Italian Borders Market Coupling – Communication towards the MPs Borders ready for the Go-Live window starting mid-February 2015 & Invitation to the Members Tests

As a follow-up to our previous news, ELES is publishing thefollowing information.

Borders ready for the Go-Live window starting mid-February 2015

The start of the Go-Live window of the Italian Borders Market Coupling project is currently foreseen mid-February 2015. The effective Go-Live date will be confirmed after the positive finalization of market participants tests in January 2015. The Go-Live is subject to the regulators’ approval. The borders ready for this Go-Live window are:

  • Italy – Austria
  • Italy – France
  • Italy – Slovenia*

* The operational continuity of the coupling process on SI-IT border will be assured when switching from the already existing bilateral market coupling project to the regional one, avoiding decoupling of this border.

Member testing schedule

The member test sessions will be organized on business days only and are planned to take place between January the 08th and the 20th. The following test scenarios are planned:
