<p>The Nominated Electricity Market Operators and Transmission System Operators from Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary established a new Local Implementation Project (LIP 17) to couple intraday electricity markets under Single Intraday Coupling (SIDC, formerly known as XBID project) covering borders between Slovakia – the Czech Republic, Slovakia – Hungary and Slovakia – Poland.</p> <p>More information you can find <a href="http://www.ote-cr.cz/cs/o-spolecnosti/zpravy_ote/2020_07_09_local-implementation-project-established-under-sidc.pdf" data-linktype="external" data-val="http://www.ote-cr.cz/cs/o-spolecnosti/zpravy_ote/2020_07_09_local-implementation-project-established-under-sidc.pdf">HERE</a>.</p>

<p>OTE, a.s., published a new version of the OTE Business Terms for the Power Sector (Revision 30 – May 2020) and a new version of the OTE Business Terms for the Gas Sector (Revision 18 – May 2020). The new versions were approved by the Energy Regulatory Office on the 28^th May 2020 and became effective as of the 3^th June 2020.<br /> <br />The documents can be found here only in Czech:</p> <ul> <li><a data-val="https://www.ote-cr.cz/cs/registrace-a-smlouvy/files-registrace-a-smlouvy/ope_rev30_cistopis.pdf" href="https://www.ote-cr.cz/../../../cs/registrace-a-smlouvy/files-registrace-a-smlouvy/ope_rev30_cistopis.pdf" data-linktype="external">OTE Business Terms for the Power Sector.pdf</a></li> <li><a data-val="https://www.ote-cr.cz/cs/registrace-a-smlouvy/files-registrace-a-smlouvy/opp_rev18_cistopis.pdf" href="https://www.ote-cr.cz/../../../cs/registrace-a-smlouvy/files-registrace-a-smlouvy/opp_rev18_cistopis.pdf" data-linktype="external">OTE Business Terms for the Gas Sector.pdf</a></li> </ul>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The trading time on the intraday electricity market organized by OTE, a.s., is extended with effect from 3 June 2020.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">This change follows the successful integration of the OTE intraday electricity market within the SIDC in November last year. The trading period on the intraday electricity market is extended in the CS OTE system from 3 June 2020. From this day, it is possible to trade up to five minutes before the start of the delivery hour (instead of 60 minutes).</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Trading time extension on the Czech intraday electricity market raises the standard of services provided through the platform CS OTE and, among other things, provides market participants with additional options to prevent imbalances as close as possible to the time of delivery. This approach is in line with trends in the other intraday markets in Europe.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">OTE is responding to the ideas raised by market participants in the consultation processes of our Business Terms. "We perceive this extension of trading time options as an important step towards the further development of short term electricity trading in the Czech Republic," says Jakub Šrom, Head of the Energy Markets Department.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Trading on the intraday electricity market will be in this new extended time (60 minutes to 5 minutes before the delivery hour) without the allocation of cross-border capacities, which are allocated by transmission system operators within 60 minutes before the start of the delivery hour.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><a data-val="51d7c1f81a2a4b23a1e21ddc71f99c23" href="https://www.ote-cr.cz/en/about-ote/file-news/20200603_extension_of_trading_time.pdf" data-linktype="internal">Press release.pdf</a></p>
