- 3. Energy Community SecretariatEnergy Community Secretariat 3 Why transparency is important? • A quick win with significant effect on market opening • Data available • Allows market users to make use of their rights TPA and responsibilities BAL • Price is right only if the information on fundamentals that point to such price are publically available • If not, the price can be as close as to being correct as the availability of information • or, even manipulated!

- 7. Energy Community SecretariatEnergy Community Secretariat 7 Electricity Regulation1.1.2014 • Target: well-functioning and transparent wholesale market • Access to networks – transparent charges and conditions, allocation process (re- allocation) Annex I –Transparency chapter – further detailed in the Transparency Regulation • TSO publication of info on network (un)availability • Report on congestion (where & why), methods applied to manage congestion • Publish capacity allocation rules and procedures, including all operational data on available cross-border capacity • Unavailability of generation/consumption units – threshold 100MW • Relevant info on demand and generation forecast • NRAs to be transparent on the congestion income and their use
- 8. Energy Community SecretariatEnergy Community Secretariat 8 Transparency Regulation 1.1.2014 • Requirement to establish a central transparency platform https://transparency.entsoe.eu/ • Requirements to TSOs to submit data to ENTSO-E • Requirement to data owners (Gen, DSO, Cons.

Energy Community SecretariatEnergy Community Secretariat 9 Operational requirements Transparency Regulation – Load data Load data Actual load per bidding zone D-1 load forecast per market unit (per hour) W-1 load forecast (total load for every day with min/max per day) M-1 load forecast (total load for every week with min/max per week) Y-1 load forecast (total load for every week with min/max per week) Y-1 forecast margin Planned unavailability of consumption units (100 MW) per market unit Actual unavailability of consumption units (100 MW) per market unit
- 10. Energy Community SecretariatEnergy Community Secretariat 10 Operational requirements Transparency Regulation – Transmission data (1) Report on developments (grid expansion) Planned unavailability of transmission grid Changes in actual unavailability of interconnections and transmission grid Unavailability of offshore infrastructure Yearly forecasted cross- zonal capacity Monthly forecasted cross-zonal capacity Weekly forecasted cross-zonal capacity D-1 forecasted cross- zonal capacity (NTC) D-1 offered cross-zonal capacity (NTC allocation method) D-1 offered cross-zonal capacity (Flow-based allocation method) Transmission data
- 11. Energy Community SecretariatEnergy Community Secretariat 11 Operational requirements Transparency Regulation – Transmission data (2) Other offered transfer capacity (Semester, quarter, weekend, etc.) Intraday offered cross- zonal capacity (NTC allocation method) Restrictions on DC links – ramping restrictions Intraday offered cross- zonal capacity (Flow- based allocation method) Restrictions on DC links – intraday transfer limits Yearly report about critical network elements limiting offered capacity Explicit allocation – capacity requested by the market Explicit allocation – capacity allocated to the market Explicit allocation – price of the capacity Explicit allocation – auction revenue per border between bidding zones Transmission data
- 12. Energy Community SecretariatEnergy Community Secretariat 12 Operational requirements Transparency Regulation – Transmission data (3) Total capacity nominated from explicit allocation Total capacity allocated Implicit allocations – net positions Day-ahead prices Implicit allocation – congestion income Total scheduled commercial exchanges Physical flows Transfer capacity allocated with third countries Congestion management – redispatchning Congestion management – countertrading Transmission data Congestion management report (on costs)
- 13. Energy Community SecretariatEnergy Community Secretariat 13 Operational requirements Transparency Regulation – Generation data Installed generation capacity - aggregated Installed generation capacity – per production unit D-1 forecasts for wind and solar D-1 aggregated generation Planned unavailability of generation unit Actual unavailability of generation unit Planned unavailability of production unit Actual unavailability of production unit Actual generation per unit Aggregated generation per type Actual wind and solar power generation Generation data Pumped storage/reservoir stored energy
- 14. Energy Community SecretariatEnergy Community Secretariat 14 Operational requirements Transparency Regulation – Balancing data Rules on Balancing Balancing reserves under contract Accepted aggregated offers (volume) Prices of the procured balancing reserves Volume of activated balancing reserve/energy Prices of activated balancing reserve/energy Imbalance prices Total imbalance volume per balancing time unit Monthly financial balance Aggregated volumes of offers for cross-border balancing activation Prices for balancing bids and offers (for control area) Volume for balancing energy activated (for control area) Balancing data
- 15. Energy Community SecretariatEnergy Community Secretariat 15 Conclusion – next step • Ensuring that market reforms are implemented • Transparency makes the process more credible • Ensuring that operational data are available to all market participants at the same time • For operational data quality matters • Format (user friendliness) • Timing of publication – each data set outlined previously has a clear deadline when it has to be published! … an information published later (outdated) = not published! • Centralized platforms are important to ensure quality
