Key Benefits:
Attended the session: Christine CHAUVET, Hélène GASSIN, Yann PADOVA and Jean-Pierre SOTURA, Commissioners.
Transmission system operators (GRD) of electricity are responsible for the transmission of electricity on public distribution networks up to Final customers. They charge the routing of electricity to users of their networks, in accordance with the rates of use of public distribution networks (TURPE HTA-BT [1]) set by the Commission for Energy Regulation (CRE)
The provision of electricity transmission, there are also ancillary benefits carried out exclusively by the GRD of electricity. These benefits, made at the request of mainly suppliers and end customers, are collected for each electricity GRD in a benefit catalog that is public.
The cost of these benefits is:
- Fully covered by the routing rate (basic benefits, such as change of supplier, which are not subject to specific invoicing);
-be covered in whole or in part by the cost of the benefit invoiced by the GRD Of electricity. The share of the cost not covered by the rate of the benefit is covered by the rate of carriage.
The Article L. 341-3 of the Energy Code gives the CRE the power to fix the tariffs of the ancillary benefits carried out exclusively by the GRD of electricity, stating that " The Commission for the regulation of fixed energy [...] the methodologies used to establish the tariffs of the ancillary benefits carried out exclusively by the GRD of electricity. In addition, the same article provides that the CRE " Shall, in accordance with the manner in which it determines, consult the players in the energy market. '
The forecast revenue from the ancillary benefits entered in the tariff course TURPE 4 HTA-BT shall be raised for the year 2015 at
On the other hand, the GRD of electricity can offer services in the competitive field, of which they freely fix the price while respecting the principles of competition law. However, the CRE has asked the GRD of electricity that these benefits be clearly identified as such and isolated in their benefit catalogue, in order to avoid any likelihood of confusion with the benefits which they carry out on an exclusive basis. In addition, the operator must expressly state that such benefits may be performed by other providers.
The prices of the ancillary benefits exclusively carried out by the current GRD of electricity have been fixed by The deliberation of the CRE of 22 May 2014 on the pricing of ancillary benefits carried out exclusively by the GRD of electricity.
In order to gather the views of all stakeholders on the envisaged changes in the The release of the aforementioned 22 May 2014, the CRE organised a Public consultation from February 19 to March 13, 2015. This public consultation submitted to the views of the stakeholders:
-a proposal for an evolution of the experimental benefit " Multi-connection accompaniment " Foreseen by the deliberation of 22 May 2014;
-recommendations for clarification of certain formulations of the catalogue of ancillary benefits of ERDF in order to avoid any likelihood of confusion between the benefits carried out in a context Competition and those carried out exclusively by the GRD of electricity;
-a proposal for a partial review of the ancillary benefits carried out on an exclusive basis by the GRD of electricity, a minimum once a year, in order to allow for the Taking into account developments in the context and the requests for changes made by the Network managers and/or actors in the energy sector more proactively.
All non-confidential responses can be viewed on the CRE website (2).
Analysis of actors' responses leads to CRE To:
-change the CRE's release from May 22, 2014 by:
-the redefinition of the scope and pricing of the experimental benefit " Multi-connection accompaniment " Inducing the integration of an option " Multi-connection pre-study ", priced on the basis of a simplified cost formula for applicants to connect to grouped housing within the service" Pre-study connection or study resumption " As referred to in point B. 4.15 of the discharge of 22 May 2014;
-the modification, proposed by ERDF in its reply to the public consultation of 19 February 2015, of the time limits for achieving the benefits of:
- " Switching provider " For HTB, HTA and BT > 36kVA connection points (point B. 3.3 of the 22 May 2014 release);
- " Modification of the routing rate formula (HTB, HTA and BT > 36kVA) " (point B. 3.6 of the 22 May 2014 release); and
- " Modification of subscribed powers (in HTB, HTA and BT > 36kVA) " (point B. 3.7 of the deliberation of 22 May 2014);
-recommend to the ERDF to clarify certain formulations of its benefit catalogue in order to avoid any likelihood of confusion between the benefits carried out in a competitive context and those Carried out exclusively by the GRD of electricity;
-to explain the arrangements for the evolution of the ancillary benefits carried out exclusively by the GRD of electricity: Stakeholders will have the opportunity to present and discuss the developments they wish to see taken into account by the CRE in the framework of the Electricity Working Group (EWG), led by the ERC services.
The ERC received 50 responses Identical expressing the wish of the " Maintenance in the state of the F830, Accompanying Multi-Raccordements ". It is apparent from the exchanges that the services of the CRE have had with several of these contributors that the sending of these identical responses follows the transmission, by a unit of ERDF in the regions, of elements of language to induce these customers in Error. Although this behaviour is the result of an isolated initiative, the CRE reminds us that it must respect the principles of objectivity and transparency laid down in its code of conduct
Pricing of experimental benefit " Multi-connection accompaniment " Submitted to public consultation do not call into question the quality of the benefits expected from the GRD of electricity by the users of the networks in general, and the multi-connection applicants in particular. The proposed developments, without reducing the quality of the service offered, also imply a significant decrease in the cost paid by multi-connection applicants in pre-studies for the connection they solicit.
The Conseil supérieur de l' énergie, consulted by the ERC on the draft decision, delivered its opinion on 5 May 2015.

A. -Methodology
1. Principles for the pricing of ancillary benefits
The provisions of Article L. 341-3 of the Energy Code Give the CRE the competence to establish the methodologies used to establish the tariffs of the ancillary benefits carried out exclusively by the GRD of electricity.
The prices of the ancillary benefits carried out exclusively by the GRD Currently in force have been fixed by the Releasing the CRE of 22 May 2014 on the pricing of ancillary benefits exclusively performed by electricity distribution network operators.
Les section L. 341-2 of the Energy Code report that TURPE includes " Part of the costs of the ancillary benefits carried out exclusively by the managers of these networks'. Thus, the TURPE covers some of the costs associated with the realization of these benefits.
The current TURPE also provides that the receipts from the ancillary benefits are deducted from the charges to be covered by the tariffs. In addition, these revenues are integrated within the scope of the Expense and Product Control Account (CRCP) of the ERDF. Thus, any positive difference (revenue earned above the forecast revenue) between the forecast trajectory of the ancillary benefit receipts and the trajectory realized is deducted from the TURPE, for the benefit of the users. In a symmetrical way, ERDF shall be compensated for any negative differences between the forecast trajectory and the trajectory of the income from the ancillary benefits.
Finally, the TURPE 4 HTA/BT provides that the revenue from the ancillary benefits Created during the tariff period are excluded from the scope of the CPR provided that the costs incurred in providing these benefits were not taken into account in the development of the TURPE.
2. Reminder of Tariff Rules, Tariff Rate and Entry into Force
These tariffs are intended to apply as of August 1, 2015. This release does not alter the form of the tariff rules described in point B of the May 22, 2014 release.
Section B. 6 of the tariff rules annexed to the deliberation of 22 May 2014 provides for the following provisions:
" 6. Rate Indexing
Let M the month anniversary of the date of entry into force of these tariff rules.
Each year N from the year 2015, the rates of the related services covered by these tariff rules are adjusted Mechanically, on the 1st day of the month M, of the following percentage:
ZN: percentage change, rounded to the nearest tenth of one percent, of the rate grid in effect from 1 August of the year N in relation to the one in force the month Previous.
IPCN: Percentage change, between the average value of the monthly non-tobacco consumer price index for the calendar year N-1 and the average value of the same index for the calendar year N-2, as published by INSEE (identifying: 000641194).
The calculated rates are rounded to the nearest euro cent (or, for annual rates, to the divisible value by 12 nearest). "
The average value of the monthly index of harmonized consumer prices-France (identifying INSEE: 000641194) was:
125.43 between January and December 2013;
125,94 between January and December 2014.
The percentage of changes in the monthly index of consumer prices harmonised-France, to be taken into account for the evolution on 1 August 2015 of the prices of Annexes, therefore, is + 0.4 %.
Pursuant to Section B. 6 of the tariff rules relating to ancillary benefits carried out on an exclusive basis by the transmission system operators attached to the discharge of the 22 May 2014, above, the rates of the related services covered by these Tariff rules change to August 1, 2015 by 0.4 %.
3. Main evolutions of the tariff rules
This release amends the tariff rules set out in the de-liberation of 22 May 2014. These changes relate to:
-the scope and pricing of the experimental benefit " Multi-connection accompaniment " Which are redefined;
-the time limits for the realization of the change in supplier benefits, the modification of the rate formula for routing and modification of the subscribed power, for users connected to HTB, HTA and BT> 36kVA, which are specified;
-the label of the benefit " Intervention to allow verification of HTA protections and/or decoupling protection by a registered third party " As described in B. 3.19 of the May 22, 2014 release, which is being amended.
The remaining points of the tariff rules described in the May 22, 2014 release are not affected by this release.
3.1. Redefinition of Scope and Pricing of Experimental Delivery " Multi-connection accompaniment "
The CRE deliberation of May 22, 2014 describes the experimental benefit" Multi-connection accompaniment " In these terms:
" The benefit is to provide a connection requester with multiple points to connect with and a global view of the progress of connection cases.
The benefit is invoiced on the The basis of unit labour costs and the time to carry out the different delivery acts.
For housing construction operations, the benefit is charged according to the following formula:
P = (3180.80 + 10.75 × L + 536.5 × T) × N
Where:
-P: Non-tax euro benefit rate;
-N: number of housing construction operations;
-L: number of dwellings to connect over 20 units for each operation;
-T: the number of options selected by The user. "
It is apparent from the exchanges initiated with ERDF in the context of the return of experience on this experimental benefit that it breaks down by:
-technical studies services for the public service missions of network managers, in application of provisions of article L. 322-8 of the energy code ;
-information modalities adapted to users who have multiple Points to connect within a single " Region " (or multi-connection requesters);
-and an anticipated return visit of the rising columns.
The CRE considers that the pricing arrangements for this benefit must take into account this decomposition and have submitted in As a result of public consultation its proposals to change the scope and pricing of this benefit.
The development proposals presented by the ERC in public consultation generated a lot of feedback from the Actors, who have expressed a wide range of opinions. However, the majority of respondents agree on:
-Satisfaction withdrawn by clients who have subscribed to a benefit " Multi-connection accompaniment " With ERDF, in particular by means of information adapted to the multi-connection applicants proposed by ERDF;
-the integration into the standard supply of electricity GRD of the information modalities adapted to the applicants of the Multi-connection, on the grounds that they are fully within the internal organisation of an efficient electricity GRD;
-the inclusion in the exclusive missions of the GRD of electricity from pre-studies for connection.
Technical study services included in the provision Experimental " Multi-connection accompaniment ", which fall under the exclusive missions of the GRD of electricity, the CRE notes that they are very similar to those described in the performance" Pre-study connection or study resumption " Whose tariff and consistency are set by the tariff relief on May 22, 2014. Nevertheless, while the benefit " Pre-study connection or study resumption " Is charged on quotation, experimental benefit " Multi-connection accompaniment " Allows applicants for the operation of a joint housing operation to benefit from a simplified formula. The CRE considers that it is relevant to maintain a simplified cost formula for these applicants.
As a result, the CRE modifies the deliberation of 22 May 2014 by:
-repealing item B. 4.22, on experimental performance " Multi-connection accompaniment " And by replacing it with the provisions described below;
-amending point B. 4.15, relating to the provision " Pre-study connection or study resumption " To include an option " Pre-study or multi-connection study " Proposed to connect requesters with multiple points to connect to public electricity distribution networks.
The option " Pre-study or multi-connection study " Consists, before obtaining the permit to build, to evaluate the evolutions and adaptations of the public electricity distribution network (relocation of work, reinforcement, extension, etc.) necessary for the various connections requested and to Establish a planning schedule taking into account the constraints identified on the public electricity distribution network. This benefit is to study the optimal location of the connection and distribution station on the public distribution network in order to minimize the cost of connecting the applicant. The " Pre-study or multi-connection study " Is priced on the basis of a simplified cost formula for grouped grouped housing operations and on the basis of a quote for other multi-connection requesters.
In addition, the CRE recommends to GRD electricity To integrate into their standard offering:
-the information terms and conditions that are suitable for users with multiple points to connect;
-the advance reception of the rising columns upstream of the delivery point.
Terms and Conditions Information adapted to users having several points to connect to the public electricity distribution network, which gave full satisfaction to the customers concerned in the framework of the experimental benefit " Multi-connection accompaniment ", fall within the internal organisation of the network manager and participate in the tasks of the GRD of electricity set out in article L. 322-8 of the energy code (3).
In the case of the Construction of a residential complex, to ensure the reception of the rising columns upstream of the commissioning of the point of Delivery. The reception of the rising columns is the responsibility of the electricity GRD public service missions. The advance reception service for the reception of the rising columns, suitable for multi-connection applicants, is the responsibility of the internal organisation of the electricity GRD and participates in the missions of the electricity GRD set out in article L. 322-8 of the Energy Code.
Changes to the scope and pricing of experimental delivery " Multi-connection accompaniment " Does not call into question the fact that the DGs of electricity are required, by their public service missions, to a certain quality in the service rendered to the users of the networks in general, and to the multi-connection applicants in particular. Given the satisfaction expressed by the clients who have subscribed to the experimental benefit " Multi-connection accompaniment " In this way, the latter will be able to continue to offer its customers terms and conditions adapted to the multi-connection operations which will combine the option " Pre-study or multi-connection study " Integrated into the delivery " Pre-study connection or study resumption " As well as the information modalities adapted to these requests and the advance visit of reception of the rising columns. Billing to the customer will be limited to the billing of the study benefits only.
The changes made do not call into question the quality of the benefits expected from the GRD of electricity in respect of:
-number of physical encounters with the user before and after obtaining the building permit;
-help with building the connection request folders;
-porting the connection proposals with Explanations to the applicant;
-portfolio review of the applicant's various cases in a region with regular meetings with the applicant;
-where applicable, accompanying to the de-connection of existing works, moving Of work, etc. ;
-commitment of the GRD of electricity on the date of the expected reception visit of the rising columns.
3.2. Changes in the time limits for the performance of " Switching provider " For HTB, HTA and BT connection points > 36 kVA, of " Modification of the rate formula (in HTB, HTA and BT > 36 kVA) " And " Modification of the subscribed powers (in HTB, HTA and BT > 36 kVA) "
In its response to the public consultation, ERDF made proposals for modification of the time limits for the implementation of certain ancillary benefits. These proposed amendments have been shared with stakeholders through the Electricity Working Group (EWG) led by the CRE.
These proposed amendments are intended to reduce the time limit for achieving the benefits of " Switching provider "," Routing rate formula change " And " Modification of the subscribed powers " For HTB, HTA, and BT > 36 kVA connection points. The CRE believes that these developments are all the more relevant as they fall within the context of the end of regulated electricity sales tariffs on these customer segments as from 1 January 2016 and therefore asks that these developments Can be implemented as of August 1, 2015. In order to allow the Locales de Distribution (ELD) of electricity to evolve their practices in coherence with the new deadlines for the realization of the abovementioned benefits, the ELD of electricity have a period of Three months after the entry into force of this deliberation in order to implement these new deadlines. The supply catalogue of the GRD of electricity clearly indicates the standard time limits.
3.2.1. Benefit " Switching provider "
The description of the benefit" Change of supplier ", referred to in point B. 3.3 of the release of 22 May 2014, specifies that the change of supplier, for the connection points in HTB, HTA and BT > 36 kVA," Is carried out at the 1st of the month M + 1 if the request is made up to the 10th of the month M, if not at the 1st of the month M + 2 ".
In its response to the public consultation of February 19, 2015, proposes to modify the time for delivery of the benefit" Switching provider " To ensure that, as is already the case with connection points in BT ≤ 36 kVA, the execution time of this benefit cannot exceed 21 days for connection points in HTB, HTA and BT > 36 kVA.
The CRE is in favour of This development proposal and consequently alters the deliberation of 22 May 2014.
3.2.2. Benefit " Routing rate change (HTB, HTA, BT > 36 kVA) "
The description of the benefit" Modification of the tariff formula (in HTB, HTA, BT > 36kVA) ", referred to in point B. 3.6 of the discharge of 22 May 2014, states that" This benefit shall be carried out at the 1st of the month M + 1 if the request is made up to 10 of the month M, if not at the 1st of the month M + 2.
In its reply to the public consultation of 19 February 2015, proposes to amend the time limit for the implementation of the Benefit " Tariff formula change (in HTB, HTA, BT> 36kVA) " To ensure that the turnaround times for this benefit are the same regardless of the timing of the request.
The CRE is in favour of this development proposal and therefore alters the release of May 22, 2014.
3.2.3. Benefit " Power change (in HTB, HTA, BT> 36kVA) "
The description of the benefit" Modification of the subscribed power (in HTB, HTA, BT> 36kVA) ", referred to in point B. 3.7 of the discharge of 22 May 2014, states that" This benefit shall be carried out at the 1st of the month M + 1 if the request is made up to 10 of the month M, if not at the 1st of the month M + 2.
In its reply to the public consultation of 19 February 2015, proposes to amend the time limit for the implementation of the Benefit " Power change (in HTB, HTA, BT > 36kVA) " To ensure that the turnaround times for this benefit are the same regardless of the timing of the request.
The CRE is in favour of this development proposal and amends the release on May 22, 2014.
Terminology Used to describe the acts of this benefit is specified to indicate that the " Coupling modification " Refers to the coupling of current transformers.
3.3. Change in the description of the benefit " Intervention to enable verification of HTA protections and/or decoupling protection by an approved third party "
The label of the benefit" Intervention to allow verification of HTA protections and/or decoupling protection by a registered third party " Described in point B. 3.19 of the discharge of 22 May 2014 is replaced by " Intervention to enable verification of HTA protections and/or decoupling protection by a registered provider ".
In effect, the verification acts of HTA protections and/or decoupling protectors can be performed, in A competitive environment, both by an approved third party and by a GRD of electricity.
In addition, the description of the benefit is completed in order to clarify that the HTA protection covered is the protection of delivery stations responding to NF C13-100 (4).
4. Recommendations for evolution of the
4.1 benefit catalog. Clarification of the presentation of certain benefits in the catalogue of ERDF in order to avoid any risk of confusion between the services performed exclusively by the GRD of electricity and those carried out in a competitive context
The public consultation of February 19, 2015 questioned the stakeholders on the clarifications that could be made to the catalogue of benefits concerning the presentation of benefits " Intervention to enable verification of HTA protections and/or decoupling protection by an approved third party ".
Delivery" Intervention to enable the verification of HTA protections and/or decoupling protection by a registered third party ", referred to in point B. 3.19 of the 22 May 2014 release, is thus described:
" When the verification is performed by a licensed provider other than the network manager, the presence of the network manager is required.
The benefit is the separation of the installation, the control of the integrity of the Measurement and compliance of protection settings as well as the reactivation.
This benefit is charged according to the rates shown in Table 10 below:
Table 10
| Intervention to enable verification of HTA protections | 325.28 |
| Intervention to enable verification of decoupling protection | 3228 |
| Work Order to enable verification of HTA protections and decoupling protections | 400,34 |
The standard completion time is 10 business days. "
The description of the acts constituting the verification of HTA protection and verification of decoupling protection in the benefit catalogue of ERDF shall not be limited to acts of intervention to allow for the Verification of HTA protections and/or decoupling protection by a registered claimant described in the above CRE deliberation. In fact, the benefits numbered F400, F410, F415, P400a and P400b in the catalogue of ERDF shall be entered as ancillary benefits performed exclusively by the GRD of electricity, even though it is specified that certain acts of those Benefits " Be carried out by ERDF or by a registered supplier ". Thus, these acts do not fall within the scope of the exclusive activity of the network manager and are carried out in a competitive context.
In addition, the description of the acts constituting the services numbered F400, F410, F415, P400a and P400b in the catalogue of ERDF are not homogeneous, resulting in a reduction in the comparability of benefits according to whether they are intended for consumers/suppliers or producers.
All contributors to the Public consultation is in favour of recommendations for the evolution of the catalogue Of the CRE. Some contributors raise the issue of how to handle the cost of delivery by the GRD of electricity if the latter did not meet its quality obligations.
As a result, the CRE recommends that Benefit catalog as follows:
-for the verification acts for HTA protections (benefits numbered F400 and P400a option 1 in the current catalog of current) of:
-distinguish, for each type of customer (consumers and Suppliers, or producers), two benefits:
-an attachment that is made on an exclusive basis by the network manager regarding the conduct of the audit of the work performed and the release in operation and;
-a performance performed in a competitive environment All other acts constituting the benefits numbered F400 and P400a option 1 in the current catalogue of the current ERDF;
-name the annex provided exclusively by the network manager as defined in the preceding paragraph " Intervention to allow verification of HTA protections by a registered claimant " ;
-immediately make the comparison between the benefits for suppliers and consumers and those for producers by numbering the benefit described above F400 and by numbering the benefit number P400a option 1 In the current catalog of P400;
-set to 325.28 €HT the F400 and P400 numbered benefit rates as defined previously, in application of the CRE's deliberation of May 22, 2014;
-for acts of verification of the Decoupling protections (benefits numbered F410, P400a option 2 and P400b in The current catalog of:
-distinguish, for each type of customer (consumers and suppliers, or producers), two benefits:
-an attachment that is made on an exclusive basis by the network manager regarding the conduct of the audit of the work performed and the release in operation and;
-a performance performed in a competitive environment All other instruments constituting the benefits numbered F410, P400a option 2 and P400b in the current catalogue of the current ERDF;
-name the annex provided exclusively by the network manager as defined in the paragraph Previous " Intervention to allow verification of decoupling protection by a licensed provider " ;
-immediate comparison between the benefits for suppliers and consumers and those for producers by:
-number of the benefit described above F410
-merging P400a benefits option 2 And current P400b. These benefits are identical, but the benefit catalogue distinguishes them because they do not apply to the same customer segments: The P400a option 2 is for the P1 and P2 segments while the P400b benefit is for segments P3 and P4;
-by renaming the P400a option 2 and P400b in the current P410 catalog;
-set to 325,28 €HT the tariff of the services numbered F410 and P410 as defined above, in application of the CRE's deliberation of 22 May 2014;
-for simultaneous verification of HTA protection and decoupling protection (benefits numbered F415 and P400a option 3 in the current catalogue) of:
-distinguish, for each type of customer (consumers and suppliers, or producers), two benefits:
-an attachment that is made on an exclusive basis by the network manager regarding the conduct of the audit of the work performed and the release in operation and;
-a performance performed in a competitive environment All the other acts constituting the current F415 and P400a Option 3 benefits;
-name the annex provided exclusively by the network manager as defined in the preceding paragraph " Intervention to allow simultaneous verification of HTA protections and decoupling protection by a licensed provider " ;
-set at 400,34 €HT the F415 and P415 numbered benefit rate as defined previously, in application of the CRE's deliberation of May 22, 2014;
-making the comparison between the benefits for the Suppliers and consumers and those intended for producers by numbering the benefit described above F415 and renaming the numbered benefit P400a Option 3 in the current catalogue of P415.
In addition, in the Framework for responses to the public consultation of 19 February 2015, stakeholders raised Points to improve the legibility of the catalogue of the ERDF.
Thus, an actor noted that the catalogue of ERDF did not mention the possibility for injection sites to take out an annual count of counting, while the Releasing the CRE on May 22, 2014. It is committed to amending its catalogue to reflect this remark and to bring it into line with the above mentioned deliberation.
An actor also wanted an improvement in the description in the catalogue of the The possibility and practical arrangements for a user to request the use of a certified service provider, authorised to verify the conformity of his meter (COFRAC accreditation) after the meter has been deposited by the GRD of electricity, within the framework of the Benefit " Metrological meter verification ". This actor points out that the catalogue could thus be more explicit on the terms of this performance, mentioning in particular the fact that the customer can choose, to carry out the metrological verification of his meter and after the removal of This one by the GRD of electricity, a COFRAC accredited laboratory chosen as subcontractor by ERDF, in order to benefit from the tariff negotiated by ERDF if the meter proves to be in conformity (ERDF taking to its charge all costs incurred if the meter Is non-compliant). It is committed to modifying its catalog to reflect this note.
4.2. Clarification of the conditions for invoicing of certain benefits
The public consultation of 19 February 2015 submitted to the stakeholders the question of clarifying the conditions of " Non-billing " Specified in the catalog of ERDF for certain services performed in a competitive context.
The billing conditions currently described in the Benefit Catalog for the HTA Protectors And/or decoupling protections specify that " When the verification is requested by the ERDF as a result of a presumption of malfunction, it is not invoiced if the protection does not have anomalies ".
Similarly the billing conditions for the point analysis of the Slow variations in voltage and point analysis of the power quality, carried out by the electricity GRD in a competitive context, entered in the catalogue of the ERDF specify that:
-the provision of point analysis of the Slow voltage variations " Is not charged if the analysis of records shows that slow voltage variations exceed regulatory or contractual values " ;
-the Provision of Point-in-Time Analysis of Food Quality " Is not invoiced if the analysis of the recordings shows that the disturbances are from the public network and are superior to the regulatory or contractual values. "
These formulations cause confusion in the The liability of the parties in the event of a malfunction of the works.
All contributors to the public consultation are in favour of the recommendations for the evolution of the CRE's catalogue of ERDF. Some contributors raise the issue of how to handle the cost of delivery by the GRD of electricity if the latter did not meet its quality obligations.
As a result, the CRE recommends that the Mention in its catalogue of benefits carried out in a competitive context according to which " The benefit is not invoiced " If the responsibility for the GRD of electricity is incurred. The CRE recommends to GRD electricity to ensure that the stipulations of their access contract provide, in the event that they have not fulfilled their quality obligations, the arrangements for the cost of the benefit realized in a Competitive environment. Such a support does not deprive users of the ability to seek the responsibility of the network manager in accordance with common law paths.
These recommendations for evolution of the Catalogue of the ERDF do not imply any modification of the Release of May 22, 2014.
5. Form of Tariff Rules
This release does not affect the form of the tariff rules described in point B of the May 22, 2014 release.
6. Evolution Procedure
Many contributors raised points related to the ancillary benefits realized by the GRD of electricity not being the subject of the public consultation of February 19, 2015. These requests for developments require additional training and, where appropriate, the collection of the opinion of the stakeholders via a public consultation.
In view of the numerous requests for changes in the scope of the annexes to the Exclusive title by the GRD of electricity formulated in the context of the responses to the public consultation of 19 February 2015, the rapid evolution of the energy markets, the development of intelligent electricity grids or the emergence of New actors, it is desirable that the scope and the tariff of the Ancillary benefits realized exclusively by the GRD of electricity can evolve more frequently in the future in order to remain adapted to the expectations of the users of the networks.
The actors will have the opportunity to present and Discuss the developments they wish to see taken into account by the ERC in the framework of the EWG, piloted by the services of the CRE.
In addition, in the event of new needs, GRDs may submit a request for creation to the CRE A new benefit. This request includes the cost of this benefit (together with the methodology and the calculation parameters of this cost) and the forecast volumetrics.
If applicable, the CRE will make a new tariff decision in application article L. 341-3 of the energy code.
