  2. NW Gas Regional Initiative • Regional Initiatives • Started Spring 2006 • Practical bottom up approach to reform • Engage all stakeholders • North West Region • Nine Members (+ Norway) • Majority of European gas trade and consumption • Transparency • One of three priority areas • Transparency • Capacity • Investment Objective: overcome barriers to gas trade between Member States on a non-discriminatory basis

  3. Participating TSOs Denmark France Ireland Netherlands Germany Belgium ? United Kingdom Sweden Northern Ireland

  4. Context – original information wish list • Gas Flows • Daily flow and interruptions • Daily prompt allocations • Daily aggregate day-ahead nominations • Historic gas flows • Transmission Capacity • Max technical capacity • Interruption probability • Daily commercial firm and interruptible capacity Gas Flows Agreed as priority areas Transmission Capacity Gas Quality Important areas for future focus Gas Balancing Supply and Demand focus on prioritised subset of information

  5. Interconnection Points 128 Interconnection Points 95 Public 33 Confidential (?) EC Law: Less than three shippers; can request authorisation from NRAs not to publish information 3rd package amendment Greater information transparency at “confidential” interconnection points? IMPACT OF LESS THAN THREE SHIPPER RULE ON PROJECT

  6. TSOs committed to milestones

  7. Implementation schedule Example: 25% of TSOs already provided aggregate daily flow and interruptions (F1), by December 2008 100% of TSOs should provide this info

  8. Implementation progress: May 2008 MIXED PROGRESS: ON TRACK IN 3 BUT BEHIND SCHEDULE ON 4

  9. Max technical capacity (C1) ALMOST ON TRACK: ONLY ONE TSO LEFT TO IMPLEMENT

  10. Probability of interruption (C2) BEHIND SCHEDULE: 6 TSOs TO IMPLEMENT BY SEPTEMBER

  11. Daily commercial firm and interruptible capacity (C3) ROUGHLY ON TRACK: ONE TSO IMLPEMENTED EARLY ONE TSO FAILED

  12. Daily flow/aggregated allocation (D+1) (F1) BEHIND SCHEDULE: 4 TSOs TO IMPLEMENT BY SEPTEMBER; 3 BY DECEMBER

  13. Daily prompt allocation information (F2) ON TRACK: ALL TSOs NOW REPORT TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION

  14. Daily aggregate day ahead nominations (F3) BEHIND SCHEDULE: 3 TSOs PROVIDE NO ANSWER ON IMPLEMENTATION

  15. Historic gas flow database (F4) ON TRACK: 5 TSOs STILL NEED TO IMPLEMENT THIS INFORMATION

  16. TSOs that report new information release

  17. Key issues Implementation accuracy • At which interconnection points will the relevant data be published? • Are the definitions for each data type appropriate? • Has there been any further progress since May? User views • Network user feedback on accessibility and usefulness of the data • Improvements to project management and reporting • Any other key issues? TSO feedback • Reasons for delays in releasing new data • Re-confirmation of implementation commitment

  18. Next Steps • First implementation report and press release published: 25 July 2008 • Publication draft second progress report: 07 November 2008 • North-West Region Stakeholder Conference in London: 14 November 2008 • Deadline for implementation: 31 December 2008 • Final project report/workshop: Early 2009
