Strengthening Transmission Utilities and System Operators

TenneT actively contributes to the further integration of the European energy market and the development of a North West European electricity market (NWE).

A power forward contract is an agreement between two counter parties for the delivery of electricity at a certain time in the future for a certain price that is agreed and fixed at the start of the contract.

This shows that the energy sector is progressively moving away from conventional generation technologies towards a renewable energy scenario. Wind power was the leading technology in terms of new installation accounting for 32% (11,2GW) of the new installations in 2013, followed by solar PV with a 31% (11 GW) and gas with a 21% (7,5 GW).

They need a reliable partner that can provide independent market information (transparency) and market access (liquidity).

This slideshow provides general information that has, for education (illustration) purposes, been simplified for certain aspects.

Power Exchange mobilizes the bids and offers in the market for the Market Coupling: without this market participation, the Market Coupling would not work. Also, the exchange has to do substantial infrastructure investments and activities to participate in the Market Coupling.

Time allowance for special market procedures such as handling of curtailment situations or price threshold reached via a second auction used by CWE PXs or the NPS-applied regulated routines that include peak load capacity (production/load) reserves activation.

The modular infrastructure will support the entire market management operation from scheduling processes, to imbalance management, to settlement – all while maintaining optimal service and adaptability to future market conditions.

Aligning National Electricity Policy to recognize CBET as an integral part of the national electricity plan by reviewing existing electricity plan and review of laws, acts ,policies for identifying specific provision/clauses that impacts CBET.

Study on Review of Electricity Laws, Regulations, Policies (EL&R&P) & Legal Structure of South Asian Countries (SAC) to Identify Areas that can Hinder Cross Border Electricity Trade (CBET) and to recommend changes/amendments therein for consideration of the SAC.

Early phases of SARI/E concentrated on a “top down” process focusing on bringing parties together and identifying a decision making frameworks for developing projects.

The various issues like technical complexities, risk of national grid interconnection, potential economic and financial benefits from interconnections.

Identify technically and economically feasible cross border interconnections considering generation capacity additions in pipeline over next 20-30 years. Evaluate electricity available for cross border exchange.

Task force is at the heart of the SARI/EI Program. PSC committee will also be consulted and their guidance/directives will also be taken in account in conducting the working of the Task Forces.

In order to ensure optimal management of the electricity transmission network and to allow trading and supplying electricity across borders in the Countries, South Asian Network of TSOs may be established.
