Økt Kraftutveksling Med Kontinentet Økt kraftutveksling med Kontinentet Et casestudie av politikkprosessen i Norge før tildeling av konsesjon til kraftutveksling med Tyskland og Storbritannia Kjersti Dalfest Masteroppgave i statsvitenskap Institutt for statsvitenskap UNIVERSITETET I OSLO Våren 2015 I II Økt kraftutveksling med Kontinentet Et casestudie av politikkprosessen i Norge før tildeling av konsesjon til kraftutveksling med Tyskland og Storbritannia III © Kjersti Dalfest År 2015 Tittel: Økt kraftutveksling med Kontinentet - Et casestudie av politikkprosessen i Norge før tildeling av konsesjon til kraftutveksling med Tyskland og Storbritannia Kjersti Dalfest http://www.duo.uio.no Trykk: Allkopi IV V Sammendrag Denne studien har undersøkt den politiske prosessen i Norge før det ble gitt konsesjon til mellomlandsforbindelser til Tyskland og Storbritannia. Antall forbindelser til utlandet har vært et konfliktspørsmål over lengre tid. Det har vært planer om forbindelser til Tyskland og Storbritannia siden 1990-tallet uten at de har blitt realisert. Forskningsspørsmålet her var: Hvorfor ble det gitt konsesjon nå, og hvorfor ble det søkt om konsesjon til to prosjekter? For å undersøke dette har litteratur- og dokumentanalyse blitt anvendt, i tillegg til at det har blitt gjennomført ni semi-strukturerte intervjuer med aktører som har deltatt i politikkprosessen. Representanter fra kraftbransjen, industrien, miljøorganisasjoner og Olje- og energidepartementet ble intervjuet. Studien har tatt utgangspunkt i det instrumentelle perspektivets hierarkiske variant og Advocacy Coalition Framework. Det ble funnet at politisk ledelse, ved bruk av hierarkiske virkemidler, har hatt stor grad av kontroll over beslutningsprosessen. Det ble identifisert fire påvirkningskoalisjoner med ulike syn på mellomlandsforbindelser. Eksterne hendelser og politikkorientert læring har aktualisert mellomlandsforbindelser og ført til økt politisk oppmerksomhet. Norge vedtok å innføre grønne sertifikater etter det ble klart at Fornybardirektivet var EØS-relevant, hvilket har bidratt til at Norge og Norden går mot et forventet kraftoverskudd med lave strømpriser. Det kan ha gjort det lettere for industrien å akseptere forbindelsene, i tillegg til at det har gjort det mer presserende for kraftbransjen å få et marked for kraften. Forhandlet enighet mellom Norsk Industri, Energi Norge og LO synes å ha vært en viktig faktor for at det ble to kabler. At mellomlandsforbindelser har blitt knyttet til klima kan ha styrket kraftbransjens koalisjonsressurser, ved at deler av miljøbevegelsen har fremmet kabler. VI VII Forord Arbeidet med masteroppgaven har både vært krevende og veldig lærerikt. Det har vært en spennende tid, men jeg er veldig glad for at jeg nå er i mål. Først og fremst vil jeg takke mine veiledere, Morten Egeberg og Inga Ydersbond, for gode råd og motiverende tilbakemeldinger underveis i arbeidet og spesielt mot slutten. Jeg vil også takke informantene som tok seg tid til å stille til intervju i en travel arbeidsdag. Oppgaven ville ikke blitt den samme om ikke dere hadde delt av deres kunnskap og erfaringer. Jeg ønsker også å takke Bingogjengen for godt selskap under nødvendige pauser fra lesesalen. Til slutt vil jeg takke venner og familie for støtte og oppmuntring. Takk til Petter, Odd, Bente og Åse for korrekturlesning. Eventuelle feil og mangler i oppgaven står jeg selvfølgelig ansvarlig for.

  • Integration of Electricity Markets
    Norwegian School of Economics Bergen, Autumn 2018 Integration of Electricity Markets An Analysis of TSO-Owned and Non-TSO-Owned Cross-Border Interconnectors Sofie Handal Bruvik & Sigrid Marthea Hernes Supervisor: Lassi Ahlvik Master Thesis within the profile of Economics and the profile of Energy, Natural Resources and the Environment NORWEGIAN SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS This thesis was written as a part of the Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration at NHH. Please note that neither the institution nor the examiners are responsible - through the approval of this thesis - for the theories and methods used, or results and conclusions drawn in this work. Abstract The European electricity market is gradually becoming more integrated due to increased cross- border transmission capacity. Integrated electricity markets are expected to improve social welfare through security of supply and efficient electricity generation. Thus, inadequate cross- border transmission capacity causes an inefficient allocation of resources at a regional level. The integration of electricity markets will impact electricity prices and the social welfare in the connected regions. A cross-border interconnector between the bidding zone NO5 in Norway and the market area Great Britain will exploit the different price levels and structures of the regions. The interconnector is expected to increase electricity prices in NO5 and decrease electricity prices in Great Britain. Further, the social welfare is expected to increase in both NO5 and Great Britain. This thesis estimates the annual congestion rent of a 1 400 MW interconnector between NO5 and Great Britain. The Norwegian share of the congestion rent is estimated to vary between e51,4 million and e168,4 million in the period from 2026 to 2045.

  • Paper I Will Take a Closer Look at the Interconnection of Power Systems in Norway and Germany
    Power grid interconnection in Northern Europe Yuliya Pidlisna (MSc student) Professor Tor Arnt Johnsen (supervisor) Yuliya Pidlisna MSc in International Marketing and Management BI Norwegian School of Business Oslo, Norway tlf. + 47 967 53288 email: [email protected] Introduction Before the wave of liberalisation in European energy markets the industry was characterized by legal monopolies, geographic demarcation, and vertical integration of state’s energy systems. Consequently creating single internal European energy market through synchronized work of national electricity systems requires adequate development of grid network. Building interconnection transmission lines enables energy generated from different sources, such as hydro, thermal, nuclear or wind power to be used at the best advantage. Additionally interconnectors strengthen security of supply, contribute to general higher level of competition in the industry and convergence of prices. Integration of the systems is only possible through gradual liberalization of energy markets. Liberalizing of electricity markets is on the top agenda of all EU countries. Current synchronized work of 41 TSOs from 34 countries coordinated by ENTSO-E with established wholesale electricity markets allows energy trading and opens new potential possibilities for interconnection management projects. In this paper I will take a closer look at the interconnection of power systems in Norway and Germany. Evaluation of investment in new transmission power line and its future governance structure will become focus of analysis. Furthermore in the paper are included calculations of future potential costs and benefits of the project based on price difference model. Spot hourly prices are taken based on EEX market data and NO1 (Kristiansand area) since 2005 in NOK/MWh.

  • Norbom-Prosessene”
    3. Utviklingen 1989/90–1992: ”Norbom-prosessene” Bakgrunnen Departementsråd Norbom begynte altså arbeidet med å forberede omordningen av helseforvaltningen før valget i september 1989. En viktig avklaring kom på et møte han hadde på sitt kontor med sentrale folk i departementet 12. juli det året. Det var, som det het i overskriften til referatet, et ”Møte for å se på forholdet mellom Sosialdepartementet og Helsedirektoratet”. Men før dette møtet ble holdt hadde en rekke saker, spesielt tilsynssaker, gjort at forholdet mellom Helsedirektoratet og departementet, hadde tilspisset seg. Også andre saker hadde skapt uro omkring helseforvaltningen, blant annet en del skjærmysler mellom direktoratet og SIFF, og mellom dets sjefer Torbjørn Mork og Bodolf Hareide. Også disse ”sakene” bidro til at Norbom og hans folk etter hvert fikk nok. Før vi sier mer om møtet i juli, skal vi kort omtale litt av den tilsynskrangel som utspant seg i pressen like før møtet. I juni ble det en omfattende pressedebatt om legenes lange vakter. Lederen av Stortingets sosialkomité, Gunn Vigdis Olsen-Hagen (Ap) (1946–1989) sa til Aftenposten (morgennummeret) den 14. (s. 4): ”Personlig liker jeg slett ikke tanken på at en kirurg skulle skjære i meg etter et døgn i strekk på jobben”.71 Hun ville ta saken opp med Sosialministeren. Avisen ringte medisinalråd Anne Alvik, som toet sine hender og sa at Helsedirektoratet ikke kunne blande seg inn i arbeidstidsforholdene; dem var det partene i arbeidslivet som fastsatte. Avisen prøvde så departementet og fikk snakke med nestkommanderende i helseavdelingen, avdelingsdirektør Andreas Disen. Den ellers så sindige og ”sky” avdelingsdirektør svarte at det er partene lokalt som har ansvar for vaktordningene, men går de for langt er det ”nok av regler og lover på området” til at fylkeslegene kan gripe inn.
