Level Playing Field. Balancing responsibilities It appears to be a common understanding that full balancing responsibility for all market participants is an important prerequisite for a well-functioning electricity and thus balancing market, with equal access for all players and a level playing field for all market players. There is wide agreement that the Balance Responsible Parties (BRPs) play an essential role, and that balancing responsibility for all market participants is an important condition for system balancing, for security of supply and efficient market functioning.

In general, priority dispatch for any technology should be set according to market maturity and liberalisation levels in the Member State concerned, but it should also take due account of progress in grid developments and should apply the best practices in system operation. A phase out of priority dispatch for RES could only be conceived if the following cumulative conditions are fulfilled: • Priority dispatch is removed for conventional generation and all other forms of non- renewables generation • Existence of functioning intraday and balancing market • Renewables generators should have full access to balancing markets • A satisfactory level of market transparency and clear compensation rules for curtailment Subsidies to conventional technologies While today’s discussion is centred on the support for renew...
