The Day-Ahead and the Intra-Day Markets do not take into account the technical constraints of the Balancing Service Entities, whereas the Balancing Market (both the Integrated Scheduling Process and the real time Balancing Energy Market) does so. In case the Market Schedule (DAM and IDM schedule) of any Balancing Service Entity violates its technical constraints, this specific Market Schedule is infeasible, as the ISP Schedule and the Balancing Market Schedule will necessarily differ from the Market Schedule. In such cases, the difference in relation to the Market Schedule will not be considered as Balancing Energy, but as an Imbalance.
The Infeasible Market Schedule Calculation Methodology determines the Dispatch Periods during which, due to a Market Schedule being infeasible, the difference between the energy injected / offtaken by the Balancing Service Entities and the corresponding Market Schedule is considered as Imbalance. The Methodology is available in Greek.

For the effective implementation of the Balancing Market, IPTO issues the following Technical Decisions, which regulate details in technical issues with non-regulatory content. The Technical Decisions are issued following a public consultation and are posted on the website of IPTO. In the event of any contradiction between the provisions of the Balancing Market Rulebook and the corresponding Technical Decisions, the provisions of the Rulebook shall prevail.
The Technical Decision "Procedures of registration with the HETS Operator Registry" provides detailed description of application, submission and registration procedures in the HTS Operator Registries. The procedures are analytically presented in section Registration Procedures.
The Technical Decision is available in English.

The Technical Decision "Dispatch Instructions" includes all relevant procedures for issuing and sending Dispatch Instructions. The Technical Decision is available in Greek.
The Technical Decision "Manual FRR" includes details on the implementation of the manual FRR (mFRR) process. The Technical Decision is available in Greek. Additional information is included on a Technical Manual, also available in Greek.
The Technical Decision "Automatic FRR" includes details on the implementation of the automatic FRR (aFRR) process. The Technical Decision is available in Greek. Additional information is included on a Technical Manual, also available in Greek.
The Technical Decision "Balancing Market Settlement" includes details and examples of calculations regarding the clearing of the Balancing Energy Market, the Balancing Capacity Market and the Imbalances. The Technical Decision is available in Greek.
The Technical Decision 'Integrated Scheduling Process' includes details on the implementation of the Integrated Scheduling Process (ISP). The ISP is a process carried out by TSOs that use Central Dispatch Systems. The process aims at covering the forecasted generation/demand imbalances and procuring the required reserves. Consequently, the ISP results involve:
- procurement of the Balancing Capacity needed to cover the forecasted reserves requirement for FCR and FRR (aFRR and mFRR),
- scheduling of the commitment of BSEs in a way that meets the constraints of the HETS and the BSEs, and
- procurement of Balancing Energy needed to cover the forecasted generation/demand imbalances and provision for an indicative production schedule of the BSEs.
The ISP is solved as a co-optimization problem taking into account the Balancing Energy and Balancing Capacity Offers of the BSEs as well as their respective constraints, the HETS constraints and the HETS Operator needs, in order to minimize the cost of Balancing Energy and Balancing Capacity procurement
The Technical Decision "Technical limits on bidding and clearing prices" defines the numerical values of the Minimum and Maximum Prices of Balancing Capacity and Balancing Energy Offers, which are imposed for technical reasons. The Technical Decision is available in English.

If during an Imbalance Settlement Period energy from Contracted Units or Supplementary Energy from Emergency Imports was injected, or Load Cuts were performed, the upward Balancing Energy Price for manual FRR may be increased at least up to the level of € 2.100 /MWh for the specific Imbalance Settlement Period. In the event that the upward Balancing Energy Price for manual FRR receives a value greater than € 2,100 / MWh, then the value of the Balancing Energy Deficit Premium price is zero (0).
