Barcelona 12-15 May 2003
The regulation of Swedish local distribution utilities
• Swedish market deregulated in 1996– Including ~ 5 million domestic customers– ~ 200-250 local distribution utilities
• Ex post regulation• New electricity act in 2002• A regulatory authority with limited
resources• Looking at the utilities from the outside

A shift for utilities
• What used to be:
Profit
TariffCosts
Resulted in
Tariff = Costs + Profit

A shift for utilities
• Has become:
Profit ?
TariffCosts
Limits
Profit = Tariff - Costs

The Network Performance Assessment Model
• A regulatory tool – legal regulation not dependant of the model
• History– Developed since 1998– Pilot tests in 2001, 2002 and 2003– In operational use 2004
• Developed on commission of the regulatory authority

Barcelona 12-15 May 2003
Input data
• For every customer– Geographical position, actual energy consumption and
revenues
• For connections to other networks– Geographical position, energy delivered and voltage
level
• Outage duration and frequencies (averages) for announced and unannounced outages
• Local generation– Revenues, voltage level and energy delivered

Barcelona 12-15 May 2003
Two main steps in the model
1. Creation of a fictitious network
2. Valuation of the network
Cost of delivering electricity to customers
Reliability level
(Based on the fictitious network) (Outage data from actual network)

Barcelona 12-15 May 2003
The model and the regulatory authority
• Intended use of the model– Instrument for selecting utilities
• Actual revenues compared to the model’s result (Network Performance)
• Majority of utilities will not be closer reviewed
– Establishing a climate for self-regulation• Code of conduct
• Support communication

Implications on utilities – three dimensions
• Requirements in order to use the model
• Changed fundamental principles
• Implications on the businesses

14GAMMELGARD SE Session 5 – Block 2 – Paper 39
Barcelona 12-15 May 2003
Requirements in order to use the model – input data
• Input data availability– Several parameters for every customer in
Sweden! (~5 million customers in total)
• Integrating input data– Separate (IT-)systems for positions, revenues
and energy consumption
• Input data quality
![Page 15: GAMMELGARD SE Session 5 – Block 2 – Paper 39 Barcelona 12-15 May 2003 1 The challenge of regulating natural monopolies in electrical distribution – experices.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072015/56649ed15503460f94be05c5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15GAMMELGARD SE Session 5 – Block 2 – Paper 39
Barcelona 12-15 May 2003
Changed fundamental principles
• No guaranteed return– Managing costs according to the allowed revenues –
not covering costs
• Regulation from the outside– Managing cost efficiently should make a good (and
approved) profit
• History not considered– Historical investments does not justify higher tariffs
– Actual capital costs could be lower

• Evaluating investments– If possible to assess changes in input data
– The changed Network Performance is a valuation of the investment

Conclusions
• Model not possible to implement without widespread availability of input data– Coordinated IT-systems
• For the regulatory authority:– Decide on the exact use of the model– Identify incentives created

Conclusions
• For the utility:– Fundamentally altered regulation environment– Possible to influence allowed income through
outages – Actual costs external to model– Managing costs – a challenge
