Spain to ban power imports by big utilities-source
28-02-2005 13:27 por Reuters
MADRID, Feb 28 (Reuters) - The Spanish government wants to ban the largest utilities from importing electricity as part of a wider plan to promote competition in the energy market, a government source said on Monday.
The proposed measure adds another dose of uncertainty to the energy sector as the government considers wholesale changes to current regulations, although it was not expected to have a major impact on company results.
The ban would apply to companies with market shares above 10 percent, meaning it would affect the two major power utilities, Endesa and Iberdrola .
"The idea is that the dominant operators cannot import energy across the border, allowing smaller companies to do so and thus increase competition," said the government source, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Imported electricity accounted for 3.7 percent of that sold in Spain in 2004, with most of it coming from France, according to National Energy Commission data. Iberdrola bought 10.3 percent of the imported energy and Endesa 6.8 percent.
Electricite de France [EDF.UL] imported 7.4 percent of the total for use in its electricity wholesaling business in Spain, but EDF would not be affected by the ban. "The regulatory environment is not very clear in Spain," said David Solozabal, a utilities analyst at JP Morgan.
The government has been preparing a white paper for the second half of the year that could lead to rewriting generation regulations. On Friday it said it would halt stranded cost (CTC) payments to utilities, which were designed to compensate them for making the transition to a liberalised market.
The government will study what to do with the CTCs but in the meantime it has raised concern that it may scrap the programme while Endesa, for example, is still due about another 2 billion euros in CTCs.
