Delayed Launch of aFRR Energy Market and Integration with PICASSO
Due to technical reasons, the launch of the automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve (aFRR) energy market in Estonia and the integration with the pan-European aFRR market (PICASSO), initially planned for early January 2025, has been postponed.
The delay in joining the PICASSO market affects all Baltic countries and is caused by technical issues beyond the control of the system operators. Similarly, the postponement of the aFRR energy market launch impacts Estonia and Latvia. At this time, the exact date for the aFRR energy market launch in Estonia is unknown, nor is it clear whether it will coincide with the integration into the PICASSO market.
The aFRR energy market in Estonia will be opened no later than the synchronization with the Continental European frequency area. Once a specific date is determined, market participants will be informed at the earliest opportunity.
