Available Capacities

The forecast capacities for cross-border electricity supply and the planned allocation at auctions will be published on this page. The actual capacities for auction will be agreed with the affected grid operators and announced on the websites of the auction offices (see auctions). They may be equally larger or smaller than the guideline values presented here. The forecast is valid for all auctions in the next 12 months and will be continuously adjusted as needed. Therefore, no separate annual, monthly or weekly forecast will be published.

The tables below provide information regarding capacities available under usual conditions. Detailed forecasts for each individual month are available as download in the right-hand column.

Calculation of Available Capacities

In its role as control area manager, Austrian Power Grid AG is responsible for the determination of available line capacities for the market and their allocation, while simultaneously taking into consideration the secure grid operation in Austria. On the basis of past records and many years of experience with procedures, which have been developed by ETSO (= European Transmission System Operators) and taken over by ENTSO-E (European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity), these capacities are calculated, and agreed with the neighboring grid operator.
