Maintaining of peak load reserve in 2009
By virtue of the decision of the Finnish Energy Market Authority, electricity consumption in Finland is used for financing the system for maintaining the peak load reserve during the remaining period of the relevant Finnish act, i.e. 1 January 2009 to 28 February 2011.
Peak load reserve fees in 2009:
1 January - 31 March 2009: 0.15 €/MWh
1 April - 31 October 2009: 0.18 €/MWh
1 November - 31 December 2009: 0.19 €/MWh
In December, peak load reserve bids were activated in one hour in the Elspot market in Finland and Sweden. On 17 December 2009 between 18 and 19 pm, 16.5 MW were activated in Finland and 40.5 MW were activated in Sweden. The full peak load reserve capacity was started in Sweden, but no peak load reserve plants were started in Finland on that day.
