All TSOs and ENTSO-E strongly encourage stakeholders and market participants to give their feedback between 13 September 2018 (00:00) and 13 November 2018 (23:59) on the consultations concerning the:

• All TSOs’ proposal for classification methodology for the activation purposes of balancing energy bids pursuant to Article 29(3) in accordance with Article 30 of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2195 establishing a guideline on electricity balancing

and the:

• All TSOs’ proposal on methodologies for pricing balancing energy and cross-zonal capacity used for the exchange of balancing energy or operating the imbalance netting process pursuant to Article 30(1) and Article 30(3) in accordance with Article 30 of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2195 establishing a guideline on electricity balancing.

After the consultation is completed, comments will be analysed, and the proposal finalised for submission to NRAs for approval. Only sufficient participation can ensure that both proposals will successfully serve the needs of all relevant parties involved, be it TSOs, balancing service providers (BSP) or other stakeholders.

A public stakeholder workshop will take place on 16 October, in ENTSO-E’s premises in Brussels, from 10:00 to 16:30. More information to follow.
