For week 1 and 2, there will be no contracting of FRR-A (automatic Frequency Restoration Reserves).
Starting from 2014/week 3 (13 January 2014), the Nordic TSOs plan to contract 300 MW of FRR-A (both upward and downward) for selected hours. The TSOs expect to use 300 MW of FRR-A for 1500-2000 hours during 2014. For other hours, there will be no contracting of FRR-A.
For weeks 3, 4 and 5, the TSOs will contract 300 MW for 00:00-01:00 CET, 05:00-08:00 CET and 22:00-24:00 CET on week days.
For weeks 6, 7, 8 and 9 the TSOs will contract 300 MW for 16:00-19:00 CET for all days of the week in addition to 00:00-01:00 CET, 05:00-08:00 CET and 22:00-24:00 CET on week days.
TSOs will inform about the adjustments of the national procurement that are needed.
A new market message for FRR-A capacity contracting from March 2014 onwards will follow later.
