The Workshop will discuss which form of volume coupling is best suited for governing day-ahead trading on the borders between Great Britain and the EU/Northern Ireland.

The Workshop will first discuss which form of volume coupling is best suited for governing day-ahead trading on the borders between Great Britain and the EU/Northern Ireland, taking the limitations imposed by Brexit on the possible governance arrangements. In the second part we will turn to how disputes between operators/owners of interconnectors, disputes between regulators at different ‘ends’ of the interconnectors, and disputes between the parties to the TCA might be settled in the future. The TCA provides that exemptions from requirements for third-party access, unbundling and the use of revenues already granted to gas and electricity interconnectors will continue in accordance with the same terms.

To explore these issues, the Workshop will be structured in two sessions:

  • Session I will focus on the possible future framework for day-ahead electricity trading between Great Britain and the EU/Northern Ireland, aiming at maximising benefits for consumers in the EU and the United Kingdom, while respecting the limitations imposed by Brexit on the governance arrangements;

  • Session II will focus on dispute resolution. Will European law still apply to the continental end of the interconnector. Or do we have to develop a new framework? After all, EU law defines an interconnector’ as a ‘transmission line which crosses or spans a border between Member States and which connects the national transmission systems of the Member States’, but what about interconnectors that do not connect Member States – but third countries, such as the UK. Can we learn from experience with the EEA?
