Nordic TSOs' methodology for ramping restrictions for active power output (amended)

Overview

This consultation concerns the amended methodology of all Nordic TSOs for ramping restrictions for active power output in accordance with Article 137(3) and (4) of the Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1485 of 2 August 2017 establishing a guideline on electricity transmission system operation (SO Regulation).

The main trigger for this amendment is the change from a Market Time Units (MTU) of 60 minutes to a MTU of 15 minutes in both the intraday market and day-ahead market. The ramping restrictions on HVDC interconnectors have been amended accordingly. Furthermore, the existing ramping rules for power generating modules in Finland, Norway and Sweden will become obsolete.

The TSOs further introduce an annual review and revision cycle that shall take care of continuously updating the ramping restrictions.

The common proposal of the Nordic TSOs can be found below under the Related Documents.
