2.1.3 Analysis

The 15 countries of cluster 2015 and cluster 2016 (except Portugal), Poland High-Methane gas balancing area and Lithuania are relying mainly or almost exclusively on title products bought or sold on trading platform(s). 10 coun- tries are even using only WD title products (at more than 98%). Germany will remove its balancing platforms made for purchasing and selling locational products by 1 January 2018. Germany also stated that Balancing services are contracted for emergency situations and are

only used when no corresponding short-term offers are available. NCG is often using temporal locational products and NL is mainly using temporal products. This is due to the Within Day Obligations in place. Slovenia, Czech Republic, Germany and Spain balance their system also via Day Ahead title products in addition to Within Day ones.

1) No TSO balancing actions have been taken on the PL-L and PL-T balancing zones.
