Slovakia
The BAL.1 indicator of ca. 34% on a yearly basis,
illustrates that the Slovakian TSO is partially balanc-
ing via STSP products on its balancing platform, but
mainly via balancing services in its implemented
balancing merit order in GY 2015/2016.
The BAL.1 indicator on a daily basis indicates that for
Slovakia the TSO only had to balance the system on
six days in GY 2015/2016. The STSP product was
only used on one day in February, and on three days
in May 2016, but as a minor part compared to the
balancing services. The balancing was conducted
via balancing services only on two days in July 2016.
The TSO balancing actions occur on 6 days in GY
2015/2016 as the TSO indicated it only performed
balancing actions when the overall system imbalance
exceeds a certain threshold. Further details are pro-
vided in Chapter 4.3.
