As stated in the last Italian Energy reform a National Intraday Market (ID Market) will go live on 1 January 2011. The proposal for the new National Intraday Market has been put in consultation at the beginning of September 2010.

The features of the ID Market, that are in line with the Italian market design, are as follows:

Implicit auction

Market splitting with a zonal structure

Hourly products

The ID market will be based* on 2 sessions in the day D – in each session the tradable hours correspond to 3/4 hours after the gate closure ‘till the end of the day

* The timetable of the market is still under discussion
