  • Dansk Energi Brev
    To: Energinet Astrid Buhr Broge [email protected] [email protected] Dok. ansvarlig: CAC Sekretær: Sagsnr: s2013-388 Doknr: d2021-22033-1.0 30. august 2021 Energinet consultation on the methodology for procurement of counter- trade energy Dansk Energi welcomes Energinet’s consultation on the methodology for procurement of so-called countertrade energy. Energinet has highlighted several issues driving the proposed methodology over the past year. However, the central task of a TSO is not to arrange a border specific market setup according to cli- mate effects or according to the costs of specific market dispatches. The central task of a TSO is to facilitate markets that provides correct price and investments signals in compliance with EU-regulation. Energinet’s proposed methodology seeks to address an internal German issue – lack of capacity in TenneT’s transmission grid – which has previously resulted in heavy reduction of capacity on the Dan- ish-German border. While this was solved with the Joint Declaration and Tennet Commitments in 2017-2018, Energinet’s proposed methodology rolls back these advances. The proposed methodology will sustain a distorted day-ahead market price formation in Denmark, an intraday market in DK1 with no export capacity towards Germany and an intraday market in Denmark where Energinet directly or through a third party is by far the largest market participant. These are not efficient elements in a well-functioning wholesale market and Dansk Energi does not consider it compliant with EU-regulation, nor do we consider it a proportional solution to address the internal German grid congestion. At this stage, Dansk Energi would like to highlight the following concerns and objections: 1.

  • Tennet's Annual Market Update 2020
    Annual Market Update 2020 Electricity market insights 7 April 2021 Introduction Introduction Annual Market Update 2020, an electricity market review focused on the Netherlands and Germany, including wider European trends Main findings This Annual Market Update (AMU) is focussed on relevant developments on the Central Western European electricity markets, and the Dutch and German electricity markets in particular. This is the third edition of the Wholesale market prices TenneT Annual Market Update. Previous editions of the AMU and its predecessor the TenneT Market Review can be found here. Fuel prices & The developments in the Annual Market Update are structured alongside several main topics: generators • The chapter Wholesale market prices discusses wholesale day-ahead and identifies price trends. • As our electricity system is still highly dependent on fossil-fuelled power, the chapter Fuel prices describes Capacity & developments in hard coal, natural gas and emission allowance prices, as well as the margins for generators. generation • The chapter Capacity & generation focuses on the supply side of the electricity system and discusses developments in installed capacity and generation. RES support • Support for renewables in the Dutch and German system are discussed in the chapter RES support schemes, schemes by looking at budget distribution, awarded capacity and generation in the subsidy schemes. • In the chapter Wholesale market integration the storyline zooms out and includes the interactions of the Dutch Wholesale market and German electricity system with neighbouring systems. Additionally, the ongoing efforts of coupling EU integration electricity markets are discussed in this chapter. • The last two chapters focus on mechanisms in place to ensure the stability and functioning of the electricity system for both the Netherlands and Germany: Balancing measures, to ensure supply and demand is equal at Balancing all times; and redispatch measures, to resolve congestion in the grid.

Wolpert (TransnetBW GmbH, Germany) SUMMARY For the achievement of the European Union’s ambitious renewable energy targets for 2020 and beyond, extensive electricity system planning and investments are necessary. This covers electricity generation capacity, transmission networks, and supporting technologies and measures that will ensure clean, secure and efficient energy supply. Within this framework, the European project GridTech mainly aims at conducting a fully integrated assessment of new grid-impacting technologies and their implementation into the European electricity system. This will allow comparing different technological options towards the exploitation of the full potential of future electricity production from renewable energy sources (RES), with the lowest possible total electricity system cost. Within the 2020, 2030 and 2050 time horizons, the goal is to assess where, when, and to which extent innovative technologies could effectively contribute to the further development of the European transmission grid, fostering the integration of an ever-increasing penetration of RES generation and boosting the creation of a pan-European electricity market, while maintaining secure, competitive and sustainable electricity supply.

    National Grid Ventures and other activities Investor Relations | May 2019 National Grid Ventures is a diverse portfolio of commercial energy businesses operating in competitive markets in the UK and the US. The portfolio comprises of long-term assets with a low risk profile and strong cash flows. Interconnectors Operational In construction Interconnectors deliver secure and affordable electricity between two markets and will play a critical role in the cleaner and smarter energy systems of the future. They are recognised by the UK Government as a vital tool to manage NSL energy security, costs to consumers and provide long term sustainability. As an interconnector owner and operator, we sell capacity on the Viking interconnector to energy traders and provide services for transmission system operators in the UK and mainland Europe. The main interconnection capacity is sold by auctioning capacity based on the price differentials between markets BritNed at each end of the link. This represents roughly 80-90% of revenues, with the remaining 10-20% derived from ancillary services.

  • (APG) Joins European Crowd Balancing Platform EQUIGY
    More Flexibility for the Electricity Grid: Austrian Power Grid (APG) Joins European Crowd Balancing Platform EQUIGY The digital “crowd balancing platform” EQUIGY helps to manage the energy transition and makes it easier for new and small players to participate in markets for grid balancing and the redispatch portfolio. On February 1, APG joined the crowd balancing platform EQUIGY as its fifth member, next to the transmission grid operators Swissgrid (CH), TenneT (in both Germany and the Netherlands) and Terna (IT). The aim of the joint venture is to unlock small-scale resources as system service providers and thus improve grid balancing in view of the increasing volatile production of electricity from renewables. APG’s focus is particularly on expanding and increasing the efficiency of the balancing energy markets and redispatch portfolio. Digital platform facilitates cost-efficient energy transition Renewables cover the energy consumption in parts of Europe to an ever-increasing extent. Also in Austria the share of weather-dependent wind and sun energy in electricity generation is growing continuously. At the same time, the energy demand increases due to new consumers such as electric cars, heat pumps, electricity-based production processes in commerce and industry, or storage batteries. APG’s CFO Thomas Karall analyzes the current situation: “In light of the transformation of the energy system, it is increasingly challenging for TSOs like APG to maintain a stable balance in the delicate interaction between energy supply and demand. If we want to be successful in our efforts also in the future, it will be essential to facilitate a transparent access to the energy system for all customers – households, as well as commerce and industry.
