Key player in the construction
of an integrated European electricity market
Increased cooperation in terms of security of supply
The Transmission System Operators (TSOs) are keen to provide market players with a more detailed picture of long term prospects for the operation of the power systems and markets.
Consequently, in the "Centre West Europe" region, the French, Belgian, Dutch, Luxembourg and German TSOs have made a commitment to producing:
- a network development plan, based on national plans,
- a harmonized report of power system incidents, based on methods and incident scales used by RTE to establish its annual System Reliability Report for the French power network,
- a development of information exchange procedures between the TSOs' respective control centres,
- a generation adequacy report looking at the electricity supply-demand balance for the next fifteen years, based on a proven method used by RTE for France.
In February 2009, RTE and Elia set up the 1rst regional technical coordination centre named "Coreso". Its activities will contribute to strengthening network operating safety in Europe.
In the medium term, RTE is therefore contributing to the creation of a uniform and secure market, by continuing to develop international interconnections and devising innovative new solutions to fluidify exchanges. Thanks to these developments, European consumers will reap the benefits of greater economic and environmental optimization of Europe's generating fleets and improved security of supply.
