This project supported the development of regional electricity markets by strengthening market design and preparing the ground for cross-border integration. A key objective was the establishment of a regional day-ahead market coupling based on available transfer capacity (ATC), aligned with the SDAC model.

The engagement began with a comprehensive inception phase, including data collection, structured interviews, and a review of ongoing initiatives. An exhaustive roadmap of activities required for market coupling was developed, providing clarity on the steps and potential challenges ahead. A gap assessment followed, identifying critical areas for improvement and opportunities to enhance cooperation among system operators.

The final phase delivered a high-level implementation roadmap, outlining practical next steps such as training programs, IT system enhancements, agreement drafting, and targeted implementation measures. Through this structured approach, the project laid the foundation for stable, efficient, and future-ready regional electricity market integration.
