All CE TSOs’ proposal for the dimensioning rules for FCR in accordance with
Article 153(2) of the Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1485 of 2 August 2017
establishing a guideline on electricity transmission system operation
All Transmission System Operators of synchronous area Continental Europe are taking into account the
following;
7 Whereas
8 (1) This document is a common proposal developed by all Transmission System Operators of
9 synchronous area CE (hereafter referred to as “TSOs”) regarding the development of a proposal for
10 the dimensioning rules for FCR (hereafter referred to as “FCR dimensioning rules proposal”) in
11 accordance with Article 153 of the Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1485 of 2 August 2017
12 establishing a guideline on electricity transmission system operation (hereafter referred to as “SO
13 GL”).
14
15 (2) The FCR dimensioning rules proposal takes into account the general principles and goals set in the
16 SO GL as well as Regulation (EC) No 714/2009 of the European Parliament and the Council of
17 13 July 2009 on conditions for access to the network for cross-border exchanges in electricity
18 (hereafter referred to as “Regulation (EC) No 714/2009”). The goal of the SO GL is the
19 safeguarding of operational security, frequency quality and the efficient use of the interconnected
20 system and resources. It sets for this purpose rules to determine the reserve capacity for FCR
21 required for the synchronous area CE, which shall cover at least the reference incident, and also set
22 rules to determine the shares of the reserve capacity on FCR required for each TSO of CE as initial
23 FCR obligation.
24
25 (3) The scope of the FCR dimensioning rules proposal is to establish rules to dimension the reserve for
26 FCR required, while respecting the requirements set in Article 153(2) of the SO GL.
27
28 (4) According to Article 6 of the SO GL, the expected impact of the FCR dimensioning rules proposal
29 on the objectives of the SO GL has to be described. It is presented below. The proposed FCR
30 dimensioning rules proposal generally contributes to the achievement of the objectives of the
31 Article 4(1) of the SO GL.
32
33 (5) In particular, the FCR dimensioning rules proposal responds to the objectives of SO GL to
34 determine common operational security requirements, and to ensure the conditions for maintaining
35 operational security and frequency quality level throughout the Union, by establishing rules for the
36 adequate dimensioning capacity for FCR, which is essential to stabilize the system frequency at a
37 stationary value after any imbalance between generation and consumption.
38
39 (6) In conclusion, the FCR dimensioning rules proposal contributes to the general objectives of the SO
40 GL to the benefit of all market participants and electricity end consumers.

Explanatory note for the FCR dimensioning rules proposal
Explanatory note
1 An appropriate amount of FCR available in the synchronous area is essential to stabilize the system
2 frequency at a stationary value after any imbalance between generation and consumption.
3 The basic criterion used for FCR dimensioning is to withstand the reference incident in the synchronous
4 area by containing the system frequency within the maximum frequency deviation and stabilizing the
5 system frequency within the maximum steady-state frequency deviation.
6 The reference incident is defined as the maximum expected instantaneous power deviation between
7 generation and demand in the synchronous area for which the dynamic behaviour of the system is designed.
8 This expected instantaneous power deviation includes the losses of the largest power generation modules or
9 loads, loss of a line sector or a bus bar, or loss of a HVDC interconnector. The SO GL (Article 153 (2b.i))
10 sets the reference incident for CE to 3000 MW in both directions.
11 This criterion assumes a balanced situation when the incident occurs. In order to consider prior imbalances
12 derived from changes in demand, renewable generation or the market-induced imbalances, the
13 dimensioning of FCR capacity can be calculated by combining the probability of forced instantaneous
14 outages with the probability of used FCR due to the already existing frequency deviations (not associated
15 with generation trips).
16 The SO GL (Article 153 2(c)) allows the possibility for the synchronous area CE to define and apply a
17 dimensioning approach to calculate the reserve capacity on FCR that must at least cover the reference
18 incident, and based on the principle of covering the imbalances in the synchronous area that are likely to
19 happen once in 20 years. This probabilistic methodology assumes the following starting hypothesis such as
20 full activation time of automatic FRR, tripping rates of the generation plants, patterns of load, generation
21 and inertia (including synthetic inertia), which are difficult to estimate and have a strong influence on the
22 results.
23 On the other hand, in the recent past, the FCR capacity dimensioned in CE (equal to the reference incident
24 3000 MW in both directions) has proven to be enough to ensure the conditions for maintaining the
25 frequency quality level and respecting the operational security requirements.
26 For all these exposed above, the FCR dimensioning capacity in CE shall be equal to the reference incident
27 for positive and negative directions.
28 According to the Article 153(2) of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1485 establishing a guideline on
29 electricity transmission system operation, by 12 months after entry into force of this Regulation, all TSOs
30 of a synchronous area shall jointly develop a common proposal regarding the dimensioning rules for FCR,
31 which shall comply with the following requirement:
32 The reserve capacity for FCR required for the synchronous area shall cover at least the reference
33 incident and, for the CE and Nordic synchronous areas, the results of the probabilistic dimensioning
34 approach for FCR carried out pursuant to point (c);
35 For the CE and Nordic synchronous areas, all TSOs of the synchronous area shall have the right to
36 define a probabilistic dimensioning approach for FCR taking into account the pattern of load, generation
37 and inertia, including synthetic inertia as well as the available means to deploy minimum inertia in real-
38 time in accordance with the methodology referred to in Article 39, with the aim of reducing the
39 probability of insufficient FCR to below or equal to once in 20 years.
40 This proposal takes into account all the previous requirements.
41 Finally, and according to the Article 6(3) this proposal shall be subject to approval by all regulatory
42 authorities of the synchronous area CE.

Whereas
(1) This document regards the common additional properties of Frequency Containment Reserves
(hereinafter referred to as “FCR additional properties”) for Synchronous Area Continental Europe
(hereinafter referred to as “Synchronous Area CE”) in accordance with Article 154(2) of Commission
Regulation (EU) 2017/1485 of 2 August 2017 establishing a guideline on electricity transmission
system operation (hereinafter referred to as “SO Regulation”).
(2) With respect to Article 154 of the SO Regulation which determines FCR technical minimum
requirements, all TSOs of a synchronous area have the right to specify, in the synchronous area
operational agreement developed pursuant to Article 118 of the SO Regulation, common FCR
additional properties required to ensure operational security in the synchronous area, by means of a
set of technical parameters and within the ranges set out in Article 15(2)(d) of Commission
Regulation (EU) 2016/631 of 14 April 2016 establishing a Network Code on requirements for grid
connection of generators (hereinafter referred to as “RfG”) and in Articles 27 and 28 of Commission
Regulation (EU) 2016/1388 of 17 August 2016 establishing a Network Code on Demand Connection
(hereinafter referred to as “DCC”). These additional properties as detailed in this document are
subject to approval by the NRAs of the synchronous area according to Article 6(3)(d)(iii) of the SO
Regulation.
(3) For Synchronous Area CE, the Synchronous Area Framework Agreement for Regional Group
Continental Europe (hereinafter referred to as “SAFA”) entered into force on 14 April 2019,
following the approval by NRAs according to Article 6(3)(d) of the SO Regulation. The SAFA at
that time did not include any FCR additional properties.
(4) To reflect the individual needs of the Synchronous Area CE, some common additional properties are
nonetheless needed for FCR providing units and/or FCR providing groups with respect to the
activation of FCR and to FCR availability in a stressed system status posing particular attention to
the new technologies. To this extent particular conditions are specified for FCR providing units or
FCR providing groups which are connected to the grid via inverters. However, the principle of non-
discrimination is still respected since these conditions are based on the distinctive features of this
technology without restricting the provision of FCR.
(5) Once approved, these FCR additional properties shall be included in the SAFA, as an integral part of
this document.
(6) Where references to the RfG are cited, these references shall be intended as reflecting the possible
extreme system status where FCR provision is essential for grid security. They shall not be deemed
to contradict the application of RfG provisions only to new installations.
(7) The FCR additional properties are expected to reduce the risk of inappropriate activation of FCR and
of unavailability of FCR in a stressed system state. With this in mind, these properties will contribute
to system stability and therefore to the achievement of the objectives of Article 4 of the SO
Regulation.
(8) The specification of activation of FCR has the goal to ensure fast response and therefore help to
stabilise the system. Specifications for FCR providing units and/or FCR providing groups with
limited energy reservoir (hereinafter referred to as “LER”) aim at ensuring sufficient availability also
in stressed system status. Specifications for frequency measurement aim at ensuring availability of
3
independent functionality of FCR providing units and/or FCR providing groups in particular in case
of system split or communication problems. The transition period is defined to avoid too abrupt
change of requirements for already existing FCR providing units and/or FCR providing groups.
(9) In conclusion, the FCR additional properties contribute to the general objectives of the SO Regulation
to the benefit of all market participants and electricity end consumers.

Article 1
Subject matter and scope
1. The FCR additional properties as determined in this document shall be considered as the properties
developed in accordance with Article 154(2) of the SO Regulation and shall establish the requirements
in addition to those foreseen in Article 154 of the SO Regulation for FCR providing units and/or FCR
providing groups.
Article 2
Definitions and interpretation
1. For the purposes of the FCR additional properties, terms used in this document shall have the meaning
of the definitions included in Article 3 of the SO Regulation, Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2019/943,
Article 2 of Directive (EU) 2019/944, Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EU) 543/2013 and Article 2

2. In addition, the following definitions shall apply:
a) Active Energy Reservoir Management: active charging/discharging of the reservoir depending on the
state of charge which results from FCR activation to avoid a status of a completely full/empty
reservoir;
b) Centralised Frequency Measurement or Centralised FCR Controller: principle of using a single
frequency measurement for activation of a number of decentrally located technical entities forming
a FCR providing unit or providing group. The application of this principle requires the respective
transmission of the frequency signal to the individual FCR providing unit or FCR providing group;
c) Decentralised Frequency Measurement: principle of using independent on-site frequency
measurements at the connection points or below at site of generating units of the technical entities
forming FCR providing units or FCR providing groups and activation of FCR based on this on-site
measurement;
d) Effective Energy Reservoir: the energy reservoir of a storage device which can effectively be used
for energy feed/absorption;
e) LER FCR Providing Units or LER FCR Providing Groups: FCR providing units or groups with
limited energy reservoirs, fulfilling the criteria according to Article 3(5);
f) Normal Mode: activation of FCR depending on the deviation of system frequency;
g) Reserve Mode: activation of active power response depending on short-term frequency deviations in
relation to the mean frequency deviation;
h) Technical Entity: single power generating module or demand unit.
3. In this document, unless the context requires otherwise:
a) the singular indicates the plural and vice versa;
b) the table of contents and headings are inserted for convenience only and do not affect the
interpretation of these common FCR additional properties;
c) references to an “Article” are, unless otherwise stated, references to an Article of this document;

Article 3
Additional properties of Frequency Containment Reserves
1. Each TSO shall check the conformity of FCR providing units and of FCR providing groups with the rules
under this Article and with the provisions set in Article 156(9), 156(10) and 156(11) of the SO Regulation
in the course of the prequalification according to Article 155 of the SO Regulation and in addition by
(ex-post) monitoring of activation of FCR according to Article 154(3) of the SO Regulation. Each TSO
shall apply respective monitoring procedures.
2. Each TSO shall ensure that the activation of FCR providing units and FCR providing groups:
a) is not artificially delayed and begins as soon as possible but no later than 2 seconds after a frequency
deviation; and
b) rises at least linearly.
When one of the requirements a) or b) cannot be met, the FCR providing group or FCR providing unit
shall provide technical evidence to the reserve connecting TSO. The reserve connecting TSO assesses
these justifications and decides whether or not the unit or group can be qualified to provide FCR. A
refusal to be qualified shall be duly motivated by the reserve connecting TSO. The motivated decision
shall be communicated to the FCR provider and relevant regulatory authority.
3. According to Article 154(6) of theSO Regulation, each FCR providing unit or group shall be capable of
activating FCR within the frequency range of 47,5 to 51,5 Hz and for time periods defined at national
level by the competent entity according to Articles 7 and 13 of RfG, taking into account the technical
boundary conditions of the respective FCR providing units or FCR providing groups. Each TSO shall, in
coordination with the DSOs, ensure that distributed FCR is not significantly reduced by load shedding
actions.
4. Each TSO shall require that FCR providing units and FCR providing groups continue to provide FCR
and are not allowed to reduce activation in case of a frequency deviation outside the frequency range of
+/- 200 mHz up to the frequency ranges as defined in paragraph 3.
5. FCR providing units or FCR providing groups are deemed as LER FCR Providing Units or LER FCR
Providing Groups in case a full continuous activation for a period of 2 hours in either positive or negative
direction might, without consideration of the effect of an Active Energy Reservoir management, lead to
a limitation of its capability to provide the full FCR activation in accordance with Article 156(8) of the
SO Regulation, due to the depletion of its energy reservoir(s) taking into account the Effective Energy
Reservoir effectively available.
For the avoidance of doubt, FCR providing units or groups that contain technical entities with unlimited
energy reservoirs and technical entities with limited energy reservoirs shall not be considered LER FCR
providing unit or group in case their energy reservoir does not limit the capability to provide FCR
according to Article 156(7) of the SO Regulation.
FCR providing units or groups not deemed as LER FCR providing units or groups that contain technical
entities with limited energy reservoirs shall thus ensure to be able to fully activate their FCR provision
in accordance with Article 156(7) of the SO Regulation.
Technical entities with unlimited energy reservoir of FCR providing units or FCR providing groups shall
not limit their FCR provision in case technical entities with limited energy reservoir (of that FCR
6
providing group/unit) are already exhausted in either the positive or negative direction according to
Article 156(8) of the SO Regulation.
For prequalification, the TSOs shall require that:
• LER FCR Providing Units or LER FCR Providing Groups shall have an Active Energy Reservoir
management. Active Energy Reservoir management shall ensure a continuous physical activation of
FCR in normal state according to Article 156(9) of the SO Regulation.
• In accordance with Article 156(9) of the SO Regulation, the FCR provider shall ensure that LER
FCR Providing Units or LER FCR Providing Groups have an energy reservoir dimensioned to
guarantee the minimum activation period set in accordance with Article 156(10) of the SO
Regulation, by additionally taking into account possible frequency deviations that might happen
before entering into alert state.
• To enable an Active Energy Reservoir Management, LER FCR Providing Units or LER FCR
Providing Groups may prequalify a power for FCR limited to 0.8 of the rated power (i.e. a ratio of
rated power to prequalified power of at least 1.25:1); a deviation from this requirement is possible in
case an alternative solution with an equivalent effect as in guaranteeing a continuous FCR provision
while applying an Energy Reservoir Management. Any lead time for the charging process needs to
be considered for Active Energy Reservoir management.
• Active Energy Reservoir Management of LER FCR providing units and LER FCR providing groups
shall not rely on over fulfilment of activation.
• Besides ensuring that the energy reservoir is sufficient to continuously activate FCR in normal state
and fully activate FCR in alert state for the time period pursuant to Article 156(9) of the SO
Regulation, LER FCR providing units (either single or belonging to a LER FCR providing group)
that are prequalified for the first time after the entry into force of the methodology and are technically
capable (especially inverter-connected assets) shall ensure that close to the upper or lower bounds of
the energy reservoir the remaining capacity is sufficient for keeping a proper response on short-term
frequency deviations. Therefore, they shall switch from the Normal Mode (reaction to normal
frequency deviation) into a Reserve Mode (reaction to zero-mean frequency deviation). Annex I
provides the standard criteria governing the operation in Reserve Mode and the transition from
Normal Mode to Reserve Mode and viceversa with reference to LER FCR providing units. Each TSO
may decide the relevant criteria to be applied in its control area: if no criteria are defined, the standard
ones referring to LER FCR providing units apply.
6. FCR providing units (either single or belonging to a FCR providing group) shall be equipped with local
frequency measurement at least per connection point or below when it is technically feasible at the
Technical Entity of the FCR providing unit.
7. FCR providing groups shall implement alternatively one of the following approaches:
a) Decentralised Frequency Measurements at least per connection point in analogy to what is foreseen
for FCR providing units in paragraph 6;
b) a Centralised FCR Controller with Decentralised Frequency Measurements per connection point
(based on local frequency measurement) to be used as a fallback solution to ensure an autonomous
function and a proper activation in case of errors in the Centralised FCR Controller itself (e.g. outage
of SCADA, faults of communication lines) or in case of a system split affecting the perimeter of the
group; if the group includes FCR providing units, local frequency measurements available for these
units pursuant to paragraph 6 shall be part of the fallback solution; or
7
c) an alternative solution with equivalent effect to the fallback solution pursuant to b), as in guaranteeing
a proper activation in case of errors in the Centralised FCR Controller or in case of a system split.
8. In case the Decentralised Frequency Measurements are used as a fallback solution pursuant to paragraph
7(b):
a) an observation function shall detect any kind of errors of the central control or frequency
discrepancies among the technical entities within the perimeter of the group;
b) the FCR provider shall immediately initiate appropriate counter-measures to ensure that the FCR
provision is not significantly negatively impacted by switching to the Decentralised Frequency
Measurements; and
c) the minimum accuracy of the local frequency measurement used as a fallback solution can be reduced
according to the national terms and conditions applicable to the reserve connecting TSO.
9. In case the alternative solution with equivalent effect pursuant to paragraph 7(c) is implemented:
a) if the FCR providing group includes FCR providing units, the local frequency measurements
available for these units pursuant to paragraph 6 may be integrated in the alternative solution;
b) the FCR provider shall demonstrate the effectiveness of the alternative solution with respect to the
decentralised frequency measurements; and
d) the solution may be implemented only if allowed by the national terms and conditions, applicable to
the reserve connecting TSO.
10. For a time period of 4 years after the entry into force of the FCR additional properties, the implementation
of a Centralised FCR Controller non compliant with the requirement set in paragraph 7 is temporary
allowed under the following conditions:
a) To mitigate the risk of misbehavior of technical entities in case of errors of the Centralised FCR
controller (e.g. outage of SCADA, faults of communication lines) and to limit the impact on
frequency, a single non compliant Centralised FCR Controller shall not control a FCR capacity
greater than 1% of the reference incident for Synchronous Area CE according to Article 153(2)(b)(i)
of the SO Regulation .
b) The reserve connecting TSO shall monitor the share of FCR capacity managed by non compliant
Centralised FCR Controllers within the procurement process; in order to ensure operational security
pursuant to Article 154(4) of the SO Regulation, in each LFC Block the amount of FCR capacity
managed by centralised controllers shall not exceed 2.5% of the reference incident for Synchronous
Area CE according to Article 153(2)(b)(i) of the SO Regulation .
After 4 years after the entry into force of the FCR additional properties, Centralised FCR Controllers non
compliant with the requirements set in paragraph 7 are no longer allowed.
Article 4
Publication and implementation of the FCR additional properties proposal
1. The TSOs shall publish the FCR additional properties without undue delay after the approval by the
NRAs of the Synchronous Area CE.
2. The TSOs shall start to implement the FCR additional properties as specified in this proposal immediately
after the approval by all NRAs of the Synchronous Area CE.
8
3. The transitional period for the implementation of additional properties of FCR by the existing affected
FCR providers shall be two years as of the NRAs’ approval: one year for TSOs to adapt their national
Terms and Conditions and one additional year for FCR providers to implement the FCR additional
properties.
4. Each TSO may recommend to extend the provisions of the Reserve Mode to existing LER FCR providing
units which are connected to the grid by means of inverters: in this case the rules for the application of
requirements to existing units reported in Article 4(1)(b) of RfG apply and the deadline for the
implementation is set accordingly.
Article 5
Language
1. The reference language for these FCR additional properties shall be English. For the avoidance of doubt,
where TSOs need to translate these FCR additional properties into their national language(s), in the
event of inconsistencies between the English version published by TSOs in accordance with Article 8
of the SO Regulation and any version in another language, the relevant TSOs shall, in accordance with
national legislation, provide the relevant national regulatory authorities with an updated translation of
the FCR additional properties.

Annex I – Normal vs Reserve Mode
LER FCR Providing Units (either single or belonging to a LER FCR Providing Group) that are prequalified
for the first time after the entry into force of the methodology and are technically capable (e.g. inverter-
connected assets) shall be able to switch from Normal Mode to Reserve Mode when upper (socmax) or lower
(socmin) state of charge limits are exceeded. These limits are defined by the amount of energy necessary to
provide FCR for a time interval equal to full activation time of aFRR:
𝑃 ∗ ∆𝑡𝐹𝐴𝑇
𝑠𝑜𝑐𝑚𝑖𝑛 =
𝐶
𝑠𝑜𝑐𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 1 − 𝑠𝑜𝑐𝑚𝑖𝑛
where
C is the storage capacity in MWh;
P is the power offered for FCR provision in MW;
∆tFAT is the aFRR full activation time in h.
When charge is restored, the unit shall revert to Normal Mode.
During Normal Mode the unit shall react to the normal frequency deviation ∆f(t) while in Reserve Mode the
unit shall react only on the short-term frequency deviation by following the zero-mean frequency:
𝑛(𝑡−∆𝑡𝐹𝐴𝑇 )
1
̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅
∆𝑓𝑧𝑒𝑟𝑜−𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 (𝑡) = ∆𝑓(𝑡) − ∑ ∆𝑓
𝑛(𝑡 − ∆𝑡𝐹𝐴𝑇 )
𝑖=0
During the transition period from Normal Mode to Reserve Mode and viceversa, the unit shall react on the
combination freaction(t) of normal frequency deviation and short-term frequency deviation as described by the
following equation:
𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 (𝑡) = ̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅
∆𝑓𝑧𝑒𝑟𝑜−𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 (𝑡) ∙ 𝑇 + (1 − 𝑇) ∙ ∆𝑓(𝑡)
where T is the weighting function defined as follows.
For the transition from Normal Mode to Reserve Mode:
0 𝑡 < 𝑡𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡
𝑡 − 𝑡𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡
𝑇={ 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡 ≤ 𝑡 < 𝑡𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡 + ∆𝑡𝐹𝐴𝑇
∆𝑡𝐹𝐴𝑇 𝑡 ≥ 𝑡𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡 + ∆𝑡𝐹𝐴𝑇
1
where tstart is the time when upper or lower state of charge limits are exceeded.
For the transition from Reserve Mode to Normal Mode
1 𝑡 < 𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑒
𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑒 − 𝑡
𝑇={ + 1 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑒 ≤ 𝑡 < 𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑒 + ∆𝑡𝐹𝐴𝑇
∆𝑡𝐹𝐴𝑇 𝑡 ≥ 𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑒 + ∆𝑡𝐹𝐴𝑇
0
where trestore is the time when upper or lower state of charge limits are restored.
10
Both in normal as well as in Reserve Mode the interval for frequency sensitivity mode shall be respected (the
full frequency range is used as input signal, but the FCR provision is limited to short term frequency
deviations in Reserve Mode).

All CE TSOs’ proposal for the limits on the amount of exchange and sharing of
FRR between synchronous areas in accordance with Article 176(1) and Article
177(1) of the Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1485 of 2 August 2017
establishing a guideline on electricity transmission system operation
All Transmission System Operators of synchronous area Continental Europe are taking into account the
following;
8 Whereas
9 (1) This document is a common proposal developed by all Transmission System Operators of
10 synchronous area CE (hereafter referred to as “TSOs”) regarding the development of the limits on
11 the amount of exchange and sharing of FRR between synchronous areas involving Continental
12 Europe (hereafter referred to as “FRR exchange and sharing limits between synchronous areas”) in
13 accordance with Articles 176(1) and 177(1) of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1485
14 establishing a guideline on electricity transmission system operation (hereafter referred to as “SO
15 GL”). This proposal is hereafter referred to as “FRR limits on exchange and sharing between SA
16 proposal”.
17
18 (2) The FRR exchange and sharing limits between synchronous areas proposal takes into account the
19 general principles and goals set in the SO GL, as well as Regulation (EC) No 714/2009 of the
20 European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on conditions for access to the network for
21 cross-border exchanges in electricity (hereafter referred to as “Regulation (EC) No 714/2009”). The
22 goal of the SO GL is the safeguarding of operational security, frequency quality and the efficient
23 use of the interconnected system and resources. For this purpose, it sets requirements for limits on
24 the amount of exchange as well as sharing of aFRR and mFRR between synchronous areas.
25
26 (3) The FRR limits on exchange and sharing between synchronous areas proposal takes into account
27 the load-frequency control structure of each synchronous area in accordance with Article 139 of SO
28 GL. The operation of load-frequency control processes is based on operational areas, where every
29 area has their individual responsibilities with respect to the LFC structure. The superior structure is
30 the synchronous area in which frequency is the same for the whole area.
31
32 (4) Article 176(1) and 177(1) of SO GL require all TSOs of each synchronous area to define a method
33 to determine limits for the exchange and sharing of FRR with other synchronous areas in the
34 synchronous area operational agreement. In particular:
35 In accordance with Article 176(1), the method to determine limits for the exchange of FRR
36 shall take into account the operational impact between the synchronous areas; the stability of
37 the FRP of the synchronous area; the ability of the synchronous area to comply with the
38 frequency quality target parameters defined in accordance with Article 127 and the FRCE
39 target parameters defined in accordance with Article 128 of SO GL; and the operational
40 security.
41 In accordance with Article 177(1), the method for determining the limits for sharing of FRR
42 shall take into account: the operational impact between the synchronous areas; the stability of
43 the FRP of the synchronous area; the maximum reduction of FRR that can be taken into
44 account in the FRR dimensioning rules in accordance with Article 157 as a result of the FRR
45 sharing; the ability of the TSOs of the synchronous area to comply with the frequency quality
46 target parameters defined in accordance with Article 127 and the ability of the LFC blocks to
47 comply with the FRCE target parameters defined in accordance with Article 128; and the
48 operational security.
49
50 (5) The scope of the FRR limits on exchange and sharing between synchronous areas proposal is to
51 establish the limits on the amount of exchange and sharing of FRR between synchronous areas in

All CE TSOs’ proposal for the limits on the amount of exchange and sharing of
FRR between synchronous areas in accordance with Article 176(1) and Article
177(1) of the Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1485 of 2 August 2017
establishing a guideline on electricity transmission system operation
52 order to respect operational security. This proposal does not apply to exchange or sharing of FRR
53 within a synchronous area.
54
55 (6) According to Article 6(2)(d)(ix) of the SO GL, it requires all TSOs to develop methodologies,
56 conditions and values included in the synchronous area operational agreements in Article 118
57 concerning the definition of limits on the amount of exchange of FRR between synchronous areas
58 in accordance with Article 176(1) SO GL and limits on the amount of sharing FRR between
59 synchronous areas in accordance with Article 177(1) SO GL. The hereafter presented exchange
60 and sharing between synchronous areas proposal shall define the requested methodologies,
61 conditions and values.
62
63 (7) The FRR limits on exchange and sharing between synchronous areas proposal is to respond to the
64 objective of SO GL pursuant to Article 4(1) to ensure the conditions for maintaining a frequency
65 quality level of all synchronous areas throughout the Union, by permitting exchange and sharing
66 between synchronous areas under certain limits in order to avoid detrimental effect on each
67 synchronous area.
68
69 (8) In conclusion, the FRR limits on exchange and sharing between synchronous areas proposal
70 contributes to the general objectives of the SO GL to the benefit of all market participants and
71 electricity end consumers.

94 Article 3
95 Limits on the amount of exchange and sharing of FRR between synchronous
96 1. A reserve receiving TSO of a LFC block involved in the exchange of aFRR and mFRR between

109 positive (resp. negative) reserve capacity on FRR of a LFC block shall be limited to the
110 difference, if positive, between the size of the positive (resp. negative) dimensioning incident
111 and the reserve capacity on FRR required to cover the positive (resp. negative) LFC block
112 imbalances during 99 % of the time, based on the historical records referred to Article

Explanatory note for the limits on the amount of exchange and sharing of FRR
between synchronous areas
Explanatory note
1 Regarding Article 3:
2 The exchange and sharing of aFRR and mFRR between synchronous areas is a process TSOs do not foresee
3 to be implemented, at least before the implementation of the corresponding balancing platform performing
4 cross-border activation of aFRR and mFRR, according to EB GL. In this sense, TSOs at a first stage are not
5 able to perform security assessment of such exchange or sharing. TSOs’ intention is not to block any kind
6 of initiative in future, this is why the only rules considered for exchange or sharing of aFRR or mFRR,
7 where receiving synchronous area is synchronous area CE, are the same rules applied to LFC Blocks within
8 the synchronous area CE itself: i.e. at least 50% of the FRR capacity resulting from the FRR dimensioning
9 rules shall remain located in the LFC block in case of exchange. For the avoidance of doubt this limit is
10 applicable to the sum of sharing and exchange with TSOs from within and outside the synchronous area.
11 When synchronous area CE is the reserve connecting synchronous area, no limits are foreseen at this stage.
12 This proposal relies on the fact that if such an exchange or sharing of aFRR and mFRR is going to be
13 implemented in the future, specific security analysis studies will be needed in any case. Respective
14 requirements and a corresponding notification process among TSOs as well as procedures for reservation of
15 cross-border transmission capacities will have to be elaborated. Particularly, the ability of the synchronous
16 area to comply with the frequency quality target parameters defined and the FRCE target parameters
17 defined in accordance to Articles 176 and 177 of SO GL shall be considered. In this context additional
18 requirements in terms of limited amount of mFRR might be necessary, leading to amendments of this
19 proposal. In such a case, TSOs’ concerns would be as anticipated as possible with national regulatory
20 authorities.

103 performed within the limits set by the RR dimensioning rules in Article 160(4,5) and in Article 161
104 of the SO GL.
105 b) in case the synchronous area of CE is the reserve connecting synchronous area, no limits shall
106 apply.
107 Article 4
108 Publication and implementation of the RR limits on exchange and sharing between
109 synchronous areas proposal
110 1. The TSOs shall publish the RR limits on exchange and sharing between synchronous areas proposal
111 without undue delay after all NRAs have approved the proposal or a decision has been taken by the
112 Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators in accordance with Article 6(8) of the SO GL.
113
114 2. The TSOs shall implement the RR limits on exchange and sharing between synchronous areas proposal
115 provided one month after the regulatory authorities have approved the proposal in accordance with
116 Article 6(3) SO GL or a decision has been taken by the Agency in accordance with Article 6(8) SO GL.
117 Article 5
118 Language
119 The reference language for this RR limits on exchange and sharing between synchronous areas proposal
120 shall be English. For the avoidance of doubt, where TSOs need to translate this RR limits on exchange and
121 sharing between synchronous areas proposal into their national language(s), in the event of inconsistencies
122 between the English version published by TSOs in accordance with Article 8 of the SO GL Regulation and
123 any version in another language, the relevant TSOs shall, in accordance with national legislation, provide
124 the relevant national regulatory authorities with an updated translation of the RR limits on exchange and
125 sharing between synchronous areas proposal.

Explanatory note for the limits on the amount of exchange and sharing of RR
between synchronous areas
1 Explanatory note
2 Regarding Article 3:
3 The exchange and sharing of RR between synchronous areas is a process TSOs do not foresee to be
4 implemented at least before the implementation of the corresponding balancing platform performing cross-
5 border activation of RR according to EB GL. In this sense TSOs, at a first stage are not able to perform
6 security assessment of such exchange or sharing. TSOs’ intention is not to block any kind of initiative in
7 future, this is why the only rules considered for exchange or sharing of RR where receiving synchronous
8 area is synchronous area CE are the same rules applied to LFC blocks within the synchronous area CE
9 itself: i.e. at least 50% of the RR capacity resulting from the RR dimensioning rules shall remain located in
10 the LFC block in case of exchange.
11 When synchronous area CE is the reserve connecting synchronous area, no limits are foreseen at this stage.
12 This proposal relies on the fact that if such an exchange or sharing of RR is going to be implemented in the
13 future, specific security analysis studies will be needed in any case and respective requirements and a
14 corresponding notification process among TSOs as well as procedures for reservation of cross-border
15 transmission capacities will have to be elaborated. Particularly, the ability of the synchronous area to
16 comply with the frequency quality target parameters defined and the FRCE target parameters defined in
17 accordance to articles 178 and 179 of SO GL shall be considered. In this context, additional requirements in
18 terms of limited amount of RR might be necessary leading to amendments of this proposal. In such a case,
19 TSOs’ concerns would be as anticipated as possible with national regulatory authorities.

2. Menetlusosaline
Elering AS, äriregistri kood 11022625, asukoht Kadaka tee 42, Tallinn, 12915, e-post:
[email protected].
3. Asjaolud ja menetluse käik
19.09.2024 esitatud Metoodikate kooskõlastustaotluses selgitab Elering, et Metoodikad on juba
varasemalt heaks kiidetud Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonala riikide reguleerivate asutuste poolt.
Seoses asjaoluga, et Eesti elektrisüsteem talitleb Venemaa ja Valgevene (IPS/UPS)
sünkroonalas, ei ole Metoodikad Eesti elektrisüsteemile rakendatavad. Samas, seoses Eesti ja
teiste Balti riikide elektrisüsteemide eelseisva sünkroniseerimisega on üheks sünkroniseerimise
eelduseks nende Metoodikate kooskõlastamine Eesti ja teiste Balti riikide reguleerivate asutuste
poolt ning Metoodikate rakendamine Balti põhivõrguettevõtjate poolt alates Mandri-Euroopa
sünkroonalaga sünkroniseerimise hetkest 09.02.2025.
02.10.2024 pöördus Konkurentsiamet Läti ja Leedu riiklike reguleerivate asutuste poole seoses
Metoodikate kooskõlastusprotsessiga.
02.10.2024 vastas Leedu riiklik reguleeriv asutus Konkurentsiametile, tuues vastuskirjas välja,
et Leedu riiklik reguleeriv asutus on Metoodikad kooskõlastanud 29.08.2024.
5 (6)
02.10.2024 vastas Läti riiklik reguleeriv asutus Konkurentsiametile, selgitades vastuskirjas, et
ka Läti reguleeriv asutus kavatseb Metoodikad kooskõlastada.
4. Konkurentsiameti seisukoht
Võttes arvesse asjaolu, et Metoodikad on juba varasemalt heaks kiidetud Mandri-Euroopa
sünkroonala riikide riiklike reguleerivate asutuste poolt ning seoses asjaoluga, et üheks
Baltikumi sünkroniseerimise eelduseks Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonalaga on Metoodikate
kooskõlastamine Eesti ja teiste Balti riikide riiklike reguleerivate asutuste poolt ja Metoodikate
rakendamine Balti põhivõrguettevõtjate poolt alates Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonalaga
sünkroniseerimise hetkest, tervitab Konkurentsiamet Metoodikate ettepanekut.
Vastavalt SOGL artikkel 6 lõikes 7 ja EBGL artikkel 5 lõikes 6 sätestatule on Balti riiklikud
reguleerivad asutused Metoodikate ettepaneku osas kokkuleppele jõudmiseks konsulteerinud,
teinud tihedat koostööd ning kooskõlastanud oma tegevust. Balti riiklikud reguleerivad
asutused on seisukohal, et Metoodikate ettepanek vastab SOGL ja EBGL sätetele ning et seda
ettepanekut on võimalik kõikidel asjaomastel reguleerivatel asutustel siseriiklikult
kooskõlastada. Asjaomased reguleerivad asutused annavad selle kohta välja siseriiklikud
otsused.
Kokkuvõte
Konkurentsiamet töötas läbi 19.09.2024 Eleringi poolt ametile kooskõlastamiseks esitatud
kõikide Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonala põhivõrguettevõtjate Metoodikate ettepanekud ning asub
seisukohale, et nimetatud Metoodikad arvestavad kehtivast seadusandlusest tulenevate
alusetega ning ei ole vastuolus SOGL-st ja EBGL-st tuleneva regulatsiooniga.
SOGL artikli 8 kohaselt tingimuste või meetodite väljatöötamise eest vastutavad
põhivõrguettevõtjad peavad need internetis avaldama pärast pädevatelt reguleerivatelt
asutustelt saadud heakskiitu või, kui heakskiitu ei ole vaja, siis pärast nende tingimuste või
meetodite väljatöötamist, välja arvatud juhul, kui selline teave on artikli 12 kohaselt
konfidentsiaalne.
EBGL artikkel 7 kohaselt tingimuste või meetodite väljatöötamise eest vastutavad
põhivõrguettevõtjad peavad need internetis avaldama pärast asjaomastelt reguleerivatelt
asutustelt saadud heakskiitu või, kui heakskiitu ei ole vaja, siis pärast nende tingimuste või
meetodite väljatöötamist, välja arvatud juhul, kui selline teave on artikli 11 kohaselt
konfidentsiaalne.
Arvestades eeltoodut ja tuginedes ELTS § 93 lõige 6 punktile 6, SOGL artikkel 6 lõige 3
punktile d) ning EBGL artikkel 5 lõige 3 punktidele j) ja l)
