Events

  • ALPACA – aFRR Cooperation – Stakeholder Workshop

    From 19 Sep 2023 at 14:00 to 19 Sep 2023 at 16:00

    The TSOs of Austria, Czechia and Germany will hold a joint digital stakeholder workshop on ALPACA (Allocation and Procurement of aFRR Balancing Capacity Cooperation Agreement) on 19.09.2023 from 14:00 to 16:00. Since the response to the ongoing consultation is low, we want to offer this workshop at short notice.

    ALPACA seeks to establish a common procurement of balancing capacity of automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve (aFRR) at the CZ-DE and AT-CZ borders. The current German-Austrian cooperation to commonly procure aFRR remains in place.

    Topics of this workshop include an overview on the cooperation design and the current EBGL proposals as well as updates from the project. The workshop will be held in English.

    The exact agenda and dial-in dates will be communicated in time before the workshop. We kindly ask you to register your participation until 18.09.2023 by contacting the contact person of your connecting TSOs.

    We look forward to your participation!

    If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

    Kind regards
    Your TSOs
