3.4.6 Cooperation of DSO(s), Forecasting party (-ies) towards TSO
Each DSO associated to a balancing zone and
each forecasting party shall provide the TSO in
the respective balancing zone with the informa-
tion necessary for the information provision to
the network users. It includes inputs and off-
takes on the distribution system regardless
whether the system is part of the balancing zone
or not.
18 countries (AT, BE/LU, CZ, DE, DK, ES, FR,
HU, IE, IT, LT, NL, PL, PT, SI, UK-GB and UK-NI)
with the exception of six countries including Es-
tonia (BG, EL, HR, RO and SK) reported that the
TSO has cooperated with the DSO and forecast-
ing party to define the information, its format
and the providing procedure in order to ensure
the due provision of information by the TSO to
the network users.
According to BAL NC the national rules shall
also define the format of the information provid-
ed to the TSO which shall be consistent with the
format used by the TSO to provide the informa-
tion to the network users.
16 countries (BE/LU, CZ, DE, DK, ES, FR, IE, IT,
LT, NL, PL, PT, SE, UK-GB and UK-NI) con-
firmed the consistency of the format. Austria
reported that the format is defined in the valid
market rules (network users) or based on a bilat-
eral agreement (system operators). ALOCAT and
KISS-A according to the market rules; XML
between the system operators. In five countries
including Estonia (HR, HU, PT and UK-NI) final-
isation of the format is still under development.
Three countries (BG, EL and SK) indicated that
it is not necessary or applicable while Romania
reported as a reason the missing designation of
a forecasting party.
