Fingrid investigates unusual activation in the aFRR energy market

Share

Since 15 November, exceptionally little aFRR energy has been activated in the aFRR energy market compared to the usual level. According to a preliminary investigation, no aFRR control signal for Nordic frequency restoration has been allocated to Fingrid, resulting in a lower than normal need for aFRR activation in Finland.

Fingrid will provide updates on the progress of the investigation and the resolution of the fault situation.

The automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve (aFRR) energy market is a real-time market from which Fingrid procures aFRR reserve to balance the power system. In the market, the price of aFRR energy is determined for each 4-second market period based on the real-time activation signal and aFRR energy market bids. Fingrid has joined the European aFRR energy market platform (PICASSO).
