Joint statement on Clarification on aggregation and Compliance Scheme in Network Code Requirements for Generators (NC RfG)
Two unclear provisions in the NC RfG: 1) Aggregation of multiple technologies behind single connection points, and 2) compliance scheme for national implementation of the network code can significantly hinder renewable energy investments and consolidation of EU internal energy market.
WindEurope, EUGINE, Cogen Europe, Europgen, EUTurbines, SolarPowerEurope and VAZ e.V. call on the ACER and the European Commission to:
- Modify recital 11 with two main objectives: clarify the issue with synchronous technology regarding units and modules; and clarify the ambiguity for the aggregation rules of non-synchronously connected power generating units into a PPM or ESM.
- Impose a clear timeline and responsibility to propose a compliance scheme as well as opening certification schemes and requirements as a door opener for enhanced compliance in the European power system.
