RTE launched a call for tenders for carbon-free flexibilities covering the 2025-S1 and 2026 delivery windows, per an assets.rte-france.com notice. The French TSO has been expanding its procurement of clean flexible capacity as dispatchable thermal reserves face tighter emissions constraints. No MW targets or price ceilings were specified in the published notice.
In the Nordic zone, Energinet flagged a change to the login solution for Nordic MMS users accessing the aFRR and mFRR capacity markets. The platform update affects participants submitting bids into the Nordic balancing capacity auctions. Energinet provided no timeline for the cutover beyond the notification itself.
Taken together, the two items reflect continued TSO investment in balancing market infrastructure: France on the supply side via clean-asset procurement, and Denmark on the platform side for cross-border reserve capacity access. Both developments are procedural rather than market-moving on their own, but participants active in either zone should verify compliance with the updated requirements.
