Overview

This consultation concerns the amended proposal 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 connection of the new HVDC interconnectors NordLink (in 2020) and North Sea Link (NSL) (in 2021) are the trigger for the proposed amendments to the methodology. The amendment to the proposal include ramping restrictions on these new HVDC interconnectors, introduce a combined ramping restriction for bidding zone NO2, remove the existing sum restriction on the Skagerrak and Konti-Skan HVDC interconnectors. Furthermore, the TSOs propose additional flexibility to increase the ramping rate on individual HVDC interconnectors covered by the combined restriction or decrease the ramping rate on HVDC interconnectors in certain critical cases.

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