1) Czech Republic provided data due to its implementation deadline for the period 1 July 2016 until the end of GY 2015/2016.

The aim of the BAL NC is to, where possible,

maximise the usage of STSP for balancing pur-

poses. Based on the data provided for GY

2015/2016, the BAL.1 indicator has been cal-

culated on a yearly basis for each balancing

zone in 13 countries (AT, BE/LU, CZ

, DE, DK,

FR, HU, NL, SI, SK, PL and UK-GB) using STSP

products on a trading and/or balancing platform

during GY 2015/2016 according to their merit

order for balancing. An exception regarding the

usage of any STSP on the trading platform in its

balancing merit order is Lithuania which per-

formed balancing actions by using only balanc-

ing services.

The results, which can be found below, are on a

yearly basis, and where balancing services have

been partially conducted also on a daily basis.

No indicator has been calculated for eight coun-

tries (BG, EL, IE, PL (L-gas, TGPS), RO, SE and

UK-NI) including Estonia. Five countries (EL, IE,

RO and UK-NI) including Estonia, conducted

balancing services only via a public tender. All of

those countries except Estonia indicated the ap-

plication of interim measures. Table 1 provides

an overview of the yearly BAL.1 indicator per

country.
