Overview of the European Electricity Industry before liberalization
Definitions, historical steps, objectives / general energy policy
Focus on international experience Costs, benefits and impacts of liberalization• Electricity prices, market opening costs,• energy efficiency investments,
employment, • cross-border transmission and quality of

sector 2003 - New electricity Directive
Implementation steps• 1999 - 26%• 2000 - 28%• 2003 - 33%• 2007 - 100%
The EU Directive of opening the marketHistorical steps
of national electricity consumption liberalized

Three main objectives of the EU energy policy:• security of supply• economical efficiency • protection of the environment
Objectives of the liberalization:• improve efficiency + productivity• positive results on end-users + environment• prices decrease• security of supply
The EU Directive of opening the marketObjectives

European pioneer (1983 - 1989)
NETA (New Electricity Trading Agreement)• goal of 50% price reduction• bilateral agreements
Concentration => vertically integrated companies
110 000 jobs lost between 1990 and 1995
Benefits breakdown (billions of pounds)• Government +1.2 to 0.4 • Shareholders +9.7 to 8.1• Consumers -1.3 to 4.4

1998 - fully opened market no deep structural reform price decrease• 20% for industry• 5% for residential
Employment decline• 18 000 jobs 1993-1997• 64 000 jobs 1997-2000
reduction of the market actors only 0.1 to 0.5% of foreign producers

1992 - Federal Power Act => FERC authority to deregulate 1994 - liberalization process launched by the PUC 1996 - Californian Power Exchange 2000 - Electricity crisis with rolling blackouts 2001 - 10 billion USD needed to cover the fixed tariffs
contracts
small generation margin degradation of the reliability decrease of energy efficiency investments (1993-2000)
Regulatory agency created + price caps re-introduction

Costs, benefits and impactsCross-border transmission capacities
fully opened market high capital intensity and long horizon need for energy demand forecasts and planning
markets dominated by strong national players in 2004, only 10.7% of the electricity consumption
was exchanged between the 22 countries energy efficiency needed, education programmes “the European market will not exist” J.Syrota 2003

Costs, benefits and impactsQuality of supply
Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER):• continuity of supply
• voltage quality
• commercial quality Liberalization / environmental improvements:
conflicting targets Increased competition and risk => lower costs security of supply: long term investments production planning

Conclusion
Growing electricity - worrying issue Mismatched liberalization targets:• price decrease did not occur• lack of long term investments in energy efficiency• lack of new generation plants / transmission lines• no physical European market
Strong political strategy of reducing the energy consumption• Networks regulators• independent body agencies
