The energy ministry plans to make two interventions in the intraday and balancing markets in order to rectify side effects detected in the day-ahead market.

The measures to be taken will, amongst other objectives, seek to boost trading volume and revenues in the intraday market.

The side effects, prompted by a cap implemented in the day-ahead market, first appeared July 1, the first day of a temporary mechanism for partial returns of day-ahead market revenues.
