EWRC published meeting minutes of a closed Commission’s meeting at which the final texts of Electricity trading rules (ETR) were approved. The changes will come into force after their announcement in а State Gazette. Some of the more important points are:
- The definition of Settlement Period does not change. Hence Settlement period is the time interval equal to 1 hour or the time interval specified in the instruction of the TSO (ESO)
- The formula for calculating the balancing prices is changed. The new formula will enter into force from 1.07.2020 (attached)
- ESO will now have to announce on its website information about the current balance of the system – no later than 30 minutes after the delivery (physical delivery hour)
- By the end of the month following the month of entry into force of these rules, RES with a capacity of 1 MW or more than 1 MW, members of a combined balancing group, transfer their responsibility for balancing to a standard balancing group coordinator
- Until 31.12.2020 ESO, together with the electricity distribution system operators, will publish an instruction setting the requirements of the format for data exchange
- Aggregators are introduced in the new rules
All approved changes can be found in the minutes (only in BG) of the closed meeting of EWRC:
