Tracking Power by the Hour—New System Launched
Nord Pool is pleased to be part of a consortium of leading energy organisations headed by hourly certificate start-up Granular, that has launched a pilot for a new mechanism for hourly renewable energy certificates. The system is being piloted first in Great Britain, with a view to rolling-out more widely, soon.
A recent launch workshop in London was attended by more than 40 participants keen to find out more.
In existing energy certificate schemes renewable generation and consumption are matched on an annual basis, failing to reflect the ‘real world’ situation, where availability of renewable energy fluctuates.
The Granular system, designed to comply with EnergyTag guidelines, will allow participants to receive hourly certificates for their power generation in the Certigy registry, managed by established Guarantee of Origin registry provider Unicorn and is open to new participants.
Get in touch to find out more.
Core Flow-Based Going Live
It has been announced that go-live for the Core Flow Based Day Ahead Market Coupling will be Wednesday 8th June (for delivery Thursday 9th June). The project has created welcome additional time in the coupling process in the rare, but potentially highly disruptive, event of any decoupling.
The Core Flow-Based Market Coupling project promotes a flow-based day-ahead market coupling across the whole Core capacity calculation region (Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia) in the Single Day-Ahead Coupling framework.

New Report—Inside Information Threshold
Nord Pool’s Market Surveillance team, along with the company’s REMIT Discussion Group, has addressed the issue of an appropriate threshold for reporting insider information, with a newly published report. This has aimed to find a common threshold, in terms of MW, for the Nordic and Baltic market, which could be used by market participants to identify what should be treated as inside information across any timeframe.
The report suggests a 100 MW threshold for the Nordic and Baltic power market. Generation or consumption unavailability above this threshold can be disclosed as inside information, while unavailability below the suggested threshold does not fulfil the definition of inside information.
