Energy Trading Platform Amsterdam (ETPA) is the third NEMO to operate in the Dutch Market Area within the European SIDC
SIDC parties confirm the go-live ETPA’s trading platform to operate within the European Single Intraday Coupling as of 1 August. ETPA will start hosting trading in the Dutch Market Area and is planning to expand to other European countries.
The Nominated Electricity Market Operators (NEMOs) and Transmission System Operators (TSOs) cooperating in the ETPA Local Implementation Project, which aims to integrate ETPA into the European Single Intraday Coupling market (SIDC) confirmed the go-live for the addition of ETPA’s trading platform to SIDC. This confirmation follows the successful completion of functional integration testing as well as simulation integration testing.
The integration of ETPA’s trading platform into SIDC marks another important milestone towards increasing the efficiency of the single European Electricity Market. Market participants operating across countries will benefit from an Electricity Market that becomes more liquid and therefore increasingly competitive. More market participants will be joining SIDC, allowing for more assets to react to price signals and therefore adding flexibility and reducing price volatility.
SIDC currently couples the continuous intraday markets of 25 countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Norway, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden.
