  • Application to Introduce Implicit Loss Handling on the Skagerrak Interconnector
    Application to introduce implicit loss handling on the Skagerrak Interconnector The enclosed document contains the rationale for the joint application of Energinet and Statnett to introduce implicit loss functionality on the Skagerrak interconnector. The document includes a description of the applied-for method and an assessment of the expected socio-economic consequences, including distribution effects, from introducing implicit loss handling on the Skagerrak Interconnector. Further, Appendix 1-3 respectively include further description of the principle, the socio-economic analysis and analysis of intraday arbitrage. The implicit loss functionality will be implemented by the introduction of a fixed annual loss factor for the Skagerrak Interconnector. The loss factor will be adjusted annually based on historic median flow for all hours with flow for the Interconnector. The annual socio-economic gain from introducing implicit loss handling for the Skagerrak Interconnector is estimated at approximately EUR 0.9 million for Norway and EUR 2,3 million for Denmark. The title and thus the scope of Annex I to Regulation 714/2009, “Guidelines on the management and allocation of available transfer capacity of interconnections between national systems”, support the Annex having a substantial legal significance of its own. For example, the Annex may provide a legal basis for introducing methodologies of cross-border significance on an interconnector. As an EEA EFTA State, the Norwegian parliament has voted to incorporate the EU’s 3rd Energy Package, including Regulation 714/2009, into national legislation. However, the entry into force of that legislation is contingent on adoption by all EEA EFTA States, and adoption by Iceland is still lacking.

  • Market Information Regarding Cobracable 1/5
    Market information regarding COBRAcable 1/5 Energinet Tonne Kjærsvej 65 DK-7000 Fredericia MEMO +45 70 10 22 44 [email protected] VAT no. 28 98 06 71 Date: MARKET INFORMATION R EGARDING COBRACABLE 4. december 2017 Author: RKI/RKI COBRAcable will according to the current plans go into operation in the end of Q1 2019. The interconnector is 700 MW and connects The Netherlands and West Denmark (DK1). Below the market setup for COBRAcable is described. 1. Reasoning behind market information COBRAcable goes live at the same time many of the methodologies given by the network codes are being developed. COBRAcable will, like all other Danish interconnectors, be integrated in the methods given by the network codes, but as these are not fully developed or implemented at go-live of COBRAcable, Energinet wants to make sure that the markets and The Danish Ener- gy Regulatory Authority (DERA) are informed about the market setup of COBRAcable. It is to be noted that none of the principles for COBRAcable given below are in conflict with the principles that are expected from the network codes. This document has the sole purpose of ensuring that the market is informed of COBRAcable and the market setup. 2. Two Price Zones in Denmark Go-live of COBRAcable does not change the fact that there will be two spot price areas (bidding zones) in Denmark, DK1 and DK2, with separate bidding and scheduling. 3. Day Ahead Market The total available capacity of COBRAcable will be available for the market coupling – this means that no reservations are expected on the interconnector in relation to the day ahead market.

  • PRESS RELEASE Milan, 1 February 2016. Prysmian Group, World
    PRESS RELEASE PRYSMIAN, SECURES CONTRACT WORTH AROUND € 250 M FOR A SUBMARINE POWER CABLE LINK BETWEEN THE NETHERLANDS AND DENMARK THE COBRACABLE HVDC LINK IS KEY FOR A SUSTAINABLE EUROPEAN ENERGY LANDSCAPE PRYSMIAN WILL INVEST IN SUBMARINE CABLE PRODUCTION CAPACITY UPGRADE AND THE ACQUISITION OF A NEW BARGE TO WIDEN RANGE OF INSTALLATION CAPABILITIES Milan, 1 February 2016. Prysmian Group, world leader in the energy and telecom cable systems industry, has been awarded a new contract worth around € 250 million for an HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) submarine interconnector that will link Denmark and the Netherlands, by TenneT TSO B.V. and Energinet.dk SOV, the operators of the Dutch and of the Danish power transmission grids, respectively. The COBRAcable (“COpenhagen BRussels Amsterdam”cable) will provide benefit to the electricity grids of both countries involved, as it will make Dutch power capacity structurally available to Denmark and vice versa, increasing security of supply and enabling the further integration of renewable energy into the electricity grids. The COBRAcable interconnector will therefore contribute to the realisation of a sustainable international energy landscape, a key aim of the European Union, who is to support the project through the EEPR (European Energy Programme for Recovery). The connection will be constructed using High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology, which minimizes transmission losses over the long distances involved. “This important award reconfirms our prominent role in the submarine cables sector - states Massimo Battaini Senior Vice President Energy Projects at Prysmian Group - as well as acknowledging our commitment to the development of smarter and greener power grids.

    PRESS RELEASE HVDC TEST ON THE COBRACABLE SUBMARINE POWER CABLE LINK BETWEEN THE NETHERLANDS AND DENMARK SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE CONTRACT WAS AWARDED BY TENNET TSO B.V. AND ENERGINET SOV, OPERATORS OF THE DUTCH AND DANISH POWER TRANSMISSION GRIDS COBRACABLE HVDC LINK IS KEY FOR A SUSTAINABLE EUROPEAN ENERGY LANDSCAPE Milan, 4 November 2019 - Prysmian Group, world leader in the energy and telecom cable systems industry, announces the successful completion of the HVDC test on the submarine interconnector COBRAcable that links The Netherlands and Denmark. The announcement takes place during the COBRAcable link’s official inauguration event, simultaneously held in Eemshaven (NL) and Endrup (DK), in the presence of representatives from the Dutch and Danish ministries, confirming the successful completion of the trial operation performed by the contractor. Prysmian had secured this project in February 2016 with a contract awarded by TenneT TSO B.V. and Energinet SOV, operators of the Dutch and Danish power transmission grids, respectively. The COBRAcable interconnector produces benefits for both Denmark and The Netherlands, ensuring a reliable energy supply in the two countries. It also contributes to the development of a sustainable international energy landscape, a key priority for the European Union, which is supporting the project through the EEPR (European Energy Programme for Recovery). As a one-stop-shop solution provider, Prysmian supplied and installed a ±320 kV HVDC bipole system, using single- core cables with extruded insulation technology and running for a total route of around 325 km, from Eemshaven (NL) to Endrup (DK) via the German North Sea sector. The project includes two onshore lengths of 1 km on the Dutch side and 25 km on the Danish side that will connect the two onshore converter stations, provided under separate contract by Siemens.
