LJUBLJANA (Slovenia), July 7 (SeeNews) – The coupling of the Austrian and Slovenian energy markets , initially planned to happen on July 12, has been postponed until July 21 due to IT issues, the European Power Exchange, Epex Spot, said in a statement.
"It can be confirmed that the AT-SI Market Coupling will be in operations as of the July 21 for delivery day July 22. From this date onward, day-ahead capacity for the AT-SI border will be implicitly allocated through the PCR solution, making this border a part of the Multi-Regional Coupling (MRC)," Epex Spot said on Wednesday.
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).
Epex Spot is an exchange for power spot trading in Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland.
