Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne – Value creation model

1. I. We are actively involved in shaping market mechanisms as part of building a European electricity market, taking into account the conditions of the domestic electricity market.

2. We make efforts to develop favorable market conditions to ensure effective and safe operation of the National Power System as an element of the European market.

3. Promoting active participation of consumers in market mechanisms

We are actively involved in shaping market mechanisms as part of building a European electricity market, taking into account the conditions of the domestic electricity market.

PSE is involved in the process of building the electricity market in Europe, in particular in the scope of creation of the following:
- Flow-Based Market Coupling for day-ahead and intra-day markets,
- o cross-border balancing market.
We are working to strengthen the coordination of cross-border exchange in Europe, including in terms of reducing unscheduled flows through the NPS .

Nasz wkład

We have implemented a mechanism for the single coupling of intra-day markets on the Polish borders. The Polish market area operates under the Single Intra-Day Coupling mechanism (SIDC), implemented using the XBID platform, starting from November 19, 2019. The SIDC mechanism initially covered four Polish borders (CZ–PL, DE–PL, LT–PL, PL–SE). Work has been started to include the PL–SK border in the SIDC.
We have implemented a mechanism allowing for operation of more than one NEMO in the Polish market area (MNA) – 2020 was a year of intensified work on implementation of mechanisms enabling operation of more than one Nominated Electricity Market Operator (Multi NEMO Arrangements – MNA) in the Polish area. The intention for the activities of multiple NEMOs is to increase the competitiveness of services in the electricity market. The production deployment of the MNA and the entry of the new NEMOs into the Polish electricity market occurred on February 9, 2021.
We have implemented a transitional (NTC-based) mechanism for the single day-ahead market coupling on Poland's synchronous borders – on June 17, 2021, Poland's synchronous borders (PL–DE, PL–CZ, PL–SK) were incorporated into the single day-ahead market coupling ( SDAC ) mechanism under the Interim Market Coupling (ICP) project. The implementation of the ICP project has made it possible to connect all EU countries as part of the single day-ahead market, which has been a significant step in the development of the European electricity market.
We are working on the implementation of the target (flow-based) mechanism for the single day-ahead market coupling on the Poland's synchronous borders – the next step, after the implementation of the ICP, planned for the first quarter of 2022, is to move to the target solution for the SDAC, i.e. the mechanism for the single day-ahead market coupling in the Core Region, based on the Flow-Based Market Coupling method.
We are working to develop the SIDC and SDAC – we have created a class of initiatives that fit into the area of Market Coupling implementation and development. The most important of these, planned for implementation within the next few years, are: (i) adding the PL–SK border to the SIDC, (ii) implementation of 15-minute market products in the SDAC, (iii) implementation of 15-minute market products in the SIDC, (iv) introduction of intra-day auctions, (v) implementation in the SIDC of a solution to automatically account for transmission losses at HVDC connections, and (vi) implementation of a flow-based method in the SIDC.
In-house indicator PSE representatives are involved in the work of European institutions and agencies:
- European Network of Transmission System Operators ENTSO-E). ENTSO-E consists of 42 transmission system operators from 35 countries.
