Abstract

Two years after the Economic Committee of the Polish Government approved the electricity market structure, the Balancing Market began its operation, on the Is´ of September 2001, using the day ahead, one-hour interval balancing mechanism. The assumed structure, trade and balancing rules of the Polish Electricity Market, makes it one of the most advanced electricity markets in Europe. Despite many its advantages and the advance market solutions implemented, there are still several drawbacks which impact the operation of the electricity market. This paper provides the analysis of the positive and negative sides of the Polish electricity market taking into account legal frames, regulation, market rules and the structure of power supply companies.
