Romania and Poland are closer to linking their daily electricity markets with the markets of Slovakia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic after all involved countries signed a memorandum paving the way for Romania and Poland to join the project of connected electricity markets known as Market Coupling.
“Romania and Poland have decided to join the trilateral project in order to gain the benefits of integration and to contribute to the development of a single European internal electricity market,” informed the operator of the Slovak Electricity Transmission System SEPS. The project of Market Coupling is particularly advantageous for electricity market participants and via the project, electricity traders should no longer need to book and buy cross-border transmission capacity between countries.
