Following the rejection of a significant number of applications for compensation of expenses for the supply of natural gas (bonus gas) due to differences between the categories of gas use declared in the applications and those resulting in the files of the distribution companies, the Authority orders an investigation to ascertain the alignment of the databases of the distribution companies and the sellers (which seem to be the principal cause of the rejection of the applications) and the immediate update of the data if necessary. In cases where a difference between the use categories declared by domestic customers in their applications and that found in the distributor’s database remains after the alignment of the databases, and where that is the only reason for not granting the bonus, a prudentially calculated compensation is nevertheless recognised. |

Criteria for the determination of credits due, pursuant to article 2 of Decree Law No. 72 of 20th May 2010, to operators of plants or parts of plants recognised as “new entrants” in accordance with article 3, paragraph 1, letter m) of Legislative Decree No. 216 of 4th April 2006 which have not received free-of-charge CO2 emission quotas.
In accordance with Art. 2, paragraph 2 of Decree Law No. 72/2010, the Authority determines the credits due to operators of plants (or parts of plants) recognised as “new entrants” under the European “cap and trade” mechanism for emissions permits. More specifically, the credits are equal to the product of the quantity of the quotas due to those with the right to them, determined by the National Committee for the Management and Implementation of the Emission Trading Directive No. 2003/87/EC, and the value of the quotas, calculated as the average weighted on the total quantity of EUA certificates traded on markets and for the reference products, the value of the arithmetic averages of the daily closing prices of the EUA certificates of each of the same markets and products. The Authority has therefore identified the markets and the reference products for the calculation of the quotas for 2009 and 2010 and will define the markets and reference products for subsequent years in later provisions. |

Authentic interpretation of Resolution No. 229/01 of 18th October 2001 relating to tariff equalisations and payments by instalments of gas sales.
The Authority furnishes an authentic interpretation of article 10 of Resolution No. 229/01 of 18th October 2001 relating to tariff equalisations and payments by instalments for gas sales. More specifically the Authority specifies that the article also applies to tariff equalisations, including those generated by any resolutions to approve and modify tariffs which implement decisions made by the courts and that paragraph 6 is to be interpreted in the sense that if the conditions apply, an operator must allow end user customers to pay on the basis of an instalment plan, with non cumulative instalments and with the frequency the same as that of invoicing unless agreed otherwise by the parties involved. End user customers therefore have the right until 30th September 2010 to request the renegotiation of the conditions of the current instalment payment plan with their supplier, if the frequency with which payments of instalments is made is different from that with which the customer is invoiced. |

Transition provisions relating to payments for the provision of electricity metering and distribution services for very high voltage users with nominal voltage between phases of higher than 220 kV.
Following the appeal No. 560/2008 to the Lombard Regional Administrative Tribunal by the company Acciaieria Arvedi S.p.A. and the consequent ruling by the Lombard Regional Administrative Tribunal concerning appeal RG No. 515/2010, the Authority issues temporary provisions, as a partial exception to the corresponding provisions of paragraph 5.1 and article 7 of the transmission code, applicable from 1st January 2008, concerning the payments for the provision of electricity transmission and distribution services for very high voltage users. The Authority has also decided not to act in relation to the responsibility for the measure, considering the uncertainty over the final solution that will arise when the court proceedings are concluded and as a transitory measure it confirms the responsibility situation provided for by article 21 of the transmission code. Finally the Authority has decided that the lower revenues generated by distribution companies as a result of the application of this provision shall be compensated for under the general equalisation procedures reported in the transmission code. |

Determination of tariffs for maritime services relating to the thermal year 2009-2010 for the company Terminale GNL Adriatico Srl, to implement Authority for Electricity and Gas Resolution No. 92/08 of 7th July 2008.
The Authority sets tariffs for maritime services for towage and moorage for the thermal year 2009-2010, providing an appropriate mechanism to guarantee revenues which will ensure that regasification companies are able to cover fixed overheads. The payment is set at €151,175.44 per mooring. For updating purposes the difference, if any, is used between revenue earned by the companies to cover fixed costs, equal to the actual number of moorings times € 37,807.21 per mooring and the fixed costs of €151,175.44 per mooring. The annual average change in consumer prices for the families of manual and office workers will also form part of the updating calculations. |

Provisions concerning payments at redelivery points with natural gas supply contracts containing interruption clauses and dual fuel powered industrial plants pursuant to article 18, paragraph 6 of Authority for Electricity and Gas Resolution No. 166/05 of 30th July 2005.
On the basis of data on gas interruptions requested and actually performed during the emergency of the winter of 2005-2006, the Authority introduces a 15% threshold for interruptions not performed and establishes that for the thermal year 2005-2006 only, the companies responsible for failure to perform interruptions equal to or less than 15% of the value requested are not required to pay increases nor do they benefit from the reductions in unit outlet payments and the CRr component provided for in the case of interruptions. The transmission company will therefore pay, in the cases indicated, and within 90 days, an amount equal to the increase in the transmission prices paid but not due for the failed interruption of withdrawals up to the threshold mentioned. |
