1. Introduction and legal context

This document elaborates an agreement of the Regulatory Authorities of Synchronous

Area Continental Europe (hereinafter referred to as: SA CE NRAs) of 11 June 2025 on

all Synchronous Area Continental Europe Transmission System Operators`

(hereinafter referred to as: SA CE TSOs) proposal for determination of Load-

Frequency Control blocks (hereinafter referred to as: LFC blocks) for the Synchronous

Area Continental Europe (hereinafter referred to as: SA CE). SA CE TSOs submitted

the proposal with regard to Article 141(2) of the Commission Regulation (EU)

2017/1485 of 2 August 2017 establishing a guideline on electricity transmission system

operation as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/280 of 22

February 2021 amending Regulations (EU) 2015/1222, (EU) 2016/1719, (EU)

2017/2195 and (EU) 2017/1485 in order to align them with Regulation (EU) 2019/943

(hereinafter referred to as: SO GL).

This agreement of the SA CE NRAs shall provide evidence that a decision on all SA

CE TSOs proposal for determination of LFC blocks for the SA CE does not, at this

stage, need to be adopted by the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators

pursuant to Article 6(8) of SO GL. It is intended to constitute the basis on which the SA

CE NRAs will each subsequently approve the proposal pursuant to Article 7 of SO GL.

According to the legal procedure set out in Article 6 and Article 7 of SOGL, a joint

decision by SA CE NRAs is expected by 27 August 2025.

The legal provisions that lie at all SA CE TSOs proposal for determination of LFC

blocks for the SA CE, and this SA CE NRAs agreement on the mentioned proposal,

can be found in Articles 4, 6, 141(2) and 141(11) of SO GL. They are set out here for

2. The SA CE TSOs’ proposal

The Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) have successfully synchronised

their electricity systems with the SA CE on 9 February 2025. This is a key milestone

for the Baltic States and for Europe strengthening the energy resilience and

independence across the region. The synchronisation enables the Baltic States to

5

manage their electricity grids in close cooperation with all other SA CE countries, with

stable and reliable frequency control, significantly enhancing regional energy security.

All electricity interconnections with Russia and Belarus have been permanently

disconnected.

With the synchronization, the Baltic TSOs1 established a Baltic LFC block in

accordance with Article 141(11) of SO GL.

The Baltic LFC block consists of three LFC areas (Lithuanian LFC area, Latvian LFC

area and Estonian LFC area). Each Baltic LFC area is operated by an individual TSO.

The Baltic LFC block will ensure high cooperation between the Baltic TSOs in the load

frequency control in the Baltic States and in the implementation of the Baltic balancing

capacity and balancing energy markets. To this extent the Baltic TSOs:

1) started participating in a Frequency containment process (FCP) within the SA

CE;

2) implemented a time control process according to Article 181 of SO GL and to

SA CE Framework Agreement (SAFA) requirements;

3) implemented a Frequency restoration process (FRP) within the Baltic LFC

block with the accession to the Platform for the International Coordination of

automated Frequency Restoration and Stable System Operation (PICASSO);

4) started the imbalance netting process according to the International Grid

Control Cooperation (IGCC) requirements.

The all SA CE TSOs proposal for determination of LFC blocks for the SA CE includes

the new Baltic LFC block in the LFC block structure for the SA CE. The proposal was

consulted from 9 December 2024 to 10 January 20252 and the last SA CE NRA

received it on 27 February 2025, which determined the deadline for an SA CE NRAs

agreement by 27 August 2025.

Despite the proposal mentions a full implementation within two months after the

approval of the SA CE NRAs, the new LFC Block structure nonetheless started being

operational, even if not formally approved, already on the date of the synchronization

(9 February 2025), in order to ensure consistency with the overall frequency control

process in the SA CE.

3. The SA CE NRAs position The proposal for the determination of LFC blocks generally contributes towards determining the common load-frequency control processes and control structures required by Article 4 of SO GL. In particular, the LFC blocks determination specifies the LFC blocks, LFC areas and Monitoring areas, organized in order to improve the performance of the LFC control and the efficiency of the reserves dimensioning process, ensuring consistency with the existing bidding zones. The structure contributes to system security and common control process, and therefore to the achievement of the objectives of Article 4 of SO GL. The all SA CE TSOs proposal matches the above-mentioned general requirements by describing how the frequency process operates in the SA CE after the synchronization with the Baltic electricity system.

1 Elering AS, AS "Augstsprieguma tīkls", Litgrid AB 2 The public consultation is available on the ENTSO-e website: https://consultations.entsoe.eu/system-operations/all-tsos-proposal-for-amending-the- determination-o/

6

The SA CE NRAs are also aware that the Baltic LFC block is already operational even if not formally approved. This situation was clearly unavoidable, since the new LFC block configuration necessarily entered into operation on the date of the synchronization in order to ensure a smooth and efficient frequency control process, while a formal approval by the SA CE NRAs is a bit delayed since the last NRA received the proposal only after the synchronization date.

4. Conclusions

The SA CE NRAs welcome the submitted all SA CE TSOs proposal for determination of LFC blocks for the SA CE. The SA CE NRAs have assessed, consulted and closely cooperated and coordinated to reach an agreement on the mentioned proposal which meets the requirements of the SO GL and as such can be approved by the SA CE NRAs. The SA CE NRAs agree to issue their national approval decisions on the basis of this

approval paper and commit to adopt these decisions by 30 June 2025 at the latest in

order to provide legal support to the new LFC block structure that has already been

into operation since the synchronization date.

Whereas

(1) To comply with Article 141(2) of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1485 establishing a

guideline on electricity transmission system operation as amended by Commission Implementing

Regulation (EU) 2021/280 of 22 February 2021 amending Regulations (EU) 2015/1222, (EU)

2016/1719, (EU) 2017/2195 and (EU) 2017/1485 in order to align them with Regulation (EU)

2019/943 (“SO GL”), the Transmission System Operators of Synchronous Area Continental

Europe (the “CE TSOs”) jointly developed “All TSOs proposal for the determination of LFC

blocks for the Synchronous Area Continental Europe” of 15/07/2018 (the “LFC blocks

determination”).

(2) The Load-Frequency Control blocks (the “LFC blocks”) determination was approved by all

regulatory authorities of Continental Europe pursuant to Article 6(3)(g) of SO GL. It determines

not only LFC block configuration but also LFC areas and monitoring areas within each LFC

block.

(3) The LFC-block determination generally contributes towards determining the common load-

frequency control processes and control structures required by Article 4(1)(a)(c) of SO GL. In

particular, the LFC blocks determination specifies the LFC blocks, LFC areas and Monitoring

areas in Continental Europe, organized in order to improve the performance of the LFC control

and the efficiency of the reserves dimensioning process, while it is consistent with the existing

bidding zones. The structure contributes to system security and a common control process and

structures, and therefore to the achievement of the objectives of Article 4 of SO GL.

(4) With the synchronization of the Baltic TSOs forming one LFC block in the Continental Europe

Synchronous Area (CE SA), the Baltic TSOs will become a part of the CE SA.

(5) In conclusion, the new determination of the LFC blocks contributes to the general objectives of

the SO GL to the benefit of all market participants and electricity end consumers.

(6) Furthermore, it contributes to the general objectives of the Commission Regulation (EU)

2017/2195 establishing a guideline on electricity balancing (“EB GL”), as it will allow the Baltic

TSOs to directly participate on the European platform for imbalance netting process (according

to Article 22 of EB GL) and the European platform for the exchange of balancing energy from

frequency restoration reserves with manual (according to Article 20 of EB GL) and with

automatic activation (according to Article 21 of EB GL), which is to the benefit of all market

participants and electricity end consumers, as it will reduce energy costs, increases competition

between market participants and increases the security of supply.

kooskõlastamise kohta kooskõlas Komisjoni määruse (EL) 2017/1485, 2. august 2017,

millega kehtestatakse elektri ülekandesüsteemi käidueeskiri, artikli 141 lõikega 2

1. Haldusmenetluse alustamine

Euroopa Komisjoni Määrusega (EL) 2017/1485 kehtestati elektri ülekandesüsteemi

käidueeskiri (edaspidi ka SOGL või SOGLi määrus)1.

SOGL artikli 6 lõike 1 alusel kiidab iga reguleeriv asutus või vajaduse korral koostööamet heaks

tingimused või meetodid, mis põhivõrguettevõtjad on lõigete 2 ja 3 kohaselt koosatanud.

Liikmesriigi määratud asutus kiidab heaks lõike 4 kohased põhivõrguettevõtjate väljatöötatud

tingimused või metoodika. Kui liikmesriik ei ole sätestanud teisiti, on määratud asutus

reguleeriv asutus. Enne tingimuste ja meetodite heakskiitmist vaatab reguleeriv asutus,

koostööamet või määratud asutus pärast asjaomaste põhivõrguettevõtjatega konsulteerimist

vajaduse korral ettepanekud läbi, et tagada nende kooskõla käesoleva määruse eesmärgiga ning

aidata kaasa turgude lõimimisele, mittediskrimineerimisele, tõhusale konkurentsile ja turu

nõuetekohasele toimimisele.

SOGLi artikli 6 lõike 3 punkti g alusel peab ühtne koormuse-sageduse juhtimisplokkide (LFC

plokkide) määratlemise ettepanek iga sünkroonala jaoks kooskõlas artikli 141 lõikega 2 saama

kõigi vaatlusaluse piirkonna2 reguleerivate asutuste heakskiidu.

SOGLi artikli 6 lõike 7 järgi, kui tingimuste või metoodika heakskiitmiseks vastavalt lõikele 3

või nende muutmiseks vastavalt artiklile 7 on vaja rohkem kui ühe reguleeriva asutuse otsust

vastavalt lõikele 3, peavad pädevad reguleerivad asutused kokkuleppele jõudmiseks omavahel

konsulteerima, tegema tihedat koostööd ja kooskõlastama oma tegevuse. Kui koostööamet

esitab oma arvamuse, võtavad pädevad reguleerivad asutused seda arvesse. Reguleerivad

asutused või vajaduse korral koostööamet teevad lõigete 2 ja 3 kohaselt esitatud tingimuste ja

meetodite kohta otsuse kuue kuu jooksul pärast seda, kui koostööamet või reguleeriv asutus või

asjakohasel juhul viimane asjaomane reguleeriv asutus on tingimused või meetodid kätte

saanud. Ajavahemik algab järgmisel päeval pärast seda, kui ettepanek esitati koostööametile

vastavalt lõikele 2 või viimasele asjaomasele reguleerivale asutusele vastavalt lõikele 3.

SOGLi artikli 141 lõike 2 järgi töötavad kõik sünkroonala põhivõrguettevõtjad koos välja

sellise ettepaneku LFC plokkide määratlemise kohta, mis vastab järgmistele nõuetele:

a) jälgimispiirkond vastab kas ühele LFC piirkonnale või on osa ühest LFC piirkonnast;

1 Kättesaadav: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/ET/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:02017R1485-20210315 2 Antud juhul kõigi Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonala riiklike reguleerivate asutuste heakskiidu.

2 (4)

b) LFC piirkond vastab kas ühele LFC plokile või on osa ühest LFC plokist;

c) LFC plokk vastab kas ühele sünkroonalale või on osa ühest sünkroonalast ja

d) iga võrguelement on üksnes ühe jälgimispiirkonna osa, üksnes ühe LFC piirkonna osa ja

üksnes ühe LFC ploki osa.

Haldusmenetluse seaduse (HMS) § 14 lõike 1 järgi esitatakse haldusmenetluse algatamiseks

haldusorganile vabas vormis avaldus (taotlus).

2. Menetlusosaline

Elering AS, äriregistri kood 11022625, asukoht Kadaka tee 42, Tallinn, 12915, e-post:

[email protected].

3. Asjaolud ja menetluse käik

25.02.2025 esitas Elering AS (Elering) Konkurentsiametile kooskõlastamiseks kõikide Mandri-

Euroopa sünkroonala põhivõrguettevõtjate (edaspidi ka põhivõrguettevõtjad) ühise metoodika

muutmist käsitleva ettepaneku LFC plokkide määratlemise kohta Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonala

jaoks kooskõlas SOGLi määruse artikli 141 lõikega 2 (metoodika).

Elering selgitab taotluses, et Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonala põhivõrguettevõtjad on vastava

metoodika ettepaneku välja töötanud ja Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonala reguleerivad asutused on

vastavalt SOGLi artikli 6 lõike 3 punktile g, ettepaneku heaks kiitnud. Seoses asjaoluga, et Balti

elektrisüsteemid sünkroniseeriti 09.02.2025 Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonalaga ning, et Balti

põhivõrguettevõtjad on kokku leppinud Balti LFC ploki moodustamises, täiendati metoodika

ettepanekut Balti põhivõrguettevõtjate kohta käiva infoga. Vastavalt ettepaneku täiendustele

moodustavad Eesti, Läti ja Leedu põhivõrguettevõtjad ühise Balti LFC ploki ning iga Balti

põhivõrguettevõtja eraldi moodustab LFC ala ja LFC jälgimise ala.

Põhivõrguettevõtjad on kooskõlas SOGLi artikliga 11 metoodika muutmist käsitlevat

ettepanekut avalikult konsulteerinud Euroopa põhivõrguettevõtjate koostööorganisatsiooni

(ENTSO-E) konsultatsioonikeskkonnas perioodil 09.12.2024 kuni 10.01.20253.

11.06.2025 kiitsid Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonala riiklikud reguleerivad asutused ühiselt

Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonala põhivõrguettevõtjate metoodika muutmist käsitleva ettepaneku

heaks (Lisa 2).

4. Asjaomaste reguleerivate asutuste ühine seisukoht

Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonala riiklikud reguleerivad asutused on ühisel seisukohal, et ettepanek

LFC plokkide määratlemise kohta aitab üldjoontes kaasa koormuse-sageduse reguleerimise

ühtsete protsesside ja juhtimisstruktuuride kindlaks määramisele, nagu on nõutud SOGLi

artiklis 4 sätestatud eesmärkides. Eelkõige määratakse LFC plokkide määratlemisega kindlaks

LFC plokid, LFC alad ja LFC jälgimisalad, mis on organiseeritud nii, et parandada LFC

juhtimise toimivust ja reservide suuruse määramise (dimensioneerimise) protsessi tõhusust,

tagades kooskõla olemasolevate pakkumispiirkondadega. Selline struktuur toetab süsteemi

töökindlust ja ühist juhtimisprotsessi ning aitab seega kaasa SOGLi artiklis 4 sätestatud

3 Kättesaadav: https://consultations.entsoe.eu/system-operations/all-tsos-proposal-for-amending-the-

determination-o/

3 (4)

eesmärkide saavutamisele.

Põhivõrguettevõtjate ettepanek vastab SOGLis sätestatud nõuetele, kirjeldades, kuidas

sagedusprotsess Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonalas pärast Balti elektrisüsteemi sünkroniseerimist

toimib.

Samuti on Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonala riiklikud reguleerivad asutused teadlikud, et Balti LFC

plokk on juba töös, isegi kui see ei ole veel ametlikult heaks kiidetud (antud metoodika

muudatust käsitleva ettepanekuga). See olukord oli selgelt vältimatu, kuna uus LFC plokkide

konfiguratsioon pidi tingimata jõustuma sünkroniseerimise kuupäeval, et tagada sujuv ja tõhus

sagedusjuhtimine, samas kui Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonala riiklike reguleerivate asutuste

formaalne heakskiitmine on hilinenud, kuna viimane asjaomane reguleeriv asutus sai

metoodika muudatust käsitleva ettepaneku alles pärast sünkroniseerimise kuupäeva.

Kokkuvõte

Konkurentsiamet töötas läbi 25.02.2025 Eleringi poolt ametile kooskõlastamiseks esitatud

Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonala põhivõrguettevõtjate ühise metoodika muutmist käsitleva

ettepaneku LFC plokkide määratlemise kohta Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonala jaoks kooskõlas

SOGLi määruse artikli 141 lõikega 2. Metoodika arvestab kehtivast seadusandlusest tulenevate

alusetega ning ei ole vastuolus SOGList tuleneva regulatsiooniga.

SOGLi artikli 8 lõike 1 alusel SOGLi määruse kohaste tingimuste või meetodite väljatöötamise

eest vastutavad põhivõrguettevõtjad avaldavad need tingimused ja meetodid internetis pärast

koostööametilt või pädevatelt reguleerivatelt asutustelt saadud heakskiitu, või kui heakskiitu ei

ole vaja, siis pärast nende tingimuste või meetodite väljatöötamist, välja arvatud juhul, kui

selline teave on artikli 12 kohaselt konfidentsiaalne.

Arvestades eeltoodut ja tuginedes SOGLi artikli 6 lõike 3 punktile g)

otsustan:

kooskõlastada Mandri-Euroopa sünkroonala põhivõrguettevõtjate ühise metoodika muutmist

käsitleva ettepaneku koormuse-sageduse juhtimisplokkide määratlemise kohta Mandri-

Euroopa sünkroonala jaoks kooskõlas Komisjoni määruse (EL) 2017/1485 artikli 141 lõikega
