  • 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.

  • Dansk Energi Brev
    To: Energinet Astrid Buhr Broge [email protected] [email protected] Dok. ansvarlig: CAC Sekretær: Sagsnr: s2013-388 Doknr: d2021-22033-1.0 30. august 2021 Energinet consultation on the methodology for procurement of counter- trade energy Dansk Energi welcomes Energinet’s consultation on the methodology for procurement of so-called countertrade energy. Energinet has highlighted several issues driving the proposed methodology over the past year. However, the central task of a TSO is not to arrange a border specific market setup according to cli- mate effects or according to the costs of specific market dispatches. The central task of a TSO is to facilitate markets that provides correct price and investments signals in compliance with EU-regulation. Energinet’s proposed methodology seeks to address an internal German issue – lack of capacity in TenneT’s transmission grid – which has previously resulted in heavy reduction of capacity on the Dan- ish-German border. While this was solved with the Joint Declaration and Tennet Commitments in 2017-2018, Energinet’s proposed methodology rolls back these advances. The proposed methodology will sustain a distorted day-ahead market price formation in Denmark, an intraday market in DK1 with no export capacity towards Germany and an intraday market in Denmark where Energinet directly or through a third party is by far the largest market participant. These are not efficient elements in a well-functioning wholesale market and Dansk Energi does not consider it compliant with EU-regulation, nor do we consider it a proportional solution to address the internal German grid congestion. At this stage, Dansk Energi would like to highlight the following concerns and objections: 1.

    Annual Market Update 2020 Electricity market insights 7 April 2021 Introduction Introduction Annual Market Update 2020, an electricity market review focused on the Netherlands and Germany, including wider European trends Main findings This Annual Market Update (AMU) is focussed on relevant developments on the Central Western European electricity markets, and the Dutch and German electricity markets in particular. This is the third edition of the Wholesale market prices TenneT Annual Market Update. Previous editions of the AMU and its predecessor the TenneT Market Review can be found here. Fuel prices & The developments in the Annual Market Update are structured alongside several main topics: generators • The chapter Wholesale market prices discusses wholesale day-ahead and identifies price trends. • As our electricity system is still highly dependent on fossil-fuelled power, the chapter Fuel prices describes Capacity & developments in hard coal, natural gas and emission allowance prices, as well as the margins for generators. generation • The chapter Capacity & generation focuses on the supply side of the electricity system and discusses developments in installed capacity and generation. RES support • Support for renewables in the Dutch and German system are discussed in the chapter RES support schemes, schemes by looking at budget distribution, awarded capacity and generation in the subsidy schemes. • In the chapter Wholesale market integration the storyline zooms out and includes the interactions of the Dutch Wholesale market and German electricity system with neighbouring systems. Additionally, the ongoing efforts of coupling EU integration electricity markets are discussed in this chapter. • The last two chapters focus on mechanisms in place to ensure the stability and functioning of the electricity system for both the Netherlands and Germany: Balancing measures, to ensure supply and demand is equal at Balancing all times; and redispatch measures, to resolve congestion in the grid.
