 Regulatory aspects of the integration of wind generation in European electricity markets - A CEER Conclusions Paper
Ref. C10-SDE-16-03, 7 July 2010
European regulators recognise that, in the face of ambitious renewable energy targets, increasing proportions of wind generation gives rise to particular challenges and opportunities for the European electricity market. CEER considers that it is no longer appropriate to consider wind generation in isolation from the rest of the market and that, in addressing the issues associated with the market and network arrangements, it is preferable for wind generation to be integrated into the rest of the market. There are three areas in particular where the integration of wind generation needs to be factored into policy decisions: electricity market arrangements, network arrangements and the development of a supergrid. CEER's recommendations call for a more transparent, cost-reflective and efficient approach that encourages, rather than inhibits, the deployment of wind generation and increased market integration. CEER suggests that many of the issues are considered within the work on EU framework guidelines and network codes.

 Position Paper on Smart Grids - an ERGEG Conclusions Paper
Ref. E10-EQS-38-05, 10 June 2010
This Conclusions Paper presents a set of conclusions (7) and recommendations (10) that should be taken in account, where appropriate, by European and national decision-makers when discussing smart grids. The paper focuses on three key areas - definition and drivers of smart grids; opportunities and regulatory challenges; and priorities for regulation. The conclusions and recommendations drawn from this experience will be important for ERGEG to effectively advise the European Commission in developing the future European policy framework for smart grids, as smarter networks are expected to be a key facilitator in the transition to a low-carbon energy sector.

Final Advice on the Community-wide Ten-year Electricity Network Development Plan
Ref. E10-ENM-22-03, 10 June 2010
This document sets out ERGEG’s advice for the development of the Community-wide ten-year electricity network development plan. The advice focuses on both the Community-wide ten-year network development plan and the regional investment plans (which are formed on the basis of national plans and should be consistent with each other). It maps the roles and responsibilities of the involved parties and presents the regulatory criteria applied in the opinion-forming process. The main tasks in the planning process, stakeholders’ involvement and the contents of the Community-wide ten-year network development plan are also identified. ERGEG will use this document when giving its duly reasoned opinion on the ENTSO-E draft Community-wide ten-year network development plan.
