The Commission has previously found that the retail supply of electricity to large customers was national in scope, whereas narrower, regional markets could be considered for the retail supply of electricity to small customers.
Češki NUVK je ugotovil, da je maloprodaja električne energije malim odjemalcem v obsegu nacionalna.
In its Decision M.4238 — E.ON/PP concerning the Czech retail market, the market investigation confirmed that the market was at least national in case of electricity retail market.
Po podatkih prijavitelja je trenutno aktivnih približno 65 dobaviteljev z več kot 100 prevzemnimi mesti, ki lahko oskrbujejo velike in male poslovne odjemalce ter gospodinjstva na nacionalni osnovi.
However, the exact scope of the geographic market was left open.
To kaže na nacionalni obseg trgov maloprodaje.
The Czech NCA found that the retail supply of electricity to small customers is national in scope.
V Češki republiki obstajajo tri distribucijska območja, in sicer glede na lastništvo distribucijskih podjetij.
According to the Applicant, there are currently around 65 active suppliers with more than 100 delivery points that can supply large and small commercial customers and households on a national basis.
Zaradi velikih tržnih deležev treh regionalnih distributerjev na njihovih distribucijskih območjih je za Češko republiko značilen izrazit regionalni element.
This would point to a national scope of the retail supply markets.
Skupina ČEZ je prek hčerinske družbe ČEZ Distribuce največji distributer s petimi izmed osmih elektrodistribucijskih omrežij, ki zagotavljajo približno […] celotne električne energije, porabljene v Češki republiki; za primerjavo, […] porabe električne energije izvira z distribucijskega območja družbe E.ON in samo […] z distribucijskega območja družbe PRE, preostanek pa izvira iz lokalnih distribucijskih con.
In the Czech Republic there are three distribution areas, according to the ownership of the distribution companies.
V celoti je približno […] % vseh prevzemnih mest na območju ČEZ Distribuce.
Due to the high market shares of the three regional distributors in their own respective distribution areas, the Czech Republic is characterised by a strong regional element.
Vseh ne oskrbuje ČEZ Prodej (maloprodajna družba skupine ČEZ), vendar ČEZ Prodej na svojem distribucijskem območju oskrbuje veliko večino ([…] %) malih poslovnih odjemalcev in gospodinjstev.
ČEZ group, through its subsidiary ČEZ Distribuce, is the largest distributor with five of the eight electricity distribution networks accounting for around […] of all the electricity consumed in the Czech Republic; in comparison, […] of electricity consumption stems from E.ON's distribution area and only […] stems from PRE's distribution area while the rest stems from the local LDZ .
Na nacionalni ravni ČEZ Prodej oskrbuje […] mio. gospodinjskih prevzemnih mest, kar ustreza tržnemu deležu v višini […] % v smislu prevzemnih mest.
In total, around […] % of all delivery points are located in the area of ČEZ Distribuce.
Naslednji element, ki bi lahko kazal na nehomogene konkurenčne pogoje na treh distribucijskih območjih, bi bilo dejstvo, da PRE na svojem območju za tisti del standardne tarife, ki se nanaša na energijo, zaračunava približno […] % več.
Not all of them are served by ČEZ Prodej (the retail supply arm of ČEZ group); however ČEZ Prodej supplies the large majority ([…] %) of the small commercial customers and households in its own distribution area.
Prijavitelj to cenovno razliko utemeljuje s prisotnostjo nizkocenovne hčerinske družbe PRE (Yello Energy) izven svojega območja, vendar trdi, da ČEZ Prodej in E.ON obračunavata popolnoma enake cene za energijski del tarife v vseh treh območjih.
At national level, ČEZ Prodej serves […] million household delivery points, which corresponds to around […] % market share in terms of delivery points.
Za oceno, ali so pogoji iz člena 34 Direktive 2014/25/EU izpolnjeni, in brez poseganja v uporabo drugega prava Unije ter ob upoštevanju dejstva, da na nacionalni ravni deluje veliko število prodajalcev na drobno, se lahko geografski obseg maloprodaje električne energije končnim odjemalcem v Češki republiki obravnava kot nacionalen za velike in male odjemalce.
Another element that would point to non-homogeneous competition conditions across the three distribution areas would be the fact that PRE charges around […] % more for the energy component of the standard tariff in its own area.
Vendar to ne izključuje dejstva, da so lahko prisotni tudi močni regionalni elementi.
The Applicant justifies this price difference by the presence of PRE's low-cost subsidiary (Yello Energy) outside its own area but claims that ČEZ Prodej and E.ON charge identical prices for the energy component of the tariff across the three areas.
Komisija je v preteklosti opredelila trge maloprodaje plina, vključno s tistimi za male odjemalce, kot nacionalnega obsega.
For the purposes of assessing whether the conditions laid down in Article 34 of Directive 2014/25/EU are fulfilled and without prejudice to the application of other Union law; and based on the fact that there are a large number of retailers operating at national level, the geographic scope of the retail supply of electricity to final customers in the Czech Republic can be considered national for both large and small customers.
V svojem sklepu M.4238 E.ON/PP v zvezi s češkim maloprodajnim trgom je Komisija pustila opredelitev odprto, saj zadevna transakcija pod nobeno alternativno opredelitvijo ni povzročila pomislekov glede konkurence.
This does not exclude however that strong regional elements may also be present.
Z geografskega vidika je češki NUVK v svoji pretekli praksi obravnaval zadevne proizvodne trge v sektorju maloprodaje plina kot nacionalnega obsega.
The Commission has previously defined the markets for retail supply of gas, including those for small customers, as national in scope.
Glede na zadnje informacije na Češkem maloprodajnem trgu plina trenutno obstaja veliko število aktivnih dobaviteljev.
In its Decision M.4238 — E.ON/PP concerning the Czech retail market, the Commission left the definition open, as the transaction concerned did not lead to competition concerns under any alternative definition.
Po mnenju prijavitelja lahko ti dobavitelji oskrbujejo velike in male odjemalce na nacionalni osnovi.
From a geographical perspective, the Czech NCA has, in its previous practice, considered the relevant product markets in the sector of retail supply of gas as national in scope.
Tako kot pri električni energiji je distribucija plina v Češki republiki razdeljena na tri distribucijska območja, in sicer glede na lastništvo distribucijskih podjetij.
According to the latest information, there are currently a large number of active suppliers in the Czech gas retail market.
Pri maloprodaji plina gospodinjstvom Komisija, kar zadeva tržne deleže prvotnih distributerjev plina, po distribucijskih območjih opaža podoben vzorec kot pri električni energiji.
According to the Applicant these suppliers can supply large and small customers on a national basis.
Leta 2015 so ti tržni deleži znašali približno […] % za RWE, […] % za PP in […] % za E.ON.
As for electricity, gas distribution in the Czech Republic is split into three distribution areas, according to the ownership of the distribution companies.
Vendar so ti tržni deleži teh družb pri dobavi plina velikim odjemalcem na nacionalni ravni bolj razpršeni.
With regard to retail supply of gas to households, the Commission notes a similar pattern as for electricity with regard to the incumbent gas distributors' market shares per distribution area.
Energijski del cene plina ni reguliran in ga določajo lokalna distribucijska podjetja na treh distribucijskih območjih.
In 2015, these market shares were around […] % for RWE, […] % for PP and […] % for E.ON.
Analiza prijavitelja kaže, da je oblikovanje cen energijskega dela celotne cene plina PP in RWE enako na vseh treh distribucijskih območjih, medtem ko ima E.ON enake cene na območjih od PP in RWE ter malenkost nižje na svojem območju (manj kot […] %).
However, the market shares of these companies are more diluted at national level with regard to the supply of gas to large customers.
V tem oziru prijavitelj trdi, da je trg maloprodaje plina nacionalnega obsega.
The energy component of the gas price is not regulated and is set by the local distribution companies across the three distribution areas.
Za oceno, ali so pogoji iz člena 34 Direktive 2014/25/EU izpolnjeni, in brez poseganja v uporabo drugega prava Unije ter ob upoštevanju dejstva, da na nacionalni ravni deluje veliko število prodajalcev na drobno, se lahko geografski trg maloprodaje zemeljskega plina končnim odjemalcem v Češki republiki obravnava kot nacionalen za velike in male odjemalce.
The Applicant's analysis shows that both PP's and RWE's pricing of the energy component of the total gas price is the same across the three distribution areas, while E.ON has identical prices in PP and RWE areas, and slightly lower (less than […] %) in its own area.
Vendar tako kot pri oskrbi z električno energijo to ne izključuje dejstva, da so lahko prisotni tudi močni regionalni elementi.
In the light of this, the Applicant argues that the market for gas retail is national in scope.
Analiza trga
For the purposes of assessing whether the conditions laid down in Article 34 of Directive 2014/25/EU are fulfilled and without prejudice to the application of other Union law; and based on the fact that there are a large number of retailers operating at national level, the geographic market for the retail supply of natural gas to final customers in the Czech Republic can be considered national for both large and small customers.
Komisija je sprejela druge sklepe in odločbe v zvezi z uporabo izjem od pravil o javnem naročanju za maloprodajo električne energije in plina.
This does not exclude however that, like for electricity supply, regional elements may also be present.
V navedenih sklepih je Komisija utemeljila svojo oceno zlasti na naslednjih merilih: število tržnih udeležencev na splošno, združeni tržni delež največjih udeležencev, menjave dobaviteljev končnih odjemalcev, likvidnost veleprodajnih trgov in regulacija cen.
Market analysis
Najprej je treba izpostaviti, da je zato, da bi dobavitelj postal verodostojni dolgoročni tržni udeleženec, ki na maloprodajni ravni v Češki republiki izvaja učinkovit konkurenčni pritisk, potrebno imeti dostop do konkurenčnih virov električne energije, bodisi prek lastnih proizvodnih zmogljivosti bodisi prek dostopa do likvidnih veleprodajnih trgov za vse potrebne veleprodajne produkte v Češki republiki ali v tujini prek uvoza.
The Commission has adopted other decisions concerning the applicability of exemptions from procurement rules to the retail supply of electricity and gas.
V nasprotnem primeru so prodajalci na drobno pri nabavi električne energije odvisni od svojih vertikalno integriranih konkurentov, kar pomeni, da jim nenehno grozi nižanje marž, kar pa posledično znatno omejuje konkurenčni pritisk, ki ga lahko izvajajo na vertikalno integrirane ponudnike, kot je ČEZ.
In those Decisions, the Commission based its assessment on the following criteria in particular: number of market participants in general, combined market share of the biggest players, switching rate of final consumers, liquidity of the wholesale markets and price regulation.
Pri oceni, ali je maloprodaja električne energije neposredno izpostavljena konkurenci, je zato pomembno upoštevati tudi konkurenčne pogoje na nabavnem trgu za proizvodnjo in veleprodajo električne energije ter položaj operaterjev na tem trgu.
It should be first pointed out that, in order for a supplier to be a credible long-term player exerting effective competitive pressure at retail level in the Czech Republic, it is necessary to have access to competitive electricity sources, either via own generation capacity or through access to liquid wholesale markets for all the necessary wholesale products in the Czech Republic or abroad through imports.
Število tržnih udeležencev, tržni deleži največjih udeležencev
Otherwise, retailers are dependent on their vertically-integrated competitors for their electricity sourcing which means that they are under the permanent threat of a margin squeeze, which in turn significantly limits the competitive constraint they can exert on vertically-integrated suppliers such as ČEZ.
Junija 2017 je 65 aktivnih dobaviteljev oskrbovalo več kot 100 prevzemnih mest na treh distribucijskih območjih skupine ČEZ ter družb E.ON in PRE.
In assessing whether the retail supply of electricity is directly exposed to competition, it is therefore also necessary to consider the conditions of competition in the upstream market for generation and wholesale supply of electricity and the position of the operators therein.
ČEZ Prodej je največji dobavitelj za velike in male odjemalce, sledita pa mu E.ON in PRE.
Number of market players, market shares of the biggest players
Drugi konkurenti imajo v oskrbi končnih odjemalcev precej manjše tržne deleže.
In June 2017, 65 active suppliers were supplying more than 100 delivery points across the three distribution areas of ČEZ group, E.ON and PRE.
V prejšnjih sklepih je v zvezi s trgom maloprodaje električne energije Komisija menila, da je združeni tržni delež največjih treh družb eden izmed relevantnih kazalnikov za oceno tržne koncentracije in splošnega stanja konkurence.
ČEZ Prodej is the largest supplier for both large and small customers, followed by E.ON and PRE.
Glede na to, da pravila o javnem naročanju ne veljajo za vse tržne udeležence, se analiza osredotoča predvsem na tržni položaj in konkurenčne omejitve za posamezne tržne udeležence, za katere veljajo pravila o javnem naročanju, v bistvu torej ČEZ Prodej in PP.
Other competitors have much smaller market shares for the supply of final customers.
Vendar so, ko je to pomembno za razumevanje tržnega okvira, v katerem ČEZ Prodej in PP delujeta, v analizo zajeti drugi tržni operaterji (glej uvodno izjavo 20).
In previous decisions, the Commission considered that, concerning the electricity retail supply market, the combined market share of the largest three undertakings is one of the relevant indicators to assess the market concentration and assess the general competition situation.
Kot ustrezna se lahko štejejo tudi druga merila koncentracije.
Given that not all market players are subject to public procurement rules, the analysis focuses mainly on the market position and competitive constraints on the individual market players subject to public procurement rules that is, essentially, ČEZ Prodej and PP.
Maloprodaja električne energije velikim odjemalcem
However, whenever relevant to understand the market context in which ČEZ Prodej and PP are operating, other market operators are included in the analysis (see also recital 20).Other measures of concentration may also be considered relevant.
ČEZ Prodej dobavlja oskrbuje […] velikih odjemalcev, količinsko gledano približno […] TWh od […] TWh.
Retail supply of electricity to large customers
Tržni delež za velike odjemalce je bil med letoma 2012 in 2015 precej stabilen in je znašal […] %, vendar je leta 2016 padel na […] %.
ČEZ Prodej supplies […] of large customers, namely, in volume, around […] TWh out of […] TWh.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je do tega padca prišlo isto leto, ko je skupina ČEZ utrpela več padcev proizvodnje na številnih jedrskih reaktorjih, kar je prizadelo približno […] njenih jedrskih zmogljivosti, kar potrjuje, da je dostop do konkurenčnih virov električne energije ključen dejavnik konkurence na maloprodajnih trgih.
Its market shares for large customers have been rather stable during the period 2012-2015 at […] %, however they dropped to […] % in 2016.
Nadalje ni možno izključiti, da bi […]-odstotni tržni delež ČEZ Prodej bil v eni ali več regijah večji, če bi bil izračunan za regionalni in ne nacionalni geografski trg velikih odjemalcev.
The Commission notes that this drop happened during the same year when ČEZ group experienced several shortfalls at a number of its nuclear reactors affecting around […] of its nuclear capacity, which confirms that access to competitive electricity sources is a key factor to compete in the retail markets.
Vendar podatki o tržnih deležih za velike odjemalce, priključene na omrežje ČEZ Prodej, niso bili posredovani, čeprav so bili zahtevani.
Furthermore, it cannot be excluded that ČEZ Prodej's […] % market share would be larger in one or more regions if it was calculated on the basis of a regional, instead of national, geographic market for large customers.
V obdobju 2014–2016 je tržni delež za velike odjemalce bil dokaj stabilen tudi v primeru družbe E.ON, približno […] %, in družbe PRE, približno […] %.
However, local market share figures for large customers connected to the network of ČEZ Prodej were not provided, although requested.
Na nacionalni ravni je skupni tržni delež treh glavnih tržnih udeležencev (ČEZ Prodej, E.ON in PRE) za velike odjemalce približno 60 % (HHI, izračunan za ta trg, je 1847).
During the period 2014-2016, the market shares for large customers were rather stable also in the case of E.ON with around […] % and in the case of PRE with around […] %.
Kar zadeva druge dobavitelje velikih odjemalcev (Bohemia Energy, CENTROPOL, RWE, Veolia Komodity, Lumius, EP Energy Trading, Slovenské elektrárne in Amper Market), so njihovi tržni deleži pod […] %.
At national level, the combined market share of the three main market players (ČEZ Prodej, E.ON and PRE) for large customers is around 60 % (HHI calculated for this market is 1847).
Maloprodaja električne energije malim odjemalcem
With regard to the other suppliers for large customers, Bohemia Energy, CENTROPOL, RWE, Veolia Komodity, Lumius, EP Energy Trading, Slovenské elektrárne and Amper Market are all below […] %.
Na nacionalni ravni ČEZ Prodej oskrbuje […] % malih odjemalcev v smislu količinskih dobav; vendar so večje količine bile prevzete na distribucijskem območju skupine ČEZ, in sicer so mali odjemalci porabili […] TWh od […] TWh.
Retail supply of electricity to small customers
Tržni delež ČEZ Prodej za te odjemalce je bil v obdobju 2012–2015 precej stabilen pri […] %.
At national level, ČEZ Prodej supplies […] % of small customers in terms of volume deliveries; however, larger volumes were consumed in ČEZ group's distribution area, namely, […] TWh out of […] TWh were consumed by small customers.
Vendar Komisija na podlagi mnenja NUVK ugotavlja, da se je tržni delež ČEZ Prodej v zadnjih šestih letih zmanjšal.
ČEZ Prodej's market shares for such customers have been rather stable during the period 2012-2015 at […] %.
Na lokalni ravni so tržni deleži prvotnih dobaviteljev malih odjemalcev veliki: v obdobju 2014–2015 sta družbi ČEZ Prodej in E.ON na svojih distribucijskih območjih imeli […]-odstoten tržni delež, medtem ko je družba PRE na območju Prage imela […]-odstoten tržni delež.
The Commission notes however that, according to the NCA opinion, the market shares of ČEZ Prodej have decreased over the last 6 years.
Vzajemna prisotnost treh glavnih dobaviteljev na njihovih območjih je bila zanemarljiva ([…] %).
At local level, the incumbents' market shares for small customers are high: in 2014-2015, ČEZ Prodej and E.ON had […] % market share in their respective distribution areas, while PRE had […] % market share in the Prague area.
To potrjuje prisotnost močnih regionalnih elementov.
The presence of the three main suppliers in each other's respective areas was insignificant ([…] %).
V obdobju 2014–2016 je tržni delež za male odjemalce bil dokaj stabilen tudi v primeru družbe E.ON, približno […] %, in družbe PRE, približno […] %.
This confirms that strong regional elements are present.
Na nacionalni ravni je skupni tržni delež treh glavnih tržnih udeležencev (ČEZ Prodej, E.ON in PRE) za male odjemalce približno 74 % (HHI, izračunan za ta trg, je 2664).
During the period 2014-2016, the market shares for small customers were rather stable also in the case of E.ON with around […] % and in the case of PRE with around […] %.
Najbližji konkurent v navedeni kategoriji je Bohemia Energy, z deležem […] %.
At national level, the combined market share of the three main market players (ČEZ Prodej, E.ON and PRE) for small customers is around 74 % (the HHI calculated for this market is 2664).
Menjave dobaviteljev končnih odjemalcev
The closest competitor for that category of small customers is Bohemia Energy with […] %.
Število menjav dobaviteljev se tudi obravnava kot ustrezen kazalnik učinkovite konkurence.
Switching rates of final consumers
Opredelita se lahko dve vrsti menjav dobaviteljev: zunanja menjava, ki pomeni menjavo dobaviteljev, in notranja menjava, ki je opredeljena kot menjava tarife ali pogodbe z obstoječim dobaviteljem.
The number of customers switching is also considered a relevant indicator of effective competition.
V prejšnjem sklepu je Komisija analizirala predvsem zunanjo menjavo.
Two types of customer switching could be defined: external switching, which refers to the switching of supplier, and internal switching, which is defined as the switching of tariff or contract with the existing supplier.
Prijavitelj trdi, da je menjav dobaviteljev med velikimi odjemalci relativno veliko.
In a previous decision, the Commission analysed mainly the external switching.
Vendar je stopnja menjav dobaviteljev med velikimi odjemalci padla s približno 30 % v letu 2010 na 16 % v letu 2015; povprečna stopnja zunanjih menjav v navedenih šestih letih je bila 22 %.
The Applicant claims that external switching rates are relatively high among large consumers.
Za primerjavo, stopnje zunanjih menjav so v povprečju večje v Češki republiki kot Nemčiji (približno 11 %) in manjše kot v Italiji (približno 32 %).
However, the external switching rate among large customers decreased from around 30 % in 2010 to 16 % in 2015; the average external switching rate during those six years was 22 %.
Po navedbah prijavitelja pri zamenjavi dobavitelja električne energije ne nastanejo nobeni stroški; odjemalci, neposredno priključeni na visokonapetostno omrežje, svojo oskrbo z električno energijo organizirajo prek razpisov ali pa električno energijo neposredno kupujejo na borzah, kar lahko pojasni njihovo nagnjenost, da dobavitelje menjujejo bolj pogosto kot mali odjemalci (glej uvodne izjave od 56 do 59).
By way of comparison, on average the external switching rates are higher in the Czech Republic than in Germany (around 11 %) and lower than in Italy (around 32 %).
Prijavitelj trdi, da stopnje zunanjih menjav pri malih odjemalcih niso velike zaradi domnevnega velikega zadovoljstva odjemalcev in/ali spremembe pogodbe z istim dobaviteljem.
According to the Applicant, no costs are incurred for switching electricity supplier; customers directly connected to the high voltage network organise their electricity supply through tenders or they directly purchase electricity on the exchanges, which may explain their tendency to switch suppliers more often than small customers (see recitals 56 to 59).
Stopnja zunanjih menjav pri malih odjemalcih je bila približno 4,6 % v letu 2015 (kot leta 2010); povprečna stopnja zunanjih menjav v teh šestih letih je bila 5 %.
The Applicant claims that external switching rates are not high for small customers, due to alleged high customer satisfaction levels and/or due to contract renegotiations with the same supplier.
Po navedbah prijavitelja je zunanja menjava dobavitelja električne energije za male odjemalce dokaj enostavna.
The external switching rate of small customers was approximately 4,6 % in 2015 (i.e. the same as in 2010); the average external switching rate during these six years was 5 %.
Glede na raziskavo med odjemalci, ki jo je opravil prijavitelj, bi mali odjemalci na treh distribucijskih območjih menjali dobavitelja električne energije, če bi se cena povišala za 5 do 10 %.
According to the Applicant, external switching of the electricity supplier is fairly easy also for small customers.
Mnenje NUVK kaže, da so odjemalci glede na raziskavo, ki jo je naročila družba ČEZ Prodej, zelo občutljivi na cene in pripravljeni menjati dobavitelja.
