The Public Utilities Commission of Latvia in cooperation with the National Energy Regulatory Council and the Estonian Competition Authority have prepared a joint report on the availability of Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian capacities for electricity market in 2023, which is published online for market participants.
The Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council stipulates that the regulators of the European Union member states have the duty to monitor various aspects of the electricity market, one of the most important of which is the availability of electricity transmission capacities to ensure trade with bidding zones of other Member States. As part of this obligation, the regulatory authorities have prepared a report on how the transmission system operators of the Baltic States ensure that at least 70% of capacity is allocated to the electricity market.
The report includes an analysis of the volumes of transmission capacities of connections used for the market and their compliance with the 70% criterion, as defined in the regulation of the European Union.
