SEE Wholesale Market Opening - Final Report (July 2010)
The World Bank financed study recommends the creation of a regional market founded on a Day-Ahead Market (DAM) with implicit auction and cross-border capacities allocated to it. To this end, the study favours staged involvement. The creation of a DAM presumes several preconditions. To be able to meet this target, political willingness and support for the required changes and commitment to the action plan(s) from all the stakeholders in the region are vital.
Pöyry Energy Consulting and Nord Pool Consulting were commissioned by the World Bank to develop a study on Wholesale Market Opening for the electricity market in South East Europe. The key outputs of the study are a Regional Market Design (RMD) and an action plan for implementation. The geographical scope of the study coincides with the territory of the seven Contracting Parties. It was however clear from the outset that the creation of a regional wholesale electricity market may span a broader geographical scope than this. For more information please click here

Final Consentec/APCS Study on the establishment of a CAO in SEE (December 2009)
This study, which constitutes a continuation of our previous studies in the region, was commissioned by the Energy Community Secretariat (ECS) in order to resolve open issues of the technical concepts developed so far, address crucial organisational and commercial issues - such as risk management – business process development, revenue distribution, and, ultimately, substantiate the proposals for the content of the potential future congestion management method in SEE and for the organisational structure to implement it. The study focuses on flow-based coordinated explicit auctions, based on the understanding that this is, for the time being1, the target solution for congestion management in SEE. With this information the study contributes to the discussions on setting up a regionally coordinated capacity allocation and congestion mechanism in the Energy Community, as stemming from the legal requirements of the Energy Community Treaty, namely Regulation (EC) 1228/2003.

Study on the Identification of Legal Requirements and Issues related to the Establishment and Operation of and the Participation in a CAO in SEE (July 2009)
In the process of establishing a Coordinated Auction Office in South East Europe (SEE CAO) a number of legal questions have to be clarified. This starts from regulatory issues of auction licensing and capacity allocation rules and leads to questions of tax law, antitrust and competition law. The Energy Community therefore seeked for legal expertise in providing answer to these challenges. The final assessment of the Athens based Law Firm Kelemenis&Co provides an in depth legal analysis of first the possible barriers for TSOs and/or traders to participate and second assessed the legal requirements for establishing the SEE CAO. The study gives a comprehensive description of existing regulatory competences, market structures and legal requirements and obligations to be considered when establishing the SEE CAO. The analysis of the study is key for the practical setting up of the SEE CAO.

Study on Tariff Methodologies and Impact on Prices and Energy Consumption Patterns in the Energy Community (March 2009)
The study provides a detailed overview about tariff and price evolution in the Contracting Parties including the Observer Georgia, the regulatory regimes for electricity tariffs, the level of end-user prices, end user revenues by supply chain component and prices per consumer type including an analysis on cost coverage and cross-subsidies. The study further assesses the relation between tariffs and consumption and discusses investment self sufficiency, allocative efficiency and productive efficiency for generation, transmission, distribution and supply. Based on this assessment the study concludes on necessary steps to be taken and recommends on changes in tariff methodologies. Last but not least the study provides a detailed summary of key points of jurisdiction and data
