Today, ACER publishes an Opinion on the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) draft 4th Guideline for cost benefit analysis of electricity grid development projects (CBA Guideline).
In its Opinion, ACER welcomes the improvements ENTSO-E made to the CBA Guideline so far.
However, ACER identifies shortcomings in the Guideline and proposes several recommendations to ENTSO-E to improve it:
- Extend the analysis of security of supply by considering future extreme weather events;
- Simplify the assessment of hybrid offshore projects by removing Option 2;
- Include the identification of beneficiaries and cost bearers at national level;
- Provide criteria and suggest indicators for a more concrete assessment of ancillary services’ benefits.
