Albanian Electricity Market

The Albanian electricity market is where production, consumption and trade become a priced hourly position. Without that position, a desk cannot nominate, forecast against a curve, or measure imbalance.

ALPEX is the organised exchange for day-ahead and intraday. OST operates the transmission system and the balancing timeframe. ERE is the regulator. Together they define what a participant can trade, when the gate closes, and how deviations are settled.

TradingDesk exists for this market. The Wiki keeps the market map next to operations so a position is not locked without the rules and the curve in view.

Before delivery day, participants trade hourly energy on the ALPEX day-ahead market. After that result, they can adjust on the ALPEX intraday market as forecasts and availability change.

Those trades become a schedule. After real time, metered energy is compared with the schedule. The difference is imbalance, settled under the balancing rules operated with the TSO.

Licensed participants, BRPs and aggregators sit inside this chain. Cross-border context (including the Albania–Kosovo day-ahead coupling on ALPEX) matters when the desk reads the local price against a neighbouring curve.
