As of today, relations in Russia regarding the purchase and sale of electricity can be divided into two main parts:

purchase and sale on the wholesale electricity market (wholesale electricity and capacity market);

purchase and sale of electricity on the retail electricity market;

The basics of the retail electricity market were discussed in other articles on the site, so in this article we will dwell in more detail on the concept of the wholesale electricity market and WECM capacity.

So, what is the wholesale electricity and capacity market, what rules of the wholesale electricity market exist, as well as which subjects of the wholesale electricity and capacity market have the right to work on it and this will be discussed in this article.
In the wholesale market, sellers and buyers can be:

generating companies of the wholesale electricity market;
electricity export/import operators;
energy sales companies and suppliers of last resort;
grid companies (territorial grid companies and JSC FGC UES) - regarding the purchase of losses;
large consumers.

The above-mentioned subjects of the wholesale electricity and capacity market of the Wholesale Electricity and Capacity Market can be both sellers in the wholesale electricity and capacity market and buyers. In order to obtain the status of the wholesale electricity and capacity market and the right to trade on it, an organization wishing to become a participant in the wholesale electricity and capacity market must meet the requirements set out in the “Rules of the Wholesale Electricity Market”, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 27, 2010 No. 1172, as well as in the Agreement on Accession to the Wholesale Market Trading System (it can be downloaded on the website of the NP “Market Council”).

In Russia, the wholesale electricity and capacity market currently operates only in price zones. The price zone is a part of the territory of the Russian Federation where competition is possible between participants in the wholesale electricity and capacity market. There are two price zones:

first price zone (territory of the European part of Russia and the Urals);

second price zone (Siberia).

In addition, there are so-called non-price zones (regions of the Far East, Arkhangelsk region, Kaliningrad region and the Komi Republic). In these territories, competition is still impossible for various technical reasons. In non-price zones, electricity is sold on the retail electricity and power market at regulated prices. The price and non-price zones of the wholesale electricity market are discussed in more detail below.

Basic principles of operation of the wholesale electricity and capacity market

As the name suggests, the wholesale electricity and power market involves trading of two goods - electricity and power.
Power is a special product, upon the purchase of which the buyer has the right to demand that the generating companies of the wholesale market maintain equipment intended for generating electricity in constant readiness.

In its present form, the wholesale electricity and capacity market has been operating since 2006.

Electricity market

There are several market sectors operating in the wholesale electricity and capacity market:

regulated contracts sector;
day-ahead market;
free contracts sector;
balancing market.

Under regulated contracts in the sector of regulated contracts, electricity tariffs are determined by the FTS of the Russian Federation. At the same time, electricity is purchased in this sector only for supply to the population, as well as to consumers in the area of operation of IDGC of the North Caucasus.

Volumes of electricity that are not purchased under regulated contracts are purchased at unregulated prices within the framework of free contracts, the day-ahead market (DAM) and the balancing market (BM).

The main meaning of free contracts is that participants in the wholesale electricity and capacity market independently determine with whom they will enter into contracts, as well as the prices and volumes of electricity supply.

The day-ahead market (DAM) of the wholesale electricity and capacity market is a competitive selection of price bids from suppliers and buyers carried out by ATS OJSC a day before the actual supply of electricity with the determination of prices and supply volumes for each hour of the day. On the DAM, marginal pricing is carried out, i.e. the price is determined by balancing supply and demand and applies to all market participants. The DAM price is determined for each of about 8,000 nodes in both price zones.

Price indices and trading volumes on the DAM are published daily on the website of ATS OJSC.

To submit an application for the purchase of electricity on the day-ahead market, buyers of the wholesale market send these applications in accordance with the established deadlines to ATS OJSC. Thus, all large consumers who operate in the wholesale electricity and capacity market must submit applications with planned hourly electricity consumption to purchase electricity on the market one day in advance.
To eliminate the risk of price manipulation on the day-ahead market, applications for the purchase of electricity with the lowest price must be satisfied first.

However, actual electricity consumption always differs from planned electricity consumption. In this regard, a consumer who has submitted an application to purchase electricity on the day-ahead market will either have a shortage of electricity (if the fact is greater than the plan) or an excess of electricity purchased on the day-ahead market (the plan is greater than the actual). Because of this, these deviations are traded in real time in the balancing market. It is worth noting that the purchase price of electricity on the balancing market is significantly higher than the purchase price on the day-ahead market, and the selling price is significantly lower. Those. It is necessary to plan your hourly consumption in such a way as to achieve a minimum deviation of the actual from the plan, because a significant deviation will result in a significant increase in energy costs. At the same time, for every 3 hours up to the hour of actual delivery, the system operator (SO UES OJSC) conducts additional competitive selections of suppliers' applications, taking into account forecast consumption in the power system, economic efficiency of loading stations and system reliability requirements.

In addition, deviations of actual consumption from planned ones are qualified by one’s own or external initiatives. Own initiative arises due to the actions of a market participant (consumer or supplier), external initiative - as a result of commands from the System Operator or an accident that led to a forced change in the mode of production or consumption of electricity. To determine the cost of deviations for various types of initiatives, calculation formulas (cuts) are used, calculated for each hour of the day for each node of the calculation model. Cut-offs are defined as the maximum (minimum) values of the BR indicator and the DAM price, thereby stimulating more accurate execution of planned electricity consumption and production. Based on the cost of deviations, the preliminary requirements and preliminary obligations of the BR are determined, the difference between which forms the imbalance of the balancing market. Negative imbalance is distributed among participants in proportion to their own initiatives. The positive imbalance is distributed between suppliers, in proportion to the amount of execution of external initiatives, and consumers, who adhere to planned consumption as closely as possible. Thus, in BR, market participants who allow the largest deviations of actual consumption and output from planned ones on their own initiative are “fined”, and participants who adhere to planned consumption and carry out the commands of the System Operator as accurately as possible are “bonded”.

Power Market

Since June 1, 2008, capacity trading has been carried out on the basis of competitive capacity selection (CPO) conducted by the system operator. Wholesale market participants who have passed the procedure for admission to the COM have the opportunity to submit applications in an amount not exceeding the maximum available capacity taken into account by the Federal Tariff Service of Russia in the forecast balance for the corresponding regulatory period. Buyers are required to pay for all power taken from the KOM in their price zone. Suppliers in each price zone are jointly and severally responsible for fulfilling their obligations to provide capacity.
The transitional capacity market provided the opportunity to sell part of the capacity at unregulated prices, within the framework of electricity and capacity purchase and sale agreements (SPEA), including on the stock exchange, and the purchase and sale of capacity based on the results of competitive selection. Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 89 dated February 24, 2010 approved changes to the Wholesale Market Rules, ensuring the launch of the long-term capacity market (LCM) model. As in the area of electricity trade, since 2011, power has been supplied under regulated contracts only in the volumes necessary for supply to the population and equivalent categories of consumers.

The main differences between the DRM and the transitional capacity market:

Within the framework of the KOM, power is selected not for a year in advance, but for 4 years (starting from 2016), which guarantees payment of power to the supplier for the period of construction of new capacities;
Pricing is carried out within the framework of free flow zones (FZZ), rather than price zones, which makes it possible to generate local price signals for buyers and power suppliers;
As part of competitive selection, not all available capacity is selected and paid for, which contributes to increased competition among capacity suppliers.
The long-term capacity market includes capacity supply agreements to ensure financing of investments in new generation.

Price and non-price zones of the wholesale electricity market.

Price and non-price zones of the wholesale electricity market

On the territory of Russia it is customary to distinguish two price zones of the wholesale electricity and capacity market. On the map they are marked 1 and 2. In the price zones of the wholesale electricity and power market of the Wholesale Electric Energy and Power Market, electric energy and power can be supplied at unregulated (free) prices. Those. electricity prices on the wholesale market are formed taking into account competitive bids from sellers and buyers (subjects of the wholesale electricity market). Generating companies of the wholesale electricity and capacity market also sell generated electricity and capacity on the wholesale market at unregulated prices. The average value of the unregulated price per month for a participant in the wholesale electricity and capacity market is called the weighted average unregulated price for electrical energy. Guaranteed electricity suppliers are required to post free, unregulated electricity prices on their official website every month.

At the same time, not everywhere in Russia the price of electricity and capacity for consumers is formed using elements of competition: for example, in the territory marked on the map with the number 5, competition is in principle not possible. Such zones are called isolated zones of the wholesale electricity and capacity market.

Territories marked 3 and 4 are non-price zones of the wholesale electricity and capacity market.

In some territories that are shaded on the map there are Features of the operation of the wholesale and retail electricity and capacity markets.

CO is the main technological infrastructure that ensures the functioning and development of wholesale electricity and capacity markets.

Together with the Association NP Market Council and JSC ATS, it carries out a full range of work necessary for the functioning of market mechanisms and ensuring reliable operation of the energy system in accordance with the Rules of the wholesale electricity (capacity) market.

Electricity markets

Day Ahead Market

The day-ahead market (DAM) is a competitive selection of price bids from suppliers and buyers a day before the actual supply of electricity with the determination of prices and supply volumes for each hour of the coming day.

On the DAM price depends on the hour of the day, day of the week, period of the year. The main criterion by which electricity suppliers are selected for the next 24 hours is the competitiveness of price bids. This gives electricity suppliers a direct economic incentive to use all their technological capabilities to reduce costs.

Balancing market

All changes in consumption levels, network restrictions, and the condition of generating equipment cannot be predicted in advance with absolute accuracy. When controlling the operating mode of the power system in real time, it is necessary to compensate for emerging deviations from the mode planned a day ago. Calculation and delivery of generation schedules to control objects during the actual management of the UES in real time is implemented within the framework of the balancing market.

During the day, the System Operator repeatedly generates demand (consumption) forecasts and updates the calculation model taking into account changed system conditions. Based on this information, competitive selection of price bids from suppliers is carried out, ensuring the economic efficiency of station loading and reliability requirements.

Real-time control of modes is based on minimizing the cost of electricity supply, as well as measures that make unauthorized deviations from planned values unprofitable and stimulate the execution of CO commands to control the mode.

In the balancing market, when deviations of actual consumption or production from planned values occur, market participants are “fined” if the deviations are caused by their own initiative, or “bonded” if the deviations are a consequence of the execution of the System Operator’s command.

The main task of SO UES JSC in the wholesale electricity markets is to ensure compliance with the established parameters for the reliability of the UES of Russia and the quality of electrical energy - is carried out using economic methods using price signals:

day ahead market: differentiation of market prices depending on the hour of the day/day/period of the year gives the participant a direct economic interest in using all available technological capabilities to align the consumption schedule;
balancing market: Market participants are interested in the exact execution of the schedule set by SO UES JSC. Independent deviation from the given operating mode is paid to the participant at the least favorable price at a given hour. In addition, electricity suppliers are additionally interested in changing the generation schedule at the command of SO UES JSC - these deviations are qualified as an external initiative and are paid at the most favorable price at a given hour.

Main functions:

ensuring the functioning of the calculation system for choosing the composition of the included generating equipment for the week ahead;
formation of an updated calculation model for the Commercial Operator to carry out competitive selection in the day-ahead market;
ensuring the functioning of the balancing market - calculating and updating generation schedules during the actual management of the UPS in real time.

Power Market

Power is a special product, the purchase of which gives a wholesale market participant the right to require capacity sellers to maintain generating equipment in a state of readiness for generating electricity.

The capacity market makes it possible to avoid power shortages in the medium and long term, to create obligations among the owners of generating equipment to maintain capacities in a state of readiness for operation, and also to reimburse part of the semi-fixed costs during the operation of generating facilities. Due to the functioning of market mechanisms that take into account the return on invested capital, the investment attractiveness of the construction and operation of electric power facilities increases.

The main task of SO UES JSC in the capacity market is to ensure the functioning of economic mechanisms that stimulate the maintenance and development of generating capacities:

in the required volume;
with the required technological parameters;
within the required time frame;
taking into account the forecast for the development of network infrastructure.

The main function of SO UES JSC is to organize procedures for competitive selection of power in compliance with the conditions specified above.

The market for services to ensure system reliability (system services market) creates a source for financing specific costs of equipment owners that cannot be compensated within the electricity or capacity market. The main task of SO UES JSC in the system services market is to ensure the functioning of economic mechanisms that stimulate the maintenance and development of equipment with specific, optional for all entities, characteristics in the UES of Russia:

ability to participate in normalized primary frequency regulation;
ability to participate in automatic secondary frequency regulation at thermal power plants;
regulation of reactive power using generating equipment of power plants that is not involved in the production of active power;
operation of elements of emergency control systems in the Unified Energy System of Russia, created in order to increase the throughput in controlled sections of the electrical network.

SO UES JSC determines technical requirements, selects service providers and concludes long-term contracts for their payment.

Markets of non-price zones

In non-price zones, SO UES JSC carries out all business processes performed for the functioning of electricity and capacity markets in price zones, with the exception of procedures related to the competitive selection of price applications from suppliers, since Payment for supplies is carried out according to tariffs.
