    Core Advanced Hybrid Coupling Implemented

    Advanced Hybrid Coupling has been implemented for a subset of bidding zone borders between the Core Capacity Calculation Region (CCR) and the Baltic, Hansa, Nordic, and South East Europe (SEE) CCRs. This implementation takes place within the Single Day-Ahead Coupling (SDAC) framework and is effective since yesterday, trading day 10 June 2026, for delivery day today 11 June 2026.

    Scope of the technical implementation

    The Advanced Hybrid Coupling approach, first introduced in the Nordic CCR and now extended to the Core CCR, supports a more efficient integration of Core external borders. By enabling a more coordinated and harmonized use of cross-border capacity, it contributes to improving consistency in how exchanged electricity is managed across regions and throughout Europe.

    Ensuring stable operations

    In line with the agreed go-live process, project parties will closely monitor system performance in the coming days, continuing to support robust and reliable market operations.

    About SDAC

    SDAC allocates scarce cross-border transmission capacity in the most efficient way by coupling wholesale electricity markets from different regions through a common algorithm, simultaneously taking into account cross-border transmission constraints, thereby maximizing social welfare. The aim of SDAC is to create a single pan European cross zonal day-ahead electricity market. An integrated day-ahead market increases the overall efficiency of trading by promoting effective competition, increasing liquidity, and enabling a more efficient utilization of generation resources across Europe.
