  Dear Intraday Electricity Market Participants,

  By this information, OPCOM wants to detail the milestones of Romania's joining process, together with six other countries, the fourteen countries already operating on a coupled mode at the level of single intra-day market coupling (Single Intra-Day Market Coupling, SIDC under Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/1222 of 24 July 2015 establishing a guideline on capacity allocation and congestion management), a process that will take place on 19.11.2019, respectively one week after the operational launch, on 12.11.2019, with commercial effects, of the intraday electricity market in Romania in accordance with the European Union legislation and subsequent secondary legislation approved by decisions of the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators, respectively by orders and decisions of the ANRE President. Thereby:

  • The trading day 19.11.2019, starting with 15:00 pm CET will be the first day of trading for the delivery day 20.11.2019 in the coupled operation of the intraday electricity market in Romania (Romania together with Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden) based on trading system M7 Trading and the new trading rules compliant with the related European Union legislation and subsequent secondary legislation approved by decisions of the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators, respectively by orders and decisions of the ANRE President.
  • The delivery day 19.11.2019 will be the last delivery day on the local intraday electricity market and starting with the delivery day 20.11.2019 OPCOM will become an operational part in the single intra-day market coupling, facilitating cross-border trading of electricity by the intraday market participants in Romania.

  By extending the operation of the intraday market in Romania at European level (for example, offers entered in the Romanian market will be able to be traded with those placed in any of the operational markets in the other 20 countries, within the limit of the available cross-border transfer capacity) and the adoption of the single European solution, it is expected to increase the liquidity of the intraday market, leading to the decrease of the  balancing market share and more accurate balancing and closer to the real time of participants, better use of capacity and generation resources, optimum use of cross-border transport capacity and, last but not least, as an indirect consequence, the increase of the safety in the electricity supply of the Romanian consumers.

  • Due to the need to achieve coordinated connection operations of the local trading systems to the common IT system consisting of a single order book from all markets and a capacity management module, respectively of the M7 Trading platform supporting the intraday electricity market starting with the date of 12.11.2019, trading for the delivery day of 19.11.2019 will be shorter, respectively will take place starting from 18.11.2019, 15:00 CET, until 19.11.2019, 10:00 am CET, which means that trading for 13-24 hourly intervals of delivery day 19.11.2019 will be possible until 10 am CET on the day of 19.11.2019.
  • We emphasize that starting with 19.11.2019 15:00 CET, as the opening time of trading for the delivery day of 20.11.2019, will be made available by the transmission system operators, also the cross-border capacity on the borders of the 21 countries that will operate in a coupled mode, the H2H matrix with ATC made available for intraday electricity markets coupling, including the RO-HU and RO-BG borders, being available in the new M7 trading system.
  • We remind that the products and contracts that will be available for trading starting with delivery day 20.11.2019 are those mentioned in the annex 1 of the Procedure related to the operation of the intraday electricity market.
  • The available validation guarantee for positive prices bids and/or negative price offers submitted in the new M7 Trading system, in the trading session that will open in coupled operation on the day of 19.11.2019 at 15:00 CET, for the delivery day 20.11.2019, will take into account the Settlement Notes drawn up for the delivery days 18.11.2019 and 19.11.2019, the last days for which trading will end on the intraday electricity market in Romania operating not coupled to XBID.
  • There will be no impact on the direct debit mandates that maintain their validity in the context of transition to the market coupling operation. Also, the validation guarantee available for the positive prices bids and/or the negative price offers submitted in the new M7 Trading system will be calculated as it happens starting with the trading for the delivery day 13.11.2019 in EUR using the exchange rate published by BNR (National Bank of Romania) on the day on which the bidding and trading process is opened for contracts related to the next delivery day. For Saturday, Sunday and Monday delivery days in order to determine the amount of the available validation guarantee in EUR, will be considered the exchange rate published by BNR on Friday, while for any other situations will be used the latest exchange rate published by BNR.
  • We remind that the Physical Notifications are carried out in the previous hour of delivery and subsequent to the moment when the trading of the contract to be delivered was completed, considering the delivery day in EET (Romania time).

  The access credentials to the M7 Trading system, as well as to the post-trading system, have been sent to all intraday market participants and does not change in the context of the coupling on November 19.

  Next steps in the Czech-Slovak-Hungarian-Polish-Romanian Market Integration

  Following the Memorandum of Understanding signed on 11 July 2013, the 5M MC Steering Committee, consisting of representatives of national regulatory authorities (ERÚ, ÚRSO, HEA, URE and ANRE), transmission system operators (ČEPS, SEPS, MAVIR, PSE, and Transelectrica) and power exchanges (OTE, OKTE, HUPX, TGE, and OPCOM) from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and Romania, discussed the next steps in market integration of the day-ahead electricity markets.
  Initially, parties faced a fundamental question on market organization in the context of other integration activities and interconnected electricity markets. A public survey addressed to companies active on the five markets aimed to gather feedback on possible implication of the proposed arrangements, mainly setting of a gate closure time (GCT) for entering the bids and scope of market integration (consult the survey questionnaire here).
  Based on a thorough analysis of the survey results, the national regulators (NRAs) concluded that there is no common position among the market participants in all involved markets regarding the proposed scenarios of five-market market coupling. In order not to hinder further market integration, the Steering Committee adopted the NRAs position that the market coupling project will start with 11:00 GCT and will involve the day-ahead electricity markets of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania. Compliance with NWE (North West Europe) region will be sought as much as possible. Close cooperation among 5M Market Coupling Project partners will be ensured to contribute to future market integration. The common opinion is that coupling of the Polish market area will be implemented later in the context of the CEE FBMC (Central East Europe Flow-Based Market Coupling) initiative. In the meantime, five power exchanges will continue to cooperate on implementation of the PCR solution (Price Coupling of Regions) declared as the target model in order to be ready for the European integration.
  Press Release.

  SURVEY ON MARKET COUPLING GATE CLOSURE TIME IN CZ-SK-HU & PL-RO DAY-AHEAD MARKETS

  Dear Market Participant,

  The CZ SK-HU Market Coupling has proven its benefits since its launch 11 September 2012. In order to provide benefits of implicit allocation to its market participants Romania and Poland expressed their interest in joining the current CZ SK HU MC (press release from 30 January 2013). All affected parties since then have been analyzing possibilities to extend the CZ-SK-HU MC towards these two countries while benefiting maximally from the integration.
  The most valuable and acceptable approach is considered and fundamental decisions has to be made. Currently the key point is discussed related primarily to an arrangement of capacity allocation on the common borders of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and Romania with respect to anticipated implementation of implicit auctions (i.e. market coupling): Gate Closure Time (GCT) of the markets involved in the future coupling. As all players on all involved markets may be affected by this parameter, the CZ-SK-HU-PL-RO TSOs and PXs (hereinafter Parties) kindly ask for feedback on this topic. Based on the result of the survey the final decision will be made by the relevant regulator authority of each country.
  In the abovementioned context and also having in mind that initiatives focused on Market Coupling in the CEE region face many challenges (especially related to development of the Flow Based capacity calculation method and unplanned flows issue), Agency for Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) and National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) suggested unofficially (as Joint Declaration has not been withdrawn) to benefit from the current connection of Polish day ahead electricity market to the future NWE region via the Swe-Pol DC cable. The idea of ACER and the NRAs is to connect the extended CZ SK HU MC with the Polish and Romanian markets to CWE/NWE markets using the Swe-Pol DC cable. This would have the following implications:
  • GCT would be set to 12h00 CET in all interconnected day-ahead markets: 5M and CWE/NWE (PL-SE, PL-CZ, PL-SK, CZ-SK, SK-HU, HU-RO);
  • The 5M MC would be coupled to the NWE region (FR, DE, BE, NL, DK, NO, SE, FI, etc.) with the only one interconnector: the Swe-Pol DC cable;
  • Explicit daily capacity auctions organized by CAO GmbH would be still performed at CZ DE, CZ AT, HU AT and PL DE profiles (with the same timing as today, i.e. GCT at 09h15 CET, results at 09h25 or 10h15 CET at the latest).
  We understand that proposed arrangement of capacity allocation and day-ahead markets can influence the market participants and their way of the trading.
  This extension of CZ SK HU MC is planned as an interim step towards the creation of the European Internal Electricity Market (i.e. inclusion of all borders within CEE region). The decision with this regard is going to be made in favor of market participants therefore we are interested in receiving your valuable opinion. It will considerably help TSOs, PXs and NRAs to plan the way forward towards the European Internal Electricity Market in the most efficient way.
  Please answer the following question:
  Do you have any objection to the solution where both the NWE region and five markets are coupled via Swe-Pol link and there will be one unique GCT set to 12h00 CET? At the same time on some borders between them the transmission capacity will be (for transitional period of time) still allocated via explicit auctions organized by CAO GmbH?
  • We do not have any objection against 12h00 CET.
  • Shifting GCT to 12h00 CET is not acceptable for us until implicit auction is introduced on all CEE borders. This means coupling with Polish day-ahead market will not be implemented before introduction of implicit auction on all CEE borders.
  If it is not acceptable for you, would you please indicate what your major concerns are?

  We all would like to thank you very much in advance for your valuable input to this issue. Your position will be taken into consideration by the final decision.

  
  

  Please see the entire content of the Survey, including the form to be returned in case of participation.
  Please note that ANRE is in charge of this Survey in Romania, therefore we kindly ask you to visit ANRE’s website for additional information concerning the development of this process.
