The energy sector in Europe is undergoing a dramatic transition towards the fully carbon neutral, sustainable energy system. The Nordic countries have set particularly stretching targets for this transition during this decade including introducing Energy Islands. Nordic Regional Security Coordinator (RSC) is a key player in this transition as the provider of regional power system information and analysis to support the national Transmission System Operators (TSO) to ensure the efficient operation and high security of power supply at any time.

Seven European transmission system operators have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the launch of Eurobar, an initiative for interconnecting offshore wind platforms across Europe. The aim of Eurobar is to efficiently and securely integrate offshore wind power into the European power grid, starting from current regulation and projects (e.g. point-to-point connections) and prospectively evolving to an interlinked offshore network or “busbar alike system”.

The Nordic TSOs have decided to keep the current aFRR procurement of 104 hours per week in Q2/2021. The total volume will be varied with approximately 300 MW in most hours and approximately 400 MW in morning hours during weekdays.

As a result of joint technical evaluation, Svenska kraftnät and Fingrid have agreed on the intention to continue operation of Fenno-Skan 1 HVDC connection at least until end of 2040. The connection provides 400 MW market capacity between Sweden and Finland.
