Bulgaria power operator to organise electricity export auctions
Published August 15th, 2007
The Electricity System Operator (ESO), a subsidiary of national power grid operator NEK, has announced it will organise electricity export auctions under guidelines provided by the State Energy and Water Regulatory Commission.
The news should delight the 24 or so local companies licensed to operate as power traders as they have been claiming that the absence of interconnection capacity access rules is hindering the deregulation of the sector.
ESO will be responsible for conducting the yearly, monthly, weekly and daily auctions for the allocation and assignment of 50% of the Commercial Transmission Rights (CTRs) for electricity transfers from Bulgaria to a neighboring country and from a neighboring country to Bulgaria.
All relevant information is made available on the ESO auction website.
