[ExC_04a]: Declaration of Partial Decoupling

Dear Market Participants,

Due to technical reasons or market issues, the following area is decoupled from the Market Coupling:

As a consequence of the Partial Decoupling, the NEMO order books for the areas remained coupled will reopen at 13:10 for exactly 15 minutes, depending on the application of local rules.

Therefore, the publication of the Market Coupling Results is delayed.

For the areas that remain coupled, please follow the market coupling rules as usual.

However, please be aware that for the areas remaining coupled, no Second Auction will be triggered if price thresholds are reached following the Partial Decoupling. This measure aims at avoiding a Full Decoupling due to insufficient time left to perform the Second Auction.

Therefore, please use the opportunity of adjusting your orders during the 15 minutes communicated above, considering that decoupling situations are likely to determine the occurrence of extreme prices.

For the decoupled area(s), local/regional auction rules shall be followed, including specific communications from the concerned NEMO(s).

Disclaimer: The timings are expressed as CET timings.

Therefore, if relevant, we advise you to update your shadow bids at JAO eCAT platform before 14:10 CET. Please refer to JAO's website to get the results of the Shadow Auctions.

Best regards,
Operations Team
