Article 21.4 UA-3 Financial Neutrality Uplift Account
  1. The UA-3 Financial Neutrality Uplift Account shall be used to allocate any remaining balance to Balance Responsible Parties after calculation of debits and credits by the HETS Operator for the Balancing Energy activated for mFRR and aFRR, as well as energy activated for purposes other than balancing and Imbalance Settlement purposes. The above account shall include income or costs resulting from the intended exchanges of energy pursuant to Article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2017/2195 and the unintended exchanges of energy pursuant to Article 51 of Regulation (EU) 2017/2195.

  2. The UA-3 Financial Neutrality Uplift Account shall include the amount corresponding to any deficit or surplus in the coupled markets in relation to Cross-Border Physical Deliveries that correspond to imports and exports per coupled interconnection in the context of the Single Day-Ahead Market Coupling, Intraday Auctions, and Continuous Intraday Trading, as calculated in the respective market results.

  3. The amount ensuring the financial neutrality of the HETS Operator in each Imbalance Settlement Period t, NEUTRt, shall be calculated as follows:

    +eABECe,tmFRR,dn+eABECe,taFRR,dn+eAOECe,tmFRR,dn+pIMBCp,t
    +  IDEVt + UDEVt + SAgCt 

    where:

    NEUTRtthe amount ensuring the financial neutrality of the HETS Operator for the Imbalance Settlement Period t,
    ABECe,tmFRR,upthe charging or crediting of the Balancing Services Entity e, for the Imbalance Settlement Period t, for activated upward mFRR Balancing Energy.
    ABECe,taFRR,upthe charging or crediting of the Balancing Services Entity e, for the Imbalances Settlement Period t, for activated upward aFRR Balancing Energy.
    AOECe,tmFRR,upthe charging or crediting of the Balancing Services Entity e, for the Imbalance Settlement Period t, for activated upward energy supplied for purposes other than balancing.
    ABECe,tmFRR,dnthe charging or crediting of the Balancing Services Entity e, for the Imbalance Settlement Period t, for activated downward mFRR Balancing Energy.
    ABECe,taFRR,dnthe charging or crediting of the Balancing Services Entity e, for the Imbalance Settlement Period t, for activated downward aFRR Balancing Energy.

4. The cost for ensuring the financial neutrality of the HETS Operator, NEUTRt, for each Imbalance Settlement Period t, shall be allocated to and borne by the Balance Responsible Parties p, in accordance with the metered consumption of their Offtake Facilities in the Interconnected System in each Imbalance Settlement Period t, as follows:
UPLIFT3p,t =NEUTRt×MQp,tpMQp,t

where:

  1. NEUTRtthe amount ensuring the financial neutrality of the HETS Operator in each Imbalance Settlement Period t.
    MQp,tthe offtake (calculated at the Transmission System - Distribution Network Limit) in MWh that corresponds to the Offtake Facilitiesof the Interconnected System per Balance Responsible Party p for an Imbalance Settlement Period t. The aforementioned offtake does not include the Electricity Supply Volume via Direct Line supplied to Demand Facilities with a Parallel Connection via Direct Lines, as this volume is calculated pursuant to Article 18.4 of this Rulebook.
