With regard to the first criterion, paragraph 232 of the EEAG specifies that restrictions on participation in capacity mechanisms ‘can only be justified on the basis of insufficient technical performance required to address the generation adequacy problem’ [48].
Obvladuje 83,5 % celotne proizvodnje električne energije in 89,4 % vseh zmogljivosti v Franciji [55].
In the case in hand, the Commission considers that the technical qualities of some forms of generating capacity, particularly CCG, clearly provide a more effective remedy for generation adequacy problems than others, notably OCG and combustion turbines.
Konzorcij CEB pa bo imel na voljo dve možnosti.
More specifically, the technical qualities of the latter do not allow optimisation of the project's energy performance, and hence of its economic performance, bearing in mind the procedures and operating times of the production facility sought by the French authorities to meet the generation adequacy problem identified.
Proizvedeno električno energijo bo lahko bodisi prodal prevladujočemu operaterju na trgu za 95 % tržne cene (glej uvodno izjavo 11), bodisi jo bo prodal v obliki pogodbe tolling v skladu s pogoji, opisanimi v uvodni izjavi 32.
Here the Commission notes that not all conventional technologies possess equivalent technical capacity to meet all the requirements identified in section 3.3 of the specifications efficiently and viably.
Z uporabo teh možnosti bi bilo mogoče okrepiti tržni položaj prvotnega operaterja, saj bi se mu zagotovile količine električne energije, proizvedene v elektrarni.
Firstly, as regards the comparison with OCGs, a joint study by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA), Projected Costs of Generating Electricity — 2015 Edition, indicates that where total operating times are longer CCG is a significantly more economic means of generating electricity.
Prvič, to, da proizvodnjo električne energije obvladuje en akter na trgu, še povečuje pomanjkanje likvidnosti veleprodajnih trgov in škoduje alternativnim dobaviteljem.
The reference costs for electricity generation presented by this study show that the LCOE [49] for an OCG plant built in Belgium or Germany [50] is clearly higher than the LCOE of Belgian or German CCG plants.
Družba EDF obvladuje več kot 80 % proizvodnje električne energije v Franciji.
Expressed in EUR/MWh, both investment costs and operating and maintenance costs are higher for OCG than for CCG.
To obvladovanje bi se v obravnavani zadevi še okrepilo v primeru sklepanja pogodb s konzorcijem CEB, bodisi s pogodbo tolling bodisi z dolgoročno pogodbo o nakupu električne energije.
The conclusions of this study are presented in the table below.
Tako okrepljen položaj družbe EDF bi vplival na zmogljivost alternativnih dobaviteljev, da se na veleprodajnih trgih oskrbujejo pod konkurenčnimi pogoji, saj bi jih hkrati izpostavil tveganju nelikvidnosti in tveganju nestanovitnosti cen.
Mean total cost of electricity generation
V okviru tega bi dostop do lastnih proizvodnih zmogljivosti alternativnim dobaviteljem omogočil, da se ne izpostavijo takim tveganjem.
(Table continued — right-hand side)
Zato jim je treba zagotoviti tak dostop do lastnih proizvodnih zmogljivosti.
Memorandum from French autorities of 20 March 2017, taken from the 2015 IEA-NEA study, pp. 48-49
Glede na pomen proizvodnih stroškov v skupnih dobavnih stroških se obvladovanje proizvodnje odraža v dobavi na drobno.
On the basis of total operating time estimated at [3000-6500] hours per year and around 1600 GWh generated annually [53], the Commission estimates that the technical characteristics of OCG, other things being equal and taking account of the amount of aid received by CEB, would entail generation costs of between EUR 60 million and EUR 190 million, compared with a turnover of around EUR 90 million a year.
Konkurenti družbe EDF imajo le malo proizvodnih zmogljivosti ali sploh nobene, da bi zagotovili dobavo pasovne električne energije po tako nizkih spremenljivih proizvodnih stroških, kot jih zagotavlja proizvodni park, ki je v lasti družbe EDF.
Using OCG would therefore bring about an excessive shift in the economic balance of the project and would put its viability in question.
Ta ima trenutno 86-odstotni tržni delež na maloprodajnem trgu [56].
The Commission must conclude that the technical qualities of OCG are inadequate and cannot ensure the viability of the project, and thus would not resolve the generating capacity problem.
Možnost družbe EDF, da postane stranka pogodbe tolling ali da na podlagi dolgoročne pogodbe o nakupu kupi vso električno energijo, ki jo proizvede elektrarna, bi torej povečala njeno sposobnost odzivanja na povpraševanje na maloprodajnem trgu.
Leaving this study aside, the Commission notes that the higher production costs of OCG are explained by its lower energy efficiency.
Dostop alternativnih dobaviteljev do lastnih proizvodnih zmogljivosti bi torej tudi preprečil krepitev prevladujočega položaja prvotnega operaterja na maloprodajnem trgu.
The energy efficiency of OCG is some 40 % to 55 % lower than that of CCG.
Komisija meni, da bi se bilo mogoče pred temi tveganji krepitve prevladujočega položaja družbe EDF na veleprodajnem in maloprodajnem trgu zavarovati z naložitvijo obveznosti francoskim organom, da sprejmejo potrebne ukrepe za zagotovitev, da prejemnik pomoči za nobenega od teh dveh pogodbenih mehanizmov ne bo sklenil pogodb z operaterjem, ki bi imel na francoskem trgu več kot 40 % zmogljivosti za proizvodnjo električne energije.
An OCG turbine would thus need at least 40 % more gas to be transported than a CCG turbine of the same power [54].
Ob upoštevanju zelo posebnih značilnosti francoskega trga električne energije je ta pogoj, omejen na 40 %, sorazmeren.
Secondly, as regards the comparison with combustion turbines, the Commission notes that this technology, like OCG, presents a marginal operating cost higher than that of CCG.
Preprečuje namreč krepitev tržnega položaja prevladujočega operaterja, ki bi lahko posredno izhajala iz ukrepa pomoči na podlagi pogodbenih mehanizmov, navedenih v uvodni izjavi 214.
Combustion turbine technology becomes more expensive than CCG once operating times exceed 200 hours per year (1000 hours in the case of OCG).
Ob upoštevanju ugotovitev iz tega oddelka in izpolnitvi pogoja, opisanega v uvodni izjavi 218, Komisija ugotavlja, da ukrep ne vpliva na konkurenco in trgovino med državami članicami, tako da bi ogrozil uresničitev cilja skupnega interesa.
Combustion turbines are thus less efficient than OCG for an operating time exceeding 1000 hours, as in the case in hand.
Skratka, Komisija ob upoštevanju rešitev, ki jih predlaga Francija, ugotavlja, da ukrep ne pomeni več tveganja za neupravičeno izkrivljanje niti konkurence niti trgovine med državami članicami.
The Commission has already concluded that in the operating conditions in question the viability of the project would be compromised by the use of OCG, so that other things being equal the viability of the project would necessarily be compromised by the use of a combustion turbine.
Preglednost
In the case of the notified measure it is also important to consider the impact of energy efficiency on the overall costs of the project.
Organi morajo zagotoviti objavo besedila v zvezi s shemo pomoči, identitete organa ali organov, ki dodeljujejo pomoč, identitete upravičenca, oblike in zneska dodeljene pomoči, datuma dodelitve, vrste zadevnega podjetja, regije, v kateri je upravičenec, in glavnega gospodarskega sektorja, v katerem ta izvaja svoje dejavnosti.
As the energy efficiency of an OCG is 40 % lower, and more than 55 % lower for recent CCGs, an OCG would require the transport of at least 40 % more gas than a CCG of equivalent power.
Objavljene informacije se nanašajo na sklep o dodelitvi pomoči in njegove izvedbene določbe, identiteto organa, ki dodeljuje pomoč, identiteto upravičenca, obliko in znesek dodeljene pomoči, vrsto zadevnega podjetja, regijo, v kateri je upravičenec, in glavni gospodarski sektor, v katerem izvaja svoje dejavnosti.
This point is vital in the case of the invitation to tender in Brittany, where the planned expansion of the gas network gives rise to part of the costs that justify the granting of State aid.
Poleg tega so na spletišču http://www.europe-en-france.gouv.fr/Centre-de-ressources/Aides-d-Etat/Regimes-d-aides predstavljene vse sheme pomoči, ki jih je Evropska komisija odobrila v Franciji, med katerimi je obravnavano povabilo k oddaji ponudb.
The share of the premium granted for gas transport represents 33 % of the total premium paid to the candidate.
Nazadnje, na istem spletišču bodo vsako leto objavljeni letni zneski pomoči, dodeljene podjetju.
The higher energy efficiency of a CCG makes it possible to reduce the gas transport capacity needed, and hence the costs of a project that requires an expansion of the gas transport network in Brittany.
Iz teh razlogov so pogoji preglednosti iz smernic upoštevani.
The measure is thus indeed open to suppliers of capacity that can effectively resolve the capacity problem identified by France.
SKLEPNE UGOTOVITVE
Turning to the second criterion, the Commission notes that the measure does not reduce the incentive to invest in interconnection capacity, nor does it undermine market coupling.
Ukrep, ki ga Francija dodeljuje konzorciju CEB, je pomoč.
Studies are under way for interconnection projects aiming to increase interconnection capacity between France and the UK in 2022, and between Brittany and Ireland in 2025.
Ukrep bo združljiv s smernicami o državni pomoči za varstvo okolja iz leta 2014, ko bodo francoski organi sprejeli potrebne ukrepe za zagotovitev, da upravičenec do pomoči v celotnem obdobju pomoči ne bo prodal energije iz elektrarne operaterju, ki bi imel na francoskem trgu več kot 40 % zmogljivosti za proizvodnjo električne energije, bodisi na podlagi sporazuma tolling bodisi na podlagi dolgoročne pogodbe o prodaji električne energije, proizvedene v elektrarni, po ceni, ki znaša 95 % tržne cene –
The measure will permit an increase in the flows transiting through Brittany as a result of the creation of the interconnector.
SPREJELA NASLEDNJI SKLEP:
The Commission further observes that the invitation to tender was designed so as to avoid any distortion in the participation of the CCG in the different markets.
Člen 1
The plant does not necessarily have to reserve part of its power for the adjustment mechanism.
Ukrep, ki ga Francija namerava izvesti za konzorcij CEB v obliki dodelitve premije v višini 94000 EUR/MW/leto v vrednosti na dan 31. novembra 2011, ki se bo izplačevala 20 let, pomeni državno pomoč, ki spada na področje uporabe člena 107(1) PDEU in je združljiva z notranjim trgom v skladu s členom 107(3) PDEU pod pogoji iz člena 2.
If it has sold all its power forward on the electricity market, and is generating its maximum power, it will not be required to submit offers for the adjustment mechanism for the corresponding period.
Člen 2
In this connection the Commission notes that the project revenues used for rebalancing are negligible (around 1,5 % of annual revenue), and cannot be considered to present a significant risk in the adjustment market.
Francija sprejme potrebne ukrepe za zagotovitev, da upravičenec do ukrepa v celotnem obdobju pomoči, navedenem v členu 1, ne bo mogel prodati energije iz elektrarne operaterju, ki bi imel na francoskem trgu več kot 40 % zmogljivosti za proizvodnjo električne energije, bodisi na podlagi sporazuma tolling bodisi na podlagi dolgoročne pogodbe o prodaji električne energije, proizvedene v elektrarni.
With regard to the third criterion, the Commission observes that the aid is to a CCG plant, and that while CCG is not the only technology allowing voltage to be maintained over a long period, it remains the only technology which meets the requirement to maintain voltage stability in the most acceptable conditions of efficiency, as explained in recitals 199 to 204.
Člen 3
With regard to the fourth criterion, the Commission notes that the undertakings constituting the CEB consortium are not dominant players on the French electricity market.
Komisija dovoljuje pomoč iz člena 1, ki jo je treba izvesti v obliki plačevanja premije konzorciju CEB za čas obratovanja elektrarne, in sicer za največ 20 let.
As a result, the measure does not help to strengthen the position of the direct beneficiary of the aid.
Vsako shemo, ki se bo ohranila po izteku tega roka, bo treba ponovno priglasiti.
Indeed it contributes to competition in France, given the market position of Direct Energie as an alternative supplier and producer.
Člen 4
This point also confirms the argument put forward in recital 73.
Ta sklep je naslovljen na Francosko republiko.
The Commission observes, however, that the measure does carry a risk of strengthening the market position of the dominant operator.
V Bruslju, 15. maja 2017 Za Komisijo
The dominant operator, EDF, has substantial market shares in France.
Margrethe Vestager
EDF holds 83,5 % of total electricity generation and 89,4 % of total installed capacity in France [55].
UL C 46, 5.2.2016, str. 69.
EDF's generating facilities are unrivalled in France in terms of both scale and diversity.
Glej opombo 1.
They consist principally of nuclear and hydroelectric plants.
V odloku št. 2002-1434 z dne 4. decembra 2002 o postopku povabila k oddaji ponudb za obrate za proizvodnjo električne energije so opisane vse faze postopka.
There are two particular options open to the CEB consortium.
Gre za postopek, ki se je uporabil v okviru priglašenega povabila k oddaji ponudb.
It will be able to sell the electricity produced to the dominant market operator for 95 % of the market price (see recital 11), or sell it under a tolling contract as described in recital 32.
Neto kalorična vrednost je lastnost goriv.
If these options are exercised, they could strengthen the market position of the incumbent operator by putting the electricity generated by the plant at its disposal.
Gre za količino toplote, ki nastane pri popolnem zgorevanju ene gorivne enote, pri čemer vodna para ne kondenzira in se toplota ne rekuperira.
Firstly, control over electrical generation by a market player contributes to a loss of liquidity in wholesale markets and penalises alternative suppliers.
Povprečje trenutne moči elektrarne.
EDF controls more than 80 % of electricity generation in France.
Vat (pri čemer MW pomeni milijon vatov) je enota za merjenje električne moči.
This control would be strengthened if a contract were to be concluded with the CEB consortium, whether a tolling contract or a long-term contract for the sale of electricity.
MWh označuje proizvodnjo enega MW v eni uri.
EDF's stronger competitive position would affect the capacity of alternative suppliers to source electricity from the wholesale markets on competitive terms, by exposing them to a risk of illiquidity and to a risk of price volatility.
Sporočilo francoskih organov z dne 5. oktobra 2016.
Alternative suppliers would not to be exposed to such risks if they had access to their own generating capacity.

They must therefore be assured of access to their own production capacity.
Sodba Sodišča Evropske unije z dne 24. julija 2003 v zadevi Altmark Trans GmbH in Regierungspräsidium Magdeburg proti Nahverkehrsgesellschaft Altmark GmbH (C-280/00).
Secondly, the dominant position in electricity generation held by a vertically integrated player will also give it a significant competitive advantage in electricity supply.
Kot je navedeno v členu 3(2) Direktive 2009/72/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 13. julija 2009 o skupnih pravilih notranjega trga z električno energijo in o razveljavitvi Direktive 2003/54/ES (UL L 211, 14.8.2009, str. 55).
Given the major role played by production costs in the total costs of supply, control over generation has repercussions on retail provision.
Člen 3(2) Direktive 2009/72/ES; sodba z dne 21. decembra 2011, v zadevi Enel Produzione SpA contre Autorita per l'energia elettrica e il gas (C-242/10, točka 42); sodba z dne 20. aprila 2010 v zadevi Federutility in drugi (C-265/08, točka 33).
EDF's competitors have little or no generating capacity that would allow them to provide a basic electricity supply with variable production costs as low as those provided by EDF's own facilities.
Razmere, v katerih se trg na preveliko povpraševanje glede na razpoložljivo zmogljivost ne odzove s povečanjem zmogljivosti.
EDF currently has a share of around 86 % of the retail market [56].
Smernice o državni pomoči za varstvo okolja in energijo za obdobje 2014–2020 (UL C 200, 28.6.2014, str. 1).
The scope for EDF to become a party to the tolling contract, or to purchase all the electricity generated by the plant under a long-term purchase contract, would increase its capacity to respond to retail demand.
RTE, Elektroenergetska bilanca Bretanje, 2014.
Ensuring that alternative suppliers have access to their own generating capacity would thus also help to avoid strengthening the incumbent operator's dominant position on the retail market.
Glej: http://www.rte-france.com/fr/projet/filet-de-securite-paca-pour-une-securisation-electrique-durable-de-la-region.
The Commission considers that the danger that EDF's dominant position in wholesale and retail markets might be strengthened can be averted by requiring the French authorities to take the steps necessary to guarantee that the beneficiary of the aid does not conclude contracts under either of these contractual mechanisms with an operator that controls more than 40 % of the electricity generating capacity in the French market.
RTE, Elektroenergetska bilanca Bretanje, 2014.
Given the highly unusual characteristics of the French electricity market, this limitation to 40 % is proportionate.
Sklep Evropske komisije o začetku postopka z dne 13. novembra 2015, SA.40454 (2015/C) (ex 2015/N), uvodna izjava 137.
It makes it possible to avoid the strengthening of the dominant operator's market position which could result indirectly from the aid via the contractual mechanisms referred to in recital 214.
Začasna bilanca družbe RTE za leto 2013.
In the light of the considerations set out in this section, and provided that the condition described in recital 218 is met, the Commission concludes that the measure will not undermine competition or trade between the Member States in such a manner as to compromise the achievement of the objective in the common interest.
Open cycle gas turbine: v nadaljnjem besedilu: odprti cikel na plin.
Taking account of the remedies proposed by France, the Commission concludes that there is no longer a risk that the measure will unduly distort competition or trade between Member States.

The measure will be compatible with the Guidelines on State aid for environmental protection and energy 2014-2020 when the French authorities have taken the steps necessary to ensure that for the entire duration of the aid the beneficiary of the aid does not provide energy from the plant to an operator which holds more than 40 % of the electricity generation capacity on the French market, whether under a tolling agreement or under a long-term contract of sale for the energy produced by the plant at a price equal to 95 % of the market price,
