  • Nordic Grid Development Plan 2012 Foreword
    Nordic Grid Development Plan 2012 Foreword The Nordic transmission system operators (TSOs) have a long history of successful cooperation within grid development. Three common Nordic grid master plans have been developed in the last ten years in the context of Nordel, the previous cooperative organization for the Nordic TSOs. Joint Nordic grid development is essential to support further development of an integrated Nordic electricity market, as well as increased capacity to other countries and integration of renewable energy sources (RES). The Nordic co-operation on grid development is now taking place within the wider regional context provided by the regional groups North Sea and Baltic Sea of ENTSO-E, the European organization for TSOs, in addition to bilateral co-operation when required. The Nordic Grid Development Plan 2012 is prepared as a response to the request from the Nordic Council of Ministers of October 25, 2010. The plan is prepared by Statnett, Svenska Kraftnät, Energinet.dk and Fingrid, and the Icelandic TSO Landsnet has provided input regarding the Icelandic grid. The plan presents the Nordic grid investment plans for the next ten years. 28.

  • 'A+' Rating Affirmed with a Stable Outlook Statnett SF
    Research Update: Statnett SF 'A+' Rating Affirmed With A Stable Outlook February 26, 2020 Rating Action Overview PRIMARY CREDIT ANALYST - The Norwegian Energy Regulatory Authority (NVE) has announced that Statnett SF receives a Daniel Annas 100% efficiency score; this leads us to expect the company will capture in full the revenue cap Stockholm of its cost base. +46 (8) 4405925 daniel.annas - We expect continued ample rating headroom as our base-case scenario stipulated FFO to debt @spglobal.com to be close to 9% on average in coming years, and debt to EBITDA on average at about 8.5x, both SECONDARY CONTACT which we consider well commensurate with the 'bbb' stand-alone credit profile (SACP). Per Karlsson - We continue to view the regulatory environment for Norwegian as supportive, despite declining Stockholm weighted average cost of capital (WACC), because we view the framework as stable and (46) 8-440-5927 predictable; the WACC estimate for 2020 is 5.47%. per.karlsson @spglobal.com - We are therefore affirming our 'A+' rating and stable outlook on Statnett. ADDITIONAL CONTACT - Statnett's positive momentum in credit ratios post-2020 are hinged on RAB increasing as Industrial Ratings Europe planned, and without cost overruns. Corporate_Admin_London @spglobal.com Rating Action Rationale The regulator has announced Statnett as 100% efficient, which supports its credit ratios. On Jan. 31, the NVE announced Statnett's revenue cap, including an updated WACC estimation, at 5.47% and confirmation of a maintained 100% efficiency score. The WACC estimate decreased 35 basis points from the actual 5.82% reported in 2019, pointing to declining free-rate risk, computed as the average five-year swap rate from the most recent calendar year.

  • Joint Messages Roundtable of European Energy Industrialists Brussels, 7 February 2013
    w JOINT MESSAGES Roundtable of European Energy Industrialists Brussels, 7 February 2013 Empowering Market and Consumers The Roundtable of European Energy Industrialists, meeting in Brussels on 7 February 2013, represents companies that will invest more than € 75 billion by 2020. Between now and 2050, the energy industry as a whole will create millions of jobs and make a considerable contribution to economic growth. Eu- rope is now preparing its next vital steps towards a green energy transformation so comprehensive, that it overshadows all previous attempts at climate change mitigation around the world. By taking global leadership in realizing a low-carbon future, Europe's investment in infrastructure may foster a recovery from the economic downturn. Above all, the Roundtable of European Energy Industrialists believes that the future is electric, and that efficient electricity markets must be crucial in implementing this transformation. We therefore support the commitment of the European Commission to complete the internal energy market without delay. In summary, better markets, stronger grids, and smarter technologies are keys to Europe's energy transformation. – 1 – w 1. Better Markets The internal market is fundamental to efficient use of resources. In the short-term electricity market integration leads to increased liquidity and transparency in wholesale markets, more competitive prices and more freedom for consumers. In the long term, well-functioning electricity markets, stable regu- latory regimes and a robust emission-trading scheme will provide the signals for efficient investments. The reality, however, is that progress to complete the internal electricity market is slow and many ener- gy companies are having to deal with significant and rapid moves back to re-regulation of the sector at national levels.

  • NORTH-SOUTH 400Kv INTERCONNECTION DEVELOPMENT
    NORTH-SOUTH 400kV INTERCONNECTION DEVELOPMENT OUTLINE AND UPDATE OF EIRGRID’S CONSIDERATION OF THE TRANSMISSION TECHNOLOGY OPTIONS AS PRESENTED TO THE INDEPENDENT EXPERT GROUP DECEMBER 2017 A European Project of Common Interest EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment has appointed an independent expert group (IEG) to examine the technical feasibility and cost of undergrounding the North-South Interconnector, taking into account the most recent developments in technology and experience gained from existing projects abroad. This report sets out EirGrid’s position on these matters. EirGrid is proposing that the proposed interconnector be implemented by means of a single circuit 400 kV overhead line. The proposed overhead line will be approximately 137 km in length (103 km in Ireland and 34 km in Northern Ireland) and will form a second high capacity tie-line between the networks of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Planning approval for the part of the proposal located in Ireland has been received from An Bord Pleanála. This report replicates and updates the evaluation of the technology options that was submitted to An Bord Pleanála by EirGrid during the planning process. EirGrid’s evaluation of the technology options was carried out in the knowledge that the proposed second North South Interconnector will be of the highest strategic importance for the island of Ireland, with a power carrying capacity equivalent to 23% of the island’s peak demand. It will form an internal reinforcement of the single ‘all-island’ network and will operate like any other transmission circuit in the meshed network. HVDC technology was considered as an option.

  • Nordlink Benefits of the Nordlink Interconnector
    NordLink Benefits of the NordLink interconnector The exchange of power enabled by NordLink will increase security of supply for the German and Norwegian grid and will allow exchange of renewable energies, especially hydroelectric power and wind power, between both countries. In addition it will give more stable electricity prices on both sides and, further on, also will facilitate Eur opean market integration. Driver of the energy transition / Integration of renewables NordLink is a cornerstone in the accomplishment of the energy transition. Since incorporation of the project in the federal national plan law (Bundesbedarfsplangesetz), the energy market necessity and urgent requirement for implementation of the project has been made statutory. The status “Project of Common Interest (PCI)” awarded by the European Union in accordance with the new guidelines for trans-European energy infrastructure underlines the high importance regarding socio-economic and energy market aspects of the project at a European level. NordLink – the “green cable” – will help to facilitate the integration of more renewable energy in Norway and in Germany. It will thus help to reduce CO2 emissions and reach climate goals. With its capacity of 1.400 megawatts, the interconnector can provide renewable energy for more than 3.6 million German households and will be able to export for example wind generated by approximately 466 wind turbines of 3 megawatts. This is comparable to the capacity of a large conventional power plant. European market integration NordLink is the first interconnector that directly connects Norwegian and German energy markets. This supports the integration of the Northwest European energy market, improves market efficiency and stabilises power prices.
