TITLE 6

When establishing a scheduling process TSOs shall take into account and complement where necessary the operational conditions of the generation and load data methodology developed in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2015/1222. Where a bidding zone covers only one control area, the geographical scope of the scheduling area is equal to the bidding zone. Where a control area covers several bidding zones, the geographical scope of the scheduling area is equal to the bidding zone. Where a bidding zone covers several control areas, TSOs within that bidding zone may jointly decide to operate a common scheduling process, otherwise, each control area within that bidding zone is considered a separate scheduling area. For each power generating facility and demand facility subject to requirements for scheduling set out in the national terms and conditions, the concerned owner shall appoint or act as a scheduling agent. Each market participant and shipping agent, subject to requirements for scheduling set out in the national terms and conditions, shall appoint or act as a scheduling agent. Each TSO operating a scheduling area shall establish arrangements necessary to process the schedules provided by scheduling agents. Where a scheduling area covers more than one control area, the TSOs responsible for the control areas shall agree about which TSO shall operate the scheduling area. Each scheduling agent, except scheduling agents of shipping agents, shall submit to the TSO operating the scheduling area, if requested by the TSO, and, where applicable, to third party, the following schedules: generation schedules; consumption schedules; internal commercial trade schedules; and external commercial trade schedules. Each scheduling agent of a shipping agent or, where applicable, a central counterparty shall submit to the TSO operating a scheduling area covered by market coupling, if requested by the concerned TSO, and where applicable to third party, the following schedules: external commercial trade schedules as: multilateral exchanges between the scheduling area and a group of other scheduling areas; bilateral exchanges between the scheduling area and another scheduling area; internal commercial trade schedules between the shipping agent and central counter parties; internal commercial trade schedules between the shipping agent and other shipping agents. Each TSO operating a scheduling area shall check whether the generation, consumption, external commercial trade schedules and external TSO schedules in its scheduling area are in sum balanced. For external TSO schedules, each TSO shall agree on the values of the schedule with the respective TSO. In the absence of an agreement, the lower value shall apply. For bilateral exchanges between two scheduling areas, each TSO shall agree on the external commercial trade schedules with the respective TSO. In the absence of an agreement about the values of the commercial trade schedules, the lower value shall apply. All TSOs operating scheduling areas shall verify that all aggregated netted external schedules between all scheduling areas within the synchronous area are balanced. If a mismatch occurs and the TSOs do not agree on the values of the aggregated netted external schedules, the lower values shall apply. Each scheduling agent of a shipping agent or, where applicable, a central counterparty shall provide TSOs, upon their request, with the values of external commercial trade schedules of each scheduling area involved in market coupling in the form of aggregated netted external schedules. Each scheduled exchange calculator shall provide to TSOs, upon their request, with the values of scheduled exchanges related to the scheduling areas involved in the market coupling in the form of aggregated netted external schedules, including bilateral exchanges between two scheduling areas. At the request of another TSO, the requested TSO shall calculate and provide: aggregated netted external schedules; and netted area AC position, where the scheduling area is interconnected to other scheduling areas via AC transmission links. When required for the creation of common grid models, in accordance with Article 70(1), each TSO operating a scheduling area shall provide any requesting TSO with: generation schedules; and consumption schedules.
