New pilot project to balance power in Germany and Austria

Tennet

The four German transmission grid operators and Austrian grid operator APG have agreed to cooperate on secondary balancing power. The aim is for grid operators to work more closely to shape a harmonised European market for secondary balancing power. By shaping a common merit order for secondary balancing power, the most cost-efficient offer will be used in both countries, Tennet says in a press release.
Secondary balancing power is needed to stabilise the grid in the event of discrepancies between power fed onto the grid and power consumed.
