5 ERI Central Eastern EuropeCEE Stakeholder Group Meeting, 7th November 2007
Capacity Calculation
- ERGEG’s assessment - in most regions, approach towards flow based calculations- CEE – see separate agenda point- CWE – dedicated workstream for maximizing firm cross border
capacities with common capacity calculation method- Common grid models not used yet, but under development
- Responding Stakeholders- Considering flow based calculation as a step forward, but
difficult to implement, follow up and monitor- Supporting development of common network model and at
least regional TSO coordination- Asking for improvements in TSO data exchange- Requesting transparency in capacity calculation
6 ERI Central Eastern EuropeCEE Stakeholder Group Meeting, 7th November 2007
Long Term Capacity Allocation
- ERGEG’s assessment – mainly dealing with explicit auctions- Coexistence of explicit auctions across regions - Harmonization of
auction rules- Definition and harmonization of products (firmness, timeframes …)- Governance, e.g. in relation to Auction Office
- Responding Stakeholders- Recognizing mainly a need for long term allocations- Supporting harmonized products and platforms – at least per region- Requesting “one-stop-shop” solutions
7 ERI Central Eastern EuropeCEE Stakeholder Group Meeting, 7th November 2007
Day Ahead Capacity Allocations
- ERGEG’s assessment – mainly dealing with implicit auctions - Importance of market design issues (e.g. gate closure times)- Various possibilities of Market Coupling (price vs. volume coupling)- Governance of Auction Offices and Power Exchanges
- Responding Stakeholders- Supporting the development towards implicit auctions- See “competition” between Power Exchanges as a beneficial
situation- See the need for harmonization of vital issues in market design
8 ERI Central Eastern EuropeCEE Stakeholder Group Meeting, 7th November 2007
Intraday
- ERGEG’s assessment - Intraday is on the agenda in most regions- Certain development towards continuous trading- No specific assessment regarding convergence possible at the
beginning of the Public Consultation
- Responding Stakeholders- Not always considered as an issue of topmost priority - Do not have a uniform view regarding “exclusive” vs. “non-
exclusive” platforms
9 ERI Central Eastern EuropeCEE Stakeholder Group Meeting, 7th November 2007
Balancing
- ERGEGs assessment - Several bilateral initiatives existing- Relationship to Intraday markets existing
- Responding Stakeholders- See an enhanced need for harmonization of various aspects (e.g.
of remuneration schemes)- Technically challenging and should not delay work on other issues
(e.g. day ahead Congestion Management)- Point to the situation with congested interconnections
10 ERI Central Eastern EuropeCEE Stakeholder Group Meeting, 7th November 2007
Transparency
- ERGEGs assessment - Very important issue for creating a level playing field- Addressed in similar ways in several regions
- Responding Stakeholders- Agree with importance of transparency and ask for harmonization
across the Regions- Refer to positive attempts regarding common information platforms
(ETSOVISTA)- Ask partly for binding rules
