Article 128
All TSOs of the CE and Nordic synchronous areas shall specify in the synchronous area operational agreement the values of the level 1 FRCE range and the level 2 FRCE range for each LFC block of the CE and Nordic synchronous areas at least annually. All TSOs of the CE and Nordic synchronous areas, if consisting of more than one LFC block, shall ensure that the Level 1 FRCE ranges and the Level 2 FRCE ranges of the LFC blocks of those synchronous areas are proportional to the square root of the sum of the initial FCR obligations of the TSOs constituting the LFC blocks in accordance with Article 153. All TSOs of the CE and Nordic synchronous areas shall endeavour to comply with the following FRCE target parameters for each LFC block of the synchronous area: the number of time intervals per year outside the Level 1 FRCE range within a time interval equal to the time to restore frequency shall be less than 30 % of the time intervals of the year; and the number of time intervals per year outside the Level 2 FRCE range within a time interval equal to the time to restore frequency shall be less than 5 % of the time intervals of the year. Where an LFC block consists of more than one LFC area, all TSOs of the LFC block shall specify in the LFC block operational agreement the values of the FRCE target parameters for each LFC area. For the GB and IE/NI synchronous areas the Level 1 FRCE range shall be equal to or larger than 200 mHz and the Level 2 FRCE range shall be equal to or larger than 500 mHz. All TSOs of the GB and IE/NI synchronous areas shall endeavour to comply with the following FRCE target parameters of a synchronous area: the maximum number of time intervals outside the Level 1 FRCE range shall be less than or equal to the value in the Table of Annex IV as a percentage of the time intervals per year; the maximum number of time intervals outside the Level 2 FRCE range shall be less than or equal to the value in the Table of Annex IV as a percentage of the time intervals per year. All TSOs shall verify, at least annually, that the FRCE target parameters are fulfilled.
