Technical Trade Operator service

The function of a Technical Trade Operator (OHT) is disposition of Scheduling Units of Balancing Market Participants (URB), meaning transmission of information about concluded Sale/purchase of Electrical Energy Agreements (ZUSE, ZUSEB), Cross – border Trade Schedules (ZGWM, ZGWMB), /Notification of Balancing Offer – Trade (ZOBH), as well as data from Physical Measurement Points (DGPP) or Measurement data for Energy Intake Points (DPDSR) to the Transmission System Operator via a specialised system WIRE/ZOHEE.

Entity Responsible for Trade Balancing

The function of an Entity Responsible for Trade Balancing (POBH) is transmitting for realisation Sale/purchase of Electrical Energy Agreements onto scheduling units of Market Participant performing the role of POBH, and settling imbalances, that is differences in effective consumption or production of electrical energy and trade schedules sent to TSO. An entity, who has a signed agreement with a POBH does not need an agreement with the Transmission System Operator to actively participate in the electrical energy market.

Cooperation is based upon a standard agreement, which describes all relations between URB and OH.

The agreement regulates among others, estimated trade volume of electrical energy, imbalance level and financial collaterals.
