Chapter 1. General provisions
1. These Rules for determining the deficit and surplus of electric energy in the unified electric power system of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter - the Rules) have been developed in accordance with subparagraph 70-29) of Article 5 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Electric Power Industry” (hereinafter - the Law) and shall determine the procedure for determining the deficit and surplus of electric energy in the unified electric power system of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter - the UES of Kazakhstan).
2. The following basic concepts shall be used in these Rules:
1) a system of balancing market - a hardware and software complex designed for submitting purchase and sale applications by subjects of the wholesale electric energy market, forming a daily schedule of production and consumption of electric energy, determining the volume of centralized trading in electric energy for digital miners, determining the volume of centralized trading in electric energy for energy-producing organizations, making adjustments to the approved daily schedule agreed by the system operator, formation of the actual values of electric energy production and consumption of electric energy of subjects of the wholesale electric energy market, calculation of hourly imbalances of electric energy, calculation of hourly prices for the purchase and sale of electric energy in the wholesale electric energy market, as well as hourly prices for the purchase (sale) of balancing electricity and purchase (sale) of negative imbalances;
2) deficit of electric energy - the lack of technical capability of energy-producing organizations of the Republic of Kazakhstan (including the generating capacity of installations in reserve) to generate electric energy in volumes sufficient to fully satisfy the needs of the economy and population of the Republic of Kazakhstan for electric energy;
3) surplus of electric energy - the availability of technical capabilities among energy-producing organizations of the Republic of Kazakhstan (taking into account the generating capacities of installations in reserve) to generate electric energy in volumes exceeding the actual need of the economy and population of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Other concepts used in these Rules shall be applied in accordance with the Law.
Chapter 2. The procedure for determining the deficit and surplus of electric energy in the UES of Kazakhstan Paragraph 1. The procedure for determining the deficit and surplus of electric energy in the UES of Kazakhstan for the coming month
3. The system operator, by calculation based on paragraphs 4 and 5 of these Rules, shall determine for each hour the technical feasibility of providing all regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan with electric energy, taking into account the generating capacities of installations in reserve.
4. The predicted deficit and surplus of electric energy in the UES of Kazakhstan and its parts shall be determined by the system operator based on:
1) the approved schedules for repairs of generating equipment of energy-producing organizations of the Republic of Kazakhstan, taking into account the presence of technological limitations on the generation of electric energy at power plants;
2) the approved schedules for repairs of electrical grid facilities of the National Electric Grid;
3) the capacity of power transmission lines connecting energy-deficient regions with energy-rich generation nodes;
4) the lack of electric connections between individual parts of the UES of Kazakhstan;
5) planned hourly volumes of production and (or) consumption of electric energy by subjects of the wholesale electric energy market for the coming month;
6) applications for the purchase and sale of electric energy submitted by subjects of the wholesale electric energy market in the balancing market system when forming the daily schedule of production and consumption of electric energy.
The predicted deficit and surplus of electric energy in the UES of Kazakhstan and its parts shall be adjusted by the system operator based on the technical feasibility of electric networks under the conditions for ensuring reliable operation of the UES of Kazakhstan and its parts.
5. Subjects of the wholesale electric market, except for the operator of the centralized trade market and the single purchaser of electricity (hereinafter - Single purchaser), no later than the 20th day of each month preceding the planned month, through the balancing market system, shall provide the system operator with the planned hourly production volumes and (or) electricity consumption for the coming month.
If a subject of the wholesale electric market fails to provide information within the time limits established in part one of this paragraph, the planned hourly volumes of production and (or) consumption of electric energy for the coming month shall be calculated by the system operator based on statistical information on the production and consumption of electric energy of this subject for the month, preceding the planned one.
Paragraph 2. The procedure for confirmation of deficit and surplus of electric energy when forming a daily schedule by the system operator
6. The system operator, on the basis of applications for the purchase of electric energy and applications for the sale of electric energy submitted in the system of balancing market, in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Rules for the organization and functioning of the wholesale electric market, approved by the order of the Minister of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated February 20, 2015 № 106 (registered in the Register of state registration of regulatory legal acts № 10531), shall form and approve the daily schedule of production and consumption of electric energy.
