Due to a dysfunction in RTE's Information System, please be advised that balancing market indicators may be updated in the hours following their initial publication. We will keep you informed of any further developments as soon as possible.

Definitions

Energy volume activated for electric system balance: Sums of specific balancing bids activated for P = C balance reason and the standard RR need satisfied by TERRE platform.

Energy volume activated for congestion: Specific balancing bids activated to resolve congestion.

Energy volume activated for SSY: Specific balancing bids activated to reconstitute frequency ancillary services.

Energy volume activated for Marge: Specific balancing bids activated to reconstitute reserves.

Definitions

Energy volume activated, injection point: Energy volume activated by PTS or PDS injection balancing entities

Energy volume activated, extraction point: Energy volume activated by remotely-read and profiled consumption balancing entities

Energy volume activated, exchange point: Energy volume activated by exchange point balancing entities

Energy volume activated, Inter-TSO Balancing Exchange: Energy volume exchanged between TSOs under balancing energy exchange contracts. This mechanism was discontinued in March 2022.

Definitions

Minimal price : Lowest price of balancing energy bids activated downward on the balancing mechanism for P=C balance.

Maximal price : Highest price of balancing energy bids activated upward on the balancing mechanism for P=C balance.


DMO : Mobilisation lead time of the specific balancing bid activated on the balancing mechanism.

DOmin : Minimum duration of use of the specific balancing bid activated on the balancing mechanism.

Definitions


aFRR need requested by RTE : Average value of the French scheduling area control error at 4 second intervals before correction from the IGCC and PICASSO platforms.

aFRR activated for French scheduling area : Average value of aFRR activated at 4 second intervals in France or abroad to cover French aFRR demand.

Volume weighted average price of aFRR activated for French scheduling area : Average of the aFRR activation prices to cover French aFRR demand, calculated based on the Cross-Border Marginal Price (when connected to PICASSO) or the Local Marginal Price (in Merit Order France) at 4 second intervals, and weighted by the volume of aFRR activated for France.

aFRR submitted volume in France : Aggregated aFRR energy bids submitted in France.

aFRR activated volume in France : Average value of the aFRR activated in France at 4 second intervals, regardless of the beneficiary TSO.

aFRR unavailable volume in France : Not Applicable (the concept of unavailable bid does not exist for French aFRR).

Volume weighted average price of aFRR submitted bids in France : Average price of aFRR bids submitted in France, weighted by the submitted volumes.                                                                                                     

Definitions

mFRR Demand expressed by RTE to MARI Platform: Balancing energy volume sent by RTE to MARI platform.

Clearing Price SA: Clearing Price fixed by MARI Platform as part of the scheduled activation mechanism.

DA Upward Settlement Price - Starting Activation: Settlement price determined by MARI Platform for direct upward activations during the first quarter-hour of a DA activation.

DA Downward Settlement Price - Starting Activation: Settlement price determined by MARI Platform for direct downward activations during the first quarter-hour of a DA activation.

DA Upward Settlement Price - Ending Activation: Settlement price determined by MARI Platform for direct upward activations during the second quarter-hour of a DA activation.

DA Downward Settlement Price - Ending Activation: Settlement price determined by MARI Platform for direct downward activations during the second quarter-hour of a DA activation.

Volume of Activated Standard mFRR SA Bids: volume of Bids activated in France for a scheduled 15-minute gate, regardless of the beneficiary TSO.

Volume of Activated Standard mFRR DA Bids: volume of direct activation Bids activated in France for a scheduled 15-minute gate, regardless of the beneficiary TSO.

Volume of Submitted Standard mFRR Bids: Aggregation of the volumes of mFRR Bids submitted in France.

Restrained Bids: Aggregation of the volumes of standard mFRR Bids  not transmitted to MARI platform because of compliancy reasons.
