.Progress to date and main challenges to come

.The way forward


Completing the Internal Energy Market Plenty of work left to do

. Target dates set by European Council

.What is to be done?

» Implementing Third energy package» Harmonising market and network operation rules» Enhancing investments in infrastructure - Connecting isolated

markets» Enforcing competition and State aid rules» Promoting regional initiatives


Role of the Regional Initiatives

.Forum for cooperation between all relevant actors (NRAs, TSOs, Market Parties)

.Addressing specific regional needs » allowing for different speeds and» tailor-made agenda-setting

.Practical testing of possible solutions in a pro-active manner


Getting to 2014: Role of the GRIs

.Role is the same, but work will be different

» Early implementation of FGs and NCs to discover best practices

» Pilot projects to discover the need for harmonization in NCs

» Moving ahead instead of waiting for a Europe-wide solution


The Role of GRI NW towards 2014How to proceed?

.Good results from this region in the past (transparency, DA Pilot, STC, investment)…

.…are not a guarantee for success in the future.

. Last years output has suffered as result of ‘competing’ work on EU-level

.Points to work on:

» Ensure broad stakeholder involvement» Be pro-active» Set an example for the other GRIs


The Role of GRI NW towards 2014In practice

.Three priorities

» Early implementation• E.g. of FGs and NCs: bundling platform, Oversubscription

and Buy-back

» Regional Investment Planning• GRIPs, cross-border investments,

» Pilot testing• E.g. investigating need for market coupling in gas, regional

solution to gas quality issues,


Regulation on guidelines for trans-European energy infrastructure

.Implementation of 12 priority corridors/areas, necessary to meet EU’s energy and climate policy goals by 2020 and beyond…

.…by providing policy and regulatory certainty through a stable and appropriate regulatory framework to promote the necessary investments.
