Med-TSO Mediterranean Transmission System Operators ENERGY TRANSITION & POWER SYSTEMS INTEGRATION Angelo Ferrante Secretary General Pathways to regional energy transition in the Mediterranean area - Abu Dhabi, 9 September 2019
Med-TSO & the multilateral cooperation Albania - OST Algeria – SONELGAZ, GRTE, OS Croatia - HOPS Cyprus – Cyprus TSO Egypt - EETC France - RTE Greece - ADMIE Israel - IEC Italy - TERNA Jordan – NEPCO Libya – GECOL Morocco - ONEE Montenegro - CGES Palestine - PETL Portugal - REN Spain - REE Slovenia - ELES Tunisia - STEG Turkey - TEIAS • 21 members from 19 Mediterranean countries • About 500 million people served • Almost 544.000 MW installed capacity • Around 400.000 km transmission lines • More than 1,600 TWh electricity consumption 2
The Regional Energy context Med basin: one of the most sensitive areas to climate change All countries involved in the energy transition Growth of demand Integration of TSOs called to & investments in PS no longer an adapt to this gas & RES (*) option new context Reinforced cooperation within the interconnected power systems (*)often limited by market fragmentation 3
Electricity cons. growth in the Med area(*) Average growth rates (2016-> 2030) strongly contrasted From 1,100 to 1,200 TWh (+9%) From 350 TWh to 550 TWh (+55%) From 150 TWh to From 250 TWh to 350 TWh (+130%) 600 TWh (+140%) 2030 2016 +45% 2,700 TWh 1,850 TWh (*) Source Med-TSO «Mediterranean Project 1» 4
Power Gen perspectives in the Mediterranean Increase in generation capacity from 250 GW to 400 GW ( 40% to 60% from RES ) 5 (*) Source Med-TSO «Mediterranean Project 1»
Exploiting PS complementarities ▪ Seasonal (North/South) & hourly (East/West) complementarities ▪ Structural differences in the generation mix ▪ Interconnections are key for complementarities (pooling resources) The current limited and inefficient interconnection level is a barrier for enabling energy transition in the region 6
Fostering market integration Physical connections (HW) • Shared scenarios • Agreed planning methodologies & CBA • Sound & Transparent Legal HV Network development Framework for investments key enabler for power system integration & market (*) implementation Interoperability (SW) for new & existing interconnections • Harmonized security criteria and rules (Technical Network Codes) • Operation Coordination • Technology development (*)“market”: increase energy exchanges based on complementarities and shared resources 7
Med-TSO current workplan (MP1 & 2) Scope: improve the integration of the Mediterranean PS • How to optimize the use of the existing interconnections • Assess the possibility to build new lines Core activities • Common technical rules for accessing the grid, operating the systems and sharing resources ( Mediterranean grid code ) • Mediterranean Masterplan • Common web platform on transparency and technical data Bottom-up EU support : MP1 and MP2 approach 8
The Mediterranean Master Plan 2018 • Network studies, within the Mediterranean Master Plan, evaluate the technical feasibility of new interconnection capacity verifying that the increased flows maintain the system in security conditions. • 14 interconnection projects identified and assessed 18.000 MW 16.000 new interc. MEUR capacity investments 9
Med Grid Code & zonal approach 10
Implementation of a zonal approach (ongoing) 11
Institutional Partnership Supporting Med-TSO work programme Med-TSO active stakeholder in REM Platform Cooperation framework since 2014 Long-term joint cooperation agreement since 2017 Synergies to be explored in the frame of UfM Harmonization of activities as much as possible 12
