It follows that the revenue from the special contribution earmarked for financing the 2005 deficit allows system users to pay electricity bills, with the increase needed to balance the 2005 system accounts ex post, with a significant time lag.
Glej opombo 1.
Under these circumstances, the only debatable aspect of the method chosen in 2006 to repay the 2005 electricity system deficit and balance the accounts would be the low interest rate initially applied to the annual repayments, namely the Euribor reference rate without any spread.
Člen 12(2) zakona LSE je določal, da so se tarife električne energije načeloma določale enkrat letno, vendar jih je bilo mogoče med letom prilagoditi.
As described in more detail in recitals 96 and 97, Spain has undertaken to increase the interest rate applicable to the business users which are the subject of the present proceedings.
V skladu s členom 8 kraljevega odloka 1432/2002 se povprečna tarifa ni mogla povišati za več kot 1,40 % (glede na prejšnje leto), medtem ko so se lahko posamezne tarife povišale le za delež, ki je bil enak povišanju povprečne tarife:
Spain undertakes to apply a spread of 65 basis points over the reference interest rate.
+ 0,60 % (skupaj 2 %).
In addition, the application of a surcharge on the tariff means that the total amount recovered is, for each company, directly proportional to its electricity consumption.
Uradni list Španije št. 62, 14.3.2005, str. 8832.
The more electricity consumed, the higher the surcharge.
Nasedli stroški so izgube, ki so jih prvotni dobavitelji električne energije utrpeli zaradi nepovračljivih stroškov naložb, izvedenih pred liberalizacijo.
Comparison with electricity market prices
Španija je maloprodajni trg električne energije liberalizirala prej, kot se je to zahtevalo z direktivama o električni energiji iz let 1996 in 2003, ki sta določali časovni okvir za liberalizacijo poslovnih končnih uporabnikov med letoma 1999 in 2004 (tako da se začne z največjimi), medtem ko je bila liberalizacija za segment gospodinjstev obvezna šele od 1. julija 2007.
Secondly, as noted by some interested parties, prices recorded in the electricity pool are not adequate benchmarks for comparing the electricity prices paid by large consumers under regulated tariffs with market prices.
UL L 176, 15.7.2003, str. 37.
Indeed, based on the evidence in the 2005 report of the electricity market operator OMEL, only seven end-users accounting for 5 % of demand were sourcing electricity directly from the pool, compared with hundreds of industrial and large business users.
Člen 3(3) direktive o električni energiji določa:
Industrial and other large consumers, in particular energy-intensive consumers for whom energy accounts for a sizeable proportion of their production costs (typically 30-40 % for aluminium production) require and obtain predictable price and supply conditions.
„Države članice zagotovijo, da vsi gospodinjski odjemalci in, kjer po mnenju držav članice to ustreza, mala podjetja (namreč podjetja z manj kot 50 zaposlenimi in z letnim prometom ali letno bilančno vsoto, ki ne presega 10 milijonov EUR), uživajo univerzalne storitve, to je pravico do oskrbe na njihovem območju z električno energijo določene kakovosti po razumnih, lahko in jasno primerljivih ter preglednih cenah.
These conditions are established in contracts with longer terms than day-ahead.
Da bi države članice zagotovile ponudbo univerzalnih storitev, lahko imenujejo dobavitelja zadnje instance.“
The prices quoted hourly on a day-ahead market such as the electricity pool are illustrative of average market prices for suppliers serving a varied portfolio of customers, including households.
Družba Centrica je odjemalce razdelila v pet skupin.
They are, however, not adequate benchmarks for determining the prices which energy-intensive users should pay in the free market under contracts with longer terms than day-ahead.
Ta razdelitev ne ustreza strukturi reguliranih tarif, objavljeni v odloku o letnih tarifah, kot je naveden v uvodni izjavi 17.
Contrary to the opinion given in the opening decision, the investigation has shown that regulated tariffs lower than average pool prices do not necessarily imply an advantage over market conditions for industrial users, since the pool prices are not market prices for most of these users.
Glej točki (b) in (c) Priloge A k direktivi o električni energiji.
This dispels the doubts raised in this connection.

Moreover, in Spain, the option of switching to the free market was not irreversible in 2005.
Sodba Sodišča v združenih zadevah Van Calster, C-261/01 in C-262/01, prav tam, točki 49 in 50.
Consumers were constantly able to choose between the most attractive offers in the regulated and free markets, which led to a degree of price convergence.
Odločba Komisije z dne 25. julija 2001, državna pomoč N 49/99 – Španija.
The reversibility of supply options tends necessarily to depress retail market prices in situations of wholesale price-hikes like those in Spain from April 2005, whereas the opposite incentive to increase free market prices to bring them closer to the highest regulated tariff levels appears when the situation is reversed.
Prehodna ureditev za trg električne energije.
As confirmed by the association of independent suppliers (recitals 42-49), in 2005 suppliers in the free market had to honour their contracts or terminate them unilaterally, if this was possible, or else renegotiate their prices and adjust them upwards, taking the risk that their customers might switch to the regulated market.
Dopis Komisije Združenemu kraljestvu z dne 27. februarja 2002 (državna pomoč N 661/99).
The operating losses that the free market suppliers claim to have incurred indicate that prices in the free market in 2005, especially for one-year contracts which were honoured, remained close to the respective regulated tariff levels, and, accordingly, that regulated tariffs did not de facto confer an economic advantage compared with actual prices in the free market.
UL L 83, 27.3.1999, str. 1.
This implies, therefore, that two hypothetical competing industrial users, one operating under a free market-based one-year electricity supply contract from January to December 2005 and the other obtaining supplies at regulated tariffs in the same period faced, all other things being equal, similar electricity costs.
Castro Rodriguez, F. (1999), Wright tariffs in the Spanish electricity industry, The case of residential consumption, Utilities Policy, str. 17–31.
In fact, the only effect that the level of the regulated tariffs had on prices in the free market in 2005 was to confer on free-market users the indirect benefit of limiting price increases, even assuming that these increases were contractually possible during the year or, in the longer term, in the whole of 2005.
Sodba Sodišča z dne 17. marca 1993 v združenih zadevah C-72/91 in C-73/91, točka 21:
The actual or potential competition between industrial users obtaining electricity in the free and regulated markets could not distort regulated tariffs.
„Obravnavani sistem si prek svojega predmeta in splošne strukture ne prizadeva ustvariti prednosti, ki bi pomenila dodatno breme za državo.“
Thirdly, in its opening decision, the Commission referred in particular to the low regulated tariff levels of EUR 23,9/MWh and EUR 27,0/MWh, applied in 2005 to large industrial consumers (G4 tariff) and to large industrial consumers with interruptible supply (e.g. 3,4 tariff), respectively, as shown in Table 3 in recital 30 above.
Glavni vir, iz katerega so bili pridobljeni podatki, uporabljeni v odločitvi o začetku postopka, je poročilo CNE:
As pointed out by certain third parties, the levels of regulated tariffs objected to in the opening decision are not tariffs but average prices after discounts.
„El Consumo Eléctrico en el Mercado Peninsular en el Año 2005“, 25.7.2006, oddelek 2.
Without discounts, the basic tariff levels actually laid down in Decree 2392/2004 shown in Table 1 were, respectively, EUR 56,12/MWh (3,4 tariff) and EUR 25,44/MWh (G4 tariff).
Za velike industrijske odjemalce (prekinljiv odjem in THP) je v poročilu navedeno, da velika modulacija obremenitve z dobavo v obdobjih manjšega povpraševanja, ki zahteva prilagoditve proizvodnih procesov, omogoča precejšnje popuste na glavno tarifo.
In this respect, the formal investigation provided evidence that the regulated tariffs applicable to industrial users mentioned in the opening decision were at the level of the market prices applicable for the whole period between January and December 2005, as is shown below:
UL L 33, 4.2.2006, str. 22;
Firstly, evidence has been provided that there were bilateral market prices of EUR 34,45/MWh which were applied to energy-intensive users in the free market in 2005 (recitals 55-57).
glej člena 3(3)(c) in 5(2)(b).
With a marketing margin lower than the average EUR 10 margin added in the decision opening the formal investigation, this market price shows a supply cost close to EUR 25,44/MWh of the lowest (G4) regulated tariff (EUR 23,9/MWh of average ex-post price).
El Sistema Eléctrico Español 2005, str. 54 in 55, Red Eléctrica de España.
When account is taken of objective differences concerning supply under the regulated tariff, such as supply volumes 9,7 times higher, investment in control equipment and payment time limits, the fact that the regulated tariff was lower does not appear to have conferred any undue economic advantage on the beneficiaries.
Komisija je z dopisoma z dne 15. maja in 6. julija 2007 pripombe zainteresiranih strani sporočila španskim organom, ki jim je bila dana možnost, da se odzovejo;
Secondly, the evidence available shows that in December 2004 one-year contracts on baseload supply, based on forward market prices of EUR 31,05/MWh, could be concluded for supply between January and December 2005.
njihove pripombe so bile prejete v dopisu z dne 2. avgusta 2007.
A final market price (with additional services and access tariff) of EUR 36,67/MWh, which is lower than the relevant basic tariff level (tariff 3,4), was available for interruptible industrial users with strong load modulation (see recitals 16, 18 and 58 above).
Španija je napovedala, da bo ta novi zakon skupaj z izvedbenimi predpisi pripravljen leta 2014.
Additional discounts available under regulated tariffs for demand management (e.g. load modulation, interruptibility) allowed for lower average prices in the regulated market for the users providing these services [22].
Spodaj je navedenih nekaj osnovnih integralnih tarif za najnižjo tarifno raven zgoraj navedenih kategorij (tj. tistih, ki ne presegajo 145 kV), ki so veljale od 1. januarja 2005:
These discounts, which were not specifically addressed in the opening decision, remunerated valuable demand-side services to the network, which required adjustments, investments or restrictions imposed in commercial or industrial processes.
Nasprotno pa je bilo med oktobrom 2006 in decembrom 2007 ravno obratno:
Load modulation requires energy-intensive industrial or commercial processes to be carried out in off-peak rather than peak periods in order to reduce consumption and voltage in the electricity network.
v tem 14-mesečnem obdobju so povprečne veleprodajne cene strmo padle pod implicitne cene električne energije iz povprečnih integralnih reguliranih tarif, kar pomeni precej večjo razliko, kot je bila zabeležena v sedmih mesecih leta 2005, ko so bile veleprodajne cene višje od cen na podlagi integralnih tarif.
In the same way, interruptibility services supplied to the network are economically useful since they consist, for the industrial user in question, in allowing the system operator to interrupt supply at short notice (from a few seconds to two hours) and for a long period (from one to 12 hours), as was the case with the relevant regulated tariffs in Spain.
S postopkom končnega obračuna za leto 2005, ki ga je na koncu leta opravila CNE, je bil ugotovljen primanjkljaj v znesku 3811 milijonov EUR.
The benefits of these services in terms of guaranteeing continuity of electricity supply are recognised in EU legislation.
Ni se zgodilo prvič, da je obračunski postopek razkril primanjkljaj, vendar je bil znesek primanjkljaja iz leta 2005 brez primere.
Directive 2005/89/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 January 2006 concerning measures to safeguard security of electricity supply and infrastructure investment [23] requires Member States to take account of demand management technologies and to take measures to remove the barriers preventing the use of interruptible contracts in order to maintain the balance between supply and demand.
Poleg tega je neposredna pomoč za stroške električne energije v posebni shemi (obnovljivi viri energije, soproizvodnja), ki so bili računovodsko vodeni kot regulirani stroški, leta 2005 znašala 2701 milijon EUR.
Specifically in the case of Spain, the absence of a significant interconnection capacity with other Member States and the significant penetration of intermittent electricity supply from renewable energy sources in 2005 make these services particularly valuable.
Dodatna dajatev, izračunana kot letni znesek, potreben za linearno povrnitev neto trenutne vrednosti primanjkljaja iz leta 2005 v štirinajstih letih in pol, je bila določena kot 1,378 % integralne tarife in 3,975 % tarife za dostop do omrežja za leto 2006.
The extent of their economic value and of the costs that may be avoided in the electricity system can be illustrated in terms of the costs borne by the Spanish network operator Red Eléctrica de España in purchasing balancing services.
Veljavna obrestna mera je bila trimesečni Euribor.
In 2005 Red Eléctrica de España paid, on average, EUR 65/MWh for secondary regulation services to increase energy (adding additional energy on line for between 15 seconds and 15 minutes to balance the network);
Leta 2005 je bilo 37,49 % potreb po električni energiji v Španiji pokritih z nakupom na prostem trgu.
In the absence of such discounts for demand-management measures, regulated tariffs for users connected to the high-voltage network (1,4 and 2,4 tariffs) stood at a much higher level, between EUR 58 and 61/MWh for the basic tariff and EUR 76,2/MWh for the average actual price.
Odjemalci visokonapetostne energije (predvsem industrijski odjemalci) so bili glavna kategorija na prostem trgu;
When compared with forward market prices of EUR 31,05/MWh available for the period between January and December 2005, it cannot be considered that the market prices are higher than the regulated tariffs applicable to the vast majority of high-consumption industrial and commercial users.
38,9 % jih je izkoristilo svojo možnost in njihovi nakupi so znašali 29 % skupnega odjema električne energije v celinski Španiji leta 2005.
It follows that, although the prices registered in the electricity pool are not an appropriate benchmark for comparison with the electricity prices paid by large industrial and commercial users, the actual market prices applicable to supplies of electricity to end-users which were supplied at regulated tariffs in 2005 were in line with the respective levels of regulated tariffs.
Kot kaže spodnja preglednica 2, se je število odjemalcev na prostem trgu povečevalo skozi vse leto 2005, nato pa je leta 2006 upadlo, tako da se je njihov delež (8,15 %) izenačil z deležem v prvi polovici leta 2005.
CONCLUSIONS ON THE MEASURE
Podobno se je upad dobave električne energije končnim uporabnikom na prostem trgu, ki je bil decembra 2004 očiten, nadaljeval v prvi četrtini leta 2005.
In the light of the above considerations, the Commission considers that it has been demonstrated that, firstly, the companies that received electricity at integral regulated tariffs did not obtain benefits from the level of these tariffs and, secondly, bearing in mind Spain's undertaking to amend the measure, that interest will be charged at an appropriate rate for the delay by certain companies in paying part of their electricity bills in 2005.
Čeprav se je med junijem in septembrom 2005 znatno ustavil, se je nato nadaljeval decembra 2005 in skozi vse leto 2006.
Therefore, the measure at hand does not imply an economic advantage in favour of business users.
Preglednica 2
Since the criteria of Article 107(1) TFEU are cumulative, there is no need to examine whether the other criteria are fulfilled.
Delež dobavnih lokacij in energije na prostem trgu (kot odstotek skupnega trga) v obdobju 2004–2006
The Commission thus concludes that, having regard to the arrangements put in place by Spain to recover end-users' debt towards the electricity system, the system of regulated tariffs implemented in 2005 did not give rise to state aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU.
Poročilo CNE „Nota Informativa sobre los suministros de electricidad y gas natural en los mercados liberalizados, actualización 31 de diciembre de 2006“.
This conclusion relates to the situation and time period covered by the complaint, without prejudice to any assessment that the Commission may make of measures taken by Spain after 2005,
Električna energija
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Združenje ACIE je poudarilo resne posledice, ki jih je imel primanjkljaj iz leta 2005 na neodvisne dobavitelje.
Article 1
Po trditvah združenja ACIE so imeli dobavitelji na prostem trgu podobne stroške nakupa električne energije kot distributerji.
The system of regulated tariffs implemented by the Kingdom of Spain in 2005 does not constitute state aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Po mnenju energetsko intenzivnih uporabnikov ima organizirani trg nekatere pomanjkljivosti, ki vplivajo na njegovo učinkovitost in konkurenčnost.
Article 2
Posledično cene na organiziranem trgu ne odražajo točno mejnih proizvodnih stroškov in s tem stanja popolne konkurence.
Done at Brussels, 4 February 2014.
Sklenjena je bila za dve leti z možnostjo podaljšanja za dodatno leto.
For the Commission
Energetsko intenzivni uporabniki navajajo, da bi ukrep, ki leta 2005 ni bil pomoč, v primeru sprejetja te hipoteze postal pomoč leta 2006 (naknadno).
Vice-President
To bi bilo v nasprotju s temeljnimi načeli EU, kot sta pravna varnost in legitimno pričakovanje.
OJ C 43, 27.2.2007, p. 9.
Te družbe opozarjajo, da analiza mehanizma financiranja ni pomembna v teh okoliščinah, saj je bil mehanizem uveden šele leta 2006.
See footnote 1.
Ocena načina financiranja bi bila pomembna samo, če bi ukrep od samega začetka pomenil državno pomoč.
Article 12(2) of the LSE provided that electricity tariffs were, in principle, to be set once a year but could be adjusted during the year.
Uporabniki niso mogli napovedati, da bodo tarife, določene decembra 2004, z vladnim ukrepom, sprejetim junija 2006, postale pomoč.
Under Article 8 of Royal Decree 1432/2002, the average tariff could not increase by more than 1,40 % (year on year), whereas individual tariffs could increase only by a percentage equivalent to the increase in the average tariff:
Noben gospodarski subjekt, pa naj bo še tako previden, ni mogel pričakovati te spremembe pravnega položaja.
+ 0,60 % (2 % in total).
Poleg tega regionalna vlada Galicije meni, da tarifni sistem, kakršen je bil leta 2005, ni bil pravno selektiven, saj država ni imela namena dodeliti prednosti končnim uporabnikom, temveč je le napačno napovedala tržne trende in cene, ko je leta 2004 določala tarife.
Royal Decree 2392/2004 of 30 December 2004 establishing the electricity tariff for 2005.
Regionalna vlada Galicije prav tako izpodbija ugotovitev, da je sistem vplival na trgovino v EU.
Stranded costs are losses sustained by incumbent electricity providers as a result of non-recoverable investments carried out before liberalisation.
Ta povprečna referenčna cena je za vse leto 2005 znašala 59,47 EUR/MWh.
The Commission authorised the granting of compensatory aid to cover such losses, on the basis of the criteria outlined in the Stranded Costs Methodology (Commission Communication relating to the methodology for analysing State aid linked to stranded costs), by letter SG (2001) D/290869 of 6 August 2001.
Kot je navedeno in ponazorjeno v uvodni izjavi 19 (graf 1), so povprečne veleprodajne cene leta 2005 sedem nezaporednih mesecev presegale implicitne cene električne energije iz integralnih reguliranih tarif, ki so veljale za vse končne uporabnike.
By Decision SG (2001) D/290553 of 25 July 2001 in Case NN 49/99, the Commission authorised Spain to grant compensation for stranded costs until 2008 to the companies which were asked to pre-finance the 2005 deficit.
Iz tega sledi, da se za implicitne cene električne energije iz reguliranih tarif, ki so veljale leta 2005, zdi, da leta 2005 v mesečnih obdobjih, krajših od enega leta, in dveletnih obdobjih, ki vključujejo del leta 2005, niso zagotovile prednosti skupini odjemalcev, ki jim je bila energija dobavljena po reguliranih tarifah, če jih primerjamo z veleprodajnimi cenami električne energije na organiziranem trgu.
First additional provision of Royal-Decree 809/2006 of 30 June 2006 revising the electricity tariff from 1 July 2006.
Dejstvo pa je, da prihodki iz pristojbin za dostop in reguliranih tarif, plačanih na področju celotnega elektroenergetskega sistema, niso zadoščali za pokrije reguliranih stroškov sistema leta 2005.
Official State Gazette 156, 1.7.2006.
Zato je treba proučiti, ali uveljavljeni mehanizem zadošča za zagotovitev povračila primanjkljaja.
Spain liberalised the retail electricity market earlier than required by the 1996 and 2003 Electricity Directives, which provided for a liberalisation timetable between 1999 and 2004 for business end-users (starting with the largest) and made the liberalisation of the household segment mandatory only from 1 July 2007.
V tem sistemu nekumulativnih stroškov za vsako tarifo je nemogoče naknadno objektivno porazdeliti stroške med uporabnike na prostem trgu in uporabnike, ki uporabljajo regulirane tarife, ter, v primeru zadnje kategorije, med 25 različnih stopenj tarif, ki so se uporabljale leta 2005.
OJ L 176, 15.7.2003, p. 37.
Iz tega sledi, da je primerno proučiti morebitne prednosti primanjkljaja iz leta 2005 za elektroenergetski sistem kot celoto ali njihov neobstoj.
Article 3(3) of the Electricity Directive states:
V nasprotju z mnenjem, sporočenim v odločitvi o začetku postopka, je preiskava pokazala, da regulirane tarife, ki so nižje od povprečnih cen na organiziranem trgu, ne pomenijo nujno prednosti pred tržnimi pogoji za industrijske uporabnike, saj cene na organiziranem trgu za večino teh uporabnikov niso tržne cene.
To ensure the provision of universal service, Member States may appoint a supplier of last resort.’
Poleg tega leta 2005 možnost prehoda na prost trg v Španiji ni bila neobrnljiva.
Céntrica itself divided consumers into five groups.
Odjemalci so imeli ves čas možnost izbirati med najbolj privlačnimi ponudbami na reguliranem in prostem trgu, kar je pripeljalo do določene stopnje zbliževanja cen.
This division does not correspond to the regulated tariff structure published in the annual tariffs decree, as indicated in recital 17.
Drugič, razpoložljivi dokazi kažejo, da je bilo mogoče decembra 2004 za dobavo med januarjem in decembrom 2005 sklepati enoletne pogodbe za dobavo v času osnovne obremenitve na podlagi terminske tržne cene, tj. 31,05 EUR/MWh.
See Annex A(b) and (c) to the Electricity Directive.
Končna tržna cena (z dodatnimi storitvami in tarifo za dostop), tj. 36,67 EUR/MWh, ki je bila nižja od ustrezne ravni osnovne tarife (tarifa 3.4), je bila na voljo za prekinljive industrijske uporabnike z veliko modulacijo obremenitve (glej uvodne izjave 16, 18 in 58 zgoraj).
