Today
the energy, as ever before, remains one of the most pressing challenges for
both the EU and candidate countries. In the last, EC has adopted on 25th
July and enter into force on 14th August 2015 the new electricity
market rules through a series of EU laws (generally known as ‘network codes and
guidelines’ in this case Regulation establishing a Guideline on Capacity
Allocation and Congestion Management – CACM) which will bring the goal of a
well-integrated EU internal energy market a step closer.
In legal terms, Albania on 30th April
2015 adopted the new Law no. 43 on Electricity Sector that aim a fully aligned
with Directive 2009/72/EC dated 13 July 2009 “On common rules for the
internal market in electricity”. Notwithstanding, the new law on the
electricity sector approved by Albanian Parliament, constitutes a decisive step
forward, it is only the first on the long path of the energy reforms in
Albania. This needs to go hand-in-hand with the design of a new market
structure. Among other, this design must allow for spot-trading (i.e. day-ahead
and intra-day markets) that open the door to the fully deregulation of prices and
based the sector in market structures.
The objective of the Albanian Centre for Energy Regulation and
Conservation – ACERC is to help of
policymaking process on a building
a market model liberalized and effectively integrated based in an efficient use
of energy resources. An ambition that need to be assist the modelling by a
continuous shared consultation process to enable national policy makers and influence
the stimulate toward the scenarios development process according to EU and
regional policy on energy sector and climate strategy developments.
A power market analysis that
was to be carried out in the framework of overall European Energy Union Strategy.
A modelling exercise that require policy options related with the improve of
the production mix of electricity generation, supply side management, increasing
shares of renewables as well as assessed investment support schemes. A simulates
model working within around 40 European energy markets, that have to takes into
account as well future infrastructure in generation and interconnection in European
and global scale. Then the only sure strategy remain that of long commitments
in the process of setting up ambitious 2020 and 2030 goal policy.
