Title: Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan BEMIP


1
Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan (BEMIP)
2
The three pillars of EU energy policy
  • Europe has agreed a forward-looking political
    agenda to achieve its core energy objectives of
    sustainability, competitiveness and security of
    supply.

3
Strategic Energy Review
  • Target of 20-20-20 by 2020
  • Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to 20
    below 1990 levels, 30 in the context of a
    global
  • agreement on climate 20 contribution of
    renewables to final energy consumption
  • reduction in primary energy use to 20 below the
    baseline projection for 2020.

Towards single internal market
5
2nd Strategic Energy Review - Infrastructure
priorities
  • Effective interconnection of the Baltic Sea
    region was identified as one of the six priority
    energy infrastructure projects in the Second
    Strategic Energy Review adopted by the Commission
    in November 2008.

6
BEMIP start up and goals
  • The Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan was
    launched at the initiative of Commission
    President Barroso at the 2008 autumn European
    Council.
  • The two main goals of the BEMIP initiative,
    within the context of the EU's 20/20/20
    objectives are
  • the full integration of the three Baltic States
    into the European energy market, through
  • the strengthening of interconnections with their
    EU neighboring countries.

7
Creation of the BEMIP (Action plan)
  • A High Level Group has been set up with the
    participation of Denmark, Estonia, Finland,
    Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden and,
    as an observer Norway.
  • The Group, chaired by the Commission, started to
    meet in November 2008. Three working groups
    deemed necessary for the development of the Plan
    on the following topics
  • "Internal Market of electricity
  • "Electricity Interconnections and power
    generation
  • "Gas internal market and infrastructure"

8
The main conclusions of the BEMIP High Level
Group final report
  • BEMIP (Action Plan) covers the following 3 areas
  • Electricity market integration
  • The Electricity market design - based on the
    Nordic electricity market model
  • A specific "Roadmap" that describes practical
    steps on how to reach the new market model and
    aims at removing the barriers for a regional
    electricity market in the Baltic States in
    conformity with the EU internal electricity
    market
  • Electricity interconnections and generation
  • The infrastructure projects allowing the
    integration of the Baltic Sea Region electricity
    markets are identified and have been assessed.
    There are three sets of projects
  • The Nordic Master Plan covers the projects
    between the Nordic countries such as Fenno - Skan
    II linking Finland and Sweden, Great Belt in
    Denmark, Nea - Järpströmmen between Sweden and
    Norway, South Link in Sweden and Skagerrak IV
    between Denmark and Norway and others.
  • Regarding the projects linking the Baltic area
    with the Nordic countries, as well as Poland, all
    identified interconnections NordBalt or the
    previously called SwedLit linking Sweden to
    Lithuania, Estlink 2 between Estonia and
    Finland and LitPol between Poland and Lithuania -
    are commercially viable. Strengthening the
    electricity grid between the three Baltic States
    belongs to this set of projects.
  • The interconnections between Poland and Germany
    form the third set of projects. The main driver
    behind these as opposed to market integration
    which is the case for the previous ones - is the
    loopflows caused by wind generation in the North.
    Initiatives launched by the European Coordinators
    Mr Adamowitsch with the so called 'heptalateral'
    Central Eastern Forum and Prof Mielczarski cover
    these projects.
  • Gas internal market and infrastructure
  • For infrastructure, the main driver is enhancing
    security of supply by aiming at a higher level of
    diversification of routes and sources. There is a
    good view on the potential projects that could
    satisfy this objective, which includes
    interconnections - new or implementation of
    reverse flow, LNG facilities as well as
    development of gas storages. It was agreed by the
    HLG to further develop the BEMIP gas sector
    aspects.

BEMIP (Action plan)
  • Action plan delivered
  • Joint declaration of the three Baltic States'
    Prime Ministers signed in Vilnius on April 27,
    2009 confirmed their political commitment to
    pursue real market opening and integration in
    electricity sector
  • Memorandum of Understanding on the Baltic Energy
    Market Interconnection Plan signed by 9 parties
    on June 17,2009.

Vision and Baltic Market design, 2015
  • Vision
  • Creation of Pan-Baltic single harmonized
    electricity market integrated with Nordic market
    and further on also with Central and Eastern
    European markets. Baltic market integrated into
    Nordic market through Nord Pool and Baltic Nordic
    interconnections infrastructure during 2009-2015.
  • Future market design at the common Baltic
    electricity
  • Nord Pool Spot Baltic with three bidding areas
  • Implicit auction between Baltic countries and
    towards Nordic Countries
  • Transparency according to the ERGEG's North
    European Electricity Regional Initiative
  • Harmonized imbalance settlement and imbalance
    pricing
  • Common reserves and balancing power market
  • Harmonized network tariffs for generators -
    structure and level
  • Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Finland have a
    common position and trading principles towards
    non EEA third countries
  • Baltic retail market
  • Market place financial trade
  • Target Baltic market design is consistent with
    the key elements of the Nordic market design

Final remarks
  • Monitoring of the implementation of the BEMIP has
    been contributed to the Commission first
    progress report will be presented to the High
    Level Group in December 2009.
