It includes new rules on balancing markets that allow renewable energies and demand response to be more competitive, while allowing system operators a share of long-term procurement to ensure system stability.

Market rules on day-ahead, intraday and forward markets will contribute to increased flexibility and cross-border trade closer to real time, which facilitates the market participation of renewables. (...)
