First Regional Technical Coordination Service Center

• Operational since 16 Feb 2009

• 24h/day since 29th June 2009

• Security analysis for day-ahead

• Research for remedial actions

• Examples

– Improvement of security of supply: • preventing major constraints induced by equipment faults undetectable by TSOs • remedial actions to reduce level of constraints impacting several TSOs• coordinating discussions between TSOs involved in remedial actions

(eg. phase shifters)

– Reducing re-dispatching cost for TSOs

5. Coreso: pro-active TSO coordination

• Reserved for financing future investments

3.3.IncentivisationIncentivisation on controllable costs on controllable costs ((€€ 6 m in budget 2009)6 m in budget 2009)• Ceiling = same amount as efficiency gain (X-factor)

4.4.NewNew: Transfer pricing agreement: Transfer pricing agreement• 60% of the margin on the results of foreign consulting activities

• Financial participations in RAB : dividends & surplus values

→ 60% to Elia and 40% to tariff reductions

• Financial participations outside RAB
