Date: 17 May 2024

Core project parties are pleased to confirm 28 May 2024 as the go-live date of IDCC(b) for trades on business day 29 May 2024.

The earlier mentioned uncertainties about central tooling and the interface with the XBID platform have been tested successfully, leading to a stable go-live configuration.

Final operational communication on the go-live of IDCC(b) can be expected on the morning of 28 May 2024.

Market integration - Core to energy transition

The energy transition towards a carbon free electricity supply is a European challenge that requires the use of the European electricity system to the full extent. Weather-dependent supply and increasing demand response will lead to a different and more intense use of the grid. The Core market integration project is aiming to create operational preconditions to optimise the use of the system from a regional perspective and make the single European market a reality.
