Market Reports

The ENTSO-E Market activities are about: Developing a harmonised European market framework, notably through drafting market network codes/guidelines and methodologies; Coordinating implementation projects related to the different timeframes and within the different regions; and Developing and maintaining tools which ensure transparency towards stakeholders.

ENTSO-E’s market team supports TSO members in all areas relating to the development and harmonization of market rules. Its main mission is to ensure that the objectives of the 3rd Internal Energy Market package are realised and to facilitate the development of a well-functioning European electricity market. It produces several reports, which help contribute to market design and developing market-related network codes:

European Transmission Tariffs – ENTSO-E’s Overview of Transmission Tariffs in Europe is published annually and analyses the design, structure and level of transmission tariffs in more than 30 countries.

ITC Transit Losses Data Report – This report is produced annually and features results of the calculations of the amount of transit losses actually incurred on the transmission system during the preceding calendar year.

Survey on Ancillary Services Procurement and Electricity Balancing Market Design – Published annually, the survey provides an overview of the different market arrangements in place throughout Europe with regard to Ancillary Services and Imbalance Charges.

Joint Task Force Cross Border Redispatch Flow Definitions [PDF] - This document contains the physical power flow definitions currently being used in the ENTSO-E community and by ACER in their Market Monitoring Report. The document also give an insight into how these definitions were derived.

Enhancing market coupling of South Eastern Europe Region ​ - ​The report is analysing the developement of day ahead markets in the SEE region; a project for which ENTSO-E and its members have appointed a dedicated high level manager, Mr Juha Kekkonen from JK Energia Oy​.

European Transmission Tariffs

Transmission tariffs are one of the key elements of the Internal Electricity Market. There is no single ’correct solution’ for recovering costs related to electric energy transmission such as costs for infrastructure, energy losses, ancillary services, system balancing and re-dispatching, or costs not directly related to TSO activities. Different methods work side-by-side and a direct comparison of tariff rates is not possible.

ENTSO-E’s Overview of Transmission Tariffs in Europe is published annually and analyses the design, structure and level of transmission tariffs in more than 30 countries. The report provides detailed descriptions of the different components that make up transmission tariffs and seeks to provide interested parties with an accessible and comparable overview of the alternative approaches used across Europe.

ITC Transit Losses Data Report

Further to Articles 4.2 and 4.3 of Annex Part A of Regulation EC 838/2010, ENTSO-E is mandated to publish an annual report on the transmission losses incurred on the transmission system during the relevant period and the methodology used in the calculation of these losses.

Following the above requirement, the “ITC Transit Losses Data Report” provides a description of ‘With and Without Transit’ methodology, which is used in the calculation of the transit losses.

This annual report also features results of the calculations of the amount of transit losses actually incurred on the transmission system during the preceding calendar year.

Survey on Ancillary Services Procurement and Electricity Balancing Market Design

The survey provides support for the implementation of the guideline on electricity balancing (EB Regulation) and highlights the challenges towards the pan-European harmonisation of the electricity balancing market design. The survey information is used to monitor the implementation of the EB Regulation and to report on the development towards a European balancing market.

The survey includes maps illustrating how different approaches have been taken to the design elements of ancillary services and imbalance charges across Europe.

2021 Surveys on ancillary services and cross-border balancing initiatives

ENTSO-E has updated its annual survey on the overview of different market arrangements in Europe regarding balancing market design and procurement of ancillary services and a second survey providing an overview of cross-border balancing initiatives. Both surveys represent the status in Europe during the calendar year 2021.

Caveats

• Data collection is a relatively high-level exercise; therefore, not all details are captured.

• Not all countries use the same concepts. Hence, the development of a single set of definitions encounters difficulty in matching the various concepts. Consequently, in a number of specific cases, the position of a country in a certain group might be debatable.

• Overview of the Cross-Border initiatives provides a short summary of different voluntary agreements in place regarding exchange or sharing of balancing market products.
