Dear Sir/Madam,
We are pleased to invite you to our forthcoming IDA (Intraday Auction) go-live Single Intraday Coupling (SIDC) pre-launch event, to be held on 21 March 2024.
The IDA go-live is targeted for 13 June 2024 with the purpose to harmonize the calculation and allocation of cross-border capacities on the intraday market and to price intraday cross-border capacities to reflect their shortage at a given time and thereby send an adequate price signal to the market. IDAs further strengthen the competitiveness of EU electricity markets concerning electricity generation, trade and supply, taking into account the importance of creating a level playing field for market participants in intra-day markets.
We are currently undertaking internal testing activities and have planned preparation activities ahead of go-live. Member testing period will be also organised from 8th of April until 3rd of May 2024.
Nominated Electricity Market Operators (NEMOs) and Transmission System Operators (TSOs) have arranged a pre-launch event to provide a comprehensive and informative opportunity to learn more about the SIDC solution and upcoming arrangements for the IDAs.
The pre-launch event is free of charge and will be held as a web conference.
It will include presentations covering an overview of the SIDC IDAs, the chosen technical solution for them, the trial period for market participants, IDA operational parameters, and further details important for your participation in the Member Tests as well as relevant for future IDA operation.
We look forward to welcoming you to this pre-launch event. The registration link will be published the latest beginning of March 2024.
Yours faithfully,
On behalf of the SIDC project parties
André Estermann and Ondrej Maca
Co-chairs of the Steering Committee
