53)

, BE,

54)

, DE, LU, NL) the analysis of the benefits of

introducing WDOs and the consultation of the

market participants on introduction of WDOs ap-

plication has already been done. In Bulgaria,

WDOs rules are still awaiting approval from the

NRA regarding the introduction of WDOs.

53) Austria: An analysis has been done with the outcome that a change of WDOs is not necessary. Therefore no measures are proposed and no public

consultation done.

54) Bulgaria: TSO has elaborated the rules for WDOs which are under NRA’s approval.

In four countries (BE, DE, LU and NL) steps has

been undertaken according to the approved

proposal and the recommendation document

has been sent to ENTSOG for information,

according to art. 26.6 of BAL NC. In Austria, an

analysis has been performed with the outcome

that a change of WDOs is not necessary. There-

fore no measures are proposed and no public

consultation has been held.

Links to the public consultation and to the pub-

lication of recommendation document can be

found in

Annex I, table 1.3 .

No application of WDOs

* In Estonia TSO does nor gain or lose by providing balancing actions, but no separate neutrality charge.

** The Danish NRA has approved that Energinet.dk does not have to implement the neutrality arrangements, based on 2 main parameters:

1) the balancing economy is close to being balanced and 2) the economy of Energinet.dk is a rest-in-itself economy, and is thereby neutral in itself.

In Sweden it has been reported that the amounts gained or lost due to balancing actions are almost negligible.
