Update on Coordination of long term auctions in the FUI region FUI IG, London, 13th September
Background • Dublin FUI SG: Coordination of long-term auctions = medium priority • Work to date: Identified challenges involved in coordination, highlighted opportunity for “quick wins” • EC “reasoned opinion” highlighted lack of coordination of congestion management methods in FUI • Nothing implemented • No roadmap or commitment to timescales to coordinate • Cited Article 3.5 – Congestion Management Guidelines …
Priority areas identified for coordination(Art 3.5, CMG Annex) “With a view to promoting fair and efficient competition and cross border trade, coordination between TSOs within regions … shall include all the steps from capacity calculation and optimisation of allocation to secure operation of the network with clear assignments of responsibility …” • Identical obligations on capacity holders to provide information on their intended use of the capacity, i.e. nomination of capacity (for explicit auctions), • Identical timeframes and closing times, • Identical structure for the allocation of capacity among different timeframes (e.g. 1 day, 3 hours, 1 week, etc.) and in terms of blocks of capacity sold (amount of power in MW, MWh, etc.), • Consistent contractual framework with market participants,
Next steps:Following teleconference 04/08/10 • Coordination of capacity allocation and improving consistency of access rules within the Region (and where appropriate beyond) is a priority for FUI • EirGrid, SONI and Moyle public procurement process for a new auction platform launched 23 July 2010, for operation on Moyle Q2/Q3 2011 • be common across Moyle and East-West; • introduce day-ahead allocations on Moyle; and • be developed with a view to consistency with other IFA and BritNed • Regulators and TSOs in the region to assess commonalities and differences in the auction rules across the region (based on the relevant aspects of Article 3.5 of the CMG) • Initial assessment of areas of commonality completed October 2011 • Further work to harmonise approach and produce common access rules document for FUI Region • Regulators and TSOs to evaluate options for a common portal for auctions • E.g. CASC model etc. • Initial evaluation to be completed in early 2011 (after EirGrid/SONI tender process is completed)
LT auction rules and conditions: Overview • Moyle v.different as platform not automated, but • New platform being commissioned • Opportunity to redefine products, introduce new timeframe and harmonise … • How can FUI work coordinate with Moyle/EW access rules process? • IFA, large number of different products available, v. flexible • IFA & BritNed greater levels of synergy • Harmonisation of FUI access rules should be made with a view to ensuring consistency with other Regions and compliance with Third Package/CMGs … • What about day ahead?
