On 18 June 2019, we received a request from the Electricity System Operator (ESO) for a derogation from the implementation of the provisions of Article 19(5) of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2195 establishing a guideline on electricity balancing (the EBGL Regulation). Specifically, the ESO requested a derogation from the deadline by which a Transmission System Operator (TSO) must use the European platform for the exchange of balancing energy from replacement reserves (the TERRE platform ).
This letter sets out our decision to grant the ESO a derogation from the use of the TERRE platform in accordance with Article 5(4)(h) of the EBGL Regulation and also outlines the necessary next steps that must be taken.
