Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1485 Article 103

Real-time execution of the availability plans

Article 103

1.   Each power generating facility owner shall ensure that all relevant power generating modules it owns and which are declared ‘available’ are ready to produce electricity pursuant to their declared technical capabilities when necessary to maintain operational security, except in case of forced outages. 2.   Each power generating facility owner shall ensure that all relevant power generating modules it owns and which are declared ‘unavailable’ do not produce electricity. 3.   Each demand facility owner shall ensure that all relevant demand facilities it owns and which are declared ‘unavailable’ do not consume electricity. 4.   Each relevant grid element owner shall ensure that all relevant grid elements it owns and which are declared ‘available’ are ready to transport electricity pursuant to their declared technical capabilities when necessary to maintain operational security, except in case of forced outages. 5.   Each relevant grid element owner shall ensure that all relevant grid elements it owns and which are declared ‘unavailable’ do not transport electricity. 6.   Where specific grid-related conditions apply for the execution of the ‘unavailable’ or ‘testing’ status of a relevant grid element in accordance with Article 96(6), the TSO, DSO or CDSO concerned shall assess the fulfilment of those conditions before the execution of that status. If those conditions are not fulfilled, it shall instruct the relevant grid element owner to not execute the ‘unavailable’ or ‘testing’ status or a part thereof. 7.   Where a TSO identifies that executing an ‘unavailable’ or ‘testing’ status of a relevant asset leads or could lead the transmission system out of normal state, it shall instruct the owner of the relevant asset when it is connected to the transmission system, or the DSO or CDSO if connected to a distribution system or to a closed distribution system, to delay the execution of that ‘unavailable’ or ‘testing’ status of that relevant asset according to its instructions and to the extent possible, while respecting the technical and safety limits.
