11 11 Main legislation concerning security of supply Stocks: 35 days of its firm sales or consumption Diversification: 60% of the supplies coming from the main country that supplies the Spanish Gas Market. Agents obliged to comply: companies that introduce gas into the system to supply final customers Companies selling gas, need to book underground storage capacity to comply with the regulation regarding strategic reserves (35 days) GENERAL UNDERGROUND STORAGE REGIME Need of underground storage

12 12  Central planning made by the Government for strategic storage, among others  Building underground storage requires an Administrative authorization GENERAL UNDERGROUND STORAGE REGIME Main characteristics  Transparent and non discriminatory conditions  Regulated and cost reflective TPA tariffs  General capacity allocation mechanism: “First come, first serve”. “Pro rata” for strategic storage.  Mechanism to avoid congestion: UIOLI  TPA tariffs revised every year Infrastructure development TPA Access

13 13  Based on the following principles: Ensuring recovery of investments Ensuring a reasonable profit of financial resources Promoting effective management and improving productivity  Investment recovering guarantee, once the storage is recognised by the Ministry  TPA Tariffs calculated each year to collect retribution to infrastructure owners (investors that have built infrastructures included in the central planning) Economic regime GENERAL UNDERGROUND STORAGE REGIME Main characteristics

15 15 ANNUAL COST RECOVERY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE (direct allocation) Annual cost recovery for investment Annual operating and maintenance cost RETRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR UNDERGROUND STORAGE Orden ITC/3995/2006

16 16 Annual cost recovery for investment RETRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR UNDERGROUND STORAGE Order ITC/3995/2006 FINANCIAL RETRIBUTIONDEPRECIATION Investment amount working life Remaining investment amount x retribution rate Investment amount settled by Working life (years) Underground storage facilities audit10 Cushion gas auction20 Retribution rate = National Bank Bonus Rate (10y) + 3,5% Retribution rate keeps steady during the working life of infrastructure

17 17 Annual operating and maintenance cost RETRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR UNDERGROUND STORAGE Order ITC/3995/2006 VARIABLE COSTSPERMANENT COST Defined every year for each facility Intake unit cost x total annual intake gas volume + offtake unit cost x total annual offtake gas volume Intake and offtake unit costs defined every year per each facility GAS CONSUMPTION DURING OPERATION Settled by auction Permanent and variable unit cost updated every year taking into account consumtion, industrial products and electricity increase indexes

18 18 RETRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR UNDERGROUND STORAGE Order ITC/3995/2006  For underground facilities running before this new economic regime: recognized value of investments in research and facilities, retribution rate and end of working life is settled in the Order  In order to boost investigation and exploration of future underground storages, the retribution system recognizes investment in these activities whenever required in the following 5 years after facility starts running. The recovery is settled by audit and can rise up to 50% of recognized investment in the facility.  Exceptionally, it is possible to include in remunerative system singular investments.  Investment in modifications on facilities will be recognized when they suppose an increase of intake/offtake capacity or in the operative volume Main points to underline

19 19 RETRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR UNDERGROUND STORAGE Orden ITC/3995/2006  Once the working life is over, if the infrastructure is still running, the annual cost recovery comes to 50% of the annual investment cost recovery in the last year of working life  At the end of its working life, the part of cushion gas that can be mechanically withdrawed will be to the system’s advantage. Main points to underline
