30 June 2015 Joint Allocation Office (JAO) to be established on 1 September 2015 On 24 June 2015 the General Assemblies of CAO and CASC.EU, the two regional allocation offices for cross-border electricity transmission capacities, approved the merger agreement to create the Joint Allocation Office (JAO). This is a major milestone for facilitation of the internal electricity market in the European Union. The JAO is a joint service company of twenty Transmission System Operators (TSOs) from seventeen countries*. It will mainly perform the yearly, monthly and daily auctions of transmission rights on 27 borders in Europe and act as a fall-back for the European Market Coupling. After two years of careful and intensive preparation, the new allocation platform will be established on 1 September 2015 and initially perform auctions for the 2016 annual transmission rights. The JAO constitutes a merger of CAO Central Allocation Office GmbH located in Germany and CASC.EU S.A. located in Luxembourg. After the merger, both offices will run in parallel until the end of 2015 to ensure uninterrupted operation of the monthly and daily auctions on all borders concerned. All operations will be fully transferred to Luxembourg in the first quarter of 2016. The JAO substantially increases the efficiency and transparency of the electricity market in Europe by becoming the single point of contact for market participants, creating a liquid and almost Europe- wide platform for transmission rights allocation. Zbyněk Boldiš (ČEPS, Czech TSO), the chairman of the Joint Steering Team of the merger project, underlines: “With only one technical interface for managing most European borders, the JAO simplifies trading to more than 200 market participants and promises savings of several million Euros to the TSOs in the next years.” As harmonisation of Auction Rules is an ongoing process, the JAO will adapt its services accordingly as soon as the Harmonised Auction Rules have been approved by all National Regulatory Agencies in charge. The JAO is open for other TSOs who can join by becoming shareholders of the JAO or just by using its services. * 50Hertz (DE), Admie (GR), Amprion (DE), APG (AT), ČEPS (CZ), CREOS (LU), ELES (SI), ELIA (BE), EnerginetDK (DK), HOPS (HR), MAVIR (HU), PSE (PL), RTE (FR), SEPS (SK), Statnett (NO), Swissgrid (CH), TenneT (DE), TenneT (NL), Terna (IT), TransnetBW (DE) .

Cross-Border Electricity Trading in Southeast Europe Towards an Internal European Market †

Received: 8 December 2020; Accepted: 14 December 2020; Published: 17 December 2020 Abstract: The European Commission’s Target Model’s main objective is to integrate European electricity markets, leading to a single internal energy market and guaranteeing the instantaneous balance between electricity generation and demand. According to the target model for electricity trading, proposed by the European Network Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E), within each zone, electricity can be traded freely without taking into consideration network limitations. In contrast, for cross-border trading, the exchanges with other market areas are taken into account. Cross-border trade poses a further burden on the interconnection lines, resulting in increasing network congestion, which in turn restricts electricity trading. Thus, calculating the available capacity for trade has a significant ramification on the market. Today, the Available Transfer Capacity (ATC) mechanism dominates cross-border trading, but this methodology may be replaced by the Flow-Based (FB) approach across Europe.

Status Review on Implementation of TSO and DSO Unbundling Provisions
Legal Affairs Committee Implementation of TSO and DSO Unbundling Provisions – Update and Clean Energy Package Outlook CEER Status Review Ref: C18-LAC-02-08 14 June 2019 Council of European Energy Regulators asbl Cours Saint-Michel 30a, Box F – 1040 Brussels, Belgium Arrondissement judiciaire de Bruxelles – RPM 0861.035.445 Ref: C18-LAC-02-08 CEER Status Review on TSO and DSO Unbundling INFORMATION PAGE Abstract This CEER document (C18-LAC-02-08) presents an updated Status Review on the Implementation of Transmission and Distribution System Operators’ Unbundling Provisions of the 3rd Energy Package, focusing on new developments since summer 2015. It also briefly summarises the main changes and novelties with regard to unbundling-related provisions that were made in the recasts of the Electricity Directive and Electricity Regulation within the framework of “Clean Energy for All Europeans” package (CEP). Under the 3rd Energy Package, energy networks are subject to unbundling requirements which oblige Member States to ensure the separation of vertically integrated energy companies, resulting in the separation of the various stages of energy supply (generation, transmission, distribution, and retail). This Status Review aims to assess the status of DSO and TSO unbundling, highlighting the new developments since 2015 and to provide an overview of the main changes in unbundling-related provisions introduced in CEP. Topics explored included related issues such as: cases and reasons for reopening certification decisions; branding; financial independence in terms of staff and resources; compliance programmes and officers; investments, joint-venture TSOs and joint undertakings. Target Audience European Commission, energy suppliers, traders, gas/electricity customers, gas/electricity industry, consumer representative groups, network operators, Member States, academics and other interested parties.

ITALIAN BORDERS SUCCESSFULLY COUPLED a Further Significant Step Towards an Integrated European Power Market
Multi-Regional Price Coupling of Italian Borders Coupling Regions Market Coupling ITALIAN BORDERS SUCCESSFULLY COUPLED A further significant step towards an integrated European power market 24 February2015. The Italian Borders Market Coupling was successfully launched today. The Italian-Austrian, Italian-French and Italian-Slovenian borders have been coupled with the Multi- Regional Coupling (MRC), thus linking the majority of EU power markets–from Finland to Portugal and Slovenia.The launch of the Italian Borders Market Coupling provides evidence of the flexibility and reliability of the Price Coupling of Regions (PCR) solution. Today for the first time, capacity for the Italian-Austrian, Italian-French and Italian-Slovenian borders has been implicitly allocated through the PCR solution for the Day-Ahead markets, making those borders part of the MRC. This full price coupling allows the simultaneous calculation of electricity prices and cross-border flows across the region. This will bring a benefit for end-consumers derived from a more efficient use of the power system and cross-border infrastructures as a consequence of a stronger coordination between energy markets. With this achievement, cross-border capacity of all interconnectors within and between the following countries is now allocated in the day-ahead timeframe: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland (via the SwePol Link), Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. The Day-Ahead markets of MRC extended to the Italian Borders Market Coupling now cover 19 European countries, accounting for about 2,800 TWh of yearly consumption. The daily average cleared volume over these countries amounts to over 4 TWh, with an average daily value of over €150m.
