2. EFET „R_ISO Model“ – stakeholder consultation
A stakeholder consultation on R_ISO model took place including a workshop on the model in Prague as a follow up
Comments from all network using stakeholder groups and CEER supported the principles proposed in the model by EFET
Joint letter by GEODE and EFET, supported by some other associations
First draft of joint paper on market integration in preparation based on EFET R_ISO, to be presented in June in GRI-SSE
Market users want network integration fast

3. EFET seeked support form others
Basics of the letter
We strongly welcome the 3rd internal energy market package and its effort to enhance the competitive single European market for gas and electricity.
The multi-system TSO operation should include common handling of capacities, the creation of a joint balancing market, joint system access and joint system enhancement as well as all aspects of transparency.
All TSO’s must work together as soon as possible with a view of creating a (regional) integrated entry exit system and a one-stop shop for all system user needs.
Timetable (next slide)
In conclusion
to establish harmonised rules on a European basis system user involvement on an equal basis is essential to achieve an efficient market
for multi-system operation legislative support is required

4. Proposed timeline for establishment of a regional E/E model in SSE Region
Harmonisation of rules at regional level (common transmission model)
Multi-system capacity platform and market based balancing
Harmonised regional network access
Coordinated investment planning and regional balancing
Joint regional network operation
Regional entry-exit models
Interconnection agreements (incl. operational balancing accounts)

5. Conclusion of Madrid Forum
22. The Forum acknowledged the strong wish of users for fast progress and legislative measures in order to enhance progress in network cooperation on European level. EFET, IFIEC, OGP, GEODE and CEFIC consider that the concept of regional network cooperation presented by EFET and GEODE is necessary (a possibility) to enhance market integration. The Forum invited ERGEG to consider the possible implementation of this concept in all Regions.
23. The Forum recognises the need for developing market based balancing mechanisms, reducing balancing zones and sizes across regions, and for discussing the possible coordination role of hubs. The Commission invites all Gas Regional Initiatives to consider including these topics in their list of priorities.
15. The Forum welcomed the initiatives of GTE+ and ERGEG to develop codes and guidelines. In this context, the Forum underlined the strong demand for a transparent and democratic consultation process, which should involve all stakeholders in the drafting process from the beginning. This process could be differentiated according to stakeholder interests in respect of the nature of the code to be developed.
