Priority dispatch and curtailment

Making the market fit for renewables requires additional efforts on curtailment rules and priority dispatch provision.

Current discussions on its removal and the possibility to apply retroactive changes undermine investors’ confidence, which could slow down the agreed energy transition. WindEurope explains the market design conditions necessary to provide a level playing field to wind generators and eventually reduce curtailments.
