Consultancy Support for Gas Transmission Tariff Design
Commission for Energy Regulation
The Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) is the independent body responsible for regulating the natural gas and electricity markets in Ireland.The CER has recently published a decision CER/12/087 which deals with the Regulatory Treatment of the Bord Gais Eireann owned interconnectors (the “ICs”) to Great Britain in light of new sources of gas coming on stream. It also provides for a general reform of the current transmission tariffing regime. The decision follows on from a comprehensive public consultation exercise which began in January 2011. The current transmission entry tariffing regime needs reform. Otherwise the reduced throughput across the ICs consequent on new sources coming on stream will increase the unit IC entry tariff required to finance these investments, and potentially significantly so. This higher IC entry tariff is likely to pull up the wholesale price for gas in Ireland from all sources on a scale which is inefficient and damaging to both consumer interests and Ireland’s energy competitiveness.
The CER currently requires consultancy support to develop a Long Run Marginal Cost (LRMC) tariff for entry points to the Irish gas transmission system, and also to attend an industry Networks Tariff Liaison Group to be chaired by the CER.
