MCSC Communication note
The Market Coupling Steering Committee (MCSC) welcomes the successful go-live of the Flow-Based Market Coupling project on 8 June 2022. The successful go-live of Core FB MC is the result of the close cooperation between all involved NEMOs, TSOs and regulatory authorities.
Additionally, today as part of the Core FB MC project also market coupling is implemented between Croatia and Hungary, marking another major achievement in the completion of the European target model. Furthermore, also a completely new interconnector and electricity border was implemented on the border of Slovenia and Hungary, which is now already part of Core Flow-Based allocation and will go-live commercially at the beginning of July.
The Core Flow-Based Market Coupling (Core FB MC) project promotes the development and implementation of a flow-based day-ahead market coupling across the whole Core capacity calculation region (Core CCR) in the framework of the Single Day-Ahead Coupling (SDAC). The Core CCR consists of the bidding zone borders between the following EU Member States’ bidding zones: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.
