Regulators propose changes for the TEN-E Regulation
The European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) and the Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER) have published today a joint paper including recommendations ahead of the upcoming revision of the Guidelines for trans-European energy infrastructure Regulation (TEN-E Regulation).
The proposals focus on infrastructure development governance, scope and process. The European Commission intends to review and to revise the Regulation before the end of 2020 as one of the initiatives of the European Green Deal and it is currently consulting with stakeholders and regulators. This paper serves as a response to the public consultation as well.
Based on the extensive experience on the benefits and shortfalls of the current TEN-E Regulation, national regulatory authorities (NRAs) and ACER propose legislative changes to improve the planning and implementation of electricity and gas infrastructure, aiming to make it streamlined, focused on sustainability and neutral both in terms of technology and potential conflict of interest.
In the paper, ACER and CEER propose specific recommendations in the following three areas:
-
governance of infrastructure development
-
scope of principles for Projects of Common Interest
-
TEN-E processes.

Implementation
Implementation
RfG Implementation
As the Regulations do not foresee approvals by more than one regulatory authority, the Agency will not be asked to adopt decisions when regulatory authorities cannot agree on terms, conditions and methodologies.
RfG Implementation
The Agency monitors the procedure of granting derogations from one or more provisions of the RfG Regulation.
The relevant regulatory authority decides which power-generating modules should be classified as an emerging technology. Any regulatory authority of the relevant synchronous area may request a prior opinion from the Agency, which shall be issued within three months after receiving the request. The decision of the relevant regulatory authority shall then take into account the Agency's opinion.
All regulatory authorities of a synchronous area may also decide in a coordinated manner to withdraw a classification as an emerging technology. Also in this case, the regulatory authorities of the synchronous area concerned may request a prior opinion from the Agency, which shall be issued within three months. Where applicable, the coordinated decision of the regulatory authorities shall take into account ACER's opinion.
Find out more on how national regulatory authorities implemented the transitional arrangements for emerging technologies in the Implementation Monitoring Report of the Network Code on Requirements for Grid Connection of Generators.
The accumulated sales of power-generating modules classified as emerging technology are also made available by the national regulatory authorities every two months.
Implementation
DCC Implementation
The Agency monitors the procedure of granting derogations from one or more provisions of the DCC Regulation. The Agency may issue a reasoned recommendation to a regulatory authority to revoke a derogation, in case justification is missing.
Implementation
HVDC Implementation
The Agency monitors the procedure of granting derogations from one or more provisions of the HVDC Regulation. The Agency may issue a reasoned recommendation to a regulatory authority to revoke a derogation, in case justification is missing.
