What is the difference between the mFRR energy market and the mFRR capacity market?

The exact design of the mFRR capacity market has not yet been established. But this will be a procurement that takes place before Day-ahead (D-1) for the entire next delivery day per hour. As a result, the actor commits to providing a certain mFRR capacity to be made available as an energy activation bid on the mFRR energy market.

The energy activation market takes place much closer to operations and is based on demand in operating mode. The result is actual energy supply.

In the future, the energy activation market will be connected to the European platform MARI. This will enable demand to fluctuate even more. The markets will complement each other.
