From tomorrow, 17 April 2024, Nemo Link will move its dynamic overload facility which is current running each day between 17:00 – 22:00 CE(S)T to new timings between 10:00 – 15:00 CE(S)T.
This means the Maximum Physical Transfer Capacity (MPTC) of the interconnector at mid-channel reference point will be 1032MW for a period of 5 hours each day between 10:00-15:00 CE(S)T and please note this is only available in the direction BE to GB.
Subject to the day ahead capacity calculation process, market participants will see Nemo Link’s unrestricted Day Ahead Net Transfer Capacity (NTC) of 1032MW (BE to GB direction) between 10:00-15:00 CE(S)T in the day ahead auction on 16 April 2024 for delivery on 17 April 2024.
Any unallocated capacity will flow through to intraday auctions, subject to a further intraday capacity calculation process.
Effective from delivery 17/04/2024 until further notice
Background information:
The design of the interconnector means that Nemo Link has the ability to operate the interconnector for short periods (e.g. 5 hours) in excess of its nominal continuous rating by taking advantage of the thermal characteristics of the plant and the in-built redundancy of the cooling systems. Increasing the flow of the interconnector by 20MW is therefore possible for a few hours. This has been introduced on Nemo Link since 18th December 2019.
