Exchange of FCR between synchronous areas
Article 173
1. All TSOs of a synchronous area involved in a frequency coupling process shall have the right to use the FCR exchange process to exchange FCR between synchronous areas. 2. All TSOs of synchronous areas involved in the exchange of FCR between synchronous areas shall organise that exchange so that the TSOs of one synchronous area receive from another synchronous area a share of the total reserve capacity on FCR required for their synchronous area pursuant to Article 153. 3. The share of the total reserve capacity on FCR required for synchronous area where it is exchanged shall be provided in the second synchronous area in addition to the total reserve capacity on FCR required for that second synchronous area in accordance with Article 153. 4. All TSOs of the synchronous area shall specify in the synchronous area operational agreement the limits for FCR exchange. 5. All TSOs of the involved synchronous areas shall develop an FCR exchange agreement whereby they specify conditions for the exchange of FCR.
