The representatives of the national authority for regulation, of the transport operators and system operations and those of the operators on the energy markets in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and Romania met, at the beginning of the week, in Budapest to agree on the starting of the collaboration with a view to coupling the energy markets in the five countries, OPCOM informs, the energy stock exchange of Romania. It is about electricity tradings for the next day ( the market for next day is a part of the wholesale market of electricity which does hourly tradings with electricity with delivery the next day).
“The coupling of the markets for next day in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary proved its benefits for the participants on the market since its launching in September 2012. The expansion to the neighbouring countries Romania and Poland is a logical step to the creation of the domestic market for electricity” OPCOM says.
There was agreement on a joint draft for the evaluation of the possible roadmaps and selection of the most adequate method to integrate the markets. All parts stated their willingness and intention to sign a memorandum for agreement which could define the domain and the main aspects of this collaboration” OPCOM said.
“The representatives of the national regulators, of transport operators and market operators met on 28 January in Budapest to discuss the future integration and expansion of the coupling of the markets for next day. The conclusions of the reunion confirmed the availability and the preparedness for intense collaboration and joint approach with a view to confirming the technical feasibility.
