and Baltic Cable] 1 Background There is a general understanding that integration of electricity markets requires an efficient utilization of existing interconnectors. The regional approach as a transitional phase towards the creation of one internal electricity market was first launched in the March 2004 Strategy Paper of The Commission. The subsequent ERGEG Regional Initiative is also explicitly supported by the Energy Council 8 June 2006, while at the same time stressing that “Cross-border exchange of energy should be improved and the regional energy cooperation should be accelerated…” There are currently five existing interconnectors on the Nordic-Continental interface today and this Implementation Group will focus on Baltic Cable and SwePol Link which both are operated as “merchant lines”. In this report merchant line will refer to an interconnector where the owners have priority rights to the capacity, and where the cost for the cable are covered by the users (i.e. no part of the cost is included in the calculation of the respective national grid tariffs). There are two issues that have to be addressed in the work of the Implementation Group for SwePol Link and Baltic Cable: • the present operation of the cables including opportunities for third party access • how these cables can be integrated in a common coordinated regional congestion management method according to the provisions in the CMG (Congestion Management Guidelines) Special attention will be given to the consequences of the present ownership structure and capacity allocation, with view to move towards common capacity allocation and congestion management methods on all present and future interconnectors between the Nordel area and continental Europe. 5/63 Ref: ERI-NO-IG [Optimizing the use of the interconnectors – SwePol Link and Baltic Cable] There are terms of reference stated by the the Regional Coordination Committee (RCC) of the ERGEG Northern Europe Electricity Regional Initiative. According to the terms of reference the implementation group will describe the current situation, the EC legal framework, describe the pros and cons of present methods applied, list alternative solutions and finally propose capacity allocation and congestion management mechanisms for Baltic Cable and SwePol Link which aligns them as much as possible with other interconnectors between Nordel area and continental Europe. The Implementation Group only addresses issues in relation to day-ahead allocation and utilization of transmission capacity. However the possibilities for intra-day utilization are also important for the total efficient use of interconnectors. Furthermore, the implementation group does not address the issue how available transmission capacity (ATC) for the interconnectors is determined as a function of the situation in the surrounding national grids. Parallel to the work in this implementation group, the IG Transparency of the Northern Europe region has recently published a report containing a common regional understanding of market relevant information to be published by TSOs/PXs. This is based on present EU transparency requirements as well as ERGEG guidelines published. The implementation is to take place in a two step approach during 2008. The IG Transparency will be monitoring the implementation. In the report it is mentioned that it should be discussed in this IG to what extent the transparency rules can be adopted regarding Baltic Cable and SwePol Link. 6/63 Ref: ERI-NO-IG [Optimizing the use of the

  • Swepol Link Sets New Environmental Standard for HVDC Transmission
    00 ABB Review 4/2001 SwePol Link sets new environmental standard for HVDC transmission Leif Söderberg, Bernt Abrahamsson Six cable links – all of them HVDC (high-voltage direct current) – are currently in service between the power grids of continental Europe and the Nordic region, with another five planned. The latest to be brought on line is the SwePol Link, which connects the electricity networks of Poland and Sweden. It is unique in that, unlike previous installations that depend on electrode stations to transmit the return current under ground or under water, it uses 20-kV XLPE cable to carry this current. The high-voltage HVDC submarine cable used for the SwePol Link is designed for 600 MW at 450 kV. he reason for all these links is the technically feasible to reverse the entire onds to prevent grid failure if the voltage T vital need to secure power system 600 MW power throughput of the in southern Sweden drops below 380 kV. reliability in each of the participating SwePol Link in just 1.3 seconds, although With all previous links of this kind, countries.

  • Network Development Plan 2016 – 2025
    NOVEMBER 2015 NETWORK DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2016 – 2025 A Ten-Year Plan for the Swedish National Grid. SVENSKA KRAFTNÄT Our society is dependent on electricity. Svenska kraftnät is responsible for ensuring that Sweden has a safe, environmentally sound and cost-effective transmission system for electricity – today and in the future. We achieve this in the short term by monitoring the electrical system around the clock, and in the long term by building new power lines to meet tomorrow’s electricity needs. Cover photo Tomas Ärlemo Org. Nr 202100-4284 SVENSKA KRAFTNÄT Box 1200 172 24 Sundbyberg Sweden Sturegatan 1 Tel +46 10-475 80 00 Fax +46 10-475 89 50 www.svk.se/en PREFACE The board of Svenska kraftnät decided in April 2013 on a long-term plan document for the development of the Swedish National Grid. Long-term plan 2025 described the challenges for Svenska kraftnät in the 10 to 15 years term. The purpose was, among other things, to increase the transparency of Svenska kraftnät’s planning and to provide an opportunity for the various stakeholders in the electricity market to influence it. Until then, the national network planning mainly consisted of the three-year investment and financing plans that Svenska kraftnät annually provide to the Government. These plans are, however, primarily a description of how investments already decided are expected to turn out over the next three financial years. They do not give an account of the Administration’s long-term priorities and the grounds for them. A certain network planning is conducted also at Nordic level in order to identify grid reinforcements with specific benefit for the whole of the Nordic electricity market.

  • Prisbildning Och Konkurrens På Elmarknaden
    Prisbildning och konkurrens på elmarknaden ER 2006:13 Böcker och rapporter utgivna av Statens energimyndighet kan beställas från Energimyndighetens förlag. Orderfax: 016-544 22 59 e-post: [email protected] © Statens energimyndighet Upplaga: 200 ex ER 2006:13 ISSN 1403-1892 Förord På uppdrag av regeringen har Energimarknadsinspektionen vid Statens energimyndighet analyserat den svenska och nordiska elmarknadens funktionssätt med tonvikt på konkurrensen och prisbildningen. Den 1 januari 1996 reformerades den svenska elmarknaden. Konkurrens infördes i handel med och produktion av el medan nätverksamhet är ett reglerat monopol. Prisutvecklingen på den svenska och nordiska elmarknaden under de senaste åren har föranlett en diskussion om hur väl elmarknaden fungerar. Bland annat har lönsamheten bland elmarknadens aktörer och effektiviteten i prisbildningen på råkraftsmarknaden ifrågasatts. Rapporten belyser utvecklingen på den nordiska råkraftsmarknaden och söker förklara det senaste decenniets elprisökningar. Vidare behandlas konsekvenserna för slutkunderna på den nordiska slutkundsmarknaden. Därefter analyseras konkurrensen på den nordiska elmarknaden. Inspektionen föreslår även ett antal åtgärder för att förbättra förutsättningarna för en väl fungerande konkurrens på elmarknaden. Även konkurrenssituationen på den svenska slutkundsmarknaden behandlas. I det nordiska elsystemet är det viktigt att begränsningar i överföringskapacitet hanteras på ett rationellt sätt. I rapporten analyseras några konsekvenser av att införa en delning av Sverige i så kallade elspotområden. Energimarknadsinspektionen har i arbetet med rapporten, och för att inhämta synpunkter, samarbetat med en referensgrupp bestående av företrädare från näringslivet samt representanter från andra berörda myndigheter och organisationer. Sammanfattning och slutsatser Den 1 januari 1996 reformerades den svenska elmarknaden. Konkurrens infördes i handel med och produktion av el medan nätverksamhet är ett reglerat monopol.

    Titel: Trygg elförsörjning i Skåne län – underlagsrapport Utgiven av: Länsstyrelsen Skåne Författare: Hannes Sonnsjö [email protected] Medförfattare: Tobias Gunneberg Sandra Johanne Selander Beställning: Länsstyrelsen Skåne Samhällsbyggnad 205 15 Malmö Telefon 010-224 10 00 Copyright: Länsstyrelsen Skåne Diarienummer: 31140-2020-1 ISBN: 978-91-7675-205-0 Rapportnummer: 2020:26 (version 1, 2020-09-07) Illustrationer och grafik: Christoffer Nielsen Tryckår: 2020 Förord Denna rapport utgör ett analysunderlag till den gemensamma slutrapport som länsstyrelserna lämnar till energi- och digitaliseringsminister Anders Ygeman den 7 september 2020. Vårt arbete tar sin utgångspunkt i hur vi kan planera vår elförsörjning bättre och vad som behövs för att i framtiden undvika fler situationer där nyetableringar riskerar att nekas eller utbyggnad av klimatsmart infrastruktur skjuts på framtiden. Vi kan konstatera att medvetenheten hos kommuner, näringsliv och elnätsbolag ökat under de månader som analysarbetet genomförts. Avgörande faktorer är god samverkan, ett breddat perspektiv och en förståelse för varandras roller och ansvar. När energilandskapet förändras uppstår naturligen konflikter. Det kan till exempel handla om att mindre aktörer vill åstadkomma något där regelverken inte är i takt med tiden eller att en etablerad aktörs affärsmodell inte längre är lika lönsam. Det är i mötet mellan det nya – det småskaliga som växer nerifrån och upp – och det etablerade – det storskaliga och centraliserade – som det blir tydligt att energilandskapet är i förändring. På kort sikt kommer billig sol och vindkraft under gynnsamma väderförhållanden att konkurrera ut dyrare, men ofta mer planerbara, alternativ. Då uppstår ett behov av att göra avvägningar mellan politiska mål, att beakta olika tidsperspektiv, att beräkna kostnader och att reda ut ansvarsförhållanden.
