Art. 15 - Provision of information - Regulation 714-2009

1. Transmission system operators shall put in place coordina­tion and information exchange mechanisms to ensure the secu­rity of the networks in the context of congestion management.

2. The safety, operational and planning standards used by transmission system operators shall be made public. The infor­ mation published shall include a general scheme for the calcula­ tion of the total transfer capacity and the transmission reliability margin based upon the electrical and physical features of the net­ work. Such schemes shall be subject to the approval of the regu­ latory authorities.

3. Transmission system operators shall publish estimates of available transfer capacity for each day, indicating any available transfer capacity already reserved. Those publications shall be made at specified intervals before the day of transport and shall include, in any event, week-ahead and month-ahead estimates, as well as a quantitative indication of the expected reliability of the available capacity.

4. Transmission system operators shall publish relevant data on aggregated forecast and actual demand, on availability and actual use of generation and load assets, on availability and use of the networks and interconnections, and on balancing power and reserve capacity. For availability and actual use of small genera­tion and load units, aggregated estimate data may be used.

5. The market participants concerned shall provide the trans­mission system operators with the relevant data.

6. Generation undertakings which own or operate generation assets, where at least one generation asset has an installed capac­ ity of at least 250 MW, shall keep at the disposal of the national regulatory authority, the national competition authority and the Commission, for five years all hourly data per plant that is nec­ essary to verify all operational dispatching decisions and the bid­ ding behaviour at power exchanges, interconnection auctions, reserve markets and over-the-counter-markets. The per-plant and per hour information to be stored shall include, but shall not be limited to, data on available generation capacity and committed reserves, including allocation of those committed reserves on a per-plant level, at the times the bidding is carried out and when production takes place.
