<p>As communicated earlier, the planned go-live of 20 April 2022 for Core Flow-Based Day Ahead Market Coupling was not supported by some Core TSOs and NEMOs.</p> <p> </p> <p>During the past two weeks, the Core project parties have intensively worked on solutions to resolve the remaining concerns raised by some parties with regards to certain aspects of the Flow Based Day Ahead Capacity Calculation. As a result, Core project parties are able to announce the new go-live date: <strong>08 June 2022</strong> (Trading Day for delivery on 09 June 2022).</p> <p>The next steps to adequately address the concerns raised earlier are:</p> <p> </p> <ul> <li>improve operational stability of TSO’s capacity calculation</li> <li>further optimization of the intraday ATC capacities algorithmic and local validation processes will be implemented</li> <li>Dedicated reporting to NRAs will be created for all cases with RAM&lt;20%</li> <li>Improvements in the publication tool were implemented</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>More details can be found <a data-val="3367d28de8724ffda88966a130386429" href="https://www.ote-cr.cz/en/about-ote/ote-news/core-fb-mc-announcement-new-go-live-date.pdf" data-linktype="internal">here</a>.</p>

<p>The key strategic goals of OTE include activities related to a responsible approach to the environment, climate protection and sustainable development. The support of electricity generation from renewable sources of energy through its certified consumption is one of the means to achieve these goals.</p> <p>OTE, a.s., (OTE, the market operator) is a company that has a long-term and proactive approach to climate protection. It respects and recognizes the ethical and sustainable way of doing business and through its socially responsible activities strives to contribute to the improvement of the environment.<br />Therefore, the market operator decided in 2022 to cover its own consumption with electricity produced from renewable sources. OTE has received certification (Guarantees of Origin) from its supplier, which confirm that the electricity consumed at the company\'s headquarters and at the data centres, which OTE uses to operate the infrastructure of its systems through the IT service provider, was produced from renewable sources.</p> <p>"By consuming electricity produced from renewable sources, OTE fulfils its strategy of responsible behaviour towards society and the environment. I appreciate that we support more environmentally friendly methods of electricity production, which contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions," says the Chairman of the Board of OTE, Ing. Michal Puchel.</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;">Press release in PDF format available <a data-val="f860a1de0fe74534bb506db43154983f" href="https://www.ote-cr.cz/en/about-ote/ote-news/20220421_ote_electricity-renevable-sources.pdf" data-linktype="internal">HERE</a>.</p>

<p>In line with the Harmonised Maximum and Minimum Clearing Prices (HMMCP) Methodology in accordance with Article 41(1) of Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/1222 of 24th July 2015</p> <p>(CACM Regulation), the harmonised maximum clearing price for Single Day-Ahead Coupling</p> <p>(SDAC) will be increased by 1,000 EUR/MWh to +4 000 EUR/MWh as of 10th May 2022.</p> <p> </p> <p>This decision to increase the maximum clearing price follows the high prices of 2,712.99 and 2,987.78 EUR/MWh reached on 3rd April 2022 in France, in hours 8 and 9, respectively. The clearing price thus exceeded a value of 60 per cent of the harmonised maximum clearing price for SDAC, which is, according to the above-mentioned methodology, a precondition for this change.</p> <p> </p> <p>More information can be found <a data-val="9100837f0e664227b48299b0f3ba26da" href="https://www.ote-cr.cz/en/about-ote/ote-news/sdac-comm-note_-hmmp-4000_clean.pdf" data-linktype="internal">here</a>.</p>
