CWE FB Market Coupling – Update of MinRAMfactor for German CNECs

Published:

In line with the market message regarding the publication of the starting point of the linear trajectory for cross-zonal trade according to article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/943 published on 19.12.2019, German TSOs will increase the MinRAM for 2021.

From business day 10.12.2020 onwards, the initial MinRAM will be 21,3% (rounded 22%) and thus reflect linear trajectory value of 2021. MNCC flows might be considered and reduce the initial MinRAM value to the final MinRAM value used in the CWE FB market coupling.

However, the 20% minimum capacity exclusively for CWE exchanges (CWE-minRAM) introduced in the CWE region in April 2018 will be guaranteed in compliance with system security standards.

Best regards

German TSOs
