i Svenska kraftnäfs commitment

As committed, Svenska kraftnat has subdivided the Swedish part of the Nordic electricity märket into several bidding zones and the Swedish Transmission System is operated on this basis since November i, 2011. Congestion in the Swedish Transmission System, with exception of Congestion in the West Coast Corridor, is generally managed without limiting Trading Capacity on Interconnectors. This can be seen in subsequent chapters, and is particularly evident in Table 3.

1.1 2014 Ql This section describes operational experience and measures regarding allocation of trading capacity in the period January l to March 31, 2014.

In the period, totally 2 159 hours, the main direction of the power flow was southbound.

Table 1 below shows the average prices in Sweden and all neighbouring areas for the above mentioned period (excluding Germany and Poland). Table 2 summarises the number of hours where price differences occurred between the respective zones.

Table 3. Limitations in trading capacity on interconnectors and corridors between internal areas as enforced by Svenska kraftnät. The columns with average reductions shows the average NTC divided by maximilin NTC.

The majority of the limitations of export capacity on the interconnector SEl-FI, enforced by Svenska kraftnät during the period, are because of that the NTC depends on forecasted transfer between Kalix -Ossauskoski and Ivalo - Varangerbotn. The forecasted transfer can both increase and decrease the NTC (which also explains the negative average reduction for SEl-FI in table 4).

Table 4 below summarises the time during which neighhouring TSOs have allocated less trading capacity than maximum NTC to interconnectors in the period.

1.3 Comments on each interconnector

1.3.1 SEi-FI, North Finland Svenska kraftnät has reduced the export and import capacity for 2 120 and 37 hours, respectively, for the interconnector between SEi and Fl, mainlybecause the NTC depends on forecasted transfer between Kalix - Ossauskoski and Ivalo - Varangerbotn. In addition, Svenska kraftnät has reduced the import and export capacity for 9 hours because of urgent maintenance.

1.3.2 SE1-NO4, North Norway Svenska kraftnät has not reduced the capacity on the interconnector between SEl and NO4. In total, the export and import on the interconnector have been reduced for all hours.

1.3.3 SE2-NO3, Central Norway Svenska kraftnät has not reduced the capacity on the interconnector between SE2 and NO3. In total, the export and import on the interconnector have been reduced for 155 and o hours, respectively.

1.3.4 SE2-NO4, North Norway Svenska kraftnät has reduced the export and import capacity for 66 hours, on the interconnector between SE2 and NO4. In total, the export and import on the interconnector have both been reduced for all hours.

1.3.5 SE3-DK1, West Denmark Svenska kraftnät has reduced the export and import capacity for o and l 250 hours, respectively, on the interconnector between SE3 and DKi. The reason for reductions set by Svenska kraftnat was congestion in the West Coast Corridor. In total, the export and import on the interconnector have been reduced for 48 and 1302 hours, respectively.

1.3.6 SE3-FI, South Finland Svenska kraftnät has reduced the export and import capacity for all hours on the interconnector between SE3 and FI. The main reasons for export and import reductions set by Svenska kraftnät was voltage limitation on one of DC-links connecting SE3 and Fl. In addition, the export and import capacity was reduced for 24 hours because of a failure.

1.3.7 SE3-NO1, Southern Norway Svenska kraftnät has reduced the export and import capacity for 1272 and o hours, respectively, on the interconnector between SE3 and NOl. The reason for reductions set by Svenska kraftnät was congestion in the West Coast Corridor. In total, the export and import on the interconnector have been reduced for 1398 and 2 105 hours, respectively,

1.3.8 SE4-DE, Germany Svenska kraftnät has reduced the export and import capacity for 15 and 1214 hours, respectively, on the interconnector between SE4 and DE. The main reason for reductions set by Svenska kraftnät was congestion in the West Coast Corridor. The reason for 15 hours was maintenance in the vicinity of the interconnector. In total, the export and import on the interconnector have been reduced for 442 and 1591 hours, respectively.

1.3.9 SE4-DK2, East Denmark Svenska kraftnät has reduced the export and import capacity for 7 and 1243 hours, respectively, on the interconnector between SE4 and DK2. The main reason for reductions set by Svenska kraftnat was

Appendix A - 2014 Qi

The attached spreadsheet contains data for each hour during the period. Each value in the spreadsheet is explained in the tahle below.

Value Explanation

Maximum NTC export/southbound (MW) Maximum NTC import/northbound (MW)

Maximum NTC for export/import, as agreed by TSOs on both sides, and maximum NTC for corridors between internal areas in south/north direction. These values normally only change after the networlc has been reinforced.

SvIC NTC export (MW) SvK NTC import (MW)

Svenska kraftnät's view of NTC for export/import.

SvK Reduction export (Y/N) SvK Reduction import (Y/N)

Yes (Y), if Svenska kraftnät's view of NTC for export/import is lower than maximum NTC, otherwise No (N).

SvK Reduction export (MW) SvK Reduction import (MW)

Difference between maximum NTC and Svenska kraftnäfs view of NTC.

SvK Reason for export reduction SvK Reason for import reduction

Reason codes for Svenska kraftnäfs reduction of capacities. Reduction codes are according Nord Pool Spöt's instractions only reported when the reduction is greater than too MW. Because of this principle, there might be mismatches between the figures shown in table 3 and 5 and tables A2 to A5. See separate sheet in spreadsheet file for explanation of the codes.

Neighbouring TSO NTC export (MW) Neighbouring TSO NTC import (MW)

Neighbouring TSO's view of NTC for export/import.

Final NTC export/southbound (MW) Final NTC import/northbound (MW)

Final NTC for corridors between internal areas in south/north direction, and the minimum of Svenska kraftnäfs view and the neighbouring TSO's view of the export/import NTC on interconnectors.

Final Reduction export/southbound (Y/N) Final Reduction import/northbound (Y/N)

Yes (Y), if the final NTC is lower than the maximum NTC, otherwise No (N).

9/56

Final Reduction export/southbound (MW) Final Reduction import/northbound (MW)

Difference between maximum NTC and final NTC.

Final Reason for expoxt/southbound reduction Final Reason for import/northbound reduction

Reason codes for reduction of the final capacities. Reduction codes are according Nord Pool Spot's instructions only reported when the reduction is greater than 100 MW. Because of this principle, there might be mismatches between the figures shown in table 3 and 5 and tables Ä2 to A5. See separate sheet in spreadsheet file for explanation of the codes.

Registered physical flow (positive for imports and negative for exports/positive for southbound and negative for northbound)

Measured flow on interconnectors and corridors between internal areas.

Electricity price level SE1/SE2/SE3/SE4/DK1/DK2/NO1/NO3/NO4/FI (EUR)

Price level in SEl, SE2, SE3, SE4, DKl, DK2, NOl, NO3, NO4 and Fl. Prices for DE and PL are not available, since they are not part of Nord Pool Spot. Red figures indicate a higher price than neighbouring SE-area, and blue indicates a lower price.

Price difference (Y/N) Yes (Y), if there is a price difference between neighbouring SE-area and current area, otherwise No (N). Blank for DE and PL.

Table 3. Limitations in trading capacity on interconnectors and corridors between internal areas as enforced by Svenska kraftnät. The columns with average reductions shows the average NTC divided by maximum NTC.

The majority of the limitations of export capacity on the interconnector SEl-FI, enforced by Svenska kraftnät during the period, are because of that the NTC depends on forecasted transfer between Kalix -Ossauskosld and Ivalo - Varangerbotn. The forecasted transfer can both increase and decrease the NTC.

Table 4 below summarises the time during which neighbouring TSOs have allocated less trading capacity than maximum NTC to interconnectors in the period.

Appendix A - 2014 Q2

The attached spreadsheet contains data for each hour during the period. Each value in the spreadsheet is explained in the tahle helow.

Value Explanation


Maximum NTC for export/import, as agreed by TSOs on both sides, and maximum NTC for corridors between internal areas in south/north direction. These values normally only change after the network has been reinforced.

Svk NTC export (MW) Svk NTC import (MW)

Svenska kraftnäfs view of NTC for export/import.

Svk Reduction export (Y/N) Svk Reduction import (Y/N)

Yes (Y), if Svenska kraftnäfs view of NTC for export/import is lower than maximum NTC, otherwise No (N).

Svk Reduction export (MW) Svk Reduction import (MW)

Difference between maximum NTC and Svenska kraftnät's view of NTC.

Svk Reason for export reduction Svk Reason for import reduction

Reason codes for Svenska kraftnäfs reduction of capacities. Reduction codes are according Nord Pool Spof s instructions only reported when the reduction is greater than 100 MW. Because of this principle, there might be mismatches between the figures shown in table 3 and 5 and tables A2 to A5. See separate sheet in spreadsheet file for explanation of the codes.







23/56



Final Reason for export/southbound reduction Final Reason for import/northbound reduction

Reason codes for reduction of the final capacities. Reduction codes are according Nord Pool Spot's instructions only reported when the reduction is greater than 100 MW. Because of this principle, there might be mismatches between the figures shown in table 3 and 5 and tables A2 to A5. See separate sheet in spreadsheet file for explanation of the codes.




Price level in SEi, SE2, SE3, SE4, DKl, DI<2, NOl, NO3, NO4 and Fl. Prices for DE and PL are not available, since they are not part of Nord Pool Spot. Red figures indicate a higher price than neighbouring SE-area, and blue indicates a lower price.



Tables A2 to A5 shows how of many hours the capacities have heen reduced per type of reduction for each interconnector and corridor between internal areas. The reason codes are explained in the attached spreadsheet.

Period July i - September 30, 2014

Q3

3 Svenska kraftnät's commitment

As committed, Svenska kraftnat has subdivided the Swedish part of the Nordic electricity märket into several bidding zones and the Swedish Transmission System is operated on this basis since November l, 2011. Congestion in the Swedish Transmission System, with exception of Congestion in the West Coast Corridor, is generally managed without limiting Trading Capacity on Interconnectors. This can be seen in subsequent chapters, and is particularly evident in Table 3.

3.1 2014 Q3 This section descrihes operational experience and measures regarding allocation of trading capacity in the period July l to September 30, 2014.


Table l below shows the average prices in Sweden and all neighbouring areas for the above mentioned period (exclnding Germany and Poland). Table 2 snmmarises the mimber of hours where price differences occurred between the respective zones.

Period October i - December 31, 2014

Q4

4- Svenska kraftnät's commitment

As committed, Svenska kraftnat has subdivided the Swedish part of the Nordic electricity märket into several bidding zones and the Swedish Transmission System is operated on this basis since November l, 2011. Congestion in the Swedish Transmission System, with exception of Congestion in the West Coast Corridor, is generally managed without limiting Trading Capacity on Interconnectors. This can be seen in subsequent chapters, and is particularly evident in Table 3.

1.1. 2014 Q4 This section descrihes operational experience and measures regarding allocation of trading capacity in the period October l to December 31, 2014.


Table 1 below shows the average prices in Sweden and all neighbouring areas for the above mentioned period (excluding Germany and Poland). Table 2 summarises the number of hours where price differences occurred between the respective zones.

The majority of the limitations of export capacity on the interconnector SEi-FI, enforced hy Svenska kraftnät during the period, are because of that the NTC depends on forecasted transfer between Kalix -Ossauskoski and Ivalo - Varangerhotn. The forecasted transfer can hoth increase and decrease the NTC.

1.3- Comments on each interconnector

1.1.1. SEi-FI, North Finland Svenska kraftnät has reduced the export and import capacity for 1980 and 582 hours, respectively, on the interconnector between SEi and Fl, mainly because the NTC depends on forecasted transfer between Kalix - Ossauskoski and Ivalo - Varangerbotn, but also due to planned maintenance on the interconnector. In total, the export and import on the interconnector have been reduced for 1982 and 599 hours, respectively.

1.1.2. SE1-NO4, North Norway Svenska kraftnät has reduced the export and import capacity for o and 86 hours, respectively, on the interconnector between SEl and NO4, due to thermal limitations. In total, the export and import on the interconnector have been reduced during all hours.

1.1.3. SE2-NO3, Central Norway Svenska kraftnät has reduced the export and import capacity for 56 and 56 hours, respectively, on the interconnector between SE2 and NO3, due to planned maintenance.

In total, the export and import on the interconnector have been reduced for 1915 and 2 009 hours, respectively.

1.1.6. SE3-FI, Southern Finland Svenska kraftnät has reduced the export and import capacity for 96 and 92 hours, respectively, on the interconnector between SE3 and FL The reasons for export and import reductions set by Svenska lcraftnat was failure and planned maintenance on the interconnector. In total, the export and import on the interconnector have been reduced for 144 and 140 hours, respectively.

1.1.7. SE3-NO1, Southern Norway Svenska kraftnät has reduced the export and import capacity for 438 and 174 hours, respectively, on the interconnector between SE3 and NOl. The reason for reductions set by Svenska kraftnät was mainly congestion in the West Coast Corridor, but also due to maintenance on, and in the vicinity of, the interconnector (as well as thermal limitations). In total, the export and import on the interconnector have been reduced for 949 and 1210 hours, respectively.

1.1.8. SE4-DE, Germany Svenska kraftnät has reduced the export and import capacity for 387 and 295 hours, respectively, on the interconnector between SE4 and DE.
