Urgent provisions concerning electricity import from France and Switzerland
The Authority for Electricity and Gas has conformed the procedures for the allocation of import capacity to the resolution of the Regional Administrative Court of Lombardia of 28/12/01, which has partially admitted the claims of Swiss electricity companies. The precautionary suspension concerns the allocation of 440 MW of interconnection capacity on the French-Swiss border that initially was exclusively assigned to Italian customers. Waiting for the definitive sentence, the Authority has decided to allocate on that border (through the pro-quota mechanism) a capacity reduced by 220 MW (proportional reduction of applications). |

Italgas fined 2,582 million euros for insufficient information and errors in billing
The Authority for Electricity and Gas has imposed a fine of 2,582 thousand euro (5 billion lire) on Italgas for omitting to indicate in round-up bills the dates of the last two readings to which the round-up consumption refers. The omission of the date prevents consumers from checking the sums demanded as round-ups. The distributor should also indicate the actual consumption to allow consumers to plan their gas consumption and to check on the frequency of the readings that distributors are required to carry out. Italgas will have to recalculate erroneous round ups because it has in general applied the tariffs in force at the time of the last bill issued instead of taking consumption and tariffs for the period between two meter readings. This meant that users were losing out on any savings they would have been entitled to in cases where the tariffs in force in previous bi-monthly periods were lower than those applied in the last bill issued. |

Provisional rules for the supply of the electricity despatch service and directive on withdrawal from supply contracts to customers of captive market
Resolution 317/01 defines the tariffs paid by producers and consumers which do not supply reserve services to TSO (GRTN) in order to balance the system. The resolution introduces the exchange contracts: these contracts has to be signed by each part of a bilateral contract with the TSO (GRTN) for the assessment of the settlement between inflows and withdrawals of electricity from the network. Furthermore the resolution establishes that captive customers may withdraw from their annual supply contract without any penalties until 1/1/02 if the contract includes a point of the grid which requires interconnection or CIP 6 capacity. |

Procedures and conditions for electricity imports for 2002 in the case of insufficient available transportation capacity, pursuant to article 10 (2) of the legislative decree n.79/99, and approval of the agreement between the Authority for Electricity and Gas and Commission de Regulation de l'electriciti on transport capacity allocation over the grid interconnecting Italy and France
Following the directions of the Ministry of Productive Activities the resolution defines the allocation of the interconnection capacities among Italy and neighbouring countries. The total capacity is divided among long terms contracts (2600 MW), capacity reserved to Switzerland, Austrian and Slovenian authorities (1300 MW), capacity reserved to interruptible eligible customers for the next three years (600 MW) and capacity reserved yearly to other eligible customers (1353 MW). In case of capacity scarcity, a pro-rata mechanism is applied to the requests. No company or group of companies can hold capacity rights above 10% on each frontier (North West and North East Pools). TSO (GRTN) has the power to organise a market for the secondary allocation of the capacities obtained by customers. By approving the agreement with CRE the resolution gives to TSO (GRTN) the right to manage the joint allocation of the total interconnection capacity with France, creating the first transnational market for the interconnections in Europe. |

Unified Code of The Authority for Electricity and Gas's provisions for the supply of electricity transport, metering and sale services
The Authority for Electricity and Gas sets out the new tariff regime for the transport and sale of electricity. The reform abrogates wheeling tariffs envisaged by resolution 13/99 and extends to all final customers the rules on transport tariffs for captive market set by resolution 204/99. In order to do this the resolution partially amends and reforms resolutions 204/99 and 205/99. The main elements of the reform are: 1)the reduction of user categories from 9 to 6; 2)the separation of tariff options for transport and tariff options for sale. The resolution keeps the structure of constraints introduced by resolution 204/99 for transport tariffs only and sets a new tariff (CCA) for sale services. As in resolution 204/99, for domestic customers a system providing greater protection is envisaged. |

Criteria to define gas transportation tariffs
Criteria to calculate the transportation and despatch prices on the national and regional gas network. The tariff on the national network is based on "entry/exit" prices for the booked capacity at the point of entry to pipelines and at the interconnection points with the regional networks, and on a fee for booked capacity on the regional network. The decree contains also a six-year programme of tariff incentives for new infrastructure investments; the return on the net invested capital is fixed at 7.95%. The same calculation method is set for LNG regassification plants (with a return on the capital invested of 9.15%). The price cap will stay into force for 4 years and will be adjusted annually. |
