Partial decoupling of SDAC markets on13.1.2021 - In-depth investigation initiated

The Day-ahead Joint Steering Committee (JSC) initiated an in-depth investigation of the partial decoupling on the 13th of January

During the market coupling process on 13th January a technical issue was experienced that led to a partial decoupling of Italy, and consequently Greece, Slovenia, and Croatia from SDAC (Multi Regional Coupling [MRC]). Whereas Slovenia remained coupled with Italy, the Croatian and Greek day-ahead market prices were calculated in isolation. The following interconnectors were decoupled from SDAC: IT-AT, IT-FR, IT-GR, AT-SI, SI-HR.
