The Commission concludes that the measure cannot be classified as a public service obligation.
V zvezi z drugim merilom Komisija meni, da je kazalnik, ki potrjuje, da elektrarna s kombiniranim ciklom na plin zagotavlja zadostno proizvodnjo, zadovoljivo objektiviran (glej uvodno izjavo 168).
The first test established in the Altmark judgment is not satisfied.
Cilj skupnega interesa in nujnost
Further, the measure constitutes an advantage.
Komisija meni, da ukrep prispeva k uresničitvi cilja skupnega interesa in je potreben v skladu z razdelkoma 3.9.1 in 3.9.2 smernic, če izpolnjuje naslednje pogoje: (i) težava z zadostnostjo proizvodnih zmogljivosti mora biti ugotovljena z merljivim kazalnikom, rezultati pa morajo biti skladni z analizo, ki jo je izvedla mreža ENTSO-E; (ii) ukrep mora imeti natančno opredeljen cilj; (iii) ukrep mora biti usmerjen na naravo in vzroke težav, zlasti na nedelovanje trga, ki mu preprečuje, da bi zagotavljal potrebno raven zmogljivosti; in (iv) država članica je morala predvideti še druge možnosti za rešitev težave.
An advantage for purposes of Article 107(1) TFEU is any economic benefit which an undertaking could not have obtained under normal market conditions, that is to say in the absence of State intervention.
Težava z zadostnostjo zmogljivosti je bila jasno ugotovljena in količinsko opredeljena.
In this instance, the consortium will receive a premium that is not granted under normal market conditions but results from a public subsidy.
Zaradi prenehanja obratovanja – ob odsotnosti naložb v zmogljivost načrtovanega za leto 2017 – štirih plinskih turbin v Brennilisu in Dirinonu ter blokov na kurilno olje v obratu v Cordemaisu bi se ustvaril preostali primanjkljaj zmogljivosti, ocenjen na 200–600 MW na leto v obdobju 2017–2020, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 81.
Consequently, the measure constitutes an advantage conferred on the successful tenderer.
Te ugotovitve so v nasprotju s trditvami nekaterih zainteresiranih strani (glej uvodno izjavo 55).
To be considered selective for purposes of Article 107(1) TFEU, aid must favour ‘certain undertakings or the production of certain goods’.
Nasprotno pa potrjujejo trditve, ki so jih navedle v uvodnih izjavah 61, 63 in 81.
In this case, the measure concerns only the successful tenderer, and must therefore be considered selective.
Komisija poleg tega meni, da so francoski organi zadovoljivo objektivizirali tveganje, povezano z ohranjanjem napetosti.
Consequently, the Commission considers that the measure confers a selective benefit for purposes of Article 107(1) TFEU.
Družba RTE se je namreč v letu 2012 štirikrat odločila za vzpostavitev posebnega mehanizma za izognitev kakršnim koli dogodkom, povezanim s padcem napetosti v Bretanji.
Public aid to undertakings has an effect on competition for purposes of Article 107(1) TFEU only if it ‘distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods’ and only ‘in so far as it affects trade between Member States’.
Tak mehanizem vključuje sistem zmanjšanja obremenitve odjema, ki se vklopi v najbolj kritičnih obdobjih.
A measure granted by the State is considered to distort or threaten to distort competition only when it is likely to strengthen the position of the recipient compared with other undertakings competing with it [37].
Francoski organi nujnost ukrepa opirajo na merljive podatke iz študij, ki jih je družba RTE predložila v okviru svoje letne oglaševalske dejavnosti [41].
In practice, distortion for purposes of Article 107(1) is generally found where the State grants a financial benefit to an undertaking in a sector where there is competition [38].
Uporabljena metoda je po eni strani skladna s tisto, ki je uporabljena v začasni bilanci družbe RTE.
In this instance, the measure is likely to strengthen the CEB consortium's competitive position vis-à-vis other undertakings, enabling it to increase its electricity generating capacity in relation to the rest of the competition.
Ta metoda temelji na verjetnostnem pristopu, pri katerem se ravni ponudbe in povpraševanja primerjajo s simulacijo delovanja evropskega sistema električne energije v urnem intervalu glede na celotno leto.
Public aid to undertakings constitutes State aid for purposes of Article 107(1) TFEU only in so far as it ‘affects trade between Member States’.
Nekateri parametri, kot je razpoložljivost proizvodnega parka, temeljijo na referenčnih parametrih iz študij, ki jih je izvedla mreža ENTSO-E.
Public aid can be considered capable of having an effect on trade between Member States even if the recipient is not directly involved in cross-border trade.
Po drugi strani poslani podatki vsebinsko temeljijo na elementih iz bilance, ki potrjujejo (i) dinamiko odjema, ki za 2,7-krat presega nacionalni trend v obdobju 2006–2012 (v Bretanji se je odjem v zadnjih šestih letih v povprečju povečal za 1,6 %), (ii) konični odjem, ki je še vedno občutljiv na vremenske razmere in večji od francoskega povprečja, glavni razlog za to pa je struktura odjema v regiji, kjer gospodinjski in terciarni sektor zasedata pomembno mesto, (iii) nezadostnost lokalnih proizvodnih zmogljivosti, saj proizvodni obrati v Bretanji zagotavljajo le 13 % električne energije, porabljene v regiji (glej uvodno izjavo 166), in (iv) izboljšave omrežja, s katerimi se deloma odpravljajo težave z zadostnostjo.
Moreover, the relatively small amount of aid or the relatively small size of the undertaking which receives it does not as such exclude the possibility that trade between Member States might be affected [39].
Neravnotežje med proizvedeno in porabljeno energijo namreč slabi zanesljivost oskrbe v regiji, zlasti krepi naslednji šibkosti: severni del Bretanje, ki obsega večji del departmaja Côtes d'Armor ter somestji Saint-Malo in Dinard, katerega oskrba naj bi bila prekinjena v primeru nerazpoložljivosti na 44-kilovotlni osi Domloup-Plaine Haute, in celotno regijo Bretanja, ki je izpostavljena tveganju padca napetosti zaradi oddaljenosti med proizvodnimi obrati in odjemnimi središči.
In this instance, the beneficiary of the aid will obtain a benefit that its competitors will not be able to obtain because of the selectivity of the aid.
Družba RTE je izvedla več naložb, zlasti med letoma 2011 in 2013 namestitev nadomestnih obratov, razporejenih na celotnem ozemlju zahodnega dela regije, v skupni zmogljivosti 1150 MVAR (megavolt amperi jalove moči), da bi v hladnejših obdobjih zagotovila potrebno raven moči.
Furthermore, the effect of aid on competition and on trade between Member States is clear if the measure benefits an undertaking active in a sector which has been liberalised at the European level [40].
Po mnenju družbe RTE je treba te nadomestne obrate dopolniti s priključitvijo elektrarne s kombiniranim ciklom na plin v Landivisiauu, da se povrne varnostna rezerva, ki je potrebna glede na tveganje padca napetosti, in se tako zagotovi zadostna „varnostna mreža“ [42].
In this instance, the energy sector has indeed been so liberalised.
Ukrep dalje izpolnjuje natančno opredeljen cilj odprave tržnih pomanjkljivosti, to je neobstoja naložb, čeprav so te v Bretanji nujne, da se prepreči padec napetosti v celotni regiji, česar ni mogoče omiliti samo s postavitvijo električnih daljnovodov, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 98.
Consequently, the measure will affect competition and trade between Member States.
Komisija se strinja s trditvijo, da bretonska regija trpi denarni primanjkljaj, kar je razlog za to, da rast cen v bretonskih razmerah pomanjkanja električne energije ni zadostna, česar, kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 101 in 95, ni mogoče omiliti z razdrobitvijo tarifnega območja.
Conclusion on the existence of aid
Poleg tega niti z mehanizmom zmogljivosti ni mogoče izpolniti posebnih potreb regije (glej uvodno izjavo 177).
For these reasons, the Commission maintains its view that the measure constitutes State aid caught by Article 107(1) TFEU.
To po mnenju Komisije zadovoljivo pojasnjuje neobstoj naložb v nove zmogljivosti brez javne finančne podpore.
The measure has not yet been implemented.
Po eni strani izbira tehnologije kombiniranega cikla na plin omogoča izpolnitev potreb po moči in zmogljivosti, kot so opredeljene v dogovoru PEB.
The aid will be paid when the plant is commissioned, on or after […].
Elektrarna s kombiniranim ciklom na plin zagotavlja zanesljivost oskrbe in prispeva k ohranitvi električne napetosti na območju.
Consequently, the measure will be implemented after this decision.
To je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 104 in naslednjih.
It cannot be considered to be unlawful.
Po drugi strani je delež stalne proizvodnje, razpoložljive med zimskimi konicami, zelo majhen, kar povzroča tveganje.
Compatibility with the internal market
V zvezi z utemeljitvijo nujnosti ohranitve stalne ravni napetosti Komisija opozarja na obstoj elektroenergetske občutljivosti, ki jo je družba RTE ugotovila v severnem delu Bretanje.
Justification of the analytical framework
Severni del Bretanje se oskrbuje s 400-kilovoltnim enosmernim daljnovodom in dvema 225-kilovoltnima daljnovodoma na zahodu iz postaje v La Martyru.
The service cannot be classified as a public service obligation, as explained in recitals 144 to 147.
V primeru pretrganja voda med Rennesom in Saint-Brieucom, bi na obeh 225-kilovoltnih daljnovodih prišlo do preobremenitev, kar bi še poslabšali padci napetosti na območju reke Rance.
Therefore, the Commission's communication on the SGEI framework does not apply.
Te razmere bi brez zmanjšanja obremenitve v severnem delu Bretanje povzročile tveganje izgube celotne oskrbe območja.
The Commission has consequently assessed the compatibility of the measure in the light of section 3.9 of the EEAG.
Poleg tega je Bretanja v primeru velikega odjema na celotnem zahodnem delu ob nerazpoložljivosti nekaterih elektrarn ali dogodkih v omrežju izpostavljena tveganjem ciljne prekinitve dobave pri oskrbi z električno energijo, pa tudi tveganju splošnega padca napetosti v vsej regiji.
Paragraph (19)(34) of the EEAG defines ‘generation adequacy’ as (i) a level of generated capacity which is deemed to be adequate to meet demand levels in the Member State in any given period, (ii) based on the use of a conventional statistical indicator used by essential organisations (e.g. the European Network of Transmission Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E)).
Država članica je utemeljila neuporabo drugih tehnologij (npr. energije iz obnovljivih virov), izravnav, vzpostavitve cenovnega območja ali izvedbe povezovalnih daljnovodov.
For the first criterion, the Commission agrees that the measure is indeed aimed at achieving a level of generated capacity which is deemed to be adequate to meet demand levels in Brittany, both quantitatively (see recital 166) and qualitatively (recital 174).
Po mnenju Komisije z nobeno od teh rešitev posamično ne bi bilo mogoče v celoti odpraviti poudarjenih tveganj, zlasti ne tveganj padca napetosti, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 16.
For the second criterion, the Commission considers that the indicators tending to show that the CCG plant provides an adequate response are sufficiently objective (see recital 168).
V zvezi z utemeljitvijo neobstoja izključne uporabe povezovalnih daljnovodov Komisija navaja, da Bretanja, ki leži na skrajnem koncu omrežja, ni v položaju, ki bi bil primerljiv z drugimi francoskimi regijami s podobnimi značilnostmi (PACA, Franche Comté, Pays de la Loire, Korzika).
Objective of common interest; need
Tam oskrbo z električno energijo zagotavljajo številni povezovalni daljnovodi z drugimi regijami.
The Commission believes that the measure contributes to the achievement of an objective of common interest and is needed within the meaning of sections 3.9.1 and 3.9.2 of the EEAG if it fulfils the following conditions: (i) the problem of generation adequacy must be identified using a quantifiable indicator, and the results must be consistent with the generation adequacy analysis carried out by ENTSO-E; (ii) the measure must pursue a well-defined objective; (iii) the measure must target the nature and causes of the problem, and in particular the market failure which prevents the market from delivering the level of capacity required; and (iv) the Member State must have considered other options to address the problem.
Ohranjanje napetosti ne povzroča težav.
The generation adequacy problem has been clearly identified and quantified.
Poleg tega ne ležijo „na skrajnem koncu omrežja“ kot Bretanja.
The closure, planned for 2017 in the absence of investment in capacity, of four combustion turbine plants at Brennilis and Dirinon and the fuel oil units at the Cordemais plant, would create a residual capacity shortfall estimated at between 200 MW and 600 MW per year over the period 2017-2023, as explained in recital 81.
Korzika, ki ima slabe medsebojne povezave [43], ima velike zmogljivosti na svojem ozemlju.
Even if an extension of the life of these power plants were to be considered, they would have to be closed no later than 2023.
Evropska komisija je 8. novembra 2016 odobrila francoski projekt mehanizma zmogljivosti [44].
On this point the Commission notes the low level of generation in Brittany, standing at 13,3 % of consumption in 2014; of this, 11,8 percentage points are delivered by renewable energies, showing the very small proportion of production that is not intermittent.
Sodelovanje elektrarne v mehanizmu zmogljivosti je v glavnem predvideno prek ponovnega uravnoteženja, ki bo predstavljalo le zanemarljiv delež vseh prihodkov elektrarne (približno 1,5 % vseh letnih prihodkov), tako da so posledice tega mehanizma na projekt in njegovega upoštevanja pri oceni ukrepa omejene.
These aspects refute the line of argument developed by certain of the interested parties (see recital 55).
Kakršno koli drugo sodelovanje v mehanizmu zmogljivosti, ki presega ponovno uravnoteženje, v poslovnem načrtu ni predvideno.
They confirm the arguments put forward in recitals 61, 63 and 81.
Če bi se tako sodelovanje uresničilo, bi se nadomestilo na njegovi podlagi odštelo od zneska premije.
The Commission also believes that the French authorities have provided a properly objective demonstration of the voltage stability risk.
Poleg tega je Komisija v končnem poročilu o preiskavi sektorja mehanizmov zmogljivosti [45] menila, da je v primeru lokalnih težav z zadostnostjo proizvodne zmogljivosti izbira mehanizma zmogljivosti odvisna od posebnih značilnosti zadevnega trga [46].
Four times in the course of 2012 RTE decided to establish a specific measure for dealing with any incidents linked to a voltage collapse in Brittany.
V obravnavani zadevi naj obstoj lokalnega povpraševanja v Bretanji ne bi neposredno vplival na pojavitev lokalne ponudbe.
This consisted of a system that would trigger load shedding during the most critical periods.
Francoski trg električne energije namreč ne more kazati na povpraševanje po zmogljivosti na lokalni ravni.
The need for the measure proposed by the French authorities rests on quantified data from studies conducted by RTE in connection with its annual published reports [41].
Ker je pomanjkanje zmogljivosti zelo lokalizirano, ga danes ni mogoče rešiti zgolj z uporabo novega mehanizma zmogljivosti v Franciji.
The method used is consistent with that followed in RTE's forward estimates.
Komisija iz navedenih razlogov meni, da je ukrep, ki služi cilju skupnega interesa, da se zagotovi zanesljivost oskrbe z električno energijo, v Franciji vsekakor potreben.
It takes a probabilistic approach in which levels of supply and demand are compared using a simulation of the operation of the European electrical system based on hourly periods over a whole year.
V oddelku 3.9.3 smernic se zahteva, da je ukrep ustrezen instrument za dosego zastavljenega cilja skupnega interesa.
Certain parameters, such as the availability of generating facilities, rely on the reference parameters in the studies conducted by ENTSO-E.
Ukrep se torej šteje za ustrezen, če izpolnjuje naslednje pogoje: (i) pomoč mora biti izključno nadomestilo za storitev zagotavljanja razpoložljivosti zmogljivosti; (ii) pomoč mora zagotavljati ustrezne spodbude za obstoječe in prihodnje proizvajalce ter za upravljavce, ki uporabljajo zamenljive tehnologije, kot je odziv na strani povpraševanja ali rešitve glede skladiščenja; in (iii) pomoč mora upoštevati obseg, v katerem bi bilo mogoče vse morebitne težave z zadostnostjo proizvodnih zmogljivosti odpraviti s povezovalnimi zmogljivostmi.
On the substance, the data provided are based on accounting information attesting to (i) consumption growth 2,7 times greater than the national trend for the period 2006-2012 (over the last six years in Brittany the average increase in consumption was 1,6 %); (ii) demand peaks still sensitive to climate conditions, above the average sensitivity for France, owing mainly to the structure of consumption in the region, where a substantial share is accounted for by the residential and tertiary sectors; (iii) inadequate local generation facilities, since plants located in Brittany provide only 13 % of the electricity consumed in the region (see recital 166), and (iv) improvements made to the grid providing a partial response to the adequacy problem.
Prvič, Komisija ugotavlja, da premija ne vključuje nobenega nadomestila za prodajo električne energije.
The imbalance between energy produced and energy consumed undermines energy security in the region, the particular weak points being the north of Brittany, consisting of the major part of the department of Côtes d'Armor and the conurbations of Saint-Malo and Dinard, where supply would be interrupted in the event of unavailability of the 44 kV Domloup–Plaine Haute line, and the whole of Brittany, in that it is vulnerable to a risk of voltage collapse caused by the distance between generating sites and centres of consumption.
Sestavljajo jo namreč (i) spremenljivka vrednosti zmogljivosti, ki znaša [50000–60000] EUR/MW/leto, in tri spremenljivke, povezane z geografsko umeščenostjo projekta, in sicer: (ii) dodatni stroški, povezani s prenosom plina, v višini [20000–40000] EUR/MW/leto, (iii) dodatni stroški, povezani s priključitvijo, v višini 6000 EUR/MW/leto, in (iv) dodatni stroški, povezani s posebnimi okoljskimi ukrepi, v višini 2000 EUR/MW/leto.
RTE has undertaken several investments: in particular, between 2011 and 2013 it installed reactive power compensation equipment throughout the west of the region, giving a total capacity of 1150 MVAR (mega volt ampere reactive), in order to guarantee the level of power needed during periods of cold.
Premija se tako nanaša na plačilo za zmogljivost in izključuje vsakršno nadomestilo, povezano s prodajo električne energije.
According to RTE, this compensation equipment must be supplemented by the connection of the Landivisiau CCG station in order to restore the safety margin needed to avoid any danger of voltage collapse and thus to establish a proper safety net [42].
Drugič, Komisija sicer meni, da je bila pomoč dodeljena na podlagi diskriminatornega postopka povabila k oddaji ponudb (glej uvodno izjavo 145), vendar ugotavlja, da so francoski organi sodelovanje pri povabilu k oddaji ponudb upravičeno omejili na elektrarne s kombiniranim ciklom na plin.
Next, the measure has a well-defined objective, which is to compensate for market failures, i.e. a lack of investment despite the fact that investment is needed in Brittany in order to avoid a voltage collapse over the whole of the region, a danger which cannot be averted simply by creating electricity transmission lines, as explained in recital 98.
Razlog za to omejitev je namreč posebna potreba po ohranitvi napetosti v zadovoljivih energetskih in okoljskih razmerah.
The Commission accepts the argument that the Breton region is suffering from a ‘missing money’ issue which can be explained by the fact that prices do not rise sufficiently despite the Breton context of electricity shortages, and which cannot, as explained in recitals 101 and 95, be overcome by splitting the pricing zone.
Med termoelektrarnami, torej v primerjavi s termoelektrarnami na premog in tehnologijami na kurilno olje, plinske elektrarne najmanj onesnažujejo (glej tudi uvodno izjavo 102).
Nor are the specific needs of the region met by the capacity mechanism (see recital 177).
Izbira elektrarne s kombiniranim ciklom na plin je v primerjavi z drugimi vrstami plinskih elektrarn, zlasti z odprtim ciklom na plin, boljša z okoljskega vidika, ker gre za energijsko visoko učinkovit način proizvodnje, pri katerem se uporablja izključno zemeljski plin, gorivo, ki med fosilnimi gorivi oddaja najmanj CO2, hkrati pa zagotavlja potrebni prilagodljivost in odzivnost za odpravo ugotovljenih tržnih pomanjkljivosti.
These factors provide a satisfactory explanation, in the Commission's view, of why there will be no investment in new capacity without public financial support.
Tretjič, ukrep pomoči upošteva povezovalne zmogljivosti, vendar ta možnost ne omogoča zadovoljivega odgovora na potrebo po ohranitvi ravni napetosti.
The measure targets the causes of the problem identified, in particular the market failure preventing the supply of the capacity required, at two levels.
Poleg tega je izgradnja povezovalnih daljnovodov rezultat dolgoročne vizije.
The choice of CCG technology simultaneously meets the requirements for power and availability, as identified in the PEB.
Projekti povezovalnih daljnovodov se že pripravljajo, pri čemer se nanašajo na povečanje povezovalne zmogljivosti med Francijo in Združenim kraljestvom ter med Bretanjo in Irsko.
CCG makes it possible to ensure security of supply and helps to maintain voltage in the area.
Komisija poleg tega opozarja, da ukrep ne nasprotuje povečanju tokov, ki prečkajo Bretanjo, v okviru izgradnje povezovalnega daljnovoda.
This point is developed in recitals 104 et seq.
Poleg tega nekateri alternativni ukrepi niso ustrezni:
In addition, the proportion of production that is non-intermittent and available during winter peaks is currently very low, and this carries a risk.
Energija iz obnovljivih virov, ki je sicer upoštevana v dogovoru PEB, sama po sebi v tej regiji, ki leži na skrajnem koncu omrežja, ne zagotavlja niti ohranitve napetosti niti učinkovitega upravljanja ob koničnih obremenitvah.
Turning to the justification of the need to maintain a constant voltage level, the Commission notes the existence of a weakness in the electrical system identified by RTE in the north of Brittany.
Raven naložb v povezovalne daljnovode, ki je v letu 2015 znašala 45 milijonov EUR, bo zgolj nezadostno prispevala k potrebam po zmogljivosti v regiji.
The north Brittany area is supplied by a single 400 kV circuit and two 225 kV lines in the west from the substation at La Martyre.
Komisija navaja, da je družba RTE že izvedla pomembna dela na omrežju, vendar ta ne zadostujejo za dosego cilja zagotovitve zanesljivosti oskrbe.
In the event of a break in the line between Rennes and Saint-Brieuc, overloads would occur on the two 225 kV lines, worsened by the voltage drops in the Rance area.
Ti ukrepi so bili naslednji: okrepitev bretonske „varnostne mreže“ med letoma 2011 in 2013, postavitev prečnega transformatorja na postaji v Brennilisu (2015) in podvojitev transformatorskih zmogljivosti 400/225 kV v obratu Plaine Haute (2015).
This situation could result in the loss of all the supply in the area, in the absence of load shedding in the north.
Vendar po letu 2017 prečni transformator v Brennilisu ne bo več zadostoval za oskrbo severnega dela Bretanje.
Further, in the event of high consumption throughout the west, certain types of plant outage or network incidents leave Brittany exposed to risks of the localised failure of its electricity supply, and also to the risk of a generalised voltage collapse across the whole region.
To potrjujejo podatki, ki so jih zainteresirane strani navedle v uvodni izjavi 65(2).
The Member State has justified the decision not to use other technologies (for example, renewables) or demand-side response, or to create a separate pricing zone or install interconnection lines.
Izravnava ni ustrezen mehanizem.
