According to a majority of respondents to the consultation, the aid scheme as such was needed.
Nasprotno pa so tisti sodelujoči, ki so dvomili o potrebnosti rezerve, poudarili potrebo po opredelitvi standarda zanesljivosti in kazalnika gospodarskega pomena, ki ga prinaša rezerva, da bi se lahko preverila potrebnost rezerve.
They explained that a strategic reserve would provide an insurance against the risks associated with the ongoing transition of the electricity market in Germany, in particular the nuclear power phase-out, the significant increase of renewable energy and the uncertainty regarding the extent of the exit of conventional plants.
Pripombe glede razumnega najslabšega možnega scenarija
While some respondents favourable to the introduction of a Reserve underlined the great uncertainty around future market developments and thus the difficulty to quantify the required size, most of them did not expressly comment on the appropriateness of the size of the Reserve.
Le nekaj udeležencev na trgu je izrazilo posebne pripombe glede razumnosti predpostavk, na katerih temelji scenarij, ki ga je Nemčija proučila, da bi utemeljila ukrep.
On the contrary, those participants that doubted the necessity of the Reserve underlined the need to define a reliability standard and an indicator of the economic value brought by the Reserve in order to be able to verify the necessity of the Reserve.
Trije sodelujoči so izrecno navedli, da se zdi predpostavka glede morebitne goljufije nerazumna.
Comments on the reasonable worst case scenario
Pripombe glede trajanja sheme
Only few market participants expressed specific observations with regard to the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying the scenario considered by Germany to justify the measure.
Večina sodelujočih, ki je predložila pripombe glede trajanja sheme, je navedla, da bi morala biti rezerva začasna.
Three respondents specifically mentioned that the assumption with regard to potential fraud appeared to be unreasonable.
Pojasnili so, da je postopno opuščanje potrebno in da bi se moralo bodisi izvesti na vnaprej določen datum bodisi temeljiti na vnaprej določenih kazalnikih, ki bi ovrednotili potrebnost rezerve.
Comments on the duration of the scheme
Pripombe glede ustreznosti sheme
Most respondents who provided observations regarding the duration of the scheme indicated that the Reserve should be temporary.
Pripombe glede alternativnih ukrepov
They explained that a phase-out was necessary and should either occur at a certain predefined date or be based on predefined indicators evaluating the necessity of the Reserve.
Večina sodelujočih v posvetovanju je navedla, da je strateška rezerva ustrezen ukrep za obravnavanje tveganj, s katerimi se srečuje nemški trg z električno energijo.
Comments on the appropriateness of the scheme
Rezerva bi bila namreč razmeroma majhna v primerjavi s konično obremenitvijo v Nemčiji, zasnovana je bila za zmanjšanje učinka na trg z električno energijo, aktivirala naj bi se le v izjemnih okoliščinah, zlahka bi jo bilo postopno opustiti, ko ne bi bila več potrebna, v nasprotju z mehanizmi električne zmogljivosti na ravni celotnega trga pa bi ugodno vplivala na razvoj energije iz obnovljivih virov, saj bi se preprečila vezanost na konvencionalne elektrarne in njihovo subvencioniranje.
Comments on alternative measures
Vendar je manjšina sodelujočih navedla, da bi bil mehanizem električne zmogljivosti na ravni celotnega trga ustreznejši ukrep, ker bi udeležencem na trgu zagotovil večjo varnost ter s tem dal prednost zgodnjim naložbam in znižal stroške kapitala, ki so potrebni za naložbe.
A majority of respondents to the consultation indicated that a strategic reserve was an appropriate measure to deal with the risks that the German electricity market was facing.
Pripombe glede nadomestila le za razpoložljivost
This was because the Reserve would be relatively small in comparison to the peak demand in Germany, it was designed to minimise the impact on the electricity market, it was meant to be activated only in exceptional circumstances, it could easily be phased out once it was no longer needed, and it was favourable to the development of renewable energy by avoiding to subsidise and lock in conventional plants contrary to market-wide capacity mechanisms.
Kar zadeva strukturo nadomestila, so bile pripombe, ki jih je prejela Komisija, precej različne.
A minority of respondents however indicated that a market-wide capacity mechanism would be a more appropriate measure, as it would give more certainty to market participants and thus favour early investments and reduce the cost of capital required to invest.
Dva udeleženca na trgu sta navedla, da bi bilo treba v postopek izbora vključiti spremenljive stroške.
Comments on remuneration of availability only
Drugi sodelujoči je poudaril, da bi bilo treba spremenljive stroške povrniti, saj to ne bi izkrivljalo delovanja trga, ker rezerva ni vključena v trg.
With regard to the remuneration structure, the observations received by the Commission were relatively mixed.
Po mnenju operaterjev prenosnih sistemov bi se lahko, če bi se v razpis vključili stroški, kot so tisti za zanesljivost oskrbe z gorivom, olajšala primerjava različnih ponudb, lahko pa bi se tudi zvišalo fiksno plačilo in morda bi bila potrebna ocena števila in trajanja razpisov na podlagi posebnih scenarijev.
Two market participants indicated that variable costs should be included in the selection process.
Eden od sodelujočih je tudi navedel, da bi lahko bila zahteva po zagotavljanju oskrbe z gorivom zelo draga, zlasti za plinske elektrarne.
Another respondent underlined that variable costs should be reimbursed since this would not distort the market functioning as the Reserve was outside the market.
Dejansko naročanje goriva, zlasti rezervacija prenosnih zmogljivosti za plin, se ne bi smelo izvesti pred dodelitvijo javnih naročil ponudnikom, da ne bi imeli nepovratnih stroškov, če njihova ponudba ne bi bila izbrana.
The TSOs indicated that including costs, such as the cost for securing fuel supply, in the auction would facilitate the comparison of the different offers, but would risk increasing the fixed payment and might require estimating the number and duration of calls on the basis of specific scenarios.
Pripombe glede odprtosti in pravil za upravičenost
Another respondent also indicated that the requirement to secure fuel could be very expensive for gas power plants in particular.
Odprtost za vse izvajalce prilagajanja odjema
The actual procurement of fuel – in particular reservation of gas transmission capacities – should not occur before the contracts would be awarded to the tenderers in order not to make them incur sunk costs in case their bid would not be retained.
Večina pripomb, ki jih je Komisija prejela v zvezi z ustreznostjo sheme, je bila povezana z odprtostjo in pravili za upravičenost rezerve.
Comments on the openness and the eligibility rules
Kar zadeva omejevalna merila za upravičenost, ki bi dejansko izključila prilagajanje odjema, je Komisija prejela različne odzive.
Openness to all demand response operators
Manjša večina sodelujočih je navedla, da ni razloga za izključitev prilagajanja odjema iz sodelovanja v razpisu, saj bi lahko prilagajanje odjema zagotavljalo koristne rezervne storitve, shema pa bi morala biti tehnološko nevtralna.
Most comments received by the Commission with regard to the appropriateness of the scheme were related to the openness and the eligibility rules of the Reserve.
Več udeležencev je poudarilo obstoj ovir za dejansko sodelovanje izvajalcev prilagajanja odjema, in sicer v skladu z naslednjimi vprašanji, ki jih je Komisija opredelila v sklepu o začetku postopka:
As regards the restrictive eligibility criteria that would have de facto excluded demand response, the Commission received mixed responses.
visoka najnižja višina ponudbe;
A slight majority of respondents indicated that there was no reason to exclude demand response from participating in the tender, as demand response could provide valuable reserve services and the scheme should be technology neutral.
zahteva po priključitvi na napetost 110 kV ali več;
Several participants underlined the existence of barriers for demand response operators to effectively participate, in line with the following issues identified by the Commission in its Opening Decision:
nezmožnost združitve obremenitev;
high minimum bid size,
nevračilo oportunitetnih stroškov;
requirement to be connected to a transmission grid with a voltage of 110 kV or above,
zelo veliko število preskusov;
impossibility of aggregating loads,
zahteva za nakup električne energije za celotno trajanje pogodbe;
no reimbursement of opportunity costs,
najdaljše trajanje dispečiranja in obdobja nedostopnosti ni določeno ter
very high number of tests,
izvajalci prilagajanja odjema nimajo možnosti vrnitve na trg, njihov vzorec porabe pa se lahko sčasoma spremeni.
requirement to purchase electricity for the whole duration of the contract,
Čezmejno sodelovanje
absence of maximum dispatch duration and of unavailability periods, and
Nekateri sodelujoči so menili, da bi morale načeloma imeti možnost sodelovanja v rezervi vse morebitne zmogljivosti, večina sodelujočih pa čezmejnemu sodelovanju v rezervi ni bila naklonjena.
no possibility for demand response operators of returning to the market, while their consumption pattern may evolve over time.
Po njihovem mnenju bi bilo treba tuje zmogljivosti izčrpati pred dispečiranjem rezerve in se jih ne bi smelo rezervirati kot rešitev v skrajnem primeru, kot je rezervna zmogljivost.
Cross-border participation
Omogočanje zunanjim zmogljivostim, da sodelujejo v rezervi, lahko zato vodi do neustreznih spodbud.
While some respondents considered that all potential capacity providers should be able to participate in the Reserve as a matter of principle, a majority of the respondents was not favourable to cross-border participation in the Reserve.
Poleg tega bi bilo treba, da bi se bilo mogoče zanesti na tuje zmogljivosti, rezervirati zmogljivosti povezave, zaradi česar bi se zmanjšala razpoložljiva zmogljivost v času, ko se rezerva še ne bi dispečirala, to pa bi negativno vplivalo na čezmejno trgovino.
They considered that foreign capacities should be exhausted before the Reserve was dispatched and should not be booked as a last resort solution, such as the Capacity Reserve.
Pripombe glede izogibanja neupravičenim negativnim učinkom na konkurenco in trgovino
Allowing foreign capacities to participate in the Reserve may thus lead to inappropriate incentives.
Komisija je prejela nekaj pripomb glede potrebe po opredelitvi vrednosti nezadostnega napajanja, uporabi te vrednosti kot zgornje meje cen znotraj dne in določitvi stroškov izravnave.
In addition, in order to rely on foreign capacities, it would require reserving interconnection capacities which would reduce the amount of capacity available when the Reserve would not yet be dispatched and negatively impact cross-border trade.
Vendar so bili odzivi glede tega različni.
Comments on the avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade
Nekateri sodelujoči so poudarili, da bi bilo treba opredeliti vrednost nezadostnega napajanja ter to oceno pripravljenosti potrošnikov, da plačajo za zanesljivost oskrbe, uvesti v zasnovo trga.
The Commission received a few comments on the need to define VOLL and to use this value as the intraday price cap and to determine the imbalance charge.
Drugi udeleženci na trgu pa so poudarili dejstvo, da bi visoki stroški izravnave, kot so trenutno opredeljeni v predlagani zasnovi, udeležence na trgu spodbudili k uravnoteženju ne glede na dejansko raven vrednosti nezadostnega napajanja.
Responses were however mixed on this point.
PRIPOMBE NEMČIJE
Some respondents underlined the need to define VOLL and introduce in the market design this estimation of consumers' willingness to pay for security of supply.
V tem oddelku so povzete pripombe Nemčije z dne 17. maja 2017 (oddelek 5.1) in 14. julija 2017 (oddelek 5.2).
Other market participants, however, underlined the fact that a high imbalance charge as currently defined in the proposed design would incentivise market participants to be balanced irrespective of the actual level of VOLL.
Nemčija je te pripombe predložila pred zavezami, opisanimi v oddelku 6.
COMMENTS FROM GERMANY
Pripombe glede sklepa o začetku postopka
This section summarises the comments received from Germany on 17 May 2017 (in Section 0) and on 14 July 2017 (in Section 0).
Nemčija se je z dopisom z dne 17. maja 2017 odzvala na sklep Komisije o začetku postopka.
Germany provided these observations before making the commitments described in Section 6.
Predložitev Nemčije je sestavljena iz dveh delov, in sicer so v prvem delu opisani splošni cilji Nemčije in Komisije v zvezi s trgi z električno energijo in način, kako se rezervna zmogljivost ujema s temi cilji.
Observations on the Opening Decision
V drugem delu pa so obravnavani konkretni pomisleki, ki jih je Komisija izrazila glede skladnosti predlagane sheme s pravili o državni pomoči.
On 17 May 2017, Germany reacted by letter to the Commission's Opening Decision.
V tem oddelku je povzet drugi del predložitve Nemčije, ki je neposredno povezan s postopkom, ki ga je Komisija začela v skladu s členom 108(2) Pogodbe.
Germany's submission consists of two parts.
Nemčija je na splošno menila, da je rezervna zmogljivost majhen, vendar učinkovit ukrep, ki spremlja trenutni energetski prehod v Nemčiji.
The first part describes the common goals of Germany and the Commission with regard to the internal market in electricity and how the Capacity Reserve fits with these objectives.
Poudarila je, da ukrep ne vpliva na delovanje trga.
The second part addresses the concrete concerns raised by the Commission with regard to the compliance of the proposed scheme with State aid rules.
Pojasnila je tudi, da točni in matematični izračun velikosti rezerve ni mogoč.
This Section summarises the second part of Germany's submission, which is directly related to the procedure initiated by the Commission in accordance with Article 108(2) of the Treaty.
Pripombe glede potrebnosti
In general terms, Germany considers that the Capacity Reserve is a small but efficient measure to accompany the ongoing energy transition process in Germany.
Glede potrebnosti je v nemški predložitvi poudarjeno, da je rezervna zmogljivost v nasprotju z mehanizmom električne zmogljivosti na ravni celotnega trga zasnovana za obravnavanje izjemnih okoliščin, ki nastanejo le v primeru razvoja razumnega najslabšega možnega scenarija.
It stresses that the measure leaves market functioning intact.
Pripisovanje verjetnosti razvoju najslabšega možnega scenarija ali predpostavkam, na katerih ta scenarij temelji, je težko in praviloma manj natančno od verjetnostnega modeliranja učinkov več scenarijev, kot se uporablja za mehanizme na ravni celotnega trga.
It also explains that an exact and mathematical calculation of the size of the Reserve is not possible.
Kar zadeva predpostavko glede goljufije pri izravnavi, bo po trditvah Nemčije prihodnja zakonodaja verjetno zmanjšala verjetnost, da se ponovi velika goljufija, vendar ni mogoče popolnoma izključiti, da se goljufija pri izravnavi ne bo ponovila.
With regard to necessity, the German submission underlines that, contrary to a market-wide capacity mechanism, the Capacity Reserve is designed to address exceptional circumstances that occur only in case a reasonable worst case scenario unfolds.
Nemčija je poleg tega navedla, da nadalje razvija postopek spremljanja zanesljivosti oskrbe.
Attaching probabilities to the occurrence of a worst case scenario or to the assumptions that constitute the worst case scenario is difficult and by definition less accurate than the probabilistic modelling of the impacts of a multitude of scenarios as applied to market-wide mechanisms.
Glede trajanja ukrepa je Nemčija poudarila, da energetski zakon določa redno ponovno izračunavanje nadaljnje potrebe po rezervi in vsebuje določbo, ki dovoljuje uporabo rezervne zmogljivosti le, ko Komisija odobri ukrep kot združljiv s pravili o državni pomoči, in za tako dolgo, kot ga Komisija odobri za združljivega z navedenimi pravili.
With regard to the assumptions that make up its reasonable worst case scenario, Germany explains that the assumption that 10 GW of conventional generation capacity will exit the market by 2020 is a conservative estimate.
Pripombe glede ustreznosti
It illustrates this by demonstrating that between 2013 and 2015 the adequacy forecast of the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (‘ENTSO-E’) corrected downwards its availability assumptions for conventional generation for the year 2020 from – 35 GW to – 41 GW.
Kar zadeva spremenljive stroške, je Nemčija pojasnila, da je razlog za ločeno nadomestilo stroškov za zagotavljanje zanesljivosti oskrbe z gorivom enaka obravnava elektrarn v omrežni rezervi in tistih zunaj nje.
Regarding the balancing fraud assumption, Germany indicates that future legislation is likely to reduce the probability of large scale fraud re-occurring, but that it cannot be fully excluded that balancing fraud will not happen again.
Elektrarne v omrežni rezervi so morda te stroške že imele povrnjene in imajo zato prednost v primerjavi z drugimi udeleženci.
With regard to the Commission's concerns about the absence of a cost-benefit analysis underpinning the economic efficiency of the Reserve, Germany explains that it is difficult to calculate the benefits of the Reserve given that its function is to address unforeseen circumstances of which it is unknown what they are and how often they will occur.
Nemčija je pojasnila tudi, da pričakuje, da bodo spremenljivi stroški nizki v primerjavi s fiksnimi stroški ohranjanja operativnosti in razpoložljivosti obrata.
Germany furthermore indicates that it is developing its security of supply monitoring process further.
Kar zadeva sodelovanje prilagajanja odjema, je Nemčija pojasnila, da upoštevanje načela strogega ločevanja med trgom in rezervo pomeni, da prilagajanju odjema ne bi smelo biti dovoljeno sodelovati v rezervni zmogljivosti, temveč bi moral biti namesto tega v celoti na voljo trgu.
With regard to the duration of the measure, Germany underlines that the EnWG provides for regular recalculation of the continued need of the Reserve and contains a provision that allows the Capacity Reserve to be applied only when and for as long as the Commission has approved the measure as compatible with State aid rules.
Kar zadeva čezmejno sodelovanje, je Nemčija ugovarjala stališču Komisije v sklepu o začetku postopka, da bi bilo treba dovoliti čezmejno sodelovanje.
Observations on appropriateness
Poudarila je, da koncepta zmanjšanja zmogljivosti, kot ga je Komisija predlagala v uvodni izjavi 146 sklepa o začetku postopka, trenutno ni mogoče uporabiti za strateške rezerve, ki se aktivirajo šele, ko se izčrpajo vsi viri na tržni osnovi.
With regards to variable costs, Germany explains that the reason for a separate remuneration of the costs to ensure a secure fuel supply is the equal treatment of plants in the Network Reserve and those outside the Network Reserve.
To je zlasti zaradi dejstva, da se tokovi, ki potekajo skozi te povezovalne daljnovode, določijo z uporabo algoritma za spajanje trgov in torej Nemčija ne vpliva nanje.
Plants in the Network Reserve may already have had these costs reimbursed and thus have an advantage compared to other participants.
Pripombe glede učinka na konkurenco in trgovino
Germany furthermore explains that it expects variable costs to be low compared to the fixed costs of maintaining the installation operational and available.
Nemčija se je strinjala s pripombo Komisije, da bi bilo treba stranke, odgovorne za izravnavo, spodbuditi k temu, da vedno ohranjajo svoje položaje v ravnovesju in da zanje nikoli ne bi smelo biti finančno ugodno, da se za ponovno vzpostavitev svojega ravnovesja zanašajo na operaterje prenosnih sistemov.
With regards to the participation of demand response, Germany explains that respecting the principle of a strict separation between the market and the Capacity Reserve implies that demand response should not be allowed to participate in the Capacity Reserve but should instead be fully at the disposal of the market.
Pojasnila je, da so zaradi tega stroški izravnave v času aktivacije rezervne zmogljivosti določeni na dvakratni vrednosti tehnične omejitve cen na trgu znotraj dneva.
With regard to cross-border participation, Germany objects to the Commission's position in the Opening Decision to allow cross-border participation.
Odgovor Nemčije na pripombe zainteresiranih strani
It stresses that the de-rating concept as put forward by the Commission in recital 146 of the Opening Decision can at present not be applied to strategic reserves that are only activated after all market-based resources have been exhausted.
Nemčija je 14. julija 2017 odgovorila na pripombe zainteresiranih strani, kot jih je posredovala Komisija.
This is, in particular, due to the fact that electricity flows through interconnectors are determined by the application of the market coupling algorithm and are therefore not influenced by Germany.
Svoj odgovor je razdelila na splošne pripombe ter pripombe v zvezi s potrebnostjo sheme, njenimi pravili za upravičenost in njeno odprtostjo za tuje zmogljivosti.
Observations on the impacts on competition and trade
Splošne pripombe
Germany shares the Commission's observation that balancing responsible parties should be incentivised to keep their positions balanced at all times and that it should never be financially beneficial for them to rely on the TSO to restore their imbalance.
Nemčija je na splošno ugotovila, da so pripombe glede sheme in njene zasnove na splošno pozitivno naravnane, pri čemer je opozorila na zelo majhno število sodelujočih, ki shemi nasprotujejo v celoti.
Germany explains that it is against this background that imbalance charges at the time of the activation of the Capacity Reserve are set at the double of the technical price cap of the intraday market.
Pripombe glede potrebnosti rezerve
Germany's reaction to the comments of the interested parties
Nemčija je opozorila na večino sodelujočih, po mnenju katerih je rezervna zmogljivost koristen instrument zavarovanja med energetskim prehodom, ki poteka v Nemčiji.
On 14 July 2017, Germany reacted to the comments of the interested parties as forwarded by the Commission.
Poudarila je, da so le štirje od 22 sodelujočih nasprotovali izvajanju rezervne zmogljivosti, od teh štirih pa sta le dva dejansko utemeljila, zakaj bi bilo treba namesto tega uporabiti mehanizem električne zmogljivosti na ravni celotnega trga.
Germany divided its reaction in general observations, observations related to the necessity of the scheme, to its eligibility rules and to its openness to foreign capacities.
Pripombe glede upravičenosti (prilagajanje odjema in tuja zmogljivost)
General observations
Nemčija je poudarila, da so pripombe v zvezi s tem skoraj izključno povezane s sodelovanjem prilagajanja odjema.
As a general remark, Germany concludes that the overall tone of the comments is one of agreement with the scheme and its design, noting the very limited number of respondents that reject the scheme as a whole.
Njen odgovor se je nanašal na glavna vprašanja ali želje, ki so jih izrazili različni izvajalci prilagajanja odjema in združevalci.
Observations on the necessity of the scheme
Glede na to, da se je Nemčija strinjala s spremembo skoraj vseh spornih pogojev za sodelovanje prilagajanja odjema, bo to vprašanje podrobno obravnavano v oddelku 6 o zavezah Nemčije.
Germany points to the majority of respondents that see the Capacity Reserve as a useful insurance instrument during the energy transition Germany is experiencing.
Nemčija je poleg tega iz prejetih odgovorov sklepala, da se večina sodelujočih z njo strinja, da je sodelovanje tuje zmogljivosti težko izvedljivo v praksi in da glede na cilj, za katerega si prizadeva rezervna zmogljivost, in njeno zasnovo nima velike dodane vrednosti.
