General

Intraday capacity allocation on all borders and in all directions managed by APG is subject to the successful confirmation by the control area operator of the target or source control area (matching), respectively.

The capacities for intraday changes on congested borders are checked before the schedule notification is confirmed. For this purpose it is necessary to acquire capacity rights (Capacity Agreement Identification) on the respective capacity platforms.

Please note: Information concerning the availability of intraday capacities on the border AT-CH can be obtained directly from our Grid Economics (see contact box) once the intraday cross-border nomination gate opens. According to the stated availabilities, there exists the possibility, in line with the "first-come, first-served" principle, for each balance group responsible to notify the available intraday capacities by forwarding of an intraday schedule to APG.

The detailed process of the notification of intraday capacity usage is thus as follows:

1. The sending of the schedule to APG and the control area operator in the respective country by the balance group responsible. The time of receipt by APG is decisive as to who receives the capacities ("first-come, first-served").
2. Matching with neighbouring control area operator, taking into consideration point 1 and NTC
3. Sending of the confirmation to the balance group officer

Organization of intraday trading

The organization of intraday trading is described in the authorized Electricity Market Code, chapter 3, from the Energy Control Commission or Energie Control GmbH.

All time series within a schedule message related to the same neighbouring control zone shall be considered as corresponding if the header attributes "in party“, "out party“, "capacity agreement identification“ and "capacity contract type“ are identical.

All quantity values of these corresponding time series must be netted per position – this means that only one time series value (import or export) may have a quantity higher than 0MW per position.
