Tenders for capacity markets 

1. Context and Challenges
The gradual phase-out of conventional and non-dispatchable power plant capacity is reducing secured capacity in the European electricity market. This raises questions about supply security and has led to the introduction of capacity mechanisms in several EU bidding zones. To ensure sufficient capacity and support the expansion of renewables, many countries, including Poland and Belgium now use competitive auctions to procure reserve capacity.

These auction systems vary significantly across countries in terms of design, complexity and regulatory framework. For potential bidders, thorough preparation is essential to seize opportunities and appropriately manage associated risks.
