PURPOSE: to set out an Action Plan on making the\ninternal energy market work.
\nCONTENT: this communication recalls the benefits of\nintegrated European energy markets and sets out ways to ensure that\nthe market fulfils its potential as soon as possible and satisfies\nthe needs and expectations of the EU's citizens and businesses.\nThis initiative has been identified as one of the 12 priority\nactions under the\nCommunication \"Single Market Act II Together for new\ngrowth. In spite of the progress made in the last few\nyears in the functioning of the market, further efforts are needed\nto integrate the markets, improve competition and deal with new\nchallenges.
\nAs underlined by the Commission's\nEnergy Roadmap 2050, Europe's energy networks and\nsystems and opening up energy markets further are essential in\nmaking the transition to a low-carbon economy and maintaining\nsecure supplies at the lowest possible cost. It stressed the need\nto:
\nAccordingly, the European Heads of State or\nGovernment set a clear deadline of 2014 for completion of the\ninternal energy market.
\nBy 2014 the existing legislation needs to be\nimplemented in full. Cross-border markets for gas and electricity\nmust be up and running in all parts of the EU and the\nimplementation of plans to complete, modernise and smarten EU grids\nmust be well under way. Today the EU is not on track to meet\nthis deadline:
\nChallenges to be met:\nalthough the benefits of a well-functioning internal energy market\nare becoming progressively visible, there are challenges that need\nto be tackled urgently in order to complete the internal energy\nmarket by 2014.
\n(1) Implement internal market legislation and actively\nenforce competition rules: the\narchitecture for the internal energy market is laid out in the\nThird energy package. The building blocks are there but they must\nbe implemented effectively for the internal energy market to\nwork.
\nThe Commission is pursuing, as a matter of priority,\ninfringement procedures against those Member States that have not\nyet fully transposed the Third energy package Directives or have\nfailed to do so correctly. It intends to provide regular updates on\nthe state of implementation of internal energy market legislation\nin individual Member States and on the infringement\nprocedures.
\nFurthermore, the Commission:
\nMember States, for their part, must stimulate\ncompetition by developing infrastructure, in particular in\nsupport of cross-border activity, and eliminating market entry\nbarriers.
\n(2) Help consumers take advantage of opportunities\nafforded by the internal market:\ncurrently, SMEs and households are more passive than large\nindustrial customers and are therefore losing out as available\nprice differentials remain unexploited.
\nIn this area, the challenges are: i) enabling the\ndelivery of diverse and innovative services to consumers;\nii) ensuring targeted assistance to give vulnerable consumers\nbetter protection.
\nThe Commission feels that timely deployment of\nsmart meters as set out in the EU acquis can trigger\ndemand-response and other innovative and smart services.
\nHowever, at present, price regulation in many\nMember States prevents suppliers from offering attractive\nservices and tailor-made and dynamic pricing schemes. It\ndiscourages new entrants that could challenge the incumbents. In\nsome Member States prices are even regulated by the State for some\nor all customer groups at levels below market costs. It is clear\nthat such a situation is not conducive to the development of a\ncompetitive market and is economically unsustainable.
\nA recent European Court of Justice ruling states that\nprice regulation can be compatible with EU law only under strictly\ndefined circumstances.
\nIn these circumstances, the Commission\nintends:
\n(3) Making Europe's energy systems fit for the\nfuture: energy systems are in the\nearly phase of a major transition. Significant investments are\nneeded to replace the EU's ageing systems, decarbonize them and\nmake them energy-efficient and increase security of supply. The\ninternal energy market can help the EU make the transition.\nHowever, the system change cannot take place without a properly\nintegrated, modern infrastructure. The Commission will act on\nseveral issues:
\n- Wholesale markets: the Commission considers that properly functioning\nlong-term and short-term wholesale markets, which reflect the\neconomic value of power at each point in time in each area can\nsteer investments to where they are most efficient.
\nThe Commission will ensure the further development\nof well-functioning, cross-border, wholesale markets in all\ntimeframes by developing network codes. These codes will\nestablish common rules to enable network operators, generators,\nsuppliers and consumers to operate more effectively within the\nmarket.
\n- Security of supply in electricity:\nsome Member States have introduced or plan to\nintroduce separate payments for the market availability of\ngeneration capacity, as they are concerned that the 'energy only'\nmarket will not deliver sufficient investment in generation to\nensure security of supply in the longer term.
\nThe Commission is of the view that if capacity\nmechanisms are not well designed and/or are introduced prematurely\nor without proper co-ordination at EU level, they risk being\ncounterproductive, since they will tend to distort investment\nsignals. Accordingly, before introducing such mechanisms, Member\nStates should: (i) carry out a full analysis of whether there is\na lack of investment in generation, and why; (ii) seek\ncross-border solutions to any problems they find before planning to\nintervene.
\n- Steering the energy mix to low\ncarbon: currently, Member States use various forms of direct\nor indirect state support and/or surcharges on consumers' bills for\na range of energy sources. Assuming further progress in completing\nthe internal energy market, falling production costs, and evolution\nin the carbon market, all forms of support mechanisms need to be\nregularly reviewed.
\nThe Commission will issue guidance on best practice\nand experience gained in renewable energy support schemes and on\nsupport scheme reform.
\n- More integration, faster modernisation and better\nuse of grids: serious investment\nin energy networks is needed to enable certain areas of the EU to\nemerge from isolation and to achieve our Europe 2020 targets. In\nOctober 2011, the Commission tabled a proposal\nfor a Regulation on \"Guidelines for trans- European energy\ninfrastructure.\" The adoption and swift implementation\nof the energy infrastructure packet is essentia as acknowledged by\nthe European Council on 9 December 2011.
\nLastly, with the growing need for flexibility and\nenergy efficiency and to accommodate distributed generation and\ndemand-side participation, co-ordinated action is needed with a\nview to the deployment of smart grids at European, regional and\nmunicipal levels.
\nThe Commission intends to: (i) further support R&D\nand innovation to facilitate the deployment of smart grids; (ii)\npromote pro-competitive co-operation between the energy and the ICT\nsector, including innovative service providers for advancing the\nmodernisation of grids and accelerating innovation in the energy\nsector.

\n- Security of supply in electricity:\nsome Member States have introduced or plan to\nintroduce separate payments for the market availability of\ngeneration capacity, as they are concerned that the 'energy only'\nmarket will not deliver sufficient investment in generation to\nensure security of supply in the longer term.
\nThe Commission is of the view that if capacity\nmechanisms are not well designed and/or are introduced prematurely\nor without proper co-ordination at EU level, they risk being\ncounterproductive, since they will tend to distort investment\nsignals. Accordingly, before introducing such mechanisms, Member\nStates should: (i) carry out a full analysis of whether there is\na lack of investment in generation, and why; (ii) seek\ncross-border solutions to any problems they find before planning to\nintervene.
\n- Steering the energy mix to low\ncarbon: currently, Member States use various forms of direct\nor indirect state support and/or surcharges on consumers' bills for\na range of energy sources. Assuming further progress in completing\nthe internal energy market, falling production costs, and evolution\nin the carbon market, all forms of support mechanisms need to be\nregularly reviewed.
\nThe Commission will issue guidance on best practice\nand experience gained in renewable energy support schemes and on\nsupport scheme reform.
\n- More integration, faster modernisation and better\nuse of grids: serious investment\nin energy networks is needed to enable certain areas of the EU to\nemerge from isolation and to achieve our Europe 2020 targets. In\nOctober 2011, the Commission tabled a proposal\nfor a Regulation on \"Guidelines for trans- European energy\ninfrastructure.\" The adoption and swift implementation\nof the energy infrastructure packet is essentia as acknowledged by\nthe European Council on 9 December 2011.
\nLastly, with the growing need for flexibility and\nenergy efficiency and to accommodate distributed generation and\ndemand-side participation, co-ordinated action is needed with a\nview to the deployment of smart grids at European, regional and\nmunicipal levels.
\nThe Commission intends to: (i) further support R&D\nand innovation to facilitate the deployment of smart grids; (ii)\npromote pro-competitive co-operation between the energy and the ICT\nsector, including innovative service providers for advancing the\nmodernisation of grids and accelerating innovation in the energy\nsector.
\nThe Committee on Industry, Research and Energy adopted\nthe own-initiative report by Jerzy BUZEK (EPP, PL) on making the\ninternal energy market work in response to the Commission\ncommunication on the same subject.
\nMembers recall that Member States have committed\nthemselves to clear deadlines for the completion of the internal\nenergy market by 2014 and for doing away with the EUs\nenergy islands by 2015. They consider that a completed\ninternal energy market is indispensable for the Unions\noverall energy security and sustainability, and is of essential\nvalue for the Unions global competitiveness, economic growth\nand the creation of new jobs in the EU. Moreover, a single\nenergy market will empower the Union to speak with one voice\nvis-à-vis external partners.
\nThe report broadly welcomes the Commissions\nCommunication and the accompanying Action Plan. It recognises the\nEuropean added value of better energy policy coordination and\ncooperation among the Member States, in a spirit of solidarity. It\nrecalls its support for the creation of a European Energy\nCommunity between the Member States, and asks the Commission\nand the European Council to report on the progress towards its\ncreation.
\nConsumer-oriented market: Members support a user-friendly and transparent\ninternal energy market. Consumers must be duly protected, and\naccurately informed with easy access to information, so that they\nare able to exercise their rights fully, while encouraged to play a\nmore active role in stimulating market competition, moving from\npassive service recipients to active informed consumers and\nprosumers.
\nIn addition, the report emphasises the importance of\nensuring a competitive, easily managed and transparent energy\nmarket that offers real choice and competing prices to\nconsumers as well as provides all present and future EU energy\nconsumers with safe, sustainable, affordable and reliable ways\nof generating energy.
\nMembers draw attention to the advantage of applying\nvariable network-use charges and believe that smart\ntechnologies must deliver accurate, understandable and\nuser-friendly information to consumers, and must empower them to\nmanage their energy consumption and production. Mechanisms should\nbe put in place to protect vulnerable consumers.
\nCurrent challenges:\nMembers believe that the lack of full implementation of internal\nenergy market legislation remains one of the main obstacles for\nthe completion of this market.
\nMoreover, they stress that modernising the existing\nenergy infrastructure, and building new, intelligent and\nflexible generation, transmission, distribution and storage\ninfrastructures is essential for a stable, well-integrated and\nwell-connected energy market. They believe that investment in\ninfrastructure needs to be encouraged through a stable,\ninnovation-friendly and predictable regulatory framework that\ndoes not impede the functioning of the internal market.
\nMembers call for studies exploring the possibility of\nestablishing a European fund for investment in energy\nnetworks, financed by a compulsory European levy on energy\nconsumption on the territory of the European Union, that could\nprovide such public funding.
\nThe report stresses that, without prejudice either to\nthe Member States' right to choose their energy mix or to the need\nfor increased EU-wide coordination, the EU as a whole must make\nfull use of the potential of all sustainable energy sources\nthat are at the disposal of the Member States.
\nLastly, it insists on the need to tackle the\nanticipated growth of gas and electricity imports from third\ncountries to the EU in the short- and medium-term, with view of\nensuring security of energy supply, burden-sharing and a\nfair functioning of the internal market.
\nUrgent actions are needed: with a view to creating a well-integrated, open and\nwell-regulated, and competitive internal energy market, Members\ncall on the Member States to transpose and implement fully all\nrelevant EU legislation, in particular the third energy\npackage, as a matter of urgency. The Commission is urged to take\naction against those Member States in which implementation has been\nunduly delayed.
\nThe Commission and the Member States are called upon\nto:
\nThe report draws attention to the external\ndimension of the energy market, the aim of which is to make it\neasier for all Member States to gain access to diversified energy\nsources. It calls on the Commission, in coordination with the\nEuropean External Action Service, to use its foreign policy\ninstruments to promote the rules and standards of the internal\nenergy market in relation to third countries.
\nFuture energy and climate challenges: the report calls on the Member States, the\nCommission and the relevant stakeholders to convert the necessary\nsupporting schemes for all power generators into transparent,\npredictable, convergent and market-driven mechanisms, as soon\nas it is feasible, in order to create a common market for requested\nsupport features such as energy efficiency, prosumers,\ncogeneration, flexibility, renewables, and grid support services\n in a way that ensures their compatibility.
\nLastly, the Commission is asked to continue to use\nregional development, cohesion and other EU structural funds to\nsupport the creation of smart gas and power grids in the next\nperiod.
\nThe European Parliament adopted a resolution on making\nthe internal energy market work in response to the Commission\ncommunication on the same subject.

\nPURPOSE: to set out an Action Plan on making the\ninternal energy market work.
\nCONTENT: this communication recalls the benefits of\nintegrated European energy markets and sets out ways to ensure that\nthe market fulfils its potential as soon as possible and satisfies\nthe needs and expectations of the EU's citizens and businesses.\nThis initiative has been identified as one of the 12 priority\nactions under the\nCommunication \"Single Market Act II Together for new\ngrowth. In spite of the progress made in the last few\nyears in the functioning of the market, further efforts are needed\nto integrate the markets, improve competition and deal with new\nchallenges.
\nAs underlined by the Commission's\nEnergy Roadmap 2050, Europe's energy networks and\nsystems and opening up energy markets further are essential in\nmaking the transition to a low-carbon economy and maintaining\nsecure supplies at the lowest possible cost. It stressed the need\nto:
\nAccordingly, the European Heads of State or\nGovernment set a clear deadline of 2014 for completion of the\ninternal energy market.
\nBy 2014 the existing legislation needs to be\nimplemented in full. Cross-border markets for gas and electricity\nmust be up and running in all parts of the EU and the\nimplementation of plans to complete, modernise and smarten EU grids\nmust be well under way. Today the EU is not on track to meet\nthis deadline:
\nChallenges to be met:\nalthough the benefits of a well-functioning internal energy market\nare becoming progressively visible, there are challenges that need\nto be tackled urgently in order to complete the internal energy\nmarket by 2014.
\n(1) Implement internal market legislation and actively\nenforce competition rules: the\narchitecture for the internal energy market is laid out in the\nThird energy package. The building blocks are there but they must\nbe implemented effectively for the internal energy market to\nwork.
\nThe Commission is pursuing, as a matter of priority,\ninfringement procedures against those Member States that have not\nyet fully transposed the Third energy package Directives or have\nfailed to do so correctly. It intends to provide regular updates on\nthe state of implementation of internal energy market legislation\nin individual Member States and on the infringement\nprocedures.
\nFurthermore, the Commission:
\nMember States, for their part, must stimulate\ncompetition by developing infrastructure, in particular in\nsupport of cross-border activity, and eliminating market entry\nbarriers.
\n(2) Help consumers take advantage of opportunities\nafforded by the internal market:\ncurrently, SMEs and households are more passive than large\nindustrial customers and are therefore losing out as available\nprice differentials remain unexploited.
\nIn this area, the challenges are: i) enabling the\ndelivery of diverse and innovative services to consumers;\nii) ensuring targeted assistance to give vulnerable consumers\nbetter protection.
\nThe Commission feels that timely deployment of\nsmart meters as set out in the EU acquis can trigger\ndemand-response and other innovative and smart services.
\nHowever, at present, price regulation in many\nMember States prevents suppliers from offering attractive\nservices and tailor-made and dynamic pricing schemes. It\ndiscourages new entrants that could challenge the incumbents. In\nsome Member States prices are even regulated by the State for some\nor all customer groups at levels below market costs. It is clear\nthat such a situation is not conducive to the development of a\ncompetitive market and is economically unsustainable.
\nA recent European Court of Justice ruling states that\nprice regulation can be compatible with EU law only under strictly\ndefined circumstances.
\nIn these circumstances, the Commission\nintends:
\n(3) Making Europe's energy systems fit for the\nfuture: energy systems are in the\nearly phase of a major transition. Significant investments are\nneeded to replace the EU's ageing systems, decarbonize them and\nmake them energy-efficient and increase security of supply. The\ninternal energy market can help the EU make the transition.\nHowever, the system change cannot take place without a properly\nintegrated, modern infrastructure. The Commission will act on\nseveral issues:
\n- Wholesale markets: the Commission considers that properly functioning\nlong-term and short-term wholesale markets, which reflect the\neconomic value of power at each point in time in each area can\nsteer investments to where they are most efficient.
\nThe Commission will ensure the further development\nof well-functioning, cross-border, wholesale markets in all\ntimeframes by developing network codes. These codes will\nestablish common rules to enable network operators, generators,\nsuppliers and consumers to operate more effectively within the\nmarket.
\n- Security of supply in electricity:\nsome Member States have introduced or plan to\nintroduce separate payments for the market availability of\ngeneration capacity, as they are concerned that the 'energy only'\nmarket will not deliver sufficient investment in generation to\nensure security of supply in the longer term.
