Development of intra-day market
Regulator roadmap promoting intra-day cross-border market.
An international intra-day market would be the best solution
As APX Eurolight trading system allows fast implementation
and members support this:
APX has started up national market, precursor to international
Willingness to develop this further with international partners

Market transparency
Report EC competition highlights market information
Information e.g. on maintenance and outages of power plants, is
needed, especially for non-incumbent players or investors.
A good system of market information for power, gas, emissions is
needed. APX supports and facilitates initiatives

The benefits of implicit auction
(market coupling)
From 2-step process: 1) capacity auction
2) spot market,
Now 1-step process: spot markets & integrated cross-border
auction
All local players play internationally; better liquidity, transparency
When there are transmission constraints:
Capacity always used to the maximum, most optimal way
Guaranteed 100% use it or lose it + netting of im/exports
When there is no real constraint:
Market coupling unifies markets / prices
For x % of time, markets merge: “part time copper plate”

System development
Current APX and Powernext systems for spot market
Prototype for 2 markets
Prototype for 3 markets (somewhat more complicated)
Trilateral market coupling development
Joint development of APX and Powernext: central coupling
module, local modules, iteration rules
Calculation for each hour: straightforward, no iterations
Calculation with multi-hour blocks: iteration needed
Development for X markets: underway
Multilateral market Coupling (MLC)

region: countries become price zones
Outcome depends on market forces, transmission constraints:
F ≠ B ≠ NL
F ≠ B = NL
F = B ≠ NL
Latest news
On 27 October 2006, the three regulators
from the three countries approved this.
Start of trading according to this coupling is
scheduled for 21 November 2005

Linking two regions
NorNed cable links two regions,
already internally coupled:
– TLC region Netherlands,
Belgium, France
– Nordic region Norway, Sweden,
Finland, Denmark
Steering committee established:
– 4 exchanges APX, Belpex, Nord
Pool, Powernext
– 4 TSO’s Elia, RTE, Statnett,
TenneT
Aim at an enduring solution with
European scope
Possible interim solution for livedate of cable October 2007

Develop an enduring solution
Enduring solution:
MMC = Multilateral Market
Coupling
Optimize Nordic and TLC region
“Open solution, other interested
parties will be invited to
contribute as the project
progresses” *
E.g. Spain, UK, Germany,
Poland, Baltic countries, others
Able of coupling many regions
Flow-based, able to handle loop
flows
* Paper by Statnett, TenneT, Elia, RTE, Nord Pool Spot, APX, Belpex and Powernext presented at the “mini-forum” organised by the regulators on
the central North-West European electricity market, 20 June 2006
Page 30
Open system, more possibilities
Parties committed to
facilitating the addition of
further areas to the
approach, open to any other
new partners (Iberian
peninsula, Italy, UK/ireland,
Germany, Central Europe,
Eastern Europe)
Fits with “Regional Markets”
approach as foreseen by
European Commission,
European
Regulatory Forum

Mix of implicit and explicit auctions
Scandinavian model:
only daily cross-border
No auction of longterm capacity
All capacity daily
allocated in market
“splitting”
Long-term contracts
are financial
Central European model:
mix of daily and long-term
Explicit auction for
monthly/yearly capacity
Daily capacity auction,
explicit or implicit
(=market coupling)
Both physical and
financial cross-border
contracts
Re-trading / settlement
should be possible
Submit long-term
capacity for reauctioning, getting
implicit auction value
