Access to the ancillary service markets
There are two ways to supply ancillary services:
- The supplier must be approved as a balance responsible party for either generation or demand in eastern or western Denmark, cf. market regulation C1, and must also have signed a Main agreement on the supply of ancillary services. This option provides access to the delivery of all ancillary services.
- The supplier must have signed an Agreement on the supply of balancing services without energy supplies. This option provides access to the delivery of FCR in western Denmark, FFR in eastern Denmark and FCR-D in eastern Denmark – i.e. ancillary services with very limited energy supplies, which do not require that the supplier has a contract with a balance responsible party.
In addition, the plants and systems which are to supply the ancillary services must be approved by Energinet. Approval of plants and systems is granted subject to 'Prequalification and test of units and aggregated portfolios'.
A review of the various ancillary service products, including technical requirements and commercial conditions, can be found in 'Ancillary Services To Be Delivered In Denmark - Tender Conditions'.
Procedure in case of unavailability
If the sold capacity should prove unavaible in after the markets have closed but before the time of delivery the actor must, without unecessary delay, inform the danish control room. The control room must be informed either via phone or email on using the following contact information:
+45 70701925
kontrolcenterel@energinet.dk
Information must contain price area, which service(s), unavailable capacity and which hours the service is not available.
For FCR in DK2 this information must be sent via email using the following template.
