Chapter 2. Procedure for functioning of the balancing market of electrical energy

Paragraph 1. General provisions

3. The balancing market of electrical energy functions for the purpose of ensuring physical and financial settlement of imbalances in EEC of RK, stimulation of subjects of the balancing market of electrical energy to participate in settlement of imbalances in EEC of RK, and also ensuring address distribution of payment for imbalances in EEC of RK.

4. Participants of the balancing market of electrical energy are subjects of the balancing market of electrical energy and settlement center of the balancing market.

5. In the balancing market of electrical energy two goods are bought and on sale: the balancing electric power and negative imbalances.

6. Transactions on purchase and sale of the balancing electric power and negative imbalances in the balancing market of electrical energy are performed between settlement center of the balancing market and subjects of the balancing market of electrical energy.

7. The settlement center of the balancing market performs offsets according to obligations on purchase (sale) of the balancing electric power and negative imbalances in the balancing market between subjects of the balancing market of electrical energy within the agreement of accession, according to appendix 2 to these rules.

8. Subjects of the balancing market of electrical energy shall sign with settlement center of the balancing market agreements on purchase and sale of the balancing electric power and negative imbalances, and also the agreement of accession.

9. Purchase and sale of the balancing electric power and negative imbalances in the balancing market of electrical energy is performed within the purchase and sale agreement of the balancing electric power and negative imbalances concluded in standard form according to appendix 1 to these rules.

10. Each subject of the balancing market of electrical energy and provider of balance sign the purchase and sale agreement of the balancing electric power and negative imbalances, and also the agreement of accession.

11. As objects of generation consumption in these rules is accepted:

1) for the subject of the balancing market of electrical energy which does not have the license for purchase of electrical energy for the purpose of power supply, - the objects of generation consumption which are part (belonging) to this subject of the balancing market of electrical energy;

2) for the subject of the balancing market of electrical energy having the license for purchase of electrical energy for the purpose of power supply, - the objects of generation consumption which are part (belonging) the subject of the retail market of electrical energy which electric utility service is performed due to purchase of the electric power from this subject of the balancing market of electrical energy.

Paragraph 2. Physical settlement of imbalances of the electric power in EEC of RK

12. In EEC of RK physical settlement of imbalances of the electric power is performed by the system operator.

13. In EEC of RK physical settlement of imbalances of the electric power is performed separately in each zone of balancing.

14. In balancing zone the resulting balancing zone imbalances are subject to physical settlement.

15. Physical settlement of the resulting imbalances of zone of balancing is performed separately in each hour of operational days.

When implementing this settlement the system operator within the corresponding hour of operational days takes the measures directed to minimization of value of the resulting imbalance of zone of balancing which is expected following the results of this hour in case of rejection of measures for settlement (further – measures for minimization).

16. Value of the resulting imbalance of zone of balancing which is expected following the results of hour of operational days in case of rejection of measures for settlement is determined by the system operator within this hour (before its expiration 30 (thirtieth) minutes) by means of assessment of this value which is carried out taking into account the analysis of the actual values of resulting balancing zone imbalance in similar hours of last three days.

17. The measures for minimization taken by the system operator within hour of operational days in balancing zone consist in activation by the system operator within this hour of applications for participation in balancing on increase or the applications for participation in balancing on lowering submitted it in the same zone of balancing by subjects of the balancing market of electrical energy, and also its interaction with power supply systems of neighboring states directed to settlement of variations of overflows on borders with these power supply systems.
