Baltic balancing capacity market evaluation report
Baltic TSOs, in accordance with the NRA approved methodologies, have prepared an evaluation report which looks into the Baltic balancing capacity market for the period 2025.02.05-2025.09.30. The report contains analysis on the market-based cross-zonal capacity allocation process, in particular covering key aspects such as the benefits of a common capacity market in comparison with the day-ahead market and the impact of TSO resources.
The analysis indicates that the impact of allocating cross-zonal capacity for balancing capacity on the day-ahead market has been negligible compared to the benefits of having a common balancing capacity market, which resulted in cost savings of roughly 1.5 billion euros and ensured security of supply.
Furthermore it has been identified that during the analysed period, the usage of TSO Resources has been critical in avoiding extreme costs of procuring balancing capacity.
