Procurement of automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve (aFRR) in April
The Nordic TSOs have gradually reduced the procurement of aFRR in March after the implementation of the Automated Nordic mFRR Energy Activation Market (EAM).
The TSOs increased the procurement temporarily from 3 March to secure a safe transition to the new balancing model.
The main basis for the procurement is the TSO goal for frequency quality level.
Nordic aFRR volumes
From week 14, the total volume for upwards balancing will be 400 MW and for downwards balancing 450 MW.
The TSOs evaluate and reassess the observed quality of balancing and risk mitigation continuously to have a safe transition to new balancing procedures. The TSOs will therefore consider weekly changes in the procurement volumes and in minor steps (25-50 MW) in April.
aFRR will be procured for all hours and all days of the week.
