The balance between generation capacity and consumption load is normally cyclical and should reverse in the next few years.

New installed green capacity has more than doubled between 2000 and A slower growth rate is expected over the next years due to the reduction of incentives.

If the capacity limits among the zones are not breached, the outcome is an equal price for all the zones. If any capacity limit breach occurs, the market is split into one or more zones. The algorithm is repeated at zone level and the resulting prices are different among the zones. MWh The electricity imported and the electricity produced from renewable sources are bid at zero (price takers). Renewable capacity installed shaves peak prices 21

22 The Ancillary Services Market (MSD) Terna (TSO) procures through the Ancillary Service Market (MSD) the resources necessary to guarantee the balance of the power system and to release the intra-zonal congestions, that characterize Italian electricity market, which is a very complex physical market. The MSD is cleared through a pay as bid algorithm. Terna is the central counterparty which accepts bids/offers from market participants related to different reserve and balancing services. The market is divided into: «ex-ante MSD»: consists of 3 sub-sessions, where Terna trades energy and balancing services in order to release congestions and to create reserve margins (secondary and tertiary reserve); «Balancing Market» (MB): consists of 5 sub-sessions, where Terna trades real-time balancing services to restore secondary/tertiary reserve and to maintain the balance of the grid. Each player admitted to the market must provide bids and offers for each of the following services: Secondary Reserve; MSD ex ante volumes 20 Terziary Reserve; Start-up; Shut-down; 10 Change of plant configuration. 5 After the last update of the dispatching rules in 2011 TWh 0 volumes in MSD drastically dropped, due to the -5 introduction of new market sessions and the creation of a more cost reflective offer structure. Thereafter the balancing needs increased because of the diffusion of intermitting renewable sources. Source: GME Ascending Descending 22

25 Expected evolution of the market regulation Capacity payment Until 2017, the temporary regime provides for an equal remuneration (CAP) for all and a supplementary one (S) linked to actual revenues. In 2013 the total remuneration for the mechanism was equal to 155 M. With the resolution 320/2014, AEEG introduced an auction mechanism to remunerate the flexible capacity for the period Capacity market Terna will secure through central auctions the system adequacy and flexibility. The organization of the capacity market is expected at the end of The auctions will be open to participants with new or existing programmable and not subsided capacity; in exchange of a fixed amount of money (which will be the auctioned item), market participants shall ensure capacity plant availability and shall return the difference, if positive, between a reference price (MGP or MSD) and the strike price linked to an open cycle gas turbine overall cost. Imbalances of intermitting renewables Market coupling The imbalances regime has been reviewed in November The Authority defined the new mechanism of imbalance settlement, with different thresholds for different kind of renewables, and a fee within the threshold in order to avoid cost socialization. If producers do not accept this mechanism they will pay the same cost of the non relevant but programmable units. Starting from 2015 Italy should gradually join the European Price Coupling, which simultaneously determines volumes and prices in all relevant zone, using a single algorithm based on the marginal pricing that meets the requirement of efficient allocations of the cross border capacity. Some important differences in the market structure have to be removed: gate closure at 9.15 instead of 12.00, two months settlement instead of two weeks, negative prices. 25

30 The cost of renewables financed by the domestic bill The V incentive scheme ceased to apply on 6/07/2013, when the cumulative annual cost of incentive of 6.7 billion has been reached. In 2013 more than 305 MW of PV came into operation without incentives (grid parity); while in 2014 an additional 1 MW is expected. The cumulative cost can not exceed 5.8 billion /year. Over the past two years, the weight of the energy component within the regulated tariff has dropped from 60% to 53% and, conversely, the system charges significantly increased (moving from 9% to 19%), mainly due to the increase of the incentives to renewable sources. 25 Regulated market: electricity tariff's breakdown 20 2,4 2,3 1,9 2,5 2,3 2,2 2,3 2,3 10 2,2 1,5 2,5 2,5 2,5 2,6 5 9,4 9,5 9,5 9,4 10,0 15 c /kwh 2,4 2,5 2,6 2,6 2,6 2,5 2,6 2,5 2,6 2,5 2,5 3,1 3,2 3,3 3,4 3,6 3,6 3,7 4,0 4,1 4,1 2,6 2,6 2,6 2,8 2,8 2,8 2,8 2,8 3,0 3,0 10,9 10,9 11,0 10,4 10,0 10,2 10,0 9,8 9,4 9, I 2011-II 2011-III 2011-IV 2012-I energy costs 2012-II 2012-III 2012-IV 2013-I network cost 2013-II 2013-III 2013-IV 2014-I system cost (inlc.

33 Spot price hourly shape PUN hourly shape /MWh Typical peak hours shifted from morning hours to h.19-21, because of the strong impact of PV production occurring in the central hours, along with steep reduction during the evening hours not matched by load decrease. Therefore CCGTS are able to set System Marginal Price in evening hours with high margins to recover their fixed costs Peak/Base ratio 1,4 1, , ,1 1,0 0, Ratio between peak and baseload hours has decreased over the last 4 years. This is due to overcapacity and low demand scenario, together with remarkable solar generation increase. Source: A2A internal analysis 33

The 2014 price is now equal to 52.5 /MWh. The decrease in energy consumption, the increase in the renewable installed capacity, the high hydraulicity levels are the main causes of this slump in the electricity prices.

The profit has hugely decreased in the last 2-3 years, becoming negative on baseload in Q (- 7.6 /MWh), due to the important presence of renewable sources coupled with low demand level.
