ACER Invites EU Market Electricity Participants To Take Part In A Survey On The Second Auctions In The Day-Ahead Market

What it is about?

Some regions of Europe’s electricity single day-ahead coupling (SDAC) rely on so-called “second auctions” in case of extremely high or low prices. Those auctions, only triggered by extreme prices, allow market participants to adapt their bids prior to a second run of the SDAC auction.

Recently, Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and Nominated Electricity Market Operators (NEMOs) have introduced second auctions in the bidding zones of the Baltic region.

The EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) would like to better understand how EU market participants consider the current functioning and potential evolutions of such second auctions. ACER invites EU market participants to fill in its survey by Thursday 30 March 2023.
