4 PCR AND CACM PCR (Price Coupling of Regions) has the scope of: creating a coordinated European electricity market, guarantee competition among operators, achieve environmental targets. PCR (Price Coupling of Regions) has three main legislative references. 3 legislative package (2009): ownership unbundling, NRA, ACER. European Network Codes ( codes among concerning all the relevant areas of electricity markets and system operations). CACM ( capacity allocation and congestion management) methods for allocating capacity in day-ahead and intra-day timescales and outlines the way in which capacity will be calculated across the different zones.

6 TARGET MODEL FOR DA AND IDM DA TARGET MODEL Single DA auction based market (SMP) taking place same time in all countries Unique clearing algorithm (EUPHEMIA) Single calculation agent Broad range of different order types (hours, blocks, PUN etc) Unit based or portfolio based models co-existing Implicit cross border (cross bidding zones) capacity allocation FB mechanism (unless proved that ATC works better) IDM TARGET MODEL - XBID Target Model for Intraday, based on continuous energy trading. Cross-zonal transmission capacity is allocated trough implicit continuous allocation (FCFS). Target model has been laid down into the Framework Guidelines for CACM. Intraday cross-zonal market solution will be based on a common IT system forming the backbone of the European solution, linking the local trading systems operated by the Power Exchanges, as well as the available cross-zonal transmission capacity provided by the TSOs. IDM TARGET MODEL COMPLIMENTARY AUCTIONS Complementary regional intraday auctions may be implemented within or between bidding zones in addition to XBID. Continuous trading within and between the relevant bidding zones will be stopped for a limited period of time before the intraday crosszonal gate closure time, which shall not exceed the minimum time required to hold the auction and in any case 10 minutes. Two ID complimentary auctions on Greece-Italy border. PHINERGY SRLS 6

7 WHAT WILL CHANGE FOR GREECE- ITALY CORRIDOR TRADERS CHANGES For Yearly Transmission capacity contracts nothing will change (explicit allocation mechanism and physical products). Monthly products should become financial products (one way cfd DA spread option with automatic exercise). Daily products will disappear. Italian MGP and Greek DAS will be coupled under Euphemia Algorithm (ATC model). XBID continuous trading and at least two complementary auctions will be jointly implemented. CONSEQUENCES More difficult to understand direction and size of interconnection flow (within ATC or FB transmission limits). More volatility in DA price of coupled bidding zones (especially in those periods when price levels are similar). Reduction in the price spreads between coupled bidding zones? PHINERGY SRLS 7

11 A SIMULATION EXERCISE WITH EUPHEMIA ALGORITHM MARKET RESULTS DELTA PCR (ATC MODEL) VS REAL (RECONSTRUCTED) reference flow date 10/04/2018 Evidences Significant change in the interconnection flow (commercial schedule). No more irrational flow direction vs spread direction combinations. Significant changes in SMP formation mechanism. More difficult predictability of flow direction and price spreads. Price spread reduction??? PHINERGY SRLS 11

14 CONCLUSIONS Target European power market model according to CACM is very close to be totally implemented. DAM and IDM coupling will imply significant operational changes for all non-epex markets. DAM coupling (ATC or FB) will induce more unpredictability on price realizations and interconnection flow, and hopefully price spreads convergence. Cross border intraday activity (xbid or complimentary auctions) will become an extremely important tool for portfolio optimization or proprietary trading activity. Advanced trading and data analysis tools could help significantly performance optimization (market and fundamental data real time availability, decision support analytics, market access automation etc ).
