France - Germany interconnection

For exports and imports,

  • yearly and monthly capacities are offered in explicit auctions
  • daily capacity is made available to the market coupling. In case of unavailability of market coupling, daily capacity is offered to explicit auctions ;
  • Intraday capacities are offered via both explicit and implicit auctions. The capacity allocation platform Intraday Capacity Service operates allocations on behalf of RTE, Amprion and EnBW Transportnetze AG. For intraday allocations, capacities are free and they must be used in their full amount.
For this interconnection,
RTE therefore publishes the following data every day and for each hourly interval:
