The task
Key question:
What can we learn from existing transnational planning processes in the pilot area for cross-border and transnational MSP?
Combined Grid Solution and Baltic Pipe project selected as case study examples

Background
Combined Grid Solution (CGS): The first offshore grid of its kind in the world
• A joint German-Danish project • To connect two offshore wind farms in the
southern Baltic Sea to national grids• To provide a transmission link between the two
countries

Background
Baltic Pipe:
• A proposed gas pipeline between Denmark and Poland in the southern Baltic Sea
• Route yet to be finalised, but would cross the German EEZ; one possible route would also enter the Swedish EEZ.

Background
• Agreed in 2001 by the Danish energy company DONG and the Polish oil and gas company PGNiG to increase natural gas supply to Poland;
• Revived in 2007 between Eneginet.dk and PGNiG, later Gaz-System
• Review in 2009 and change of purpose for Baltic Pipe to the export of gas from Poland to Denmark (bidirectional flow)

Empirical basis
• Interviews with 7 German, 1 Danish and 2 Polish representatives
• BSH, Bergamt Stralsund, Energinet.dk, 50Hertz, Energy Ministry MV and WWF for CGS
• BSH and Gaz-System for BP• Interview focus:
– Purpose of the project – Roles and responsibilities– National support/policy environment– Transnational discussions (Initiation, organisation, representation,
information, communication)– Evaluation of process so far (ourcomes, outputs)

CGS: Results
Purpose of the project
• Widely shared view of the purpose of the project• Emphasis of the European dimension• Favourable policy environment, EU support
essential for project implementation
![Page 11: Model case Pomeranian Bight Pilot / Arkona Basin](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/568160c2550346895dcfebcb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CGS: Results
Roles of the project partners
• Clear understanding of roles and responsibilities• 50Hertz and Energinet.dk recognised as the
instigators and drivers of the project• BSH and other authorities play an enabling role• BSH has a good overview of the overall context of
the project
![Page 12: Model case Pomeranian Bight Pilot / Arkona Basin](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/568160c2550346895dcfebcb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CGS: Results
The licensing process
• Licensing dealt with bilaterally and led by 50Hertz/Energinet.dk,
• No direct contact between German and Danish licensing authorities
• Licensing process differs from national procedure due to ESPOO rules
![Page 13: Model case Pomeranian Bight Pilot / Arkona Basin](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/568160c2550346895dcfebcb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
CGS: Results
Stakeholder conflicts
• Project not at the stage of stakeholder consultation
• Denmark more pro-active in informing stakeholders early in the process
Access to data
• Full access to all necessary data in DK but not in DE
![Page 14: Model case Pomeranian Bight Pilot / Arkona Basin](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/568160c2550346895dcfebcb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
CGS: Results
Dialogue and modes of communication:
• Openness and trust between the project partners• Central, leading dialogue between 50Hertz and
Energinet.dk• Technical dialogue between the two companies
and the licensing authorities
![Page 15: Model case Pomeranian Bight Pilot / Arkona Basin](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/568160c2550346895dcfebcb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CGS: Results
Dialogue and modes of communication:
• 50Hertz and Energinet.dk have established joint structures (bilateral working groups) which are proving successful
• Regular contact with counterpart considered essential for success
• Sharepoint facilities to aid communication
![Page 16: Model case Pomeranian Bight Pilot / Arkona Basin](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/568160c2550346895dcfebcb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
CGS: Results
Dialogue and modes of communication:
• Regular contact with authorities considered essential even if there is nothing new to report
• Meeting between all relevant parties early on to explain purpose and status of the project
![Page 17: Model case Pomeranian Bight Pilot / Arkona Basin](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/568160c2550346895dcfebcb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
CGS: Results
Recommendations:
• Designate one leading organisation (or consortium) responsible for driving the project. The lead organisation then needs to bring together the relevant authorities, set an agenda and ensure follow-up.
• Hold an initial project meeting with all parties early on in the process.
• Agree on how and when to inform the public and external stakeholders.

CGS: Results
Recommendations:
• Ensure there is clear and shared purpose of the project/process.
• Ensure alignment of interests and joint interest in the successful outcome of the project.

CGS: Results
Recommendations:
• Ensure clear structures of management and clear responsibilities while also ensuring transparency throughout (e.g. regular information, access to sharepoint facilities)
• Designate specific contact persons and ensure continuity of these contacts where possible.

Baltic Pipe: Present status
• An initial geophysical survey has been carried out• Some consultation took place with national
agencies during this survey. • Discussion with BSH regarding recognising the
possible route of the pipeline through the German EEZ;
• Gaz-System now considering the more detailed survey required and entering into more detailed discussions with the relevant government organisations.
Early stage of planning and transboundary communication
![Page 21: Model case Pomeranian Bight Pilot / Arkona Basin](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/568160c2550346895dcfebcb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Baltic Pipe: Elements of transboundary dialogue
• Stronger links to the Polish Maritime Offices in Szczecin and Gdansk, less strong links to Danish Energy Agency and Germany’s BSH.
• Both formal and informal means of exchange have taken place– formal applications in writing– informal requests for information via email and telephone.
• Polish and English as the languages of
communication • Communication essentially bilateral, between the
project proposer and individual government authorities
![Page 22: Model case Pomeranian Bight Pilot / Arkona Basin](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/568160c2550346895dcfebcb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Baltic Pipe: Elements of transboundary dialogue
• Multilateral discussions considered potentially useful by Gaz-System
• Reluctant to take a lead in organising such encounters, seeing this as more of a role for the authorities
• Do not see the need to widen the extent of involvement to other interests (practical difficulties)
• Do not see the need to involve other representatives of Gaz-System, such as technical experts, in discussions, as the current team are already well-equipped to carry discussions forward
![Page 23: Model case Pomeranian Bight Pilot / Arkona Basin](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/568160c2550346895dcfebcb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Initial lessons
• Gaz-System to contact government authorities as necessary.
• Government authorities similarly to contact periodically the named representatives of Gaz-System with requests for updates and to express any matters of concern.
![Page 24: Model case Pomeranian Bight Pilot / Arkona Basin](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/568160c2550346895dcfebcb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Initial lessons
• Government authorities to collaborate in organising multilateral meetings with Gaz-System and other partners (especially Energinet.dk) as appropriate, with one nation’s authority taking responsibility for calling meetings periodically.
• Gaz-System to publicise information about the project and the possible pipeline routes via its internet in a timely manner.
