No application of WDOs

WDOs still under discussion by 1 October 2016

* In Estonia TSO does nor gain or lose by providing balancing actions, but no separate neutrality charge. ** The Danish NRA has approved that Energinet.dk does not have to implement the neutrality arrangements, based on 2 main parameters: 1) the balancing economy is close to being balanced and 2) the economy of Energinet.dk is a rest-in-itself economy, and is thereby neutral in itself. In Sweden it has been reported that the amounts gained or lost due to balancing actions are almost negligible. Map 9:  The countries using Within Day Obligations by 1 October 2016
