Incentive component 2017

The incentive component is the component of the imbalance price that is intended to encourage market parties to actually keep to bids of regulating and reserve capacity used by TenneT to maintain and restore the balance, and as an incentive to minimise the imbalance to be settled.

The System Code contains stipulations about the incentive component.

The objective factors based on which TenneT will adjust the height of the incentive component have been laid down in the report on the imbalance pricing system as at 1 January 2001, which was revised on 26 October 2005. You can download this document as a PDF-file at the bottom of this webpage (only available in Dutch).

The System Code stipulates that the height of the incentive component must be published.
