• Development of German virtual hubs

success

• Capacity access may reduce imbalance risk

Nature of Auction

• Held early in the day to promote further trading activity

• No upper or lower price limits

• Could use a cleared price

• Same per unit revenues (could differ for firm and interruptible)

accrue to either the TSO or users offering capacity

• Half revenue to users placing only entry or exit

10EFETwww.EFET.org

Implementation

• Sought implementation by 1 April 2007

• Auction through secure websites

• Use of a common platform to avoid system duplication

• Outcomes to provide lessons for auctions of other capacity

products
