Florence School in Brussels 13 October 2015Luncheon debate “Future(s) of EU TSOs”
Jorge, Vincent & JM > > > (Vasconcelos), (Rious) & (Glachant) @Newes, @Microeconomics & @Florence School
# TSOs tasks?
# Regulation?
# Governance?
Europeanisation of power market
Low carbon economy
Wave of technological innovation

3d scenario (Local): System changes
• I did look only at hardware functions “investment” & “connection”
BUT SOFTWARE IS AS KEY (if not more): • Balancing generation & demand• Managing congestion• Facilitating market trade & exchanges• + Coordinating with all neighbouring TSOs &
DSOs
TSOs other functions: software
Coming: Inconsistency & black holes
• 1- None of 3 scenarii can easily meet Low-Carbon & Low-Cost > ?
• 2- Critical system operations for SECURITY (today MS TSOs) starting to involve somebody’else > ?
• 3- Exis. Legal & regulatory framework has to move to rebuild system & market arrangements incl. coordination & safeguard tools
Concl: (Slow)food for (fast)thought
• 4- Any hybrid path “mixing 3 scenarii” will require many “new” decisions to be taken> “Energy Union” new path ?
• 5- If Exist. 3d Package & Grid Codes keep dominating the scene >> we have serious “governance issues” to be addressed: how to handle interface (MS/EU) & (MS/Local)?
(Slow) food for (fast) thought/ Cted
(6) We face four big governance challenges• How to Regio. & EU. Grid planning; system,
security & market operation? Incl. NRAs?• How to restrain MS SoS, Capacity Mec. &
Energy Mix from breaking any EU frame?• How to bridge MS “2030 NAPs” with grid
planning, system & market operation?• How to host local systems&new local players
in Exist. Multilayer MS/EU framework
(Slow) food for (fast) thought/ Cted
• (7) Today enormous part of Exist. EU framework comes from voluntary & informal cooperation between MS & EU players (from Companies & Stakeholders to NRAs & Commission; + ACER, ENTSO-E, etc)
>> Will this “club of the willing” move fast enough to deliver the tomorrow’s “missing blocks”?
(Slow) food for (fast) thought/ End.
We wonder about the future(s)…
Yes we do…
