Co‐operation of DSOs to promote the completion and functioning of the internal market in electricity and to promote optimal management and a coordinated operation of distribution and transmission systems.

The DSO Entity is an expert entity working for the common European interest, it shall not represent particular interest nor seek to influence the decision making process to defend certain interests.

EU DSO Entity purpose

Representation: Directly or through national association (designated by the Member State) or union level association.

Membership fee:According to the number of connected customers.

a) promoting operation and planning of DSO networks in cooperation TSOs;

b) facilitating the integration of renewable energy resources (including storage);

c) facilitating demand side flexibility and users access to markets;

d) digitalization of DSO systems (smart grids and smart meters);

e) supporting the development of data management, cyber security and data protection in cooperation with relevant authorities and regulated entities;

f) participating in the elaboration of network codes which are relevant to DSO grids and where relevant in cooperation with TSOs;

Tasks

EU DSO Entity (1/6)

EU DSO Entity main tasks

• DSOs and TSOs shall cooperate in planning and operating their networks. They shall exchange all necessary information and data regarding, generation assets and demand side response, the daily operation of their networks and the long‐term planning of network investments.

• TSOs and DSOs shall cooperate with each other in order to achieve coordinated access to resources such as distributed generation, energy storage or demand response that may support particular needs of both the distribution system and the transmission system.

TSO – DSO cooperationNetwork codes and guidelines

• The Commission may adopt implementing or delegated acts. Such acts can either be adopted as network codes on the basis of text proposals developed by the ENTSO‐E and / or EU DSO entity in mutual cooperation with ACER.

• If the subject‐matter of the network code is directly related to the operation of the distribution system and not primarily relevant for the transmission system, the Commission may require the EU DSO entity in cooperation with the ENTSO‐E to convene a drafting committee and submit a proposal for a network code to the agency.

EU DSO Entity (4/6)

Scope of Task Force’s work: Last January, 4 EU DSO associations signed a MoU and kick off

meeting with the EC.

Interpretative document to be sent to EC (March) with questions and suggestions on Electricity Regulation.

TF works on issues which must be tackled internally without prior consultation of EC.

Updated statutes in line with Regulation and elaboration of other deliverables, some of them in consultation with ENTSO‐E and other relevant stakeholders.

EU DSO Entity (5/6)

RESOLUTION TO BE TAKEN BY E.DSO BOARD OF DIRECTORS (FOR DECISION):• The Policy Committee, having been tasked by the Executive Committee to

provide its view on the document at hand, recommends that the Board endorses this memo, in particular the points outlined in section 3 (proposal for enhanced governance).

• Furthermore, the Board should give an official mandate to E.DSO to represent its interests vis‐à‐vis the European Commission in meetings that concern the EU DSO Entity in the way as outlined in section 3.

• The Board should task the E.DSO secretariat with preparing a draft for an updated MoU for the 4 associations that reflects the changes stipulated in section 3 of this memo.

• Different options should be investigated by the E.DSO secretariat, and where applicable with the help of E.DSO members, for creating a joint fund in order to cover the running expenses, as described in point 7 of section 3.

Resolution on DSO Entity (6/6)

Item 5. Electricity Market Design

Electricity Market Design: final outcome

• Electricity Regulation• Network tariffs (Art.16)• DSO entity (Art.49‐51)• DSO/TSO responsibilities on network codes and data management (Art.27, 51, 54, 55)

• Electricity Directive• Active customers (Dir. Art.15)• Smart metering provisions (Dir. Art.19‐21)• Data management (Dir. Art.23)• Interoperability requirements and procedures for access to data (Dir. Art.24) • DSOs’ tasks in data management (Dir. Art.34)• TSOs’ tasks in data management (Dir. Art.40) • DSOs’ tasks in flexibility (Dir. Art.31, Art.32) • Demand response through aggregation (Dir. Art.17) • DSO storage ownership (Dir. Art.36) • Restriction of new DSO activities (Dir. Art.31.6) • Citizens energy communities (Dir. Art.16) • DSOs’ roles in EV charging infrastructure (Dir. Art.33)

Key DSO provisions

• No full‐fledged harmonisation of data formats but rather definition of interoperability requirements by ENTSO‐E • ENTSO‐E to promote digitalisation, cyber security and data protection and EU DSO entity to support these • Network codes can be based on text proposal from ENTSO‐E or, where so decided, from DSO entity in cooperation with ENTSO‐E (common drafting team)

DSO/TSO resps on NCs & data management (Reg. Art.27, 51, 54, 55)

• What does ‘promoting operation and planning of distribution networks in cooperation with opera on and planning of transmission networks’ mean? → what are the exact tasks or objec ves of DSOs (EU DSO) and TSOs (ENTSO‐E) in this regard?

• How do the EU DSO and ENTSO‐E organise among themselves the convention of a drafting committee, the work on network codes, the adoption process within their respective associations and reaching common agreement, and the submission of codes? Do both have to agree? What if one disagrees? Whose view takes precedence?

• Do the mentions of digitalisation, cyber security and data protection mean that network codes on these topics are expected?

• Member States setting up rules for access to customer data by eligible parties; must be GDPR compliant • Various data management models possible in different Member States, but data managing parties must grant non‐discriminatory access to eligible parties • Appointment of compliance offers within data managing parties • No additional costs for customers to access their data or make it available • Member States ensure that costs charged by regulated entities are reasonable and justified

Data management (Dir. Art.23)

• What is an eligible party? This is still not entirely clear. Does GDPR compliance mean that you need active customer consent in order for data to be shared with specific parties? If so, how does this go together with non‐discriminatory and simultaneous access for eligible parties?

Interoperability requirements and procedures for access to data (Dir. Art.24)

• No harmonisation of data formats but interoperability requirements, compliance with which is monitored by Member States

• Data management, incl. development of data management systems, cyber security, data protection mentioned as TSO tasks• Data Exchange of all necessary information and coordination with DSOs• In Member States with smart meter roll‐out and where DSO are involved in data management, they must have compliance programmes that specify how non‐discriminatory data access for eligible parties is ensured

TSOs‘ and DSOs’ tasks in data management (Dir. Art.40 & 34 resp.)

• While the Directive clearly specifies for vertically integrated undertakings falling above the de minimis threshold that compliance programmes need to be in place, it does not specify how Member States should ensure non‐discriminatory conduct of vertically integrated undertakings below the threshold. How can it be ensured that there is no misconduct?

• DSOs encouraged to procure flexibility if more cost‐efficient that standard grid re‐enforcement (only non‐frequency services) • DSOs (and TSOs) define flexibility market products • Obligation of DSOs to produce network development plans every two years; NRAs can request amendments

DSOs’ tasks in flexibility (Dir. Art.31, Art.32)

• Some DSOs in the EU operate peak shaving schemes through remotely operated household appliances – in return for different distribution tariffs prices. This is based on bilateral contracts with customers with no other party (aggregator) involved. The package is not clear on whether this solution might be preserved even under new condition and if it can be considered as marked based product. Will it therefore still be possible? Or could an exemption under Art.31.6 of the Directive apply?

• DSOs not to own and operate storage but two exceptions apply: 1)market failure (market parties could not be awarded with the right because they cannot deliver timely and cost‐efficiently) and NRA has given approval; 2) if storage is an integrated network component and NRA has given approval • NRA market test every five years • Phase‐out of DSO activities within 18 months if market test positive

DSO storage ownership (Dir. Art.36)

• Limitation of DSO tasks to what is specified in Regulation and Directive but Member States can allow other activities • Multi‐utilities can continue owning and operating different networks (electricity, gas, telecommunications, etc.)

Restriction of new DSO activities (Dir. Art.31.6)

• New name: ‘local energy communities’ ‘citizens energy communities’ • Member States decide on: cross‐border participation possible or not; right of CEC to own, establish, purchase or lease distribution networks and manage them • Voluntary membership; customers remaining connected the distribution grid cannot be discriminated by CEC • Where CEC operates distribution network it is subject to same rules and regulation as a DSO • Can conclude agreement with DSO about operation of their network

Citizens energy communities (Dir. Art.16)

• Can DSOs be forced to lease out or even sell parts of their networks to CECs? • What does the possibility of cross‐border participation mean in reality, e.g. CECs as virtual

communities? Any problems associated with that? • It is stated that network charges should take into account electricity fed into the distribution grid

from the community grid and vice versa (suggesting volume), but what about capacity considerations?

THE BIG PICTURE OF THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ENERA MARKETPLACE – IN A NUTSHELL

51

Enera is a Single Buyer MarketOnly DSOs and TSOs are allowed to procure flexibility on the local enera marketplace. No direct local trades between othermarket actors.

The enera market is based on existing Intra‐Day Market processesTrades start at 15.00 (D‐1) and it is allowed to trade until 5 minutes before delivery. Analog to Intra‐Day Markets products for15 Minutes and 1 hour are traded.

A distinction is made between RES flexibility and conventional flexibilityThis is done with regard to regulatory obligations to grant priority dispatch on feed‐in from RES in Germany.

On the marketplace no energy is tradedOn the enera market only delivery obligations are traded which means that the provider of flexibility is obliged to change hisplanned schedule. This is the reason why imbalances of the provider are settled within the energy only market.

The responsibility for imbalances stays in the domain of the provider of flexibility and the balancing responsible party

Trade is done when congestion is expectedAs in Intra‐Day Markets a continues trading on the enera market is possible. But the grid operators will only use the marketplace if congestion is expected.

Item 12a. Platform Strategy –Objective

Request official mandate for Policy Committee from BoDFormation of a small Task Force developing a framework concept for aggregation mechanisms based on evidence gathered from different Member States.Expressions of interest to participate in the Task Force can be made at the meeting or via email to the E.DSO secretariat ([email protected])

It is expected that “#platforms” will become a mainstream topicon the agenda of the EU Commission from 2019 Q3 onwards

Who will be in the driver seat on this topic: ENTSO‐E or E.DSO (or jointly)?It is expected that for DSOs there will be a window of opportunity during H1 2019We distinguish between two separate issues that are both strategically relevant right now and can be picked up by the Policy Committee:

1) Flexibility aggregation platform (regulated domain) 2) Data management

1) Flexibility aggregation platform

Context and problem definition* 1. Today in Europe, many market actors (including DSOs and TSOs) have started to

consider and/or to develop platforms for trading and procuring flexibility. Therefore, it is relevant to also address flexibility and active system management from this perspective.

2. However, market model options have not been selected and the way that TSOs and DSOs implement their mutual coordination is not yet fully clear.

3. It is necessary to come to a definition of platforms, to define the options and to identify the implementation issues.

4. The objective is to start to understand the possible relationships between market models and coordination options with these platforms. Making the right choices may lead to very effective TSO‐DSO coordination solutions, whereas misaligning choices may lead to very complex and costly solutions.

• Market Platform• Receiving and accepting bids• Merit order• Validation and settlement

• Buyers co‐ordination• Grid prequalification• Product prequalification• Forecasting• Aggregating and manifesting demand for flexibility

• Data exchange• Functionality to ensure no harmful impact

Commercial and Regulated Domain

Platform Options1. Option A: DSOs and TSOs interact via their own separately developed platforms (D‐CM, T‐CM,

BAL platforms) with FSPs in the market, directly or via market trading platforms (e.g. in the day‐ahead or the intraday timeframe). Coordination between TSOs and DSOs is realised by direct information exchange between these platforms.

2. Option B: DSOs interact with FSPs in the market directly or via market trading platforms through their own separate platform (D‐CM), and the TSO uses the balancing platform also for T‐CM. Coordination between TSOs and DSOs is realised by direct information exchange between these platforms.

3. Option C: DSOs and TSOs interact with the market via a combined platform for D‐CM and T‐CM, through which TSO‐DSO coordination for congestion management might also be realised(e.g. algorithms to avoid conflicts and double‐dispatch of flexibility). TSOs operate a separate platform for BAL. Coordination between TSOs and DSOs is realised by direct information exchange between the balancing and congestion management platforms.

4. Option D: TSOs and DSO interact with market FSPs or market trading platforms via a joint platform for D‐CM, T‐CM and BAL. This platform could still consist of decentralised TSO and DSO data requirements and a defined and secured data exchange.

• Network Code on demand response, including aggregation, energy storage, and demand curtailment rules

• Based on EG3 report• Important principles in the TSO/DSO report on Active System Management

• Definition of options and identification of issues

• Recommendations (Best Practice)

• Markets and products for flexibility organised on an MS level

• Technology• Hardware• MS‐specific solutions to be implemented

European and Member State Framework

Member States agreed “common framework” at EU level

Best Practice PerspectivesRecommendation how TSO and DSO should co‐operate in defining the interface between the commercial and regulatory domain (which could include good practices for the API).

Understand what is required for platforms to work together: Data security/security standards – DSO accountability and consequences in each scenario. Role of DSOs in local/national platforms : possible participation in governance. Data format and types of data : minimum requirements to allow cross analysis and European wide benchmarks

Work with industry to understand requirements for the commercial domain and how grid operators could help facilitate this, e.g. by communication interfaces.

2) Data management

Data Collection and Storage = DSO

Data Platform Operator = DSO‐ Open data (energy mix, consumption level, load

profiles…)‐ Close data : grid operation data / info, building

consumption data…

Data Platform Operator : local authorities / consortiums‐ Open data (energy mix, consumption level, territory vision)

Data Collection and Storage = TSO

Data Platform Operator = TSO

Additional issue: Data Management

Trends• Data=new gold: access to data=access to customers & markets• Accessibility & sharing of data is going to be addressed in a generic way (cross sectoral) at national and EU level

• GDPR compliancy is transforming a supplier centric market model to a customer centric market model

Challenges• How to define, implement and govern a generic data access and sharing framework ?

• How will DSO’s ,TSO’s & markets exchange data in such a framework irrespectively whether the data is in a datahub or locally stored?

Needed• Definition of the framework at EU level, choices & implementation at MS level

• TSOs and DSOs in MS closely working together on these implementation issues

(TSO DSO) Data Management

Source:

A European communication about principles of aggregation mechanisms to be implemented in the Member States. This might include the following:

• Defining the interface between the commercial and regulatory domain (which could include good practices for the API) and disseminate this interface to the market to ensure a level playing field. The aim should be to identify synergies and commonalities which might be exploited at the European level.

• Understand what is required for mechanisms to work together at a distribution and transmission level aiming to learn from best practices and agreeing on EU common practices, where relevant.

• Work with industry to understand requirements for the commercial domain and how system operators could help facilitate this, for example by sharing of data and defining the communication interfaces.

A clear perspective on the reasons why certain mechanisms are to be preferred over other arrangements.Results to be delivered before summer 2019.

Platform Strategy: Deliverables

Platform Strategy/concept for an aggregation mechanism

Resolution of the Board of Directors (for decision):

E.DSO’s Board endorses this concept note and gives a mandate to the Policy Committee to elaborate a more detailed concept for an aggregation mechanism already in the first half of 2019. The concept should then possibly be presented at the next June 2019 Board of Directors meeting. A small task force should be established with volunteers from E.DSO’s members, under co‐ordination of the Policy Committee.

WHAT

HOW

A mainstreaming of the concept sustainable finance with the purpose to support the long‐term strategy of carbon neutrality by 2050
