Actual information and data on the functioning of the Baltic coordinated balancing area and Baltic balancing market since January 1, 2018, are available on the Baltic coordinated balancing area website: https://baltic.transparency-dashboard.eu/. Requests for historical data up to 2018 should be submitted by email to [email protected].
According to the Public Utilities Commission decision No. 1/4 of June 26, 2013, “Network Code in the Electricity Sector,” point 135.3, when calculating the balancing reserves maintenance price for the settlement periods from July 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, the transmission system operator shall apply the same balancing power reserves maintenance price attributable to the amount of electricity consumed in the imbalance area of the balance responsible party and the balancing reserves maintenance price attributable to the absolute total imbalance of the BRP, which the transmission system operator shall publish on its website no later than February 1, 2025, after prior coordination with the Regulator.
During the period from July 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, AS “Augstsprieguma tīkls” will apply the following balancing reserves maintenance prices (the information on the previous month's prices will be published immediately after it is compiled, but no later than the 15th day of each month):
| Period | Balancing capacity maintenance costs, EUR | Balancing capacity maintenance price attributable to the amount of electricity consumed in the imbalance area of the BRP, EUR/MWh | Balancing capacity maintenance price attributable to the amount of absolute total imbalance of the BRP, EUR/MWh | |||

Forecast - The calculation of balancing capacity maintenance costs performed prior to the settlement period, using statistical methods, historical data, and current market information. The forecasted costs serve as the basis for determining the applicable price for BRP in the respective settlement period.
Adjustment - In accordance with Network Code point 90.42, the adjustment reflects the accumulated or unrecovered balancing capacity maintenance costs from previous settlement periods.
The total balancing capacity maintenance costs for the settlement period consist of the forecasted costs and the adjustment amount.
Applicable price - The balancing capacity maintenance price calculated based on forecasted costs, as well as forecasted consumption and imbalance volumes. This price is determined before the start of the settlement period and included in the settlement statement, specifying the amount payable by BRP for the respective period.
Actual price - The balancing capacity maintenance price calculated after the end of the settlement period, when actual costs, consumption, and imbalance volumes are known. This price is not used for settlements with BRP but is utilized in determining the the applicable price.
Methodology for Forecasting the Balancing Capacity Maintenance Price:
- Methodology for Forecasting the Balancing Capacity Maintenance Price (LV) (effective from 25.10.2025.);
- Methodology for Forecasting the Balancing Capacity Maintenance Price (LV) (effective from 27.01.2026.).
