Approval of the Market Coupling Operator Plan proposed by all Nominated Electricity Market Operators

Decision

On 13 April 2017, following two amendment requests, dated 14th October 2016 and 14 February 2017 respectively, we received an amended proposal for the Market Coupling Operator Plan (MCO Plan). The proposal was prepared by all Nominated Electricity Market Operators (NEMOs), in accordance with Article 7(3) of the guideline on Capacity Allocation and Congestion Management (CACM Regulation). It was submitted to us by the two NEMOs designated in Great Britain (GB), EPEX SPOT SE and Nord Pool AS.

This letter sets out our decision to approve, in line with the all Regulatory Authority agreement, the Market Coupling Operator Plan and outlines the necessary next steps that must be taken.
