  • EUROPEX publishes a Position Paper on Guarantees of Origin Market Platform: A Possible Role of Organized Markets

    Functioning markets need balanced supply-demand drivers as well as standardization and ease of trading. Currently, demand is driven by various national specifics and to a lesser extent by voluntary demand by consumers.

  • RECS Market Meeting 2012

    EUROPEX is a supporting association of the RECS Market Meeting 2012 that will take place in Amsterdam on 21 and 22 March.

    The focus of the conference is about the origin of demand: consumers. The key question to be addressed in the 2012 RECS Market Meeting will be: “Who is purchasing renewable electricity and why?”

    According to RECS, it’s important for consumers to know that renewable electricity is robust and reliable, and that is why the RECS Market Meeting focuses on the Guarantee of Origin (GO) – the tool that makes the market for renewable electricity transparent.

Work Group Power Market

Andrew Claxton

Chair of the Working Group

The Working Group on Congestion Management (WGCM) has been established in January 2003 in order to fulfil accepted invitation "to put forward the views and methodologies on the contribution of energy exchanges to managing and eliminating congestion" as concluded by the European Electricity Regulatory Forum (Florence Forum) at its ninth meeting that took place in October 2002 in Rome.

Due to expansion of activities within EUROPEX, with the creation of three new working groups, the Steering Committee has decided in its meeting of 25 February 2009 to readdress the work of the WGCM. The change from WGCM to Working Group Power Market (WGPM) was decided in the Steering Committee meeting of 3 March 2010.

The objective of the WGPM is to create the framework for an efficient and improved power market. This means that the Working Group edits the necessary technical background documents and defines types of solution for the power market with a particular attention to practical implementation issues.

The WGPM deals with matters related to power market solutions including Spot Electricity Market, Balancing Markets, Forward/Future Electricity Market, Day-Ahead Congestion Management, Intra-Day Congestion Management, Market Splitting, Market Coupling, Nominations/Notifications and Clearing.

The WGPM has also been the platform for internal discussions on all matters concerned with the former "Ad Hoc Advisory Group (AHAG)" - currently renamed "ACER Electricity Stakeholders Advisory Group (AESAG)".
