Regarding the calculation and adjustment of permissible hourly values of export and import supplies from/to the Interconnected Power System of Ukraine
Taking into account operational information on the state of generating equipment and the need to ensure the operational security of the Interconnected Power System of Ukraine, NPC Ukrenergo calculates and adjusts the permissible hourly export and import values for each external flow operator (exporter and importer) on a proportional basis, in accordance with the allocated transfer capacity along the cross-border paths of the Interconnected Power System of Ukraine.
Regarding clarifications on the implementation of the Regulation on the peculiarities of electricity imports under the legal regime of martial law in Ukraine, approved by Resolution No. 1127 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 27th October, 2023, NPC Ukrenergo requests that you adhere to the following procedures:
- If imported electricity is supplied to end consumers of the Interconnected Power System of Ukraine, the market participant (electricity supplier) must, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Regulation, provide the Transmission System Operator with information on imported electricity using Forma1 in “.xlsx” format by 1 p.m. on the day before the supply date.
Information regarding the completion of Form1 by the electricity supplier is provided in accordance with Instructions for filling out Form1.
- An electricity supplier may provide imported electricity to the end consumer not only from its own direct imports at the border of Ukraine but also from electricity purchased from a Ukrainian electricity supplier (trader) who, in turn, imported it at the border.
- If imported electricity is sold or transferred to another market participant, the market participant conducting such sale or transfer of imported electricity (trader) shall, by 1 p.m. on the day before the supply date, provide the transmission system operator with information on the volumes of imported electricity, including the detailed breakdown of the market participants purchasing or receiving imported electricity, in accordance with Forma2 in “.xlsx” format.
Instructions for completion Form2 are provided in Instructions for filling out Forma2.
- According to Clause 7 of the Regulation, the electricity supplier must notify the DSO to whose network the electricity consumer receiving the imported electricity is connected. The electricity supplier must provide (or duplicate) Form 1, which was provided by the TSO, to the DSO.
- According to Clause 6.2 of the Regulation, the DSO must provide the TSO with information on the consumers that will receive imported electricity, as well as the volume of their electricity consumption.
If there are no comments or objections, the DSO duplicates Form1, as received from the electricity supplier, and submits it to the TSO. All electricity suppliers for a given supply date of imported electricity are consolidated and submitted in a single file.
- The electricity supplier must ensure that the DSO provides the necessary supporting information to the TSO.
6.1. According to Clause 7 of the Regulation, by 1 p.m. on the day preceding the day of supply, the market participant (electricity supplier) delivering imported electricity to the end consumer of NPC Ukrenergo must submit information on the imported electricity to the transmission system operator (hereinafter referred to as the TSO) in accordance with Form3.
Guidelines for completing Forma3 are provided in Instructions for filling out Forma3.
- If a market participant acts as both an electricity supplier and a trader, they must submit information under Form 1 and Form 2 in separate emails.
- In case the required information is not provided, and/or transmission system operator of the exporting country doesn`t confirm the electricity import schedule, and/or in case the electricity import schedule nominated by the trader in the MMS system does not match the information submitted by the market participant, the TSO will modify / reject the request to increase the permitted volume of capacity and electricity consumption by the total volume of purchased imported electricity. The market participant will be notified of this decision by the e-mail specified in Form1, Form2, Form3.
The following regulatory legal acts are used in this work:
- Law of Ukraine On the Electricity Market, Article 38: General principles of limitation management
“2. If the planned commercial exchanges are not consistent with the secure operation of the network, the transmission system operator shall regulate the limitations in accordance with operational security requirements in the most cost-effective manner. Corrective re-dispatching or countertrading shall be applied as a last resort, if less costly measures cannot be implemented.”
- Resolution No. 763 of the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Public Utilities of Ukraine, dated 03 April, 2020, Section 9.2.4:
“9.2.4. The reduction shall be applied to the physical transmission rights for the relevant periods on a pro rata basis, regardless of the product’s period of use. If the reduction occurs after the nomination deadline, it shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the nominated physical transmission rights.”
When determining the reduction amount of physical transmission rights according to the proportional principle, the value is rounded up to the nearest higher whole number for each physical transmission rights owner.
- Reporting to State Authorities for the Accounting Period
In order to timely prepare and provide the customs authorities of Ukraine, the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Public Utilities of Ukraine and the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine with data on electricity volumes transferred during the reporting periods between the Interconnected Power System of Ukraine and the power systems of neighbouring countries, a completed form must be submitted according to the instructions. The form should be sent to the designated electronic mailboxes by the 3rd day (inclusive) of the month following the reporting month at [email protected] and [email protected] .
