Les principes sur lesquels se fonde la directive lectricit

Article Abstract:

Under the European directive for electricity passed by the European Parliament and Council of Ministers on 19 December 1996, at least 25.37% of the electricity market of each member country must be open to competition as of 19 February 1999. This proportion is to rise to 28% in the year 2000, and to 33% in the year 2003. This gradual opening was adopted in order to allow the companies to adapt to the new situation. The electricity directive is to be revised in 2006, which may mean new market openings. The liberalisation of the market also matches the principal of subsidiarity. New production installations will thus come under a system of authorisations or invitations to tender, and several modalities are provided for access to the system - either on the basis of negotiated or regulated third party access or through a single purchaser. European Union countries are in advance concerning the transposition of the electricity directive. Sweden, Finland, Norway and the United Kingdom have all largely opened or even totally opened their markets. Other countries such as Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark intend to substantially in 1998, while Belgium, Ireland, and Greece have an additional period (one year for Belgium and Ireland, and two years for Greece). France, Italy, and Luxembourg will be ready on time.

Statistiques europ ennes de l' lectricit

Article Abstract:

Electricity production in the European Union remained stable in 1997, compared with 1996. Production rose noticeably in four European Union countries - it rose 8.4% in Spain, 6% in Sweden, 3.9% in Belgium and 3.4% in Italy - but it plummeted 17.4% in Denmark, and dropped 15.4% in Luxembourg, and it declined slightly in Portugal, France, Germany, Great Britain, and Finland. Standard thermal energy still dominates in the European Union, where it represents 50.5% of total, but it has declined 0.7% while nuclear energy represents 35.5% of the total electricity, and hydroelectric power stations supply 14% of the total. Nuclear energy rose 1% from 1996, and hydraulic energy rose 2%. The European Union imported 7.1 terawatt hours in 1997, or 0.3% of the production. According to the European Communities Statistical Office, energy demand in the European Union rose 0.7% from 1996, representing 2;274.4 terawatt hours.

Le march europ en de l' nergie

Article Abstract:

According to Frost & Sullivan, the energy market in Europe is expected to represent an overall turnover of US$ 335bn in 2004, compared with US$ 260bn in 1997. Frost & Sullivan forecasts an increase of at least 12% in total energy consumption by the year 2010. It predicts that the electricity production capacity could be increased by nearly 4,000 megawatts before this date. Frost & Sullivan also predicts an increase in natural gas sales - 1.5 times as great as at present - as well as a increase in the use of renewable energy resources, while hydroelectric energy is expected to increase only slightly.
