Quote

« First and foremost in the extremely technical work of draftingnetwork codes. This is very much work in progress, but it is

very simple: without the TSOs no network codes, and withoutnetwork codes, no functioning wholesale markets”.

(Günther Oettinger, European Commissioner for Energy at theFlorence Forum on 24 September 2013)

European Market Evolution

Pascale FonckEuropean Market Integration - ELIA

NWE Day-Ahead Price Coupling

AS IS- Two separate Market Couplings (CWE & Nordic) linked by

a volume coupling (ITVC organised by EMCC)

- Sequential calculation approach

- No common algorithm applied


TO BE- Full coupling with GB

- One single price coupling based on a single calculation

- One single common algorithm EUPHEMIA

- First implementation of PCR solution(PCR = Price Coupling of Regions)

NWE Day-Ahead Price Coupling – Status- All NWE procedures were established in close cooperation with the PCR project

and the regional projects.

- Partial coupling scenarios were introduced to allow as many as possible bordersand interconnectors to remain coupled in case an issue occurs in NWE.

- The Day-ahead Operational Contract between all the parties was agreed uponand the signing process is ongoing. Regional and local agreements are about tobe finished and signed

- Market participants were informed and prepared via 2 fora and through the NWEmember test, which was successfully performed in October.

- The project is now in the last stages and final versions of IT- systems aredelivered requesting one more round of testing to assure stability.


Target launch date NWE DA Market Coupling:February 4, 2014

(to be confirmed before Christmas)

CWE Flow Based Market Coupling - Project StatusParallel run results

- Parallel run (more than 10 months): increased welfare and improved priceconvergence

- Approval package sent to regulators- Engagement with Market Parties based on the outcomes of the Public

Consultation- Go Live foreseen end of June 2014 subject to external dependencies

CWE Flow-Based market Coupling - Project StatusNext steps


- Moving from ATC to Flow Based is a paradigm shiftboth for market parties and TSO operators whichmust be carefully managed

- Project Partners’ objective for the coming months is to progress on thefollowing key topics:– Robustness: shift to the industrialized IT tool, improve operators’ experience– Transparency: provide MPs with appropriate capacity calculation inputs for price

predictability => Bilateral meetings with MPs in order to better understand their concreteneeds– FB vs. FB Intuitive: in cooperation with NRAs, the Project aims at a clear proposal to MPs– Operational process and timings: Fallback and Rollback decisions and procedures;

timing for daily publications– Smooth transition between ATC based processes (yearly/monthly auctions, Intraday) and

FB daily process

Elia and Belpex experts on flow-based market couplingwill be happy to answer your questions
