Measures for the promotion of competition and of efficiency in the electricity supply for 2005
Following the consultation document 23/11/2004, the Authority for Electricity and Gas defines few indices to be calculated in order to prevent and contrast the market power exercise. Through these measures, the Authority tries to avoid strategic subtraction of capacity and the setting of too high prices by relevant operators in each area. In case of market power exercise the operator is obliged for 30 days to bid at a fixed price for all its plants in all the hours of the day and will be paid at the bid price instead of the system marginal price. |

Quarterly adjustment for January-March 2005 of the electricity tariff's components and parameters and of the parameters Ct and Rt
The Authority has revised electricity tariffs components for the first quarter of 2005. The parameter Ct value is fixed at 4.121 eurocent/kWh. The efficiency parameter Rt has changed to 2,230 kcal/kWh from the previous value of 2,260 kcal/kWh. The natural gas index, used to fix the Ct parameter, is now computed by taking the value of the Saharan Blend and Zuetina crude oils published by the Platt's Oilgram Report if available. |

Instructions to Transmission System Operator (GRTN) for the adoption of the transmission and dispatch code according to the Prime minister decree of 11 May 2004
The Authority for Electricity and Gas gives has instructed the Transmission System Operator (GRTN) on the subject of drafting the "network code", which is the set of technical rules for connection, metering and dispatch that govern the transport and movement of electricity over the grid. The main purpose of the new directives is to adapt the rules to the imminent unification of the national transmission grid's ownership and management (Terna/GRTN merger); publication of the code is a basic prerequisite for that change, as it will help ensure neutrality and transparency in transport and dispatch services. In formulating the directives, the Authority took account of the problems encountered during investigation of the blackout of 28 September 2003. They provide for the unification and harmonisation of all rules issued since the advent of liberalisation, confirming the Authority's commitment to simplifying regulatory matters, including for the sake of easing new operators into the market and thus encouraging competition. The main matters faced in the Authority's directives are: 1) the service of connection to the national transmission grid, 2) the service of transmission, 3) the service of electricity dispatch, 4) the electricity measurement service, 5) the service of aggregation of electricity measures for the dispatch. |

The Authority for Electricity and Gas has decided on the natural gas distribution tariffs for the period 1 October 2004- 30 September 2008. The main changes with respect to the previous regulatory period are: the method used for the calculation of the starting value of the distribution revenue constraint which is now based on the value fixed for the previous thermal year adjusted to the new X-factor (RPo) value and the new rate of return on capital; the decrease in the allowed rates of return on capital which are set at 7.5% (compared to 8.8% for the previous regulatory period); the augmentation in the X-factor within the price cap which is fixed at 5% (it was 3%) but limited to operating costs and depreciation. In the new system it will be possible to calculate the tariff for each distribution area by applying an area-specific coefficient to a pre-defined tariff structure that is uniform throughout the country. |

Quarterly adjustment for July-September 2004 of electric tariffs components and parameters, of Ct parameter and modifications of the Unified Code
The Authority for Electricity and Gas has revised electricity tariffs for the third quarter of 2004. The tariff adjustment mechanisms were affected by the steep hikes in oil prices over the past three months, which drive up the cost of natural gas and of fuel for thermoelectric production. The Authority approved modifications of tariff components (VE, PC, CCA). The electricity tariffs for the residential sector will increase by 1.2% (national average 1.4%). The tariff revision also concerned some of the components covering general system expenses, which have been reformulated in line with the estimated revenue requirements for the coming months. |

Conclusion of the joint fact-finding enquiry by the Authority for Electricity and Gas and the Antitrust Authority concerning the liberalization of the gas sector started with the resolution 20 February 2003, n.13/03
The Authority for Electricity and Gas concludes the fact-finding enquiry, lead jointly with the Antitrust Authority, on the status of the liberalisation of the natural gas sector. It finds that the Italian gas market has been characterised by inadequate levels of competition and higher prices than those of the main European markets, in spite of having both one of the most advanced and pro-competition legislative frameworks in Europe, and costs for imported gas comparable with European averages. One of the main causes for this situation is the continuing dominant position of ENI at the supply stage. Possible actions to increase competition include: - the completion of new regassification infrastructure projects at Brindisi and Rovigo; - the up-grading by ENI of the TAG and TTPC international pipelines to enable new opportunities for the supply of Russian and Algerian gas by new operators; - the creation of an Independent System Operator (ISO), under wholly separate ownership from ENI. |

Revision of electricity prices for the captive market and for the despatching services
Due to the delay in the start of the power exchange, the Authority has decided to modify the electricity wholesale prices, net of fuel costs (in particular, rf and bf components), applied to the captive market and to the despatching services for the period from March to May 2004 (see resolution n.5/04). The reason is that the prices set in resolution n.5/04 combined with a mixed system of 2003 time bands (holding for January-March) and new time bands would have caused considerable increases in the yearly average price. |

Unified Code of Authority for Electricity and Gas's provisions concerning electricity transmission, distribution, metering and sale to the captive market services for the regulatory period 2004-2007 and provisions regarding connection fees
The Authority for Electricity and Gas has decided on the electricity tariffs for the transmission, distribution, metering and sale to the captive market services for the period 2004-2007. Main changes with respect to the previous regulatory period are: the method used for the calculation of the RAB which is now the historic cost revalued year by year; the increase of the value of the useful life of the grids, which implies lower annual allowed costs for depreciation; the increase in the allowed rates of return on capital which are set at 6.7% for transmission (plus a further 2% for new investments), 6.8% for distribution and 8.4% for metering and sale; the reduction in the X-factors within the price cap which are fixed at 2.5% for transmission and 3.5% for distribution; the introduction of a firm-specific equalisation mechanism to allow for the specific characteristics of the different distribution companies. The effect on the total tariff equates to a reduction of about 1% for 2004. |
