2. Update of all stakeholders on progress made
Outline of current priorities
- Priority I: Best-practice standardised bulletin board
- Priority II: Summary of planned investments (incl. Storage)
- Priority III: Conclusion of OBA/IPA at interconnection points
- Priority IV: Best practice provision of one-stop-shop (OSS) service
- Priority V: Regional entry exit tariff system (REETS)
- Priority VI: Hub development as a regional balancing market
5
Priority I: Best-practice standardised bulletin board
GRI REM SSE started work on standardised trading platforms for transmission capacity on all major transmission systems of the region, which is expected to facilitate secondary market trading for shippers.
Aim: A harmonized content for individual TSO platforms according to examples provided by TAG as ‘best practice’. The platforms are expected to be ready by end of 2007.
Responsibility for implementation: TSOs, update at IG meeting in October 2007, further implementation until December 2007.
Update to be provided today!
6
Priority II: Summary of planned investments (incl. Storage)
GRI REM SSE started work in the summary of planned investments in the region which shall identify future bottlenecks and help improving congestion management.
GRI REM SSE has circulated a questionnaire to TSOs, SSOs and NRAs. A first analysis of responses has been presented at the last IG meeting in Maribor.
Aim: To include information on expansion projects (Transmission & Storage) into the survey as well, cross-check with eg GSE database.
Responsibility for data analysis: RCC. Next steps: re-circulation of questionnaire to all stakeholders with a request to check the data and re-submit any missing data items.
Update to be provided today!
7
Priority III: Conclusion of OBA/IPA at interconnection points
GRI REM SSE started work on removing obstacles to the implementation of IPA/OBA.
GRI REM SSE involved stakeholders work on a solution for the implementation of an OBA at Baumgarten including a list of remaining obstacles.
Progress made: - Murfeld and Gorizia: conclusion of IPA/OBA ?- Baumgarten: CEGH to coordinate with TSOs to conclude IPA/OBA
Responsibility: TSOs, shippers; CEGH
Update to be provided today!
8
Priority IV: Best practice provision of one-stop-shop (OSS) service
GRI REM SSE worked in ensuring market integration via simplification how gas can be shipped both within the region and across the region; role model for the whole of the EU.
GRI REM SSE agreed with TSOs that they will provide with services on request of shippers for the whole transportation route and/or at certain interconnection points.
Aim: TSOs offer OSS service to shippers who request it, cross-reference to transparency platform (GTE pilot project) and best practice cases of OSS (e.g. OMV, www.gatrac.com).
TSOs of the region are invited to join the GATRAC platform.
EFET to circulate their paper on a Regional ISO for comments.
Update to be provided today!
9
Priority V: Regional entry exit tariff system (REETS)
GRI REM SSE started work on a simulation of regional entry-exit tariff system and its impacts.
GRI REM SSE is working on promotion of a more cost reflective transportation pricing systems and easier market access for new shippers through a regional entry exit tariff system; role model for the whole of the EU.
Presentation of benchmarking results and simulation of introduction of REETS at the IG meeting in Maribor.
Next steps: AEEG to circulate REETS simulation study to stakeholders for comments
Responsibility: RCC
Update to be provided today!
10
Priority VI: Hub development as a regional balancing market
GRI REM SSE worked on introducing a back up/ back down service, day ahead products, and web-based nominations among other initiatives.
Aim: Develop hub(s) to be regional balancing points.
Progress made: - PSV: implementation of independent Market Operator for the balancing point, RCC to monitor implementation according to Action Plan.- CEGH: implementation of back-up/back-down services, RCC to monitor implementation according to Action Plan.
Next steps: Update on implementation of next steps by March 2008.
Responsibility: CEGH/EFET, PSV/EFET
Update to be provided today!

Suggested next steps
Questions to SG members
Which approach is useful for a regional long term planning?
Could the GTE approach be used as a starting point to define (a) different gas flow scenarios and (b) long term projections e.g. until 2020?
What are likely scenarios that could impact on supply/demand in the region?
- Demand side: Supply side:- Power station newbuilt - IGI (Poseidon)- Household demand - Nabucco - Industry demand - LNG Poland - Extension Transmed. - North stream
Update on situation for each country: Priorities infrastructure planning
Report/Presentation at the next IG meetingAim: To develop a better understanding for natural gas supply/demand in the region and implications for infrastructure investmentSG invited to send their comments to [email protected]
