Amendment to the TSO-TSO settlement mechanism for the FCR Cooperation

Closed 25 Oct 2024

Opened 2 Sep 2024

Results expected 31 Oct 2024

Overview

FCR Cooperation TSOs are proposing a new Amendment to the TSOs’ proposal for the establishment of common and harmonised rules and processes for the exchange and procurement of Balancing Capacity for Frequency Containment Reserves (FCR) in accordance with Article 33 of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2195 establishing a guideline on electricity balancing (in this explanatory note, this document is referred to as the Amended FCR Proposal). With this new amendment, TSOs are proposing a change to the TSO-TSO settlement mechanism. This change would not change the operations of the market or the way BSPs are re-numerated, only the way TSOs renumerate TSOs for the import and export of FCR.

Why your views matter

FCR Cooperation TSOs want to ensure that stakeholders’ views have been fully considered before asking National Regulatory Authorities to approve the proposed change in TSO-TSO settlement mechanism.

What happens next

After consideration of stakeholders’ views, the Amendment to the TSOs’ proposal  for the establishment of common and harmonised rules and processes for the exchange and procurement of Balancing Capacity for Frequency Containment Reserves (FCR) will be submitted to FCR Cooperation NRAs for approval. If approved, the new TSO-TSO settlement mechanism will be implemented 01-01-2026.
