[CWE FB MC DA] SPAIC publication - IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF NEMOLINK

Published:

Dear Market Participants,

Elia plans the introduction of the Nemo Link interconnector between Belgium and Great-Britain in Q1 2019. The Nemo Link interconnector will be linked to substation Gezelle in Belgium.

The NemoLink cable will have a capacity of 1000MW. The loss factor of the cable taken into account for this SPAIC study is 2.5%. However, as of go-live, this loss factor could slightly differ.


Following the continuous effort for enhanced transparency at CWE, ELIA has performed a SPAIC analysis. SPAIC stands for Standard Procedure for Assessing the Impact of Changes and consists of a comparison of the CWE flow-based domains and market results for 12 typical “reference” days, commonly predefined by CWE TSOs, in order to estimate the impact of a significant change in the CWE Area.

The enclosed documents provide the results of the performed SPAIC analysis for the reference period.

Best Regards,

ELIA
