SECTION VI BALANCING MARKET SETTLEMENT
CHAPTER 22 NON-COMPLIANCE CHARGES
Article 22.4 Consequences of significant deviation from the Dispatch Instructions

  1. In the event of a significant deviation from a Dispatch Instruction for upward or downward Balancing Energy or Energy for purposes other than balancing when this is executed by a Balancing Service Entity 𝑒, that is, if the energy supplied by the Balancing Service Entity 𝑒 diverges significantly from the Dispatch Instruction, the HETS Operator shall impose a charge on the respective Balancing Service Provider for the Imbalance Settlement Period t, which shall be equal to NCNPBEe,t  and shall be calculated as follows:

    If DINSTe,t-MQe,t>14TOLBE,e×NCAPe,t then:

    NCNPBEe,t =UNCNPBE  ×ΑNPBE×DINSTe,t-MQe,t

    where:

    UNCNPBE  

    the unitary Non-Compliance Charge for significant imbalance in the supply of Upward or Downward Balancing Energy or Energy for Non-Balancing purposes by a Balancing Services Entity they represent in €/MWh,

    ΑNPBE

    a coefficient, the value of which depends on the number of Imbalance Settlement Periods t, in which the significant deviation was observed, within the calendar month,

    MQe,t

    the metered energy of the Balancing Services Entity e for an Imbalance Settlement Period t, reported at the Transmission System/ Distribution Network Boundary, in MWh,

    TOLbe

    the margin of tolerance for imposing Non-Compliance Charges on Balancing Service Providers for a significant deviation during the supply of upward or downward Balancing Energy or Energy for purposes other than balancing, expressed as a percentage (%). The above tolerance margin may vary by Balancing Service Entity,

    NCAPe,t

    value, in MW, corresponding to (a) the Maximum Net Capacity of Dispatchable Generation Units and (b) the dispatchable capacity in respect of Dispatchable RES Unit Portfolios and Dispatchable Load Portfolios. If the Balancing Service Entity is a Multi-Shaft Combined Cycle Generating Unit, the Maximum Net Capacity corresponding to the operating configuration running during the Imbalance Settlement Period t shall be taken into account,

    DINSTe,t

    the Dispatch Instruction received by the Balancing Services Entity e for an Imbalance Settlement Period t.

  2. A significant deviation is considered to be a deviation exceeding the applicable tolerance margin TOLbe.
  3. The numerical values of the unit charge UNCNPBE   , the coefficient ΑNPBE  and the tolerance margin TOLbe , shall be determined by decision of the RAEWW, subsequent to a recommendation from the HETS Operator. This decision shall be published at least two months prior to the implementation of the new values of the above parameters.
