During the meeting, the producers of energy from renewable sources described the seriousness of the problems faced by the respective sector, presented proposals for their solution and the willingness to get involved in the process of improving the conditions, to make the activity possible further.
Directly, domestic producers talked about identifying a fair and appropriate mechanism for calculating and paying imbalances.
Following the discussions, it was decided to carry out a simulation of the calculation model presented by the manufacturers, based on real data on November 24. If the results would cover the costs recorded by the transmission system operator and reduce the financial burden of the imbalances recorded by all participants in the wholesale electricity market in the Republic of Moldova, the way of calculating the imbalances could be proposed to the Commission for Exceptional situations for examination.
