1-4 Consumers’ Expectations

IEF – Accenture market survey conducted in early 2001

51 large electricity and/or natural gas consumerSectors: metallurgy, metall processing, chemical/pharma industry, food industry, transportation, packaging, building material, power plants, utilities, etc.

(charts: electricity on the left, NG on the right)


1-4 Survey (1) Starting dateConsumers would like to see the earliest possible date, which allows a well-based market opening up.

• 1 January 2002 for electricity (with no reservation)

• the earliest date to achieve price advanteges and quality improvement

• 1 January 2002 for natural gas too (but following accelerated preparation)

• the earliest date to achieve improved quality and eventual price advanteges

1-4 Survey (2) Short-term electricity pricesMajority prognosticates price decrease between 0-15% on short-term.

• in real terms, incl. inflation, price rises for primary energy sources, and network fees

• more pessimistic, than the preliminary modelling suggested (15-40%)

May 2000 Draft Act debate halted in the Parliament

October 2000 MEA/HEO information on the market opening up(>19 GWh/yr » 2002. I.1.)

September 2001

New draft submitted

18 Dec. 2001 New Electricity Act (>30%? » 2003.I.1.)


2-2 Act No. CX of 2001 on Electricity

A framework lawRTPA, ISO, HEO, dual market, balance groups, import limits

150 MW

450 MW


3-3 Domestic CapacitiesLimits to market opening:

Regulated generation prices till 2004 Gridlocked PPA portfolio Import limitation (50%) till EU-accession Potential import refusal + ATC issues

Fair competition rules and network access, without real supply choice ?Actually available: 300 MW (from which competitive: 200 MW)


3-4 (Future) Capacities

Import ATC auctions (by MAVIR ISO) Domestic capacities:

already marketable (partially competitive) renegotiated PPAs (hardly) MVM auction sales of unnecessary (for public purposes) power

Capacities should catch-up with demand


3-5 Demand Side

Eligible consumers:

> 6,5 GWh/year = cca. 300 companies

(33%)

> 100 GWh/year 20 companies (20%)

> 10 GWh/year 140 companies (10%)


3-6 Contracts Power (commodity) contracts

non-scheduled full supply non-scheduled partial supplies schedule based

Balance Group contract Network access & usage contracts

Switching: 30 days termination notice until 1 July 2003, then 6 months – co-operative former suppliers

IPP (40 MW) + partial supply contracts with Entrade in February

Hungarian Aluminium (750 GWh) two plants – two contracts with E.on from March

GE Lighting (180 GWh) full supply for 6 plants with MVM Partner from April

Ózd Metallurgy (300 GWh) imports on its own
