1. Capacity Reservation for the new Production Units WG BG is preparing a Recommendation “Réservation de capacité des unités de production” - AS IS situation - Capacity reservation when Connection request (request detail study) & Production license obtained
- Analysis (main points) - Need for a capacity reservation, at the right moment for the producer and for Elia, aligned with decisional plannings (and holds) - Problematic of parallel requests - Process for obtaining the Production License (View on it, FIFO?, Advice Elia with conditions,…) - Connection contract with ‘suspensive’ conditions - Vacuums due to 2 separate legislations with only 1 intersection - Current wording brings confusion (« reservation » and « attribution »)

1. Capacity Reservation for the new Production Units - Principles of the proposal - Alignment of the investment decisions related to the production unit with the connection process and capacity reservation - Orientation & detail studies unchanged ; validity detail study extended to 3 months - « Engineering & Permitting » can be ordered separately and temporizations between phases is possible - Connection contract and capacity reservation at Financial Investment Decision - Need to revalidate the connection conditions before ordering the next phase - Elia takes engagement (connection + grid reinforcements) also when signing connection contract - Online publication per post of a photo the available capacity and sum of the capacities aimed by projects - Independent from the production license - Possibility to order the full realization (// today = Engineering & Permitting » + realization itself) + to sign connection contract + to get capacity reservation after the detail study Reservation = attribution, at the signature of the connection contract 25.05.2012 Aueur changer dans le masque des diapositives

1. Capacity Reservation for the new Production Units Discussion on adding a framework for the temporization within realization: Discussed earlier within the workgroup but re-wished by EDORA-ODE Conditions on permits can be bi-directional
New proposal / option : - starting point for temporization = external element, coming from a public authority and impacting the project specifically - assimilation of this event to “force majeure” and definition of new reasonable timings and modalities for the realization - + impact on connection contract (f.i. article 7)

2. Closed distribution systems In addition to 3 meetings WG BG, specific meetings with ad-hoc WG ‘CDS’ (= most interested parties) (7/5, 22/5, 1/6)
Discussions on several practical/model aspects & contractual documents -
Way of dealing with ARP busy in a CDS : - nominations - future of specific Elia access products in a CDS: no need anymore (each ARP independant, thanks to CDS notion & ‘virtual’ access point CDS) - Clarification of relations between Elia, CDS network operator and suppliers - Allocation process : what to do ? By whom ?
Discussions on contractual documents - access contract + new annex 14 - ARP contract - modifications to Federal Grid Code
Position Paper Users’ Group « relatif à la mise en œuvre opérationnelle du concept de Closed Distribution systems au niveau du réseau d’Elia » - still On hold 25.05.2012 Aueur changer dans le masque des diapositives

3. European Network Codes “connexion” Two Network Codes in the pipe for WG Belgian Grid: - final ENTSO-e Draft « Requirements for grid connection applicable to all Generators » - ENTSO-e Draft « Demand Connection Code » Presentation of the NC: evolution of the drafts end 02/2012 - NC ‘Requirements for Generators’ : final draft available Issues discussed: scope of ‘XB issues’; requirements based on level of tension connexion; level of applicability of the NC RfG to existing units and derogations process (general and particular) -
NC ‘Demand Connection Code’ : draft not yet available at that time, presentation based on known ideas before formal consultation Issues discussed : requirements on reactive power; requirements on demand side management; services systems preferably done by the TSOs (and not the market)
