Proposal for FCR cooperation market design

Overview

This stakeholder consultation concerns the Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) cooperation draft proposal for the market design and is performed in accordance with article 10 of the guideline on electricity balancing (GLEB). Article 33 of GLEB provides that TSOs exchanging balancing capacity shall develop a proposal for the establishment of common and harmonised rules and processes for the exchange and procurement of balancing capacity.

This stakeholder consultation also includes a consultation on the draft proposal for not allowing balancing service providers to cross border transfer their obligations to provide balancing capacity as described in GLEB Article 34 (1). In countries where national transfer is already allowed today this will remain in place.

Both draft proposals are published on the FCR Cooperation’s website.
