Electric Utility Sector Supplement EU19: Stakeholder participation in decision making processes related to energy planning and infrastructure development 1. Relevance Most electric utility markets are made up of a few large players or monopolies. At the same time, there is more direct public sector involvement in the management of supply and demand. Decisions that might be marketdriven in other sectors, are not always so in the electricity sector, due to the physical nature of electricity and the demands of maintaining a stable electricity system for vital services to the population. Electric utilities actively engage in discussions around general public policy issues (e.g., public health) and this is addressed in indicator SO5. Electric utilities also provide a particularly important input into planning process around energy strategies and infrastructure development given their role as providers of the service. The nature of this engagement and the level transparency afforded to stakeholders varies significantly. This indicator addresses the process by which a utility develops its inputs and proposals regarding energy planning and infrastructure development and involves civil society organizations in such a process. 2. Compilation 2.1 Identify the earliest point at which informed stakeholder inputs are requested and inputs are obtained including before decisions are taken. Decisions include, but are not limited to, resource planning, proposals for the siting of facilities and transmission lines, and changes to customer programs. 2.2 Energy planning and infrastructure development covers a range of policy decisions related to areas such as: • Energy demand projections; • Energy sources and technologies; • Site planning and displacement; • Rate and tariff setting; • Climate change and environmental impacts; and • Others. Indicator Protocols Set: SO 2.3 Identify the range of policy decisions where the reporting organization is active. This may relate to international, national or regional policy or planning or to the development of specific projects or infrastructure. 2.4 Identify the type of authorities which are engaged. These may be local regulators, governments, public agencies or commissions, etc. 2.5 Identify civil society organizations, which are engaged. These may be community associations, NGOs, worker organizations, citizen groups, etc. 2.6 Report processes project by project regarding the involvement of stakeholders in the decision making process regarding energy planning and development, in terms of: • Groups to be informed and consulted; • Points in the decision-making process for consultation; • How early in the decision-making process stakeholders are engaged; • Management level within the organization responsible for the consultation; • Information and resources provided to support participation process (including measures to ensure vulnerable stakeholders are informed, engaged and empowered); and • The channels through which stakeholder participation occurs. The organization should state how the consultation process varies depending on factors such as the type of policy or infrastructure in question or the regulatory regime. 3. Definitions Refer to G3 definition of stakeholder. Participation Criteria for participation may include: ability to influence decisions through timely access to relevant material and mechanisms for systematic input. Degree of participation will range from information sharing, through consultation to shared decision making. EU IP & EUSS EU Version 3.0/EUSS Final Version 3
