Quarterly adjustment for January-March 2003 of electric tariff components and parameters
The Authority publishes the quarterly adjustment of electric tariff components PG, PGT, CCA, PV due to variation in the Ct parameter (variable unit allowed cost of electricity produced by thermoelectric plants using commercial fossil fuels), and the values of components VE, A and UC. The Ct parameter for the period January-March 2003 is equal to 4.106 Euro cents/kWh. The PG parameter is set at 6.165 Euro cents/kWh. The increase in international fuels prices during the period June-November 2002 has caused a rise in the Vt parameter (unit allowed cost of fuels), but the appreciation of the Euro over the Dollar has helped in containing the electric tariff. On average, the rise in the electric tariff is 2.5%. |

Recovering of extra wholesale costs raising from the implementation of art.11 of Bersani's Decree
The art.11 of Bersani's decree n.79/99 requires all producers from conventional fossil fuel sources and importers, with an annual electric flow higher than 100 GWh, to introduce every year (starting from 2002) in the system electricity from renewable sources for an amount of at least 2% of their own production or imports recorded in the previous year. The amount of green energy can be purchased in the Italian Green Certificates Market. The Authority has introduced a new tariff component, VE, for the captive market allowing for the recovering of these purchasing extra-costs sustained by producers and importers and then charged to retailers or distributors with regard to the electricity volumes the latter sell to the captive customers. For the first quarter, the component VE amounts to 0.09 Euro cents/kWh. |

Methods for the revision of the energy component of the gas tariffs, following law n.238 of 28 October 2002, and modifications of other resolutions
The Italian government freeze on gas prices has expired at the end of November and the revision of the tariff mechanism comes into effect with resolution n.195/02. Under the new price mechanism, gas supply tariffs to the captive market can only be reviewed and altered on a quarterly basis and not every two months, as is presently the case. Increases in gas tariffs will be based on average changes in international prices in the nine months leading up to the quarter in question rather than six months. Finally, the invariance threshold remains unchanged at 5%. In accordance with the new method, gas tariffs will remain unchanged in December with respect to the values set in July (resolution n.122/02). The variable cost-component Qe, representing the gas procurement for distributors linked to the wholesale gas markets, is stable at 0.3151 €cents/MJ (12.139 €cents/mc). |

Methods for the revision of electricity tariffs components, following law n.238 of 28 October 2002, and modifications of other resolutions
The Italian government freeze on electricity prices has expired at the end of November and the revision of the tariff mechanism comes into effect with resolution n.194/02. Under the new price mechanism, electricity tariffs to captive market can only be reviewed and altered on a quarterly basis and not every two months, as is presently the case. Increases in electricity tariffs will be based on average changes in international fuel prices in the six months leading up to the quarter in question rather than four months. Finally, a higher invariance threshold is set (3% instead of 2%). In accordance with the new method, electricity tariffs will remain unchanged in December with respect to the values set in July (resolution 123/02): the Ct parameter is equal to 3.941 Euro cents/kWh, whereas the PG parameter is set at 6.00 Euro cents/kWh. A and UC components values remain those of the bimester March-April (resolution n.24/02). |

Methods and conditions for the assignments of the transport capacity for electricity import, export and transit through the national transmission grid on the north frontier for the year 2003
The Authority defines the rules for the allocation of the interconnection capacities among Italy and neighbouring countries. The total capacity is divided among franchised market (2255 MW), capacity reserved to Switzerland, Austrian and Slovenian authorities (1500 MW), capacity reserved to interruptible eligible customers (1200 MW of which 600 already allocated last year) and capacity reserved yearly to other eligible customers (1445 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. The capacity right will be lost by the operators which use less than 80% of their availability. TSO (GRTN) should organise a secondary market, both monthly (or weekly) and daily, for the adjustments between operators, new capacity that could become available during the year, spot quantities. Following the agreement with CRE the allocation of the total interconnection capacity with France is managed jointly by TSO (GRTN) and RTE. |

Bimonthly adjustment for July - August 2002 of electric tariff components and parameters
The Authority publishes the bimonthly adjustment of electric tariff components PG, PGT, CCA, PV, due to variation in the Ct parameter (variable unit allowed cost of electricity produced by thermoelectric plants using commercial fossil fuels), and the adjustment of components A and UC. The Ct parameter for the two months July - August 2002 is equal to 3.941 Euro cents/kWh (+8.2%). The PG parameter is set at 6.00 Euro cents/kWh. No changes are set for the components A and UC whose values remain those of the last bimester. Hence, the electric tariff for the summer will be much higher essentially because of the rise in international fuels prices during the period February 2002 - May 2002. |

Recommendation of the Authority for Electricity and Gas to the Government and the Parliament concerning the bill AS1149 about measures to foster private enterprise and competition
In relation to the electricity sector, the bill AS1149 establishes that in order to maximise the use of interconnection capacity, the Ministry of Productive Activities can assign the transportation capacity on the interconnection lines to final users either subscribing real time interruptible contracts or assuring, on the basis of long term contracts, the use of at least the 80% of yearly capacity. Moreover, the bill states that bilateral supply contracts corresponding to this capacity allocation are authorised by the Ministry with a derogation to the power exchange system. The Authority for Electricity and Gas underlines that on the one hand the provision hurts the independent regulatory functions, on the other, it introduces not transparent and potentially discriminatory allocation mechanisms in contrast with the provisions of the European Union proposal of amended directive 96/92/CE. |

Adoption of transitory conditions for the supply of the electricity despatch service
The resolution concerns a transitory economic settlement (within the transitory regulation of despatch service) of electricity balancing and exchange for the despatch service provided by the TSO (GRTN). Due to delay in the drawing up of the exchange contract and since the deadline for the payment of the exchange charges is expired, the Authority establishes the payment of an interest rate on these charges (art.3(1)). Moreover, before the communication system of inflows and withdrawals programs is implemented, the Authority envisages the payment on account of a share of balancing charges (art.3(2)). |

Bimonthly adjustment for May-June 2002 of electric tariff components and parameters
The Authority publishes the bimonthly adjustment of electric tariff components and parameters gamma, PGT, CCA, PG, PV, due to variation in the Ct parameter (variable unit allowed cost of electricity produced by thermoelectric plants using commercial fossil fuels), and the adjustment of components A and UC. The Ct parameter for the two months May-June 2002 is equal to 3,641 Euro cents/kWh. The PG parameter is set at 5,698 Euro cents/kWh. A and UC components remain unchanged. The increase in international fuels prices (December 2001-March 2002) has caused a rise in the Vt parameter (unit allowed cost of fuels) and, as a consequence, an average rise in the electric tariff of 1,4%. |

Determination of transfer prices of electricity produced by hydroelectric plants with power of up to 3 MW, pursuant to article 22 (5) of the law n.9/91 and article 3 (12) of the legislative decree n.79/99
The Authority determines the transfer prices of energy produced by hydroelectric plants with power of up to 3 MW (which are not included in the Cip6/92 provision) and sold to the TSO (GRTN). These new prices are valid for all hydro plants including the hydroelectric fluent plants formerly regulated by resolution n.82/99. The resolution sets different prices for plants which are not able to modulate the produced energy within the time bands F1, F2, F3 and the time band F4 (the definition of time bands is set in the provision Cip45/90) and those plants which are able to modulate production. |

Conditions for the supply of the connection service to electric lines with nominal voltage higher than 1kV
The Authority has supplemented the regulation on electricity network access by setting the rules for requesting and implementing new connections. The provision concerns in particular the connection of new or repowered generating plants (for which at present there are connection requests for more than 100,000 MW) and of industrial consumption sites. The aim is to facilitate the construction of new power plants and to enhance competition. Requesting parties must pay a fee for the technical analysis of the new connection and may be asked to give a bank guarantee. Finally, requesting parties may implement directly the connection on the basis of the technical specifications defined by the network operator. |

Conditions for the identification of joined production of electricity and heat as cogeneration, as provided by art.2 (8) of the legislative decree n.79/99
The resolution sets the criteria for acceding to the benefits envisaged by the electricity and gas liberalisation decrees for cogeneration plants. The Authority establishes that, in order to access those benefits, cogeneration plants are those satisfying two conditions: an index of energy saving of 10% for each new section of the plant (8% for repowered sections, 5% for existing sections) and at least the production of 15% of heat on the aggregate (heat and electricity) produced energy. The resolution differentiates the way in which these indicators -energy saved and quantity of heat produced- are applied on the basis of parameters such as the size of the plant section and the type of fuel used. In this way the Authority takes into account the difficulty of applying the same incentive criteria to plants which vary greatly in terms of technology and size (and, as a consequence, performance). |

Modification and integration of resolution n.317/01 providing provisional rules for the supply of the electricity despatch service
The Authority for Electricity and Gas completes the transitory electricity despatch regulation into force until the start of the bidding system. In particular, resolution n.36/02 regulates the economic settlement relative to the exchange of electricity. In order to guarantee greater flexibility to operators, the Authority envisages: the possibility of compensation through the transfer between operators of electricity belonging to different hour bands (new article 7 (4)); the possibility of compensation of the economic balances' sum relative to a two-months period with the balances' sum of the following two-months period (new article 7 (4.1)). |

Criteria to define gas storage tariffs
The Authority for Electricity and Gas approved criteria to calculate storage tariffs for firm and interruptible annual service. The storage tariff will reflects fixed an variable cost and will be composed by three parties: two fixed components (annual reserved capacity and peak withdrawal capacity) and one variable component (calculated on quantities injected and withdrawn). The return on the net capital invested is fixed at 8,33%.These criteria will be applied by Eni's storage affiliate Stoccaggi Gas Italia. To enhance competition in the storage activities new entrants will not be obliged to apply regulated tariffs. |

Bimonthly adjustment for March-April 2002 of electric tariff components and parameters
The Authority for Electricity and Gas publishes the bimonthly adjustment of electric tariff components PG, PGT, CCA, PV, due to variation in the Ct parameter (variable unit allowed cost of electricity produced by thermoelectric plants using commercial fossil fuels), and the adjustment of components A and UC. The Ct parameter for the two months March-April 2002 is equal to 3,514 Euro cents/kWh. The PG parameter is set at 5,571 Euro cents/kWh. The decline in international fuels prices (October 2001-January 2002) has been offset by an increase in the A3 component covering renewable and assimilated sources incentives (Cip6) so that the electric tariff remains stable. |
