• An agreement on balancing services for the hospital trusts in Norway

  An agreement on balancing services is an addition to the Framework agreement for "El-kraft - Fysisk levering og porteføljeforvaltning" between the regional health authorities and Entelios AS. The framework agreement will be valid from 01.08.23 to 31.07.26, and can be extended for a further 1 year. The agreement on balancing services will hereafter be referred to as the "Additional Agreement". Each hospital trust will decide whether they use the additional agreement. Hospital trusts own regulation units, which are units for production, consumption or energy storage of electrical power and that can be regulated up or down. The intention of the additional agreement is for hospital trusts, with their regulation units, to participate in Statnett's balancing markets. This will give the hospital unites income. It is a prerequisite that an agreement on balancing services with a balance service responsible party (BRP) and/or a balancing service provider (BSP). For fast frequency reserves (FFR), Statnett requires the BSP to document that BRP agrees that the resource is offered in the FFR market. For frequency containment reserves (FCR), the supplier must be certified by Statnett and be BRP. For secondary and tertiary frequency restoration reserves, suppliers must have a contract with Statnett as "Balancing Service Provider (BSP)". In addition a BSP must have a contract with both the power supplier and BRP. For tertiary reserves, Statnett requires that it is the same BRP for all of the regulation units in a regulation object (RO). In order to participate in the balance markets, hospital trusts must also have a contract with a supplier who has: Sales concession from the Energy Regulation Authority (RME) (all markets), imbalance settlement agreement against eSett (all markets), registration in the ediel portal (all markets), and FiftyWeb users (the markets FCR and FRR). Entelios is, in accordance with the framework agreement power supplier and balance responsible party (BRP) for the hospital trusts. A balancing service provider (BSP) for the hospital trusts must have an agreement with the hospital trusts ́ power supplier and BRP. Entelios is a power supplier, BRP and BSP, but does not have contracts with other BSP's. On this basis, a contract for balancing services with Entelios will be signed and so that the hospital trust regulation units can participate in Statnett's balance markets.
