REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
THERE ARE STILL SOME GAPS IN THE LEGISLATION CONCERNING THE OPEN MARKET
Energy Law 2003 and amendments from Sept. 2006:
Dominant role of PUBLIC PROVIDER (NEK) as a hidden “SINGLE BAYER” Eligibility is a matter of choice Unclear difference between protected consumers and eligible customers, no clear function of public supplier / end supplier, purchase from the producers side still under regulations.
Market rules
– not changed significantly since 2004, at the moment there is a proposal for changes in the Market Rules, however the changes are concerned to keep the regulated market which is full contradiction to market opening approach.
Grid Code
– contradiction between central dispatch and liberalized market.
Quota mechanism
Provider
-
generators are obliged to sell most of their production to the Public 6
CROSS-BORDER CAPACITY MARKET
FIRST CROSS-BORDER TENDER ORGANIZED BY ESO IN OCTOBER 2007 LIMITED NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS DUE TO TWO MAIN REASONS: a) Lack of power on the BG market (due to high regulated quotas) b) Power companies can NOT export it due to the Criteria in art. 3 according to which traders can NOT export more than 25% of their sales portfolio on the open market.
This eliminates all new market participants and puts a “Chinese wall” for the current ones.

VISION FOR ELECTRICITY MARKET PROGRESS
1. PRODUSERS / WHOLESALE
Allow power plants to sell at freely negotiated prices to cover costs and to increase availability of power on the open market; Suspension of the “quota mechanism”; Development of market for
“System services”
(primary, secondary regulation, etc.)
2. MARKET MODEL -> CREATE SHORT-TERM MARKET
Switch from week ahead to day ahead – key factor for optimization and lower risk Create Power exchange or OTC to show market reference price Introduce Balancing groups - optimize costs and implement standard products.
3. CROSS-BORDER CAPACITY MARKET
Equal access for all market participants to the cross-border capacity
4. TRANSPARENCY AND ACCESS TO INFORMATION
Equal access for all market participants to the information for production, end users demand, cross-border trade, ect.

CHALLENGES TOWARDS BULGARIAN ENERGY SECTOR
1. PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF EU DIRECTIVE 87/2003
National Allocation Plan /NAP/ 2007 and NAP 2008-2012 have been significantly reduced by European commission NATIONAL REGISTER FOR TRADING WITH ALLOWANCES NOT OPERATING YET FUTURES PRICE FOR CO 2 ALLOWANCES FOR 2008 RICH 23 €/ton
2. INCENTIVES MODEL FOR RENEWABLES
The present incentives model is unfair to regional “end suppliers” and customers The high priority for connection of renewable power plants leading to conflicts within DISCOs and TSO
3. GAP BETWEEN BULGARIAN AND REGIONAL ELECTRICITY PRICES
