It is the central objective of the revision of the EnWG to reform the electricity market in order to make it fit to deal with the energy transition, which in Germany is characterised by a significant increase of generation from variable renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar energy, the phase-out of nuclear power and a high level of connection to several neighbouring markets.
Osrednji cilj revizije energetskega zakona je reforma trga z električno energijo, da bo primeren za obravnavo energetskega prehoda, za katerega je v Nemčiji značilno znatno povečanje proizvodnje iz različnih obnovljivih virov energije, kot sta vetrna in sončna energija, postopno opuščanje jedrske energije in močna povezanost z več sosednjimi trgi.
The legal basis for the Capacity Reserve is Article 13e of the revised EnWG.
Pravni okvir, ki ureja rezervno zmogljivost, je določen v členu 13e spremenjenega energetskega zakona.
More detailed provisions on, inter alia, the applicable tendering procedure, the utilisation and the remuneration of the Reserve are laid down in the Kapazitätsreserveverordnung (hereafter, ‘Capacity Reserve Ordinance’).
Podrobnejše določbe, ki se med drugim nanašajo na postopek izbora, uporabo in nadomestilo za rezervno zmogljivost, so določene v Kapazitätsreserveverordnung (v nadaljnjem besedilu: odlok o rezervni zmogljivosti).
The Capacity Reserve aims at ensuring continued security of electricity supply also under the changing situation in the electricity market.
Rezervna zmogljivost je namenjena zagotavljanju stalne zanesljivosti oskrbe z električno energijo tudi v spreminjajočih se razmerah na trgu z električno energijo.
The Capacity Reserve aims at contributing to secure supplies even at times when, despite free price formation on the power exchanges, the wholesale market does not manage to realise sufficient supplies to meet all demand.
K zanesljivosti oskrbe naj bi prispevala tudi takrat, ko veleprodajni trg kljub prostemu oblikovanju cen na borzah električne energije ne uspe zagotoviti zadostnih zalog, da bi zadostil celotnemu povpraševanju.
It does so by dispatching, when necessary, existing power plants that are held in reserve outside the market.
To stori z dispečiranjem obstoječih elektrarn, ki so v rezervi zunaj trga.
Germany aims to minimise potential market distortions through several measures.
Nemčija namerava morebitna izkrivljanja trga zmanjšati z več ukrepi.
It seeks in particular to separate the capacities held in reserve from the market in order to prevent any distortions of the price formation and the investment signals in the electricity market.
Njen cilj je zlasti ločiti zmogljivosti v rezervi od trga, da bi se preprečila morebitna izkrivljanja oblikovanja cen in naložbenih signalov na trgu z električno energijo.
Description of the Capacity Reserve
Opis rezervne zmogljivosti
The EnWG and the Capacity Reserve Ordinance provide that the four German Transmission System Operators (‘TSOs’) shall gradually build up reserve capacities that will ensure security of supply when the market fails to clear and demand for power remains unmet by supply.
Energetski zakon in odlok o rezervni zmogljivosti določata, da bodo štirje nemški operaterji prenosnih sistemov postopno povečevali rezervne zmogljivosti, ki bodo zagotavljale zanesljivost oskrbe, kadar se trg ne uravnovesi in s ponudbo ni mogoče zadostiti povpraševanju po energiji.
The TSOs jointly procure the capacities by way of tenders, organised every two years for a two-year delivery period (the first delivery period running from October 2019 to September 2021).
Operaterji prenosnih sistemov skupaj naročijo zmogljivosti prek razpisov, ki se organizirajo vsaki dve leti za dveletno obdobje dobave (prvo obdobje dobave traja od oktobra 2019 do septembra 2021).
Capacity providers bid for the yearly remuneration they ask to receive for maintaining their capacity available, up to a maximum of EUR 100000/MW per year.
Ponudniki zmogljivosti oddajo ponudbe za letno nadomestilo, ki ga zahtevajo za ohranjanje razpoložljivosti svoje zmogljivosti in lahko znaša največ 100000 EUR/MW letno.
They are selected on the basis of their bid until the total demanded volume of 2 GW is met.
Izbrani so na podlagi svoje ponudbe, dokler ni izpolnjena skupna zahtevana količina 2 GW.
The capacity providers that are successful in the tender receive remuneration based on the highest successful bid submitted in the tender (‘pay-as-clear pricing’).
Ponudniki zmogljivosti, ki so uspešni na razpisu, prejmejo nadomestilo na podlagi najvišje uspešne ponudbe, predložene v razpisu (oblikovanje cen po načelu enotne izravnalne cene, v angleščini „pay-as-clear pricing“).
The tender is open to all types of domestic capacity providers (generating plants, storage facilities and demand response operators) provided they fulfil a number of eligibility criteria in the form of technical requirements which are laid down in paragraph 9 of the Ordinance.
Razpisa se lahko udeležijo vse vrste domačih ponudnikov zmogljivosti (elektrarne, prostori za skladiščenje in izvajalci prilagajanja odjema), če izpolnjujejo več meril za upravičenost v obliki tehničnih zahtev, ki so določene v odstavku 9 odloka o rezervni zmogljivosti.
Following the Opening Decision, Germany has committed itself to change certain of those eligibility criteria.
Nemčija se je po sklepu o začetku postopka zavezala, da bo spremenila nekatera od teh meril za upravičenost.
These changes primarily concern the participation requirements for demand response operators and are explained in detail in Section 6 of this Decision.
Navedene spremembe se nanašajo zlasti na zahteve za udeležbo za izvajalce prilagajanja odjema in so podrobno pojasnjene v oddelku 6 tega sklepa.
Capacity providers are not allowed to sell their reserve capacity on the electricity market.
Ponudniki zmogljivosti svoje rezervne zmogljivosti ne smejo prodati na trgu z električno energijo.
They are also not allowed to return to the market once their reserve contract ends.
Prav tako se ne smejo vrniti na trg, ko se izteče njihova pogodba za rezervno zmogljivost.
In this way, the German authorities intend to ensure a strict separation between the market and the Reserve, and thus avoid that the Reserve distorts the market functioning.
Tako nameravajo nemški organi zagotoviti strogo ločitev med trgom in rezervo ter tako preprečiti, da bi rezerva izkrivila delovanje trga.
Capacity providers are also not allowed to sell on their rights and obligations arising from their participation in the Capacity Reserve to third parties.
Ponudnikom zmogljivosti prav tako ni dovoljeno svojih pravic in obveznosti, ki izhajajo iz njihovega sodelovanja v rezervni zmogljivosti, prodati tretjim osebam: sodelovanje in spremljajoče nadomestilo sta strogo vezana na obrat, ki je bil za sodelovanje izbran prek razpisa.
The participation and the accompanying remuneration are strictly tied to the installation that qualified for the Capacity Reserve via the tender.
Določba o nevračanju, kot je opisana v uvodni izjavi 11, ne velja za izvajalce prilagajanja odjema.
For demand response operators the no-return clause as described in recital 11 does not apply.
Izvajalec prilagajanja odjema lahko po končanem obdobju dobave na trgih z električno energijo ponovno prodaja zmogljivost, ki ustreza nadzorljivemu bremenu.
A demand response operator may resume selling the capacity corresponding to the controllable load on the electricity markets once the delivery period is finished.
Komisija je glede drugih zahtev, ki veljajo za izvajalce prilagajanja odjema, izrazila pomisleke v sklepu o začetku postopka, podrobno pa bodo obravnavani v oddelkih 3.2.2 in 7.3.3 tega sklepa.
Other requirements applicable to demand response operators have been the subject of concerns expressed by the Commission in the Opening Decision and will be discussed in detail in Sections 3.2.2 and 7.3.3 of this Decision.
Ponudniki zmogljivosti morajo biti operaterjem prenosnih sistemov na voljo med celotnim trajanjem pogodbe, tj. dve leti.
Capacity providers must be at the disposal of the TSOs throughout the entire contract, that is to say, for two years.
Prav tako morajo v tem celotnem obdobju izpolnjevati merila za upravičenost.
They must also continue to fulfil the eligibility criteria throughout the contract.
Vendar so dovoljena obdobja vzdrževanja, ki so nujna iz tehničnih razlogov in ki jih je treba operaterjem prenosnih sistemov sporočiti pred 31. julijem leta pred letom dobave.
However, maintenance periods that are technically necessary are allowed and must be notified to the TSOs by 31 July of the year preceding the delivery year.
Taki načrtovani izklopi so dovoljeni, če obrati za rezervno zmogljivost skupno niso na voljo največ tri mesece v posameznem letu dobave.
Such scheduled outages are permitted to the extent that the capacity reserve plants are unavailable for a total of three months maximum in any delivery year.
Nenačrtovane izklope je treba operaterjem prenosnih sistemov sporočiti takoj, ko se zgodijo, razpoložljivost pa mora biti ponovno vzpostavljena v treh mesecih.
Unscheduled outages need to be reported to the TSOs as soon as they occur and availability must be restored within three months.
Operaterji prenosnih sistemov morajo izvesti preskuse delovanja vsakega obrata, preden se ta vključi v rezervno zmogljivost, da bi preverili, ali obrat izpolnjuje tehnične zahteve.
TSOs have to carry out functional tests before any installation enters the Capacity Reserve in order to verify that each installation meets the technical requirements.
Poleg tega poskusno zahtevajo rezervno zmogljivost, ne da bi o tem vnaprej obvestili sodelujoče ponudnike zmogljivosti.
Furthermore, the TSOs shall apply trial calls of the Capacity Reserve without notifying the participating capacity providers in advance.
Ti preskusi se izvedejo s polno rezervno proizvodnjo obratov za 12-urno obdobje.
These tests will be conducted with the full reserve output of the installations, for a period of 12 hours.
Kadar preskus pokaže, da objekt ne izpolnjuje zahtev, je treba plačati kazen v višini 20 % celotnega fiksnega nadomestila.
Where the test demonstrates that an installation does not meet the requirements, a penalty of 20 % of the total fixed remuneration for the entire delivery period is due.
Če je objekt sposoben popraviti ugotovljene napake v šestih mesecih, se kazen izračuna sorazmerno glede na čas, ko elektrarna ni bila na voljo v rezervi (tj. ena šestina zneska za vsak mesec).
If the capacity provider is able to repair the identified failures within six months, the penalty is calculated pro rata the time the installation was not available to the Reserve (that is to say, one sixth of the amount for each month).
Če elektrarna zahteve izpolnjuje le z delom rezervne proizvodnje, se kazen nanaša le na del, ki ni na voljo.
If the installation meets the requirements only with a portion of the reserve output, then the penalty relates to the unavailable portion only.
Velikost rezerve bo temeljila na rezultatu spremenjene presoje ustreznosti, ki je podrobneje opisana v uvodnih izjavah 84 in 85.
The size of the Capacity Reserve will be based on the outcome of a revised adequacy assessment, which is described in more detail in recitals 84 and 85.
Nemčija je v času sklepa o začetku postopka nameravala naročiti točno 2 GW zmogljivosti za prvo dveletno obdobje dobave, za naslednja obdobja dobave pa načeloma prav tako 2 GW, razen če bi bila iz presoje ustreznosti razvidna drugačna potreba, in sicer do največ 5 % konične obremenitve.
At the time of the Opening Decision, Germany intended to procure exactly 2 GW of capacity for the first two-year delivery period and, for the subsequent delivery periods, in principle again 2 GW unless an adequacy assessment would indicate a different need up to a maximum of 5 % of peak demand.
Nemčija se je zdaj zavezala, da bo od prvega razpisa uporabljala spremenjeno presojo ustreznosti in na tej podlagi določila potrebno količino, vsekakor pa bo velikost rezerve v vseh treh obdobjih dobave omejila na največ 2 GW.
Germany has now committed to apply a revised adequacy assessment as of the first auction and define the required volume on this basis and, in any event, limit the maximum size of the reserve to 2 GW in all three delivery periods.
Če bi bilo iz spremenjene presoje ustreznosti razvidno, da je potrebnih več kot 2 GW, in če bi zaradi tega Nemčija nameravala velikost rezerve povečati nad 2 GW, bi morala tako povečanje priglasiti Komisiji za presojo na podlagi pravil o državni pomoči.
If the revised adequacy assessment demonstrates a need higher than 2 GW, and if as a result Germany intends to increase the size of the reserve beyond 2 GW, it would have to notify such an increase to the Commission for assessment under State aid rules.
Rezervna zmogljivost se dispečira, kadar se trg ne uravnovesi, tj. kadar ni zadostne ponudbe za izpolnitev celotnega povpraševanja.
The Capacity Reserve is dispatched when the market does not clear, that is to say, when there is insufficient supply to meet demand.
Za trg se šteje, da ni uravnovešen, kadar ponudbe po tehnični omejitvi cen, ki je v Nemčiji trenutno 3000 EUR/MWh za trg za dan vnaprej in 10000 EUR/MWh za trg znotraj dneva, na borzah električne energije na trgu za dan vnaprej ali trgu znotraj dneva (na otvoritveni dražbi, ki se izvede takoj po koncu trgovanja na trgu za dan vnaprej, ali med neprekinjenim trgovanjem čez dan) niso v celoti izpolnjene v eni uri s ponudbami za proizvodnjo.
The market is deemed not to have cleared when, at the electricity exchanges, on the day-ahead or on the intraday market (at the last auction of the previous day, at the opening auction of the intraday market or during the continuous intraday trading throughout the day) bids at the technical price limit, which in Germany is currently EUR 3000/MWh for the day-ahead market and EUR 10000/MWh for the intraday market, are not fully met within one hour by offers to generate.
Operaterji prenosnih sistemov lahko rezervno zmogljivost dispečirajo le v skrajni sili, tako da se lahko uporabi šele, ko so izčrpane vse druge sistemske storitve.
TSOs can dispatch the Capacity Reserve as a last resort only so that it can only be used after all other system services have been exhausted.
Dejstvo, da je aktivacijski čas obratov v rezervni zmogljivosti največ 12 ur, pomeni, da morajo operaterji prenosnih sistemov te obrate aktivirati, preden so znani rezultati na trgih ter torej preden so prepričani, da trg morda ne bo uravnovešen.
The fact that the installations in the Capacity Reserve have an activation time of up to 12 hours means that the TSOs have to call upon these installations well before the outcomes of the markets are known and hence before they are sure that a market clearance may not take place.
V odloku o rezervni zmogljivosti je zato predpisano, da morajo operaterji prenosnih sistemov pri aktivaciji rezerve oceniti čase zagona in jih upoštevati.
The Ordinance therefore prescribes that TSOs have to make an assessment of the start-up times and take these into account when activating the Reserve.
Elektrarne v rezervi med aktivacijskim časom in pred dejanskim dispečiranjem rezervne zmogljivosti v omrežje oddajajo majhne količine električne energije.
During the activation time and before the actual dispatch of the Capacity Reserve, the plants in the reserve inject small quantities of warming energy in the grid.
Odlok o rezervni zmogljivosti določa, da operaterji prenosnih sistemov količino iz obstoječih objektov zmanjšajo na količino, ki jo dovajajo rezervne elektrarne, in s tem zagotovijo, da ta dodatno dovajana energija ne izkrivlja delovanja trga znotraj dneva.
The Ordinance provides that the TSOs must call on other operators to ramp down existing facilities to an amount equivalent to that supplied by the reserve plants in order to ensure this warming energy does not distort intraday market functioning.
Odlok določa tudi, da operaterji prenosnih sistemov načeloma aktivirajo vse obrate.
The Ordinance also provides that in principle the TSOs activate all installations.
Če pa lahko operaterji prenosnih sistemov ponovno vzpostavijo ravnovesje med povpraševanjem in ponudbo z aktiviranjem le dela zmogljivosti v rezervi, lahko izberejo le tiste ponudnike, ki so za to najprimernejši.
However, should the TSOs be able to restore the demand/supply balance by activating a portion of the capacity in the Reserve only, the TSOs can select only those installations that are most suitable to do so.
Proračun
Budget
Za rezervno zmogljivost ni fiksnega proračuna, saj so njeni stroški precej odvisni od rezultatov prvotnega razpisa.
There is no fixed budget for the Capacity Reserve, because its costs depend to a large extent on the results of the initial tender.
Najvišja ponudba, ki jo lahko ponudniki zmogljivosti predložijo na razpisu, je 100000 EUR/MW letno.
The maximum bid that capacity providers can submit in the tender is EUR 100000/MW per year.
Zato so lahko najvišji fiksni stroški rezervne zmogljivosti v višini 2 GW 200 milijonov EUR letno.
Therefore, the maximum fixed costs of a 2 GW Capacity Reserve would be EUR 200 million per year.
Vendar nemški organi pričakujejo, da na razpisu ne bo dosežena najvišja cena, saj se lahko stroški znižajo zaradi različnih dejavnikov, kot so na primer dejstva, da bodo sodelovale razmeroma stare elektrarne, tj. elektrarne, ki so že amortizirale vse svoje naložbe ali njihov del, da lahko sodelujejo izvajalci prilagajanja odjema in da lahko sodelujejo elektrarne, ki so pred tem izrazile svojo namero glede prenehanja obratovanja.
The German authorities, however, expect the auction not to clear at the maximum price, because there are various factors that may dampen the costs, such as the fact that relatively old plants will participate, namely, plants that have part or all of their investments already amortised, that demand response operators can participate and that plants that previously signalled their intention to close down can participate.
Mehanizem financiranja
Financing mechanism
Operaterji prenosnih sistemov si lahko vse stroške, ki jih imajo zaradi rezervne zmogljivosti, povrnejo prek omrežnin na podlagi člena 13e(3) in (4) energetskega zakona.
TSOs can recover all their costs caused by the Capacity Reserve through the network tariffs on the basis of Article 13e(3) and (4) EnWG.
Operaterji prenosnih sistemov morajo od svojih stroškov odšteti prihodke, ki jih dobijo iz rezervne zmogljivosti, tj. z denarnimi kaznimi ali plačili za odstopanje od strank, odgovornih za izravnavo, ki so bile v času dispečiranja rezervne zmogljivosti v neravnovesju.
TSOs are to subtract from their costs the revenues received from the Capacity Reserve, that is to say, through penalty payments or imbalance payments from balancing responsible parties that were out of balance at the time the Capacity Reserve was dispatched.
Nemški organi opozarjajo, da operaterjem prenosnih sistemov ni treba predložiti svojih stroškov za povračilo regulativnemu organu, če pa se za to odločijo, se bodo stroški šteli za stroške, na katere operaterji prenosnih sistemov ne morejo vplivati za reguliranje tarif in ki se lahko povrnejo z omrežnino.
The German authorities noted that TSOs are not obliged to submit their costs for reimbursement to the regulatory authority, but if they choose to do so the costs will be regarded as costs which cannot be influenced by the TSO for the purpose of tariff regulation and may be recovered through the network tariff.
Ureditev, ki se uporablja za stroške rezervne zmogljivosti, je običajna ureditev, ki se uporablja tudi za druge elemente omrežnine.
The regime applied to the costs of the Capacity Reserve is the normal regime that also applies to other components of the network tariff.
Trajanje
Duration
Odlok o rezervni zmogljivosti ne vključuje končnega datuma.
TSOs will organise tenders for delivery of two years, starting with a tender in 2018 for a delivery period from October 2019 to September 2021.
Upravičenci
After that, every two years a new tender is organised and a (potentially adjusted) amount of capacity is procured for a delivery period of two years.
Upravičenci sheme so tisti ponudniki zmogljivosti, ki so uspešni na javnem razpisu in pridobijo pogodbo za rezervno zmogljivost.
The German authorities have indicated that the aid scheme will end once it has been established on the basis of the assessment of the required size of the Capacity Reserve that there is no longer a need to maintain a reserve.
RAZLOGI ZA ZAČETEK POSTOPKA
Beneficiaries
Komisija je 7. aprila 2017 v zvezi s shemo pomoči začela postopek iz člena 108(2) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
The beneficiaries of the scheme are those capacity providers that are successful in the procurement auction and acquire a capacity reserve contract.
Kot je navedeno v sklepu o začetku postopka, je Komisija:
GROUNDS FOR INITIATING THE PROCEDURE
predhodno menila, da shema ne pomeni nadomestila za storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, ki bi izpolnjevalo pogoje iz sodbe v zadevi Altmark, temveč da pomeni državo pomoč v skladu s členom 107(1) Pogodbe;
On 7 April 2017, the Commission initiated the procedure laid down in Article 108(2) of the Treaty in respect of the aid scheme.
dvomila o združljivosti sheme z notranjim trgom, saj so obstajali pomisleki, da ni izpolnjenih več zahtev glede združljivosti, zlasti glede potrebe po posredovanju države, ustreznosti sheme, njene sorazmernosti ter tveganja neupravičenih negativnih učinkov na konkurenco in trgovino med državami članicami.
As stated in its Opening Decision, the Commission:
Razlogi za začetek postopka: obstoj pomoči
considered on a preliminary basis that the scheme did not constitute compensation for a service of general economic interest (‘SGEI’) that would fulfil the conditions laid down in the Altmark judgment but that the scheme constituted State aid pursuant to Article 107(1) of the Treaty;
Da bi bil ukrep opredeljen kot državna pomoč v skladu s členom 107(1) Pogodbe, morajo biti kumulativno izpolnjeni vsi naslednji pogoji:
had doubts that the aid scheme was compatible with the internal market because there were concerns that several compatibility requirements were not fulfilled, in particular regarding the need for State intervention, the appropriateness of the scheme, its proportionality and the risk of undue negative effects on competition and trade between Member States.
ukrep mora biti financiran iz državnih sredstev in pripisljiv državi;
Grounds for initiating the procedure: existence of aid
ukrep mora dajati prednost posameznim podjetjem ali proizvodnji posameznega blaga;
According to Article 107(1) of the Treaty, the qualification of a measure as State aid requires the following conditions to be met cumulatively:
ukrep mora izkrivljati ali biti sposoben izkrivljati konkurenco in
the measure must be financed through State resources and be imputable to the State;
ukrep mora biti sposoben vplivati na trgovino med državami članicami.
it must grant an advantage liable to favour certain undertakings or the production of certain goods;
Nemški organi so v svojem obvestilu trdili, da rezervna zmogljivost ne izpolnjuje teh meril in zato ne pomeni državne pomoči.
the measure must distort or threaten to distort competition; and
Prvič, menijo, da se shema pomoči ne financira iz državnih sredstev.
the measure must have the potential to affect trade between Member States.
Drugič, operaterji ne bi imeli nobene prednosti, ker je treba zanje šteti, da opravljajo storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, nadomestilo za to storitev pa izpolnjuje vse štiri pogoje, ki jih je Sodišče določilo v sodbi v zadevi Altmark.
In their notification, the German authorities argued that the Capacity Reserve does not fulfil these criteria and thus does not constitute State aid.
Tretjič, shema ne bi vplivala na trgovino med državami članicami.
First, they consider that the aid scheme is not financed from State resources.
Prvič, Komisija je predhodno sklenila, da shema pomoči vključuje državna sredstva in jo je mogoče pripisati državi.
