Swedish Interconnectors COMP Case No 39351
Monitoring Report No 9
Introduction This report is submitted to comply with section 5 (Monitoring provisions) of Svenska Kraftnät's Commitments (26 January 2010) under Artide 9 of Council Regulation No. 1/2003 in connection with the European Commission investigation in Case COMP/39351 - Swedish Interconnectors. The Commitments were adopted and made binding by decision of the Commission on 14 April 2010.
The report is prepared in good faith and aims at providing any information the Commission may need in order to judge whether Svenska Kraftnät is proceeding in accordance with the Commitments. Additional information can be provided to the Commission upon request.
In accordance with what was stated in last (eight) monitoring report and the report requested additional information (11 July 2012) this ninth monitoring report has been submitted before 15 February 2013. Since the report as was sent to the Commission on 11 July 2012 covered the period 1 January to 30 June 2012 this report covers only the period 1 July to 31 December 2012.
In order to have sufficient time for proper assessments (in line with what is stated in the Commitment) and internal processes the next (tenth) monitoring report will be submitted by 14 February 2014 at latest, covering the whole year of 2013.
Svenska Kraftnät confirms that the report does not contain any confidential information and maybe freely distributed to third parties.

1 Capacities and prices after introduction of bidding zones
As committed, Svenska Kraftnät has subdivided the Swedish part of the Nordic electricity market into several
bidding zones and the Swedish Transmission System is operated on this basis since November 1, 2011. Con-
gestion in the Swedish Transmission System, with exception of Congestion in the West Coast Corridor, is gen-
erally managed without limiting Trading Capacity on Interconnectors. This can be seen in subsequent chap-
ters, and is particularly evident in Table 3 and Table 9.
1.1 Q3 2012 This section describes operational experience and measures regarding allocation of trading capacity in the
period 1 July to 30 September, 2012.
In the period, totally 2 208 hours, the main direction of the power flow was southbound.
Table 1 below shows the average prices in Sweden and all neighbouring areas for the above mentioned period
(excluding Germany and Poland). Table 2 summarises the number of hours where price differences occurred
between the respective zones.

Summary of table 1 and 2:
DK2 had the highest average price, followed by DK1, FI, SE4, SE3, SE2, SE1, NO3, NO4 and NO1 re-spectively
SE1 and SE2 had a common price during all hours
The main direction of power flow has been southbound in Sweden, while it has been import from Norway and exports via the remaining interconnectors.
1.1.1 Allocation of trading capacity
Table 3 below summarises how often Svenska Kraftnät have allocated less trading capacity than maximum
NTC for interconnectors and corridors between internal areas in the period.

Table 3. Limitations in trading capacity on interconnectors and corridors between internal
areas as enforced by Svenska Kraftnät. The columns with average reductions shows the aver-
age NTC divided by maximum NTC.
The majority of the limitations of export capacity on the interconnector SE1-FI, enforced by Svenska Kraftnät
during the period, are because of that the NTC depends on forecasted transfer between Kalix - Ossauskoski
and Ivalo - Varangerbotn. The forecasted transfer can both increase and decrease the NTC (which also ex-
plains the negative average reduction for SE1-FI in table 4).
Table 4 below summarises the time during which neighbouring TSOs have allocated less trading capacity than
maximum NTC to interconnectors in the period.

Appendix A – Q3 2012
The attached spreadsheet contains data for each hour during the period. Each value in the spreadsheet is ex-
plained in the table below.
Value Explanation
Maximum NTC export/southbound (MW)
Maximum NTC import/northbound (MW)
Maximum NTC for export/import, as
agreed by TSOs on both sides, and max-
imum NTC for corridors between inter-
nal areas in south/north direction.
These values normally only change after
the network has been reinforced.
SvK NTC export (MW)
SvK NTC import (MW)
Svenska Kraftnät’s view of NTC for ex-
port/import.
SvK Reduction export (Y/N)
SvK Reduction import (Y/N)
Yes (Y), if Svenska Kraftnät’s view of
NTC for export/import is lower than
maximum NTC, otherwise No (N).
SvK Reduction export (MW)
SvK Reduction import (MW)
Difference between maximum NTC and
Svenska Kraftnät’s view of NTC.
SvK Reason for export reduction
SvK Reason for import reduction
Reason codes for Svenska Kraftnät’s
reduction of capacities. Reduction codes
are according Nord Pool Spot’s instruc-
tions only reported when the reduction is
greater than 100 MW. Because of this
principle, there might be mismatches
between the figures shown in table 3 and
5 and tables A2 to A5. See separate sheet
in spreadsheet file for explanation of the
codes.
Neighbouring TSO NTC export (MW)
Neighbouring TSO NTC import (MW)
Neighbouring TSO’s view of NTC for
export/import.
Final NTC export/southbound (MW)
Final NTC import/northbound (MW)
Final NTC for corridors between internal
areas in south/north direction, and the
minimum of Svenska Kraftnät’s view and
the neighbouring TSO’s view of the ex-
port/import NTC on interconnectors.
22/32
Final Reduction export/southbound (Y/N)
Final Reduction import/northbound (Y/N)
Yes (Y), if the final NTC is lower than the
maximum NTC, otherwise No (N).
Final Reduction export/southbound (MW)
Final Reduction import/northbound (MW)
Difference between maximum NTC and
final NTC.
Final Reason for export/southbound reduction
Final Reason for import/northbound reduction
Reason codes for reduction of the final
capacities. Reduction codes are accord-
ing Nord Pool Spot’s instructions only
reported when the reduction is greater
than 100 MW. Because of this principle,
there might be mismatches between the
figures shown in table 3 and 5 and tables
A2 to A5. See separate sheet in spread-
sheet file for explanation of the codes.
Registered physical flow (positive for imports and
negative for exports/positive for southbound and nega-
tive for northbound)
Measured flow on interconnectors and
corridors between internal areas.
Electricity price level
SE1/SE2/SE3/SE4/DK1/DK2/NO1/NO3/NO4/FI
(EUR)
Price level in SE1, SE2, SE3, SE4, DK1,
DK2, NO1, NO3, NO4 and FI. Prices for
DE and PL are not available, since they
are not part of Nord Pool Spot. Red fig-
ures indicate a higher price than neigh-
bouring SE-area, and blue indicates a
lower price.
Price difference (Y/N) Yes (Y), if there is a price difference be-
tween neighbouring SE-area and current
area, otherwise No (N). Blank for DE and
PL.
Table A1. Explanation of data in the attached spreadsheet.
Tables A2 to A5 shows how of many hours the capacities have been reduced per type of reduction for each
interconnector and corridor between internal areas. The reason codes are explained in the attached spread-
sheet.
