15- and 30-minute products available for cross-border trading at five borders
11 December 2020
As previously announced by the Single Intraday Coupling (SIDC) project parties, EPEX SPOT is pleased to confirm the successful go-live of cross-border trading for 15- and 30-minute contracts at several borders.
Since 10 December 2020, 30-minute products have been introduced on the French-Belgian border, 15-minute products on the Austrian-Hungarian border, and 15- as well as 30-minute products are available on the Belgian-German, Belgian-Dutch and Dutch-German borders.
These cross-border contracts provide additional opportunities for EPEX SPOT members to balance their portfolio at finer granularity – an indispensable tool for the efficient integration of renewables. EPEX SPOT is proud to have contributed to this common project with the involved Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and Nominated Electricity Market Operators (NEMOs).
