After joining IGCC, PSE – like all operators joining the IN mechanism – will start a transitional period of up to 12 months. During this time, experience will be gathered regarding the impact of the IN mechanism on the operational security of KSE and connected power systems. Operational limits will also be applied during this period, in relation to the resulting interconnection capacity on the synchronous profile. They will be successively increased, with PSE not planning to apply limits greater than approx. ± 500 MW during the transition period. In justified cases, operating limits will be adjusted according to the current operating conditions of the National Power System.
Accession of PSE to IGCC, under which the IN mechanism is implemented, constitutes the fulfillment of the obligation arising from art. 22 of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2195 of 23.11.2017 establishing guidelines for balancing (Guideline on Electricity Balancing, EBGL).
