The energy group EWE AG and the European Power Exchange EPEX SPOT have signed a cooperation agreement within the scope of the enera project in Essen today. As part of the project, both companies commit to reveal the local dimension of the European power market by launching a local market platform for flexibility sources together with the system operators Avacon Netz, EWE NETZ and TenneT. With this market platform the project partners aim to efficiently tackle the widespread issue of grid congestion. The market platform will be available to system operators and flexibility providers of the project consortium. The implementation in 2018 will be followed by a two year demonstration phase in 2019/2020 as proof of concept. The goal of the cooperation is to develop scalable solutions in a showcase region, in this case in the windy Northwest of Germany, which can then be implemented on a much larger scale.
