OPINION OF THE AGENCY FOR THE COOPERATION OF ENERGYREGULATORS No 08/2014
of 4 April 2014
ON THE NATIONAL TEN-YEAR ELECTRICITY NETWORK DEVELOPMENTPLANS PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 8(1 1) OF REGULATION (EC) NO 714/2009
THE AGENCY FOR THE COOPERATION OF ENERGY REGULATORS,
HAViNG REGARD to Regulation (EC) No 7 1 4/2009 of the European Parliament and of theCouncil of 1 3 July 2009 on conditions for access to the network for cross-border exchanges inelectricity and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1228/2003 ‘, and, in particular, Article 8(1 1) thereof,
WHEREAS:
(1) Article 8(1 1) of Regulation (EC) No 714/2009 tasks the Agency for the Cooperation of EnergyRegulators (“Agency”) with providing an opinion on the national ten-year networkdevelopment plans to assess their consistency with the Community-wide ten-year networkdevelopment plan (“EU TYNDP”).
(2) On 5 July 2012 the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity(“ENTSO-E”) published the first EU TYNDP pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 714/20092. TheAgency issued an Opinion on this EU TYNDP 2012 on 5 September 2Ol2. That Opinion couldnot include a consistency assessment of the national ten-year network development plans withthe EU TYNDP 2012 because, at that time, the relevant national ten-year network developmentplans were still being developed in most Member States. Since then many national plans havebeen finalised.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 714/2009 does not define the term “national ten-year network developmentplan”. Yet, Article 8(1 1) of Regulation (EC) No 714/2009 clarifies the meaning of “nationalten-year network development plan” when it considers “if such national ten-year networkdevelopment plan is elaborated in accordance with Article 22 of Directive 2009/72/EC”. Thisspecific reference to Article 22 of Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of theCouncil of 1 3 July 2009 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity andrepealing Directive 2003/54/EC4 implies that “national ten-year network development plans”,

pursuant to Article 8(1 1) of Regulation (EC) No 714/2009, cover not only the national ten-yearnetwork development plans elaborated by independent transmission operators in accordancewith Article 22 of Directive 2009/72/EC, but also other network development plans adopted atnational level, including those prepared by independent system operators or transmissionsystem operators. It is clear from Article 22 of Directive 2009/72/EC that the national ten-yearnetwork development plans of independent transmission operators shall indicate transmissioninfrastructure which needs to be built or to be upgraded over the next ten years to guarantee theadequacy of the system and the security of supply. A similar clarification by the legislator ismissing for other national ten-year network development plans. However, the Agency believesthat the aforementioned main purpose and key elements of national network development plansin Article 22 of Directive 2009/72/EC are of such an essential nature that they shall beconsidered as characteristic of any national ten-year network development plan within themeaning of Regulation (EC) No 714/2009. Accordingly, the Agency, for this Opinion, focusedits assessment on national instruments concerning the planning of new transmissioninfrastructures, and as such on the substance and not on the form of the national networkdevelopment plans. Thus, the Agency considered in this Opinion all relevant national planninginstruments, even if they were referred to with a different title, e.g. investment plan5, as“national ten-year network development plans” pursuant to Article 8(1 1) of Regulation (EC) No714/2009 (hereinafter altogether “national development plans”).
(4) National regulatory authorities (“NRAs”) have provided essential information for this Opinionby submitting information on national components of transmission investments6 to the Agencythrough an online data collection (completed on 14 February 2014) and by identifying some keyfeatures of their national development plans in responses to a questionnaire (completed on 26February 2014). This information is summarised in Annex I and in Annex II to this Opinion,respectively,
HAS ADOPTED THIS OPINION:
1. Introduction
In the Agency’ s view, the assessment of consistency of national development plans with the EUTYNDP may cover in principle three fundamental aspects:
. consistency of inputs;
. consistency of analytical methodology;
. consistency of outputs.
5 The Agency took also into account that in the European Commission “Proposal for a Regulation of the EuropeanParliament and of the Council Amending Regulation (EC) No 1228/2003 on conditions for access to the network forcross-border exchanges in electricity”, Brussels, 19.9.2007, COM(2007) 53 1 fmal, 2007/0198 (COD), it was proposedthat ‘The European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity shall adopt (...) a 10-year investmentplan’, with the same features that the EU TYNDP has, pursuant to the adopted Regulation (EC) No 714/2009.6 In this Opinion, “national component” means a national part of a transmission investment item (part of a line or cableinterconnecting two or more countries or a line or substation or other equipment geographically located in one country).
Page2of3ON5
ACERAgency for the Cooperationof Energy Regulators
The first two aspects are still under development at European level7 and therefore methodologiesfor the consistent elaboration of network development plans are not yet available. In the Agency’sview, without such EU-wide methodologies it is not ensured that the national development plansand the EU TYNDP 2012 have a common input basis and a common analytical methodology whichwould allow a reliable assessment of consistency of outputs.
Therefore, in this Opinion the Agency compares the national development plans with the EUTYNDP 2012 and outlines relevant (matches and) differences, but deems it appropriate to refrainfrom qualifying the differences as inconsistencies pursuant to Article 8(1 1) of Regulation (EC) No714/2009. In particular, the Agency has decided to focus this Opinion on the comparison of outputsof national development plans with:
. the main output ofthe EU TYNDP 2012, i.e. the list ofprojects ofpan-European significance inAppendix 1 of the EU TYNDP 2012 (and its further disaggregation into investment items8)(Section 3 ofthis Opinion);
. the further outputs of the EU TYNDP 2012, i.e. the features which are presented for eachproject or investment item ofpan-European significance (Section 4 ofthis Opinion).
The interaction between the national development plans and the EU TYNDP is relevant for thecomparison of outputs of national development plans with regard to those of the EU TYNDP 2012.Therefore, as a preparatory step for this comparison, the Agency first analyses this interaction(Section 2 ofthis Opinion).
2. The interaction between the national development plans and the EU TYNUP
With regard to the relationship between national development plans and the EU TYNDP, theAgency took into account:
. the process of interaction between the national development plans and the EU TYNDP, takinginto account the provisions of Articles 8(10) and (11) of Regulation (EC) No 714/2009 and ofArticle 37(1)(g) ofDirective 2009/72/EC, and
. the timing of preparation of the national development plans and the timing of preparation of theEU TYNDP 2012.
7 Such activities are ongoing, see ENTSO-E “Guideline to Cost Benefit Analysis of Grid Development Projects”, 14November 2013 and ENTSO-E activity (scenarios and visions) to prepare input data for the TYNDP 2014,https://www.entsoe.eulfileadmim’userupload/library/events/Workshops/CBA!l3 1 1 14_ENISO-E_CBA_Methodology.pdf.8 The comparison with regard to the TYNDP has been performed with reference to investment items, as disaggregatedin the ENTSO-E “2013 Monitoring update ofthe TYNDP 2012 Table ofprojects”, 1 July 2013, Annex 1 — Monitoringupdate TYNDP 2012 Table of Projects,https://www.entsoe.eulflleadminluseruploadllibrary/SDC/TYNDP/2012/1 3070 l_Monitoring_update_TYNDP_2012_Table_of_projects FINAL.pdf.

The process of interaction is graphically depicted in Figure 1 : the national development plans (inparticular, their “cross-border” part, coloured in light-blue in Figure 1) contribute as building blocksof the EU TYNDP, together with the regional investment plans and the regional and Europeanstudies performed in the EU TYNDP framework. The regional and European studies areparticularly focused on the investments which have a cross-border nature (interconnectors orinternal network elements which affect cross-border transfer capacities) and can identify improvedplanning solutions, to be included in the next national development plans (or in amended plans,coloured in green in Figure 1). The “internal” part of national development plans is updated overtime without interactions with other national development plans and the EU TYNDP (horizontaldashed blue lines in Figure 1).
After the preparation of the EU TYNDP, in the drafting phase of national development plans“succeeding” the EU TYNDP, the Agency and NRAs — according to their respective competencesand duties - assess the consistency of the national development plans with the EU TYNDP.Furthermore, the Agency and NRAs — again, according to their respective competences and duties -
can recommend amending the plans9.
9 iiis may recommend to amend (only) national plans.

While the process of interaction in Figure 1 is relatively simple, the assessment of the Agencyrevealed significant complexities due to the widely different timing of preparation of nationaldevelopment plans across the European countries.
Figure 2 displays the timing of publication of a (usually draft) national development plan by a ISOand of its submission to the national competent authority(ies)’°. When applicable, the nationaldevelopment plan “preceding” the EU IYNDP 2012 (coloured in blue) and the (first) nationaldevelopment plan “succeeding” the EU TYNDP 20 12 (coloured in green) are presented. The orangevertical lines correspond to the main milestones ofthe EU TYNDP 2012:
. publication of the draft EU TYNDP 2012 by ENTSO-E and its submission to the Agency for itsopinion (5 and 6 July 2012);
. publication of the Agency’ s Opinion, which did not recommend any amendments of the draftEU TYNDP 2012 (5 September 2012).
Considering that, currently, the very large majority of countries publish national development plans,the Agency deems that it is good practice to publish a national development plan”.
10 Publication and submission are in many cases at the same point in time. for a few countries, there is no submission toNRAs. In such cases, the date ofpublication is indicated.11 This is without prejudice to submission of any confidential additional information from a ISO to its NRA, pursuantto national legislations or regulations.

Figure 2 also identifies different frequencies in preparing national development plans (see Annex IIto this Opinion for more details), with the large majority of countries having either a yearly or abiennial frequency.
The Agency deems it necessary that national development plans are prepared at least every twoyears, in order to allow for consistency ofnational development plans with the EU TYNDP.
Furthermore, the Agency finds that about half of the 1 3 countries with a yearly frequency encounterdelays or difficulties in fulfilling the different steps of the process of preparation of the nationaldevelopment plan’2.
If difficulties are encountered with an annual frequency, the Agency recommends the relevantNRAs to examine the possibility to shift to a biennial frequency and to advise Member States about
12 The preparation of the national development plan can include: analysis and drafting by the ISO, consultation fromTSO and/or from NRA (when applicable), approval or opinion from NRA (as applicable), approval from Ministry(when applicable).

this possibility, according to the results of the NRA assessment. National development plans with abiennial frequency could be usefully accompanied by a monitoring update in the years when theplan is not prepared (similarly to the practice ofENT$O-E in 2013).
3. Comparison of investments listed in national development plans and in EU TYNUP 2012
3 . 1 Investment items in the EU TYNDP 2012 package (including Regional Investment Plans 2012)which are not included in national development plans
Based on the online data submissions by NRAs’3, the Agency identifies 5 1 national components’4of transmission investments in the ENT$O-E TYNDP 2012, which are not included in nationaldevelopment plans (see Table 1 in Annex I to this Opinion).
The reasons for non-inclusion are summarised by Figure 3 in Annex I to this Opinion. In general,the following (actual or potential) reasons have been detected:
. the investment is not included because the national development plan was prepared beforeENTSO-E TYNDP 2012;
. the investment is no longer included because it has been meanwhile commissioned;
. the investment is no longer included because it has been meanwhile cancelled;
. the (very long term) investment is not included because the timespan of the nationaldevelopment plan is shorter than the one of ENT$O-E TYNDP 2012;
. the investment is not included because its voltage level is not considered in the nationaldevelopment plan;
. the investment is not included because it does not fulfil another criterion for inclusion in theplan;
. the third party projects (TPPs) are normally not included in the national development plan’5;
. the investment is not carried out by the TSO and it relates to a non-T$O network;
. there is no agreement on the investment among neighbouring TSOs;
. the initiative under consideration did not (yet) become a planned investment;
. the investment is likely to be part of a wider reinforcement project, but it is not explicitlymentioned in the national development plan.
Furthermore, the Agency identifies 24 national components’6 of transmission investments in theENT$O-E Regional Investment Plans 2012, which are not included in national development plans(see Table 2 in Annex I to this Opinion).
13 When possible, the comparison has been performed between the EU TYNDP 2012 and a national development plan“succeeding” EU TYNDP 2012.14 This figure includes 8 investments in Germany which have been proposed in the draft plan of 2013, but were notapproved by the German NRA.15 This is the case for one investment included in the EU TYNDP (as TSO project), currently being considered as thirdparty project.16 Also the previous 5 1 national components of the EU TYNDP are included in the ENTSO-E Regional InvestmentPlans 2012. The additional 24 national components are investments which are not included in the EU TYNDP 2012.

ACERAgency For the Cooperationof Energy Regulators
The reasons for these differences are summarised by Figure 4 in Annex I to this Opinion.
The Agency considers it as important that ENTSO-E and its TSO members take into account thefindings presented above in their upcoming preparation of the draft EU TYNDP 2014. In particular,considering the diverging or missing information in the NRA assessment of interconnection lines,ENTSO-E should carefully study the following investments:
. 1 6.3 8 Gatica (ES) - Aquitaine (FR);
. 23 .60 under consideration (FR) - under consideration (BE), updated in 201 3 as AvelinlMastaing(FR) - Horta (BE);
. 26.66 Prati di Vizze (IT) - Steinach (AT);
. 27.A96 New interconnection between Italy and Slovenia, updated in 2013 as Slovenia (SI) —
Salgareda (IT);. 3 5 . 1 3 8 tbd (CZ) - South-Eastern 50 Hertz (DE);. 381 Visaginas (LT) - Liksna (LV).
Out of the 75 (5 1 and 24) national components identified above, 24 were not included in nationaldevelopment plans because of cancellation and 12 were not included because of commissioning.Further analysis reveals that only about half of the national development plans list investmentswhich were present in the previous national development plan and are commissioned or cancelledbefore issuing the next national development plan (see Annex II to this Opinion for more details).
In line with its Opinion on the EU TYNDP 2012 and the remarks on cancelled projects providedtherein’7, the Agency considers that full transparency on the evolution of investments should beprovided in national development plans, especially on cancelled investments. It is thereforeimportant to keep the commissioned and cancelled investments in the national development plan
(for one subsequent edition) too. The reason for cancellation should be displayed for eachinvestment.
Finally, the Agency observes that in a few cases - in particular for investments under consideration -
the EU TYNDP 2012 did not provide details or sufficient clarity in investment descriptions, forexample substations t.b.d. (to be defined).
This is acceptable when studies for the investment are still ongoing. However, this approach cancreate difficulties in assessing the consistency of investments and in future monitoring of theirimplementation.
Therefore, the Agency believes it is important that, as soon as an investment under considerationdevelops, complete descriptions are provided in the concerned national development plan(s) and inthe EU TYNDP.

3 .2 Investments in national development plans which are not included in the EU TYNDP 20
In the EU TYNDP 2012, none of the 5 TPPs having applied for inclusion met the criteria set out byENT$O-E, thus none of these TPPs has been taken into account during the development of the EUTYNDP and has been included in the table of projects’8.
Based on the online data submissions by NRAs, the Agency identifies 1 0 TPPs which are included(or at least referred to) in national development plans. These TPPs are listed in Table 3 in Annex Ito this Opinion.
Further analysis reveals that only few national development plans occasionally present TPPs (seeAnnex II to this Opinion for more details). In its Opinion on the EU TYNDP 2O12’, the Agencyemphasised the importance of ensuring equal treatment of TSOs’ projects and TPPs and, inparticular, recommended ENT$O-E to add in an appendix of future EU TYNDPs all the TPPswhich have applied for inclusion and to explain how they are treated in the EU TYNDP.
Similarly, the Agency deems it as useful that appendices are included in national development plansto provide information to stakeholders about non-TSO projects (as long as they had at least oneinteraction, for instance for connection, with the relevant TSOs). This inclusion would also allowimplementing the provision of Article 3(6) of Regulation (EU) No 347/2013 of the EuropeanParliament and of the Council of 1 7 April 2013 on guidelines for trans-European energyinfrastructure and repealing Decision No 1 364/2006/EC and amending Regulations (EC) No7 1 3/2009, (EC) No 714/2009 and (EC) No 7 1 5/200920, which requires proj ects of common interest
(including non-TSO projects) to become an integral part of national network development plans andother national infrastructure plans concerned, as appropriate.
furthermore, the Agency identifies 5 national components2’ planned by T50s22 that are notincluded in the EU TYNDP 2012 (see Table 4 in Annex I to this Opinion).The Agency deems it as critical that ENTSO-E and its TSO members consider these investments intheir upcoming preparation ofthe drafi EU TYNDP 2014.
4. Consistency of investment descriptions in national development plans
The EU TYNDP 2012 makes use of a project number (for each project of pan-Europeansignificance) and of an investment number (for each investment item).
The Agency believes that such practice can facilitate the assessment of consistency and themonitoring of investment implementation. Therefore, the Agency believes it is appropriate that a

The investment interconnects the distribution system of Malta with Sicily region ofItaly.

coding system (unique for each investment) is adopted in each national development plan.Furthermore, it is appropriate that each national development plan includes a mapping presenting,for those investments that feature also in the EU TYNDP or in Regional Investment Plans, a cross-reference between their codes in the different plans.
The EU TYNDP 2012 presents a summary table with project-by-project information, including23:
. expected commissioning date;
. present investment status;
. grid transfer capability increase;
. project costs.
The analysis of the Agency revealed that the large majority of national development plans provideinformation on commissioning date and on investment status. The majority of national developmentplans provide information on net transfer capacity (“NTC”) increase resulting from an investmentand on investment costs (see Annex II to this Opinion for more details).
The Agency therefore deems the systematic publication of the following information for eachinvestment item in the national development plans as a good, TYNDP-consistent practice:
. commissioning date;
. investment status;
. increase of net transfer capacity (only for investment with cross-border nature, i.e.interconnectors or internal network elements which affect cross-border transfer capacities);
. cost.

Annex II — Summary of NRA responses on national development plans
Responses
28 responses (AT, BE, CY, CZ, DE, DK, EE, EL, ES, Fl, FR, GB, HR, RU, IT, IE, LI, LV, LU,MT39, NL, NO40, PL, PT, RO, SE, SI, 5K) were received by NRAs.
No response was received from BG and NI.
Frequency of publishing the national development plan
14 countries publish the national development plan on a yearly basis, while 8 countries do it on abiennial basis (see table below).
AT DK BE(4years)cy Fl ES (4 years)cz NL PL(3years)DE NO EE (no pubi.)EL PT LU (no pubi.)FR RO MT (no TSO)

__________ ___________
However, in several cases the collected responses exhibit delays or difficulties in the stages ofpublication and approval of the national development plan, thus causing a deviation compared tothe declared (annual or biennial) frequency of publication of the national development plan.
Time horizon of national development plans
The time horizon of national development plans is 1 0 years for the large maj ority of countries (24out of 27). Some of these national development plans (CZ, FR, IE, SI) include, as an exception, fewinvestments with a commissioning date beyond the time horizon. This may be the case for projectswhose construction start during the time horizon and whose commissioning is shortly after the lastyear covered by the national development plan. Other practices were reported in Denmark (20years), Norway (20 years, with more details for the 1 0 year period) and Spain (6-1 0 years).
Status of investments in national development plans
for the large majority of countries, the national development plan includes investments which are:
39 Malta has no ISO and no national development plan.40 The Norwegian NRA participated in the framework ofthe Agency cooperation with NRAs ofEU Member States.

. under construction;
. planned;
. under consideration (under study).
However, in three countries investments under consideration are not included in the nationaldevelopment plans.
Approximately a half of the national development plans (AT, BE, DK, ES, FR, HR, HU, IE, IT,NL, PL, PT, RO) list investments which were present in the previous national development planand are commissioned or cancelled before issuing the national development plan. The other nationaldevelopment plans do not.
Third party projects in the national development plan
9 national development plans (EL, Fl, FR, GB, IT, LV, NO, SE, SI) include or refer to third-partyprojects, either on ad-hoc or on systematic basis.
Commissioning date and status
26 (out of 27) national development plans provide the commissioning date and 23 provide the statusof the investment (exceptions: LU for ‘commissioning date’ and HU, LU and PT for ‘status’information; ES provides progress status through biennial monitoring documents).
Increase of net transfer capacity
The majority of national development plans (14 out of 26) provide information on NTC increaseresulting from an investment (see table).
