The European Single Day-Ahead Coupling (SDAC) confirms the successful integration of BRM’s trading platform into SDAC. As of 19 November 2024, BRM (Romanian Commodities Exchange) has officially commenced operations as the second Nominated Electricity Market Operator (NEMO) in the Romanian Market Area under SDAC.
The integration of BRM’s trading platform into SDAC marks another important milestone towards increasing the efficiency of the single European Electricity Market. Market participants will benefit from an Electricity Market that becomes more liquid and therefore increasingly competitive. More market participants are joining SDAC, allowing for more assets to react to price signals and thereby adding flexibility and reducing price volatility.
About SDAC
SDAC allocates scarce cross-border transmission capacity in the most efficient way by coupling wholesale electricity markets from different regions through a common algorithm, simultaneously taking into account cross-border transmission constraints, thereby maximising social welfare.
The aim of SDAC is to create a single pan European cross zonal day-ahead electricity market. An integrated day-ahead market increases the overall efficiency of trading by promoting effective competition, increasing liquidity, and enabling a more efficient utilisation of generation resources across Europe.
