijestila o mjeri prije njezine provedbe, Njemačka nije ispunila svoje obveze iz članka 108. stavka 3.
More specifically, Germany claims that the 2012 Study shows that Germany would need in coming years between 8 and 25 GW of conventional power plants to ensure secured network management and has argued that in order to maintain those conventional power plants a constant and stable demand was needed.
Ugovora.
It is noted first that the 2012 Study was realised after the full exemption was granted, which excludes its use to show the necessity of the full exemption to ensure the viability of the concerned conventional power plants.
Stoga je mjera potpore nezakonita državna potpora.
In addition, as will be shown below, the contribution of the exemption to the security of supply is not established.
SPOJIVOST S UNUTARNJIM TRŽIŠTEM
Second, the 2012 Study does not itself refer to the need to secure a certain minimum constant consumption nor has Germany indicated how the baseload consumers relate to the minimum conventional generation needs.
Procjena spojivosti u nastavku obuhvaća samo potpuno izuzeće dodijeljeno potrošačima baznog opterećenja u 2012. i 2013. u mjeri u kojoj se smatra potporom (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 160.).
Germany has merely explained that the baseload consumers by their constant offtake constituted an incentive for conventional power plants to remain on the market.
U odluci o pokretanju postupka Komisija je iznijela svoje sumnje o tome može li se potpuno izuzeće od naknada za upotrebu mreže za potrošače baznog opterećenja smatrati spojivim s unutarnjim tržištem.
However, the 2012 Study makes a distinction between conventional baseload plants (i.e. to nuclear power plants, run-of-river power plants and lignite power plants) and conventional power plants that are more flexible.
Stoga je Komisija pozvala Njemačku da dostavi dodatne primjedbe o spojivosti potpunog izuzeća s unutarnjim tržištem.
The minimum generation need refers to both types of generation.
Njemačka je tvrdila da se potpuno izuzeće može proglasiti spojivim na temelju članka 107. stavka 3. točke (b) ili (c) Ugovora jer su mu ciljevi bili sljedeći:
Germany and third parties, however, in their arguments do not make this distinction and have not explained how baseload consumption relates to both types of generation.
jamčiti sigurnost opskrbe električnom energijom,
When they refer to conventional power plants, they seem to refer to baseload power plants only given that they refer to constant production and the need to have equally constant consumption.
olakšati promicanje električne energije iz obnovljivih izvora,
By contrast, the 2012 Study makes clear that the conventional generation needed cannot only be baseload.
provesti sustav pristupa mreži kojim se ne diskriminira nijedan korisnik sustava u skladu sa zahtjevima iz članka 32.
The 2012 Study in fact insists on the flexibility needs of the system and the time necessary to modify and adapt generation to fluctuations.
Direktive 2009/72/EZ,
It is hard to see what the relationship is between those flexible plants and baseload consumers.
osigurati da troškovi mreže odražavaju stvarne troškove kako je utvrđeno člankom 14.
Indeed, as already mentioned in recital 96, for conventional power plants that can be ramped up rapidly like gas turbines, baseload consumers will not constitute an incentive to remain on the market as their profitability is linked to the possibility to obtain higher electricity prices when the system is under stress.
Uredbe (EZ) br. 714/2009.
In addition, the argument that the exemption would contribute to security of supply because helping to secure the existence of (baseload) conventional power plants is based on a circular reasoning: As baseload consumers themselves require continuous electricity supply they are themselves accountable for a part of the minimum generation identified in the 2012 Study.
Njemačka je općenito smatrala da će potpuno izuzeće ojačati konkurentnost europske industrije i da je u skladu s Unijinim ciljem reindustrijalizacije Europe.
By arguing that baseload consumers are needed to maintain the operation of power plants, Germany and the interested parties are using a circular argument insofar as those power plants are required to cover those consumers' own demand.
SPOJIVOST NA TEMELJU ČLANKA 107.
Such an argument cannot support the view that the full exemption was appropriate to achieve security of supply.
STAVKA 3.
Finally, it is noted that Germany's and interested parties' argument rests on the assumption that baseload consumers are decisive to secure the offtake of the electricity produced by those plants and their viability.
TOČKE (b)
However, the 2012 Study reveals that the existence of baseload consumers is not sufficient to ensure constant offtake from baseload power plants and to guarantee their viability.
Kad je riječ o prvom temelju spojivosti koji je iznijela Njemačka, primjećuje se da potpuno izuzeće nije povezano s nijednim posebnim i konkretnim „važnim projektom od zajedničkog europskog interesa”.
