Commencing from January 1^st, 2025, BSPs having units in Luxembourg will be given access to the German market for aFRR and mFRR. For this purpose, the two transmission system operators (TSOs) Creos and Amprion have developed a cooperation model. Under this model, Amprion will take the role of connecting TSO and conclude a corresponding framework agreement with the Luxembourgian BSPs.

As Creos and Amprion operate a joint load-frequency-control area with separate scheduling aeras, a pooling of plants within this joint area will not be permitted.

Further information on the cooperation model can be found under:
