Principles governing methods for congestion management

Regulation (EC) No 1228/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 on conditions for access to the network for cross-border exchanges in electricity (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

Network congestion problems shall preferentially be solved with non-transaction based methods, i.e. methods that do not involve a selection between the contracts of individual market participants. Cross-border coordinated redispatching or counter trading may be used jointly by the TSOs concerned. The costs that TSOs incur in counter-trading and redispatching must, however, be at an efficient level. The possible merits of a combination of market splitting, or other market based mechanisms, for solving ‘permanent’ congestion and counter-trading for solving temporary congestion shall be immediately explored as a more enduring approach to congestion management.
