Launch of Flow-Based Market Coupling in the Core region

Today, 8.6.2022, the 16 Transmission System Operators (TSOs) of the Core Capacity Calculation Region (Core CCR), together with 10 Nominated Electricity Market Operators (NEMOs), introduced the Core FlowBased Day-ahead Market Coupling. Having a harmonized capacity calculation methodology in place in the Core CCR makes the European electricity system more efficient and robust. This harmonization thereby improves the capacity allocation in the Core CCR and enables the European power grid to transport more electricity across borders leading to lower overall cost. Furthermore it allows for an improved cooperation between all involved parties. Finally, market participants will also benefit from further improved transparency of all capacity related data. The new Flow-Based Market Coupling Mechanism is another landmark step in the energy transition. It enhances the European grid’s ability to manage fluctuations in the supply of wind, solar and other renewable energy, thereby contributing to sustainable value for society.
