Non-energy costs in Europe are here to stay...
BUT...
there are possible actions to mitigate them at least partially
European policy & economic realities
Sustainability Security
of supply
Competitiveness
• Kyoto protocol
• National RES subsidy
schemes
• ETS
• Does one
undermine the other?
• 20-20-20 targets
• From a sustainability
policy perspective
natural gas appears to
be the ideal “bridge”
technology
• Is nuclear really
sustainable?
• Growing dependency
on imports of fossil fuels
• Ageing infrastructure
• Increase in intermittent
output from RES
• Need for efficient and
flexible power plants
• Does the market send
the right signals
for much needed
investments?
• Need for smart grids,
which support
decentralised power
production
• Can Europe pay the
price for necessary
investments and
sustainable development
whilst keeping energy
prices affordable and
retain key industries
within its boundaries?
• Europe has to compete
with other regions for
“allocation” of fuels e.g.
oil, LNG, etc.

Grid investment Supply Policy
Dutch electricity and
natural gas grids well
interconnected with
neighbouring countries
•Significant imports from
Germany (RES)
•Imbalance
risks and
congestion
make further
380 kV grid
investments necessary,
albeit on a far smaller
scale compared to
Germany
•Considerable new
generation coming
on-line
•Large fleet of installed
centralised CCGTs
•Large coal fired plants
along the coast
•Profitability of many
plants at risk
•Little political support
for capacity market
•NL benefit hugely
from rapidGerman RES
development
•The largest “Dutch”
generators are not
actually Dutch
•No significant support
for large-scale RES
projects
•Netherlands are not on
course to meet Kyoto
GHG reduction targets
•A self-
imposed 2020
target of 6
GW of wind
capacity (on-
shore) looks
ambitious but achievable
• Moderate long-term
RES subsidies available
…if the underlying issues are quite similar?
How and why does the situation in the Netherlands differ…

• REB: Discount on
highest tax band (REB)
via energy efficiency
benchmarks (MJA)
• REB: households and
cooperatives are eligible
for netting consumption
vs. production even for
off-site generation from
Jul-13 (up to 5 MWh/a)
• Other: No other
discounts e.g. on ODE
• CHP
• Avoid T&D costs and
taxes & levies on every
MWh produced
• Under current market
conditions new CHP
projects take long to
amortise
• Feasibility depends
very much on individual

• Timing for new projects
may prove crucial

Mitigating Costs

Conclusions
Markus Kraus
EU Operations Manager, EnergyQuote JHA
Ask an Expert
• Europe is not one homogeneous area in terms of
non-energy cost. Every single one of the 28 member
states has introduced national regimes, schemes, etc.
• Non-energy costs can be very high, sometimes
higher than the actual commodity price, and often
offer more opportunities for cost optimisation than the
area of actual procurement (markets, suppliers, etc.).
• Local knowledge is required to get the best out of
each and every market.
• In order to obtain certain rebates/discounts/
exemptions, the involvement of 3rd parties may
become necessary (e.g. lawyers, auditors, etc.).
• Some non-energy costs can be forecasted relatively
easily, whilst others are more difficult to budget for
effectively.

Brazil’s power prices are volatile and driven by the rain...
BUT...
there are mitigation strategies to help manage your exposure
Managing Brazil’s
High Volatility Power Market
Brazilian Power Market
Open Market Entrance Barriers
• Open market represents 25% of
Brazilian power consumption and
around 60% is based on primary
and secondary industry sector.
• Free consumers represents
23% of Brazilian power
consumption and can procure
power produced by any source.
• Special consumers represents
2% of Brazilian power
consumption and receives a
50% or 100% discount on the
Distribution System Tariff.

Short Term Market Price (PLD)
• Spot prices are highly volatile and don’t provide a
clear economic signal for investors.
• Hydro systems are designed to ensure load supply
under adverse hydrological conditions, which occur
very infrequently.
• Most of the time there are temporary energy
surpluses, which result in very low marginal costs.
• In a very dry period, spot prices increase sharply.
20. 21
• yearly inflow occurs between
January and April.
• The National Interconnected
System (NIS) inflow was below
the historical average between
Ago/12 and Mar/13.
• From April to May the NIS inflow
decreased from 110% to 85%.
• Reservoirs has allowed the integration of renewable
electricity sources with seasonal production patterns.
• Due to environmental concerns, Brazil has been
projecting smaller hydro plants reservoir over the
years.
• The relationship between storage capacity and
consumption will decrease in the next years.
• Probability of ration plan is very small in 2014.
In April the inflow was above the average in the NIS
NIS stored energy has been the lowest for the last 10 years
22. 23
• Brazilian spot prices are very volatile and are driven
by the rain.
• Thermal generation will remain high.
• Considering the reservoirs levels and thermal
availability the probability of arationing plan is very
small in 2014.
• Quantify changes in PLD methodology is
impossible.
• Impacts in long term prices depends on the PLD
methodology.
• Lack of liquidity in power market, due to the high
volatile in spot prices and uncertain in PLD new
methodology.
Negotiations are basically over-the-counter

Open Access Charges
Conclusions
Open Access Example
Additionally, consumers have to fulfill the renewable
purchase obligation, by purchasing a share of the
electricity from renewable generation.
5. WRLDC and SRLDC have to ascertain
transmission adequacy in their regional transmission
systems
6. All concerned require common understanding on
treating/sharing transmission losses and levy on
transmission/wheeling charges for the use of
intra-state and inter-state systems.
• Connectivity charges
• Transmission charges and losses
• Wheeling charges and losses
• Cross subsidy surcharge
• Local distribution company charges
Reform
good on paper, poor in practice
Infrastructure
investment required in generation
capacity, transmission and
distribution
Competition
cross-subsidies and non-cost
reflective tariffs constrain
market development
1. The company and distributor have to agree on
terms and conditions of sale
2. The company has to get the consent of MSEB and
“no objection” of MSERC
3. Distributor has to get consent of APTransco and
“no objection” of APSERC
4. MSLDC and APSLDC have to ascertain
transmission adequacy, and agree to metering,
scheduling, accounting and settlement
A company in Maharashtra wanting to sell 100 MW to a distributor in
Andhra Pradesh has to meet the following steps:
In addition to the power purchase cost the following costs are levied:

The export of natural gas presents a potential rebalancing agent…
BUT…
the delta between U.S. and EU/Asia prices continues to shrink

Pipeline Exports to Mexico
With production booming in Texas, natural gas exports to Mexico
have nearly tripled from 2007 levels
• New pipeline projects under construction
would nearly double export capacity to Mexico
• Norte Crossing project has already been completed,
adding 0.37 Bcf per day of capacity
– or nearly 10 percent of 2012 levels
• Mexican production has remained stagnant,
but the nation hopes to develop
potential shale resources in the future
46. 47
Conclusions
•The U.S. is on track to become a net exporter
of natural gas by the end of the decade
•Approved LNG export facilities will potentially
be up and running within the next 2-4 years,
with more projects in the planning stages
•Exports to Mexico are growing rapidly,
while imports from Canada continue to fall
•Combined with other growing demand sectors
– namely power generation and industrial –
natural gas exports are likely to be supportive
of pricing, even as production continues higher
