As a member of Multiregional market coupling (MRC),  BSP is actively participating in the implementation of remaining European implicit allocation projects. After the successful go-live of SI-IT market coupling, BSP together with its project parties entered into realisation of SI-IT ID market coupling project and SI-AT DA market coupling project.

First, in  accordance  with  the  CACM  regulation, we announce  the launch of a pilot project aimed at improving the ID capacity allocation on the SI-IT electricity border. Such  project,  once  in  operation,  will  imply  the  substitution  of  the  existing  explicit intraday  auctions  operated  by  the  Joint  Allocation  Office  (JAO)  on  that  border  with  an  implicit market coupling auctions process.

The  Go-Live  window  of SI-IT ID market coupling  is  currently  foreseen  in  Q2  2016.

After successful implementation of above mentioned ID capacity allocation on the SI-IT border, BSP will launch implicit allocation on DA market segment on SI-AT border. The project is an extension to the NTC based day-ahead market coupling approach including its operational procedures, initially developed for the Italian borders (IBWT). This new border will be fully embedded in the Multi Regional Coupling (MRC).

The Go-live window of SI-AT DA market coupling is scheduled for mid-2016.
