7 ELECTRICAL SECTOR- historical development in Latinamerica Initial private developments Government action - vertically integrated utilities (Endesa, Electroperú, Ende, Eletrobras, ISA, Edelca, CFE) Limited private participation ELECTRICAL SECTOR main problems in Latinamerica Financial & economic crisis Tariffs problems and cross subsidies Management problems Infrastructure deterioration High levels of losses Overstaffing 7

8 Drivers of deregulation and privatization - sustain investment with high demand growth - price reductions (not necessarily) - political reasons - open market ideology - fiscal deficit- need to sell State assets International trend -World Bank initiatives -not technological changes -minimum quality levels 1999 MEXICO CENTRAL AMERICA & PANAMA 1994 COLOMBIA 1993 PERU 1994 BOLIVIA BRAZIL CHILE 1992 ARGENTINA Pioneering regulatory changes in the electrical sector 8

10 ELECTRICITY MARKET REFORMS *regulation in transmission and distribution *transmission open access regulation, base for competition, global allocation of network costs *incentive based regulation in distribution (yard stick competition, price cap) Change of paradigma Vertically integrated company -public service company -obligation to serve -protection and rates 10

11 Change of paradigma Generation -competition -no public service -no obligation to serve -no protection Change of paradigma Distribution -franchised monopoly -obligation to serve Transmission -open access obligation 11

19 PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES IN MARKET DESIGN -independent operator (Chile) -transmission open access (Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Perú) -distribution pricing (Bolivia, Chile, Perú) -blackout crisis (Argentina, Chile) -regional energy market GOVERNANCE OF THE POOL Generation -problems with pool governance -spot price calculations -capacity payments -reliability control 19

20 GOVERNANCE OF THE POOL Assumptions -a central dispatch is needed for competing generators -governance better achieved by agreement among all participants -with perfect competition, prices will be marginal costs -central dispatch needed to clear the wholesale market (Adam Smith role) Market design -central dispatch as a single system irrespective of ownership -marginal cost based dispatch (traditional pool) -large generators form a club that acts as an independent operator -agreements to be achieved unanimously, otherwise regulator intervenes Market reality -competition on cost of supply (efficiencies increased, new technologies introduced- CCGT) and on commercial actions (contract portfolios) -club scheme operates well for over 10 years (outside criticism by parties that are not able to participate) 20

21 -as competition increases and prices decrease, unanimous agreements become the exception (disagreements on determination of spot price, dispatch models, transmission modeling, operation security strategies) -governing difficulties -regulator essentially directing the actions of the pool, with no interest to do so -reliability endangered by disagreements Divergences within the pool (CDEC-SIC) Number of divergences Year 21

22 TRANSMISSION PRICING Transmission -problems with open access tariffs -lack of expansion signals -congestion TRANSMISSION PRICING Assumptions - agents that cause transmission expansion must pay for use - generators and consumers- differences among countries Market design -transmission payments based on natural economic use of lines, no relation with commercial use and contracts -natural use measured as incremental use under economic dispatch -peak capacity use or energy use 22

23 Market reality -weak definition of natural use -disputes on how to measure natural use -incremental measure dependent on marginal bus location -no clear definition on handling of network restrictions and economic decoupling of areas of the system 100% 90% 80% Payments [%] 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% A PC/PD A A A G G G 0% Peak block Single bus Block single bus Block variable bus Generators Method 100% 90% 80% Payments [%] 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% A PC/PD A A A G G G 0% Peak block Single bus Block single bus Block variable bus Consumers Method 23

24 DISTRIBUTION PRICING Distribution -conflicts in tariff calculations -quality of service Assumptions -economies of scope give place to monopolistic activity -geographic franchised activity subject to regulation -strategic objective for pricing is to avoid welfare losses from monopoly pricing, provide signal for economic efficiency (investment and operation), with symmetry of risk and opportunities for regulated firm -obligation to serve (only one in electricity chain) -competition by comparison (benchmarking) reduces asymmetry of information about the firm s costs 24

25 Market design -prices based on cost comparison against an efficient model firm -value added cost of distribution based on hypotethical model distribution firms -standardized costs, optimally sized firms and optimal business management -typical standardized distribution areas -independent studies by consultant requested by regulator and firms -preliminary prices determined and coherency check for revenue of the whole distribution industry Total monthly cost for area 2 (Chile, 1988) Total cost (MUS$/Month) Maximum demand (MW) Average value 10,2 US$/kW/month 25

26 Market reality (Chile, 1996) -complete study bases issued by regulator for 39 distribution companies, 5 typical distribution areas -differences in criteria between regulator and firms -unclear definition on treatment of unregulated consumers, economies of scope, stand-alone firm or shared-costs firm, criteria for optimal installation expansion, technological updating, useful life for installations -extended legal battles Differences among value added costs as determined by regulator and companies High voltage distribution Low voltage distribution % de variación High Average Low -17 Distribution density % de variación High Average Low Distribution density 26

27 BLACKOUT CRISIS Generation -unsupplied energy Regulator intervention for adequacy *capacity payments *regulated tariffs for small consumers 27

33 Technology impact: combined cycle plants -new plants replacing coal plants -combined cycle defining long run marginal cost (substantially lower that the historic one) -combined cycle competing with transmission and changing investment patterns Restructuring of the world electricity market -arrival to Latinamerica of main world energy (gas and electricity) players looking for regional portfolios -increase of competition versus increase of vertical and horizontal integration -prices initially on a downward trend -regional expansion of transmission -need for regional common regulatory arrangements 33
