Under the Electricity Market Law, TSCs and Market Rules, the transmission system operator have no other option to comply with operational security and to regulate system restrictions, except as a means of activating ancillary or balancing services.
According to the Law, such services, in terms of balancing energy system, are provided exclusively in the balancing market, so RES producers should become a party to the balancing market contract. Currently, RES manufacturers are neither ancillary service providers nor a balancing service provider.
Therefore, SEAU sent an appeal to the NPC “Ukrenergo” to find out the legal reasons for the shutdowns of the green generation producers, and also we want to mention the TSO-initiated unscheduled inspections of solar power plants based on non-execution of load reduction commands.
