APG And EPEX SPOT To Launch 15-Minute Contracts In Austria On 1 October 2015 - Cross-Border Matching With German And Swiss Intraday Market From The Start

Date 09/09/2015

Trading of 15-minute contracts will be extended to the continuous Intraday market in Austria as of 1 October 2015, subject to successful member testing. The Austrian transmission system operator (TSO) APG, its German counterparties Amprion, Tennet and TransnetBW, the European Power Exchange EPEX SPOT and its clearing house European Commodity Clearing (ECC) have closely cooperated on this extension in the recent months. Following the reduction of the cross-border intraday lead time to 60 minutes on the Austrian-German border by 16 July 2015, the  introduction of 15-minute contracts in Austria becomes possible through the adaptation of scheduling and capacity systems by the Austrian and German TSOs. Right from the start, cross-border matching with German and Swiss 15-minute contracts is an integral part of the extension, so that these contracts now span across three countries.
