13 2. Current EPEX SPOT developments CH-DAM: Evaluating the introduction of negative prices Purpose of negative prices Constitute an important indicator for the demand-supply equilibrium Send a price signal for flexibility and storage opportunities Context in Switzerland No negative prices exist on the Swiss Day-Ahead market (min. price: 0 /MWh) Plan to introduce negative prices on the Swiss Intraday market (min. price: /MWh) In collaboration with Swissgrid, EPEX SPOT investigated the request of negative prices on the Swiss Day-Ahead market in an internal study, evaluating the following options: - Short term: negative prices on the isolated Swiss DA market before coupling with other markets. - Mid- to long term: negative prices once the Swiss DA market is coupled to CWE markets. Currently an online member consultation on this topic July is available to all EPEX members: 31 st May Start of online consultation 30 th June Deadline for online consultation Internal assessment of consultation results 16 th September Final decision (EPEX SPOT Exchange Council) EPEX SPOT 2013 All rights reserved Use of information prohibited without prior written consent of EPEX SPOT SE 13

Child 1 _ 2 & 3 _ 1 How to use it? Allows to take into account financial and technical constraints of power plants (start-up costs in the first block and then higher costs, such as fuel costs, in the linked block) Enables to link purchase and sell block orders (representation of pump-up storage, for ex.) EPEX SPOT 2013 All rights reserved Use of information prohibited without prior written consent of EPEX SPOT SE 14

Allows to propose for trading different production patterns: submit different profiles with different prices for the same delivery day for the same power plant, with only one being executed For example a specific production plant can be offered at a low price for baseload production, medium price for peak load production, and high price for super peak load production EPEX SPOT 2013 All rights reserved Use of information prohibited without prior written consent of EPEX SPOT SE 15

16 2. Current EPEX SPOT developments Smart Block Bids: Implementation Implementation is foreseen together with NWE Market Coupling launch (planed for November 2013) Some adaptation of EPEX Trading System are however necessary (interface design) Simulations are on-going, together with APX-ENDEX, which plans similar smart block bids: The aim is to fine-tune the characteristics of smart blocks and define the corresponding restrictions: Maximum number of generations, maximum number of blocks in each generation, maximum number of blocks in an exclusive group Indeed, performance of the current algorithm can be affected by the number and the complexity of submitted smart blocks EPEX SPOT 2013 All rights reserved Use of information prohibited without prior written consent of EPEX SPOT SE 16
