Refocusing on regional cooperation
Electricity Market Day 5 April 2016Jukka Ruusunen, President and CEO, Fingrid Oyj
Three levels in decision making
NationalEuropean Regional
Regional decision making today
Transmission system operators• Electricity market development in
cooperation with Nord Pool• Cooperation in power system
operation 24/7• Development of the transmission grid
Political decision making• Nordic structure exists• Content: "political support" for regional
cooperation
The Nordics: Organisational setup
A Nordic Advisory Board – bringing the stakeholders better together?

Transmission system operators have agreed a common strategy
System operation Market facilitation
System development
New technologiesCommon tools
Highly efficient and secure Nordic green
power system
Ensuring a future robust Nordic power system1
Maintaining current high level of security of supply2
Market to better support the adequacy3
Empowering consumers4
Strong Nordic voice in EU5
RSC is a service providerRegional Benefits
• Transmission capacity and security of supply calculation
• Coordination of outages
• Short term adequacy analyses
• More efficient use of transmission capacity
• More efficient recognition of security of supply risks
• Transmission system operators are responsible and decide
• RSC is not a regional control center
Regional cooperation in system operationRegional Security Coordination (RSC)
Regional cooperation in system operation
Nordic RSC will be established in Copenhagen• Operations start by the end
of 2017• ”Joint office" -model• About 10 people.
Regional Security Coordination (RSC)
Re-evaluation of yearly maintenance andoutage practices
Strengthening anddevelopment of
own HVDC-knowledge
Enhanced disturbance clearing including
backup from Fingrid's and service providers'
experts
New maintenance contracts with service
providers
Improving availability of HVDC connections
Goal: operating model that answers to the system and market
challenges of four HVDC connections
!BUT:
Actions of transmission system operators is not enough!
Energy political decision making lacks the regional dimension
We must aim for Nordic andBaltic Sea solutions
In a common market you cannot make
functioning energy policy from a national
perspective only!
Commission has emphasizedthe significance of regional
cooperation as part ofEuropean development
In a common market the impacts of
national energy policies cross country borders
We need a strongpolitical commitment
for regional goals
Suggestion from the Nordic transmission system operators to develop regional cooperation
"Nordic Advisory Board”• Politically chaired• Wide participation from stakeholders• Regional harmonization of the main
principles in national energy policies Do we continue with the market based
approach? Subsidy schemes for renewables Possible capacity mechanisms Regional infrastructure projects
NationalEuropean Regional
• Emissions trading scheme, European goals for renewables
• Main principles of the electricity market
• European infrastructure projects
• Renewable energy support schemes
• Capacity mechanisms• More detailed
electricity market rules• Regional infrastructure
projects
• Energy mix• Energy taxes
The three level model is developing – next step?
Fingrid Delivers. Responsibly.
