Less Priorities, More Focus: Capacity

Capacity: working towards a goal to

make it readily available,

easily tradable,

at fair prices and

on a non-discriminatory basis

Capacity: both existing and new

Directie Toezicht Energie

99 Transparency enables better risk

management

It facilitates trading

Therefore: continue the work that is

being done…

…and review the achieved results

Less Priorities, More Focus: Transparency

Outcomes Consultation - Some Concerns

Should we have more focus?

Should we take on board more priorities– E.g. Balancing

Who is running the show?Is the Program Board only adding to an

already cluttered organisational structure?(GTE+, Agency, RCC+, regional TSOs, Gas platform)

Outcomes Consultation - Some Concerns

Should we have more focus?

– TSOs have agreed to plan Should we take on board more priorities

– Balancing will be addressed H1 2009 Who is running the show?

– This is still the ERGEG initiative but it takes all parties to achieve results

Is the Program Board only adding to an already cluttered organisational structure?

– PB to help solve issues at the right level and guide progress of work

Question to the SG

New Structure:The Role of the RCC+

A step up from the RCC’s current role

A platform where information is shared, common views are developed and decisions concerning cross-border issues are discussed and where possible aligned

More efficient: allow RCC+ to focus on regional regulatory issues less on facilitating the process as well

As an intermediate solution in anticipation of European Agency overseeing developments and link to ERGEG and process to European internal market

Directie Toezicht Energie

actual cross-border issues where

interaction with more than one

regulator would be required to solve or

to obtain approval

Question to the SG

Directie Toezicht Energie

sufficiently efficient to

facilitate your endeavors
