About Balance Settlement Balance Settlement is a required function in the deregultated power market whose objective is to financially clear the inevitable imalance between procurement and sale of electric power for each market participant. SR (Settlement Responsible) Each TSO in the Nordic countries is doing the balance settlement in his respective country. They thereby have the role as Settlement Responsible (SR) BRP (Balance Responsible Party) A Balance Responsible Party (BRP) must have an agreement with Settlement Resposible (SR). The BRP takes the responsibility to balance and be financial counterpart for a defined physical power portfolio to be traded in the market area of the SR. RE (Retailer) A Retailer (RE) must either be balance resposnible him self or have an agreement with a BRP that handles his physical power portfolio towards SR. MGA (Metering Grid Area) A Metering Grid Area (MGA) is a physical grid wholly owned by a grid company (DSO). All exchange with adjacent MGA s is hourly metered. DSO (Distribution System Operator) A Distribution System Operator (DSO), is obliged to report metering data to SR for power exchange in MGAs in the market area of the SR. 5

Reference Group autumn 2010 and Consultation NBS spring 2011 Response November 6 th Finland: 10 Denmark: 4 Sweden: 15 Norway: 4 Nordisk: Vattenfall, Fortum, Markedskraft Regulators: NordREG D+1 er for krevende I forhold til å oppnå god kvalitet Konklusjon: endre NBS modellen til D+2 Ønske om at bilaterale korreksjon gjøres av SR etter 9 virkedager Konklusjon: ingen endring KPI s for BRP skal ikke offentliggjøres, dvs. gjøre individuelle KPI anonyme Konklusjon: endre NBS modellen ihht. forslaget Valuta noen vil ha EURO, mens andre vil ha nasjonal valuta Konklusjon: will use EURO as base currency Endelig avregning på 9. virkedag; (FI ønsker lenger, NO og DK kortere, og noen ønsk kalender dager I stedet for virkedager Konklusjon: ingen endring Bilateral handel rapportert på finere oppløsning enn BRP nivå, dvs. På RE nivå også ( Konklusjon: endre slik at det kan velges finere oppløsning Profilering og kvarkraftoppgjør må beskrives mer detaljert (FI,DK) Konklusjon: Vil bli gjort i fortsettelsen av prosjektet NBS Implementaringslan (første kvartal 2014) er for kort Konklusjon: ingen endring, branjsen vil uansett få 18 måned frist 15 Reporting requirements for production has to be described in more detail Konklusjon: Vil bli gjort i fortsettelsen av prosjektet
Feedback from regulators spring 2011 Feedback fra regulatorene (NordREG) In general positive to NBS proposal Proposed closer co-operation to improve regulatory cahnages Further analysis required Detailed requirements for regulatory changes worked out for each country Discussed with regulators Regulators started to prepare accordingly
The NBS project November 6 th NBS = Nordic Balance Settlement A project between Fingrid, Svk and Statnett Objective: "To establish a common Nordic Balance Settlement Main phases: 1. Design (2010-2011) 2. Implementation (2012-2015) 17
Why NBS November 6 th 1. NBS will be one of the "corner stones" in a common Nordic retail market 2. NBS will increase competition among BRPs and lower the costs for retailers and producers. 3. NBS will increase the quality of settlement and invoicing not only for the BRPs but also for the whole retail market. 4. NBS will increase innovation 5. NBS will reduce costs of balance settlement and increase transperency 6. NBS will be a reference model within EU for the development of integrated power markets. 18
NBS model defined objectives November 6 th A common Nordic Model for: Calculation of imbalances Profil calculations Reconciliation (saldooppgjør, kvarkraft) Reporting between SR, DSO, BRP og RE Margin calls Invoicing KPIs AMR requirements with respect to resolution and collection of metering data Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) 19

Main elements of NBS (i) A common Nordic unit for balance settlement a common SR November 6 th As a separate company equally owned by the TSOs Each TSO formally SR in his own country Agreement betwenn SR and each TSO Roles and division of responsibilities System Operations Cost base and fee level Agreement between SR, DSO s and/or national datahubs Data exchange One balance agreement between SR andbrp For all operational aspects identical independent of country With sepparte addendums for each country to handle legal differences between the countries. Supported by a "Balance Settlement 21 Handbook Local support (different languages)
Main elements of NBS (ii) Calculation November of 6 th imbalances: Daily reporting from DSOs: Data for Settlement Day to be reported two days after (D+2) and can be updated until nine days after (D+9) Production per metering point and hour Consumption per RE and BRP per hour Consumption per RE og BRP profiled Principles of calculation One-price for consumption imbalances Two-price for production imbalances Preliminary settlement daily for D+2 to D+8 Final settlement after D+9 Corections after D+9 must be done bilaterally between DSOs og BRPs 22
Main elements of NBS (iii) Reporting production November 6 th Production to be reported per Regulation Object (RO) Gross reporting, i.e. must be seprated from consumption Imbalances calculated by aggregating RO whitin each price area Reporting of large consumption units No separate treatment handled as ordinary consumption Profiling and reconcilliation for non-hourly metered units AMR will reduce the share of non-hourly metered units Model for non-hourly metered units : DSO reports estimated load shares per BRP before month start SR uses estimated consumption in balance settlement DSO calculates and reports final load shares and consumption to SR SR performs reconcilliation settlement 23 towards each BRP; summarized for all DSOs
Main elements of NBS (iv) Invoicing: Weekly per BRP Invoice period M T O T F L S M T O T F L S M T O T F L S Collaterals: KPI: Per BRP; Dynamic with respect to changes in payments, payments due and expected imbalances DSO: Coorections of metering data BRP: Imbalances 24 SR: Derlays and corrections Invoice Day 24
