On Wednesday 13 March, the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) published the first monitoring report on the reporting obligations of the Regional Coordination Centres (RCCs), set up in 2022 to strengthen coordination among electricity Transmission System Operators (TSOs) in the various regions.
The report, which covers the second half of 2022, reveals that the majority of CCRs have reported on 7 of the 16 mandatory tasks, focusing on areas such as coordinated capacity calculation, outage planning coordination and post-disturbance analysis.
The CCRs did not report on tasks that are under development or that have no established methodology, which led to a reporting gap on 5 tasks.
ACER recommends better defining the key performance indicators used in the reports to ensure transparency and consistent monitoring, as well as better defining the monitoring process and the terminology used for different tasks implementation stages.
The next ACER report, scheduled for 2025, will cover the 2023 reporting period.
