1) In Austria in case of a daily imbalance > 24 MWh, balancing actions per balance group
are triggered by MAM in the name and on behalf of the BGR. No costs/revenues for the
MAM, the BGR pays/receives the market price to/from the VTP. Hourly short imbalanced
positions with short Market Area Position and short Carry forward account will be
charged by balancing incentive mark-up. Finally, a last line of defence for balancing is
to curtail imbalanced balance group, which causes network instability. Those balanc-
ing incentive mark-ups generate income, which is accumulated and used to reduce
transmission charges in future periods. As the balancing incentive mark-ups were
massively reduced since their introduction, the effect in total is small. As the MAM did
not take measures for physical balancing, the total sum of the balancing incentive
mark-up for 2013 – 2015 was returned to the network users via lower tariffs.
2) At the IP Remich between Germany and Luxemburg the re-nomination lead time on the
Luxembourg side is two hours and 15 minutes. The additional time is used by Creos
Luxemburg to re-nominate in case suppliers do not fulfil their nominations obligations/
restrictions based on the forecast offtake at this IP. For all other IPs, the standard lead
time of 2 hours applies.
3) Portugal has partially implemented the provisions of applicable price. Even though
neither a trading platform nor STSPs have yet been implemented, a default rule for
derivation of weighted average price is in place, taking into account the trades at the
PVB (Spanish Virtual Trading Point). According to the NRA's decision, Mibgás, S.A.,
operating the Spanish Trading platform at the Spanish VTP (PVB) shall be the future
Market Operator in Portugal.
