According to the Commission, none of these remedies, taken individually, would fully meet the risks identified, in particular the risks of voltage drops, as explained in recital 16.
Komisija sicer navaja, da se je okrepilo vključevanje izravnav v različne mehanizme uravnoteženja: po koncu štiriletnega programa so vsi trgi (energija, rezerve, sistemske storitve) na voljo za izravnave od 1. julija 2014.
With regard to the justification for not relying exclusively on interconnectors, the Commission observes that Brittany, located at the end of the line, is not in a situation which is comparable to other French regions with similar characteristics (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Franche Comté, Pays de la Loire or Corsica).
Vendar z izravnavo ni mogoče uresničiti cilja ukrepa, katerega namen je uravnotežiti ponudbo in povpraševanje po električni energiji ter hkrati ohraniti napetost.
There the electricity supply is ensured by multiple connections with other regions.
Kar zadeva uravnoteženje ponudbe in povpraševanja, izravnava dejansko omogoča zmanjšanje ali odlog odjema.
Voltage stability is not an issue.
Vendar ta mehanizem ni geografsko usmerjen.
Additionally, they are not situated at the end of the grid like Brittany.
Poleg tega je trenutno težko aktivirati dovolj izravnalnih zmogljivosti, da bi se odpravilo regionalno neravnotežje.
Corsica, which is weakly interconnected [43], has significant capacities on its own territory.
Na primer, poskusni program, ki ga družba RTE izvaja v Bretanji in je namenjen aktiviranju lokalnih izravnalnih zmogljivosti, je omogočil aktiviranje 62 MW med 1. novembrom 2014 in 31. marcem 2015 [47], v primerjavi s preostalim primanjkljajem, ocenjenim na 200–600 MW (uvodna izjava 166).
On 8 November 2016, the Commission approved the French capacity mechanism [44].
Tudi če bi bil mehanizem vzpostavljen na ravni Bretanje, sam po sebi ne bi rešil lokalne problematike ohranjanja napetosti z zagotavljanjem zadostne moči.
The power plant is expected to play a part in the capacity mechanism mainly through rebalancing, which will represent only a marginal proportion of its total annual receipts (around 1,5 %).
Kar zadeva ohranitev napetosti, je z izravnavo sicer mogoče omiliti napetosti pri povpraševanju v urah konične porabe in izravnati konični odjem, ne da bi se uporabili dodatni viri proizvodnje, vendar ne ohranja napetosti, za kar je po trditvah francoskih organov potrebno lokalno dovajanje električne energije v obdobjih, ki jih ni mogoče pokriti z izravnavo.
The impact of the mechanism on this measure and its significance in the evaluation of the measure are limited.
Za tako dovajanje je torej potrebna vzpostavitev novih zmogljivosti.
The business plan does not provide for any participation in the capacity mechanism other than rebalancing.
Nazadnje, Komisija meni, da člen 194 PDEU, na katerega se sklicujejo francoski organi (glej uvodno izjavo 105), ne pomeni, da jim ni treba upoštevati veljavnih predpisov o državni pomoči, če se ta dodeli proizvajalcu električne energije.
If any such participation were to occur, the associated remuneration would be deducted from the premium.
Iz zgornjih ugotovitev izhaja, da je navedeni ukrep vsekakor ustrezen za izpolnitev opredeljenega cilja skupnega interesa.
Further, in its Final Report of the Sector Inquiry on Capacity Mechanisms [45], the Commission observed that, in the case of a local generation adequacy issue, the decision to rely on a capacity mechanism will depend on the specific market conditions [46].
Spodbujevalni učinek pomoči bo ocenjen na podlagi pogojev iz oddelka 3.2.4 smernic.
The French electricity market cannot bring the demand existing for capacity at local level into the open.
Komisija navaja, da premija omogoča naložbo v nove zmogljivosti, ki je brez pomoči ne bi bilo, in sicer zaradi posebnosti bretonskega trga.
The very localised nature of the lack of capacity cannot currently be resolved solely by the capacity mechanism recently applied in France.
Brez premije projekt torej ne bi omogočal zadostne donosnosti (uvodna izjava 23).
For these reasons, the Commission takes the view that the measure, which serves an objective of common interest, namely ensuring security of electricity supply, is indeed needed in France.
V okviru tega zavrača trditve zainteresiranih s strani, predstavljene v uvodnih izjavah 67 in 68.
Section 3.9.3 of the EEAG requires that the proposed aid measure be an appropriate policy instrument to address the objective of common interest in question.
Komisija zato ugotavlja, da ima ukrep potrebni spodbujevalni učinek.
To be considered appropriate, the measure should fulfil the following conditions: (i) the aid should remunerate solely the service of availability of capacity; (ii) the aid should provide adequate incentives to both existing and future generators and to operators using substitutable technologies, such as demand-side response or storage solutions; and (iii) the aid should also take into account to what extent interconnection capacity could remedy any possible problem of generation adequacy.
Komisija presoja sorazmernost ukrepa v skladu z oddelkom 3.9.5 smernic.
First, the Commission observes that the premium excludes any reward for the sale of electricity.
Ukrep je sorazmeren, če izpolnjuje naslednje pogoje: (i) nadomestilo upravičencem omogoča razumno stopnjo donosa (kot se domneva v primeru konkurenčnega izbirnega postopka na podlagi jasnih, preglednih in nediskriminatornih meril) ter (ii) vključuje mehanizme za zagotovitev, da ne more prihajati do nepričakovanih dobičkov.
The projected remuneration is composed of (i) a capacity value equal to EUR [50000-60000]/MW/year, and of three values relating to the geographical location of the project, namely (ii) the additional cost relating to the transport of gas, EUR [20000-40000]/MW/year, (iii) the additional cost of connection, EUR 6000/MW/year, and (iv) the additional cost of special environmental measures, EUR 2000/MW/year.
Ti pogoji so proučeni glede na poslani poslovni načrt.
Thus the premium relates to the remuneration of capacity, and does exclude any reward for the sale of electricity.
Predpostavke iz poslovnega načrta so bile opisane v oddelku 2.6 tega sklepa.
Secondly, although the Commission considers that the aid was awarded through a discriminatory tendering procedure (see recital 145), it takes the view that the French authorities were entitled to restrict the invitation to tender to CCG-type power stations.
Komisija najprej navaja, da je potrebnih 20 let za uresničitev razumne interne stopnje donosnosti v višini [5–10] % glede na njeno tehtano povprečje stroškov kapitala (glej naslednjo uvodno izjavo).
The restriction is due to a specific need to maintain voltage stability under satisfactory energy and environmental conditions.
Ob krajšem trajanju projekta bi bila interna stopnja donosnosti manjša, kar ni nujno glede na višino interne stopnje donosnosti, ki jo Komisija že zdaj šteje za sprejemljivo.
Among thermal power plants, and thus by comparison with coal-fired plants and fuel-oil technologies, gas-fired power stations are the least polluting (see also recital 102).
Ta trditev ovrže predpostavko iz uvodne izjave (68)(1).
The choice of a CCG-type power station by comparison with other gas-fired plants, in particular OCG plants, is to be preferred from an environmental viewpoint, since it is an energy-efficient method of generation using only natural gas, the fossil fuel with the lowest CO2 emissions, while offering the flexibility and responsiveness needed to address the market failures identified.
Dalje, Komisija opozarja, da interna stopnja donosnosti projekta znaša [5–10] %.
Third, the aid measure takes account of interconnection capacities, but interconnection does not provide a satisfactory answer to the need to maintain voltage stability.
Sorazmernost te interne stopnje donosnosti se oceni s primerjavo glede na tehtano povprečje stroškov kapitala.
Furthermore, the construction of interconnectors requires a long-term vision.
Tehtano povprečje stroškov kapitala izraža posebna nerazpršljiva tveganja projekta.
Interconnection projects are already in preparation that aim to increase the interconnection capacity between France and the United Kingdom, and between Brittany and Ireland.
Komisija meni, da je interno stopnjo donosnosti mogoče oceniti s primerjavo glede na tehtano povprečje stroškov kapitala skupine primerljivih družb, katerih povprečje v obdobju 2007–2016 znaša 6,6 %, kar je blizu interni stopnji donosnosti projekta.
The Commission notes that the measure does not stand in the way of an increase in the flows transiting through Brittany as a result of the creation of the interconnector.
Komisija torej ugotavlja podobnost med interno stopnjo donosnosti in ocenjenim upoštevnim razponom tehtanega povprečja stroškov kapitala, tako da lahko ugotovi, da je ukrep sorazmeren.
Additionally, a number of alternative measures are not appropriate:
Da je sorazmernost zanesljiva, potrjujejo predložene študije občutljivosti.
Renewable energies, which are taken into account in the PEB, cannot by themselves guarantee either voltage stability or the efficient management of demand peaks in this region, which is located at the end of the line.
Študije so bile namreč izvedene ob upoštevanju morebitnih zamudnih kazni, inflacije in morebitne končne vrednosti.
The other conventional energy generation plants are reaching the end of their operating lives, and the combustion turbines mentioned above will be closed from 2023.
Pri ocenjevanju posledic pogodbe tolling na poslovni načrt se je upoštevalo več cenovnih predpostavk.
Their polluting character, highlighted in recital 81, precludes any further extension.
Komisija v zvezi s preprečevanjem tveganja ustvarjanja nepričakovanih dobičkov ugotavlja, da poslovni načrt, ki ga je predložil konzorcij, sam po sebi ne omogoča ustvarjanja nepričakovanih dobičkov.
The level of investment in interconnection, in the order of EUR 45 million in 2015, will make only an inadequate contribution to the region's capacity requirements.
Glavni komponenti prihodkov sta po eni strani prejeta premija, ki je odvisna od razpoložljivosti elektrarne, pogodbeno dogovorjena in torej ne omogoča ustvarjanja nepričakovanega dobička.
The Commission notes that major works have already been carried out on the network by RTE, but they are not sufficient to achieve the objective of securing supply.
Po drugi strani je tudi nadomestilo na podlagi pogodbe tolling pogodbeno dogovorjeno in konzorciju ne ponuja možnosti za ustvarjanje nepričakovanih dobičkov.
These measures are the strengthening of the Breton safety net between 2011 and 2013, the installation of a phase shifter at the Brennilis substation, and the doubling of 400/225 kV transformer capacity at Plaine Haute in 2015.
Nazadnje, Komisija navaja, da bo imel konzorcij možnost sodelovati pri mehanizmu zmogljivosti v skladu s pogoji iz uvodne izjave 25.
However, beyond 2017, the Brennilis phase shifter will no longer be sufficient to guarantee supply to the north of Brittany.
Vendar bo nadomestilo, dovoljeno na podlagi morebitnega sodelovanja v mehanizmu zmogljivosti, odšteto od premije.
This argument confirms the observations of interested parties referred to in recital 65(2).
Zdi se torej, da neobstoj dvojnega nadomestila potrjuje sorazmernost ukrepa.
Demand-side response is not an appropriate instrument.
Komisija torej meni, da je ukrep sorazmeren s svojim ciljem.
The Commission notes that the integration of demand-side response into the various balancing mechanisms has been strengthened: following a four-year programme, all the markets (energy, reserves, system services) have been open to demand-side response since 1 July 2014.
Preprečevanje negativnih učinkov na konkurenco in trgovino
However, demand-side response cannot achieve the objective of the measure, which targets both the balance between electricity supply and demand and the maintenance of voltage stability.
V skladu s točko 3.9.6 smernic se pomoč šteje za združljivo, če izpolnjuje naslednje pogoje: (i) biti mora na voljo vsem ustreznim ponudnikom zmogljivosti, če je to tehnično in fizično izvedljivo; (ii) ne sme omejevati spodbud za naložbe v povezovalne zmogljivosti in ovirati spajanja trgov; (iii) ne sme ovirati naložbenih odločitev, sprejetih pred uvedbo ukrepa; (iv) ne sme neupravičeno krepiti prevlade na trgu; in (v) mora v primeru enakovrednih tehničnih in gospodarskih parametrov dajati prednost nizkoogljičnim proizvajalcem.
With regard to the balance between supply and demand, demand-side response does allow an effective reduction or deferral of consumption.
Kar zadeva prvo merilo, je v točki 232 smernic pojasnjeno, da je mogoče omejitev sodelovanja v mehanizmu zmogljivosti „utemeljiti samo na podlagi nezadostne tehnične zmogljivosti, potrebne za reševanje problema zadostne proizvodnje“ [48].
However, this mechanism is not targeted geographically.
Komisija v obravnavani zadevi meni, da so tehnične značilnosti nekaterih proizvodnih zmogljivosti, zlasti kombiniranega cikla na plin, očitno primernejše za učinkovito rešitev težave z zadostnostjo proizvodnje kot druge, na primer z odprtim ciklom na plin in plinsko turbino.
Further, it is difficult at present to mobilise sufficient demand-side response capacities to meet the regional imbalance.
Natančneje, tehnične značilnosti slednjih ne omogočajo optimizacije energetske in torej ekonomske donosnosti naložbenega projekta, če se upoštevajo podrobni pogoji in čas obratovanja proizvodnega obrata, za katerim stremijo francoski organi, da bi se zoperstavili opredeljeni težavi z zadostnostjo proizvodnje.
For example, an experimental programme conducted by RTE in Brittany to mobilise local proposals for demand-side response made it possible to mobilise 62 MW between 1 November 2014 and 31 March 2015 [47], in comparison with a residual shortfall estimated at between 200 MW and 600 MW (recital 166).
Komisija v obravnavani zadevi namreč ugotavlja, da vse konvencionalne tehnologije nimajo enakih tehničnih zmogljivosti, da bi omogočale dovolj učinkovito in zanesljivo izpolnitev vseh potreb, opredeljenih v točki 3.3 razpisnih pogojev.
Even if a mechanism were to be introduced covering Brittany as a whole, it would not, by its nature, be able to respond to a local voltage stability issue by offering adequate power.
Prvič, kar zadeva primerjavo z odprtim ciklom na plin, študija Mednarodne agencije za energijo (IEA) in Agencije za jedrsko energijo (NEA) z naslovom „Projected Costs of Generating Electricity 2015 Edition“ kaže, da je kombinirani cikel na plin znatno varčnejši način proizvodnje električne energije v primeru bistveno daljših časov obratovanja.
Turning to voltage stability, while demand-side response can relieve the pressure of demand at peak hours, and even out consumption peaks without the use of additional sources of generation, it does not maintain voltage stability, which the French authorities say needs a feed-in of local electricity over periods that cannot be covered by demand-side response.
Referenčni stroški proizvodnje električne energije, predstavljeni v tej študiji, tudi kažejo, da je LCOE [49] elektrarne z odprtim ciklom na plin, zgrajene v Belgiji ali Nemčiji [50], precej višji od LCOE belgijskih ali nemških elektrarn s kombiniranim ciklom na plin.
This feed-in process requires new capacities.
Izraženi v EUR/MWh, so tako naložbeni stroški kot stroški obratovanja in vzdrževanja tako višji pri elektrarni z odprtim ciklom na plin kot pri elektrarni s kombiniranim ciklom na plin.
Finally, the Commission takes the view that Article 194 TFEU, invoked by the French authorities (see recital 105), does not exempt them from compliance with the current rules on State aid when State aid is granted to an electricity producer.
Ugotovitve te študije so predstavljene v preglednici v nadaljevanju:
In the light of these considerations, the measure is an appropriate means of meeting the identified objective of common interest.
Povprečje skupnih stroškov proizvodnje električne energije
The incentive effect of the aid will be assessed on the basis of the conditions set out in section 3.2.4 of the EEAG.
(Preglednica – nadaljevanje – desni del)
An incentive effect occurs when aid induces the beneficiary to change its behaviour to improve the functioning of the energy market, a change in behaviour that it would not undertake without the aid.
Vir:
The Commission observes that the premium permits investment in new capacities that would not have occurred in the absence of the aid, given the nature of the Breton market.
Sporočilo francoskih organov z dne 20. marca 2017, povzeto iz študije IEA-NEA iz leta 2015, str. 48 in 49.
Without the premium, the project would not have been sufficiently profitable (recital 23).
Komisija lahko torej zgolj ugotovi, da tehnične značilnosti tehnologije odprtega cikla na plin niso zadostne, da bi zagotovile izvedljivost projekta, in zato z njimi ne bi bilo mogoče rešiti težave v zvezi s proizvodnimi zmogljivostmi.
In this context it rejects the interested parties' argument presented in recitals 67 and 68.
Komisija poleg te študije navaja, da je mogoče te višje proizvodne stroške elektrarn z odprtim ciklom na plin pojasniti z manjšo energijsko učinkovitostjo.
The Commission concludes that the measure has the necessary incentive effect.
Energijska učinkovitost elektrarne z odprtim ciklom na plin je za 40 % ali celo 55 % manjša kot pri elektrarni s kombiniranim ciklom na plin.
The Commission has assessed the proportionality of the measure in accordance with section 3.9.5 of the EEAG.
V elektrarno z odprtim ciklom na plin bi bilo torej treba dobaviti najmanj 40 % več zemeljskega plina kot v elektrarno s kombiniranim ciklom na plin z enako močjo [54].
A measure is proportionate when it fulfils the following conditions: (i) the compensation should allow the beneficiaries to earn a reasonable rate of return (this is assumed where there is a competitive bidding process on the basis of clear, transparent and non-discriminatory criteria), and (ii) the measure should have built-in mechanisms to ensure that windfall profits cannot arise.
Drugič, kar zadeva primerjavo s plinskimi turbinami, Komisija navaja, da ima ta tehnologija tako kot elektrarne z odprtim ciklom na plin mejne stroške obratovanja, ki so višji kot pri elektrarnah s kombiniranim ciklom na plin.
These conditions have been evaluated in the light of the business plan submitted.
Pri obratovalnem času nad 200 ur na leto pri plinskih turbinah (1000 ur pri elektrarnah z odprtim ciklom na plin) ta tehnologija postane dražja od tehnologije kombiniranega cikla na plin.
The assumptions of the business plan are described in section 2.6 of the present decision.
Plinska turbina je torej manj učinkovita kot odprti cikel na plin pri obratovalnem času nad 1000 ur, kot je predviden v obravnavani zadevi.
The Commission observes, first of all, that the twenty-year period is necessary to achieve a reasonable IRR of [5-10] % by comparison with the weighted average cost of capital (see the following recital).
Glede na to, da je Komisija ugotovila, da bi elektrarna z odprtim ciklom na plin v obratovalnih razmerah iz obravnavane zadeve ogrozila izvedljivost projekta, če bi vse drugo ostalo enako, lahko uporaba plinske turbine le še toliko bolj ogrozi njegovo izvedljivost.
A shorter duration for the project would entail a weaker IRR, which is not necessary, given that the Commission already judges the IRR level acceptable.
Poleg tega je pomembno v primeru priglašenega ukrepa upoštevati tudi vpliv energijske učinkovitosti na skupne stroške projekta.
This argument refutes the hypothesis set out in recital 68(1).
Ob boljšem izkoristku je namreč mogoče zmanjšati količino plina, ki ga je treba za enako električno moč dovajati v napravo.
In the second place, the Commission notes that the IRR of the project is [5-10] %.
Ker je energijska učinkovitost elektrarne z odprtim ciklom na plin manjša za 40 %, pri novejših elektrarnah s kombiniranim ciklom na plin celo za več kot 55 %, bi bilo treba v elektrarno z odprtim ciklom na plin dobaviti najmanj 40 % več zemeljskega plina kot v elektrarno s kombiniranim ciklom na plin z enako močjo.
The Commission has evaluated the proportionate nature of this IRR in comparison with the weighted average cost of capital (WACC).
To je bistvenega pomena v primeru povabila k oddaji ponudb v Bretanji, kjer je predvidena krepitev omrežja zemeljskega plina, ki predstavlja del stroškov, ki upravičujejo dodelitev državne pomoči.
The WACC for the project reflects its specific non-diversifiable risks.
Spomniti je treba, da delež premije, ki ustreza prenosu zemeljskega plina, predstavlja 33 % celotne premije, izplačane ponudniku.
The Commission believes that the IRR can be evaluated by comparison with the WACC for a sample of comparable undertakings, where the average stands at 6,6 % over the period 2007-2016, which is close to the IRR for the project.
Boljša energijska učinkovitost elektrarne s kombiniranim ciklom na plin torej omogoča, da se zmanjša potrebna zmogljivost za dobavo plina in s tem znižajo stroški tega projekta, ki zahteva krepitev omrežja za prenos zemeljskega plina v Bretanji.
The IRR is consequently close to the estimated range for a comparable WACC, and the Commission can conclude that the measure is proportionate.
Ukrep je torej na voljo ponudnikom zmogljivosti, ki lahko učinkovito rešijo težavo z zadostnostjo proizvodnje, ki jo je opredelila Francija.
The reliability of this conclusion as to proportionality is confirmed by the sensitivity studies submitted.
Komisija v zvezi z drugim merilom ugotavlja, da se z ukrepom ne omejujejo spodbude za naložbe v povezovalne zmogljivosti niti se ne ovira spajanje trgov.
Studies have been carried out in the light of any penalties for delay, taking account of inflation, and allowing for a possible terminal value.
Komisija poleg tega navaja, da so bili podrobni pogoji povabila k oddaji ponudb zasnovani tako, da je preprečeno vsakršno izkrivljanje pri sodelovanju elektrarne s kombiniranim ciklom na plin na različnih trgih.
Several price assumptions were taken into account to measure the impact of the tolling contract on the business plan.
Ni nujno, da naprava del svoje moči prihrani za izravnalni mehanizem.
Turning to the prevention of windfall profits, the Commission notes that by its design the business plan presented by the consortium does not allow windfall profits to be made.
Če je elektrarna vso svojo moč prodala naprej na trgu električne energije in proizvaja do višine svoje največje moči, ni nujno, da za ustrezno obdobje odda ponudbe v zvezi z izravnalnim mehanizmom.
Finally, the Commission observes that the consortium will be able to participate in the capacity mechanism under the conditions set out in recital 25.
V zvezi s četrtim merilom Komisija navaja, da podjetja, ki sestavljajo konzorcij CEB, niso prevladujoči akterji na francoskem trgu električne energije.
However, any remuneration from participation in the capacity mechanism will be deducted from the premium.
Zato ukrep ne bo prispeval h krepitvi položaja neposrednega prejemnika pomoči.
The absence of any overlapping remuneration likewise tends to show that the measure is proportionate.
Ukrep namreč glede na tržni položaj družbe Direct Energie, alternativnega dobavitelja in proizvajalca, prispeva h konkurenci v Franciji.
Hence the Commission considers that the mechanism is proportionate to its objective.
To potrjuje tudi trditev iz uvodne izjave 73.
Avoidance of negative effects on competition and trade
Komisija dalje ugotavlja, da ukrep prinaša tveganje za krepitev položaja prevladujočega operaterja na trgu.
In accordance with section 3.9.6 of the EEAG, to be considered compatible, aid must: (i) be open to all suppliers of capacity that may serve the purpose, where technically and physically possible; (ii) not reduce incentives to invest in interconnection capacity, and not undermine market coupling; (iii) not undermine investment decisions which preceded the measure; (iv) not unduly strengthen market dominance; and (v) give preference to low-carbon generators in case of equivalent technical and economic parameters.
Komisija navaja, da ima družba EDF, prevladujoči operater, v Franciji velike tržne deleže.
