We have worked closely with AST, Latvia’s independent transmission system operator, on several key projects that have improved transparency, efficiency, and system balancing capabilities.
- In 2021, AST, along with Elering and Litgrid, collaborated with us to develop the Baltic Transparency Dashboard. This platform consolidates critical power market data in a single location, simplifying information access for market participants.
- In 2025, AST, together with the Baltic TSOs, launched the Baltic Balancing Capacity Market (BBCM), with us playing a key role in its implementation together with our patner N-SIDE. BBCM allows the Baltic states to procure balancing reserves through daily day-ahead capacity auctions, ensuring system stability as the region transitions toward greater energy independence. The platform’s ability to manage cross-border balancing capacity as it optimises capacity requirement dimensioning and market clearing maximises social welfare, improves efficiency and aligns AST with European market standards.
