sthlmflex: ShortFlex and LongFlex

Sthlmflex is a research project where Vattenfall Eldistribution, Ellevio and EON Energy Distribution, in collaboration with Svenska kraftnät (Svk), purchase flexibility on NODES’ ShortFlex and LongFlex markets.

For winter 2022/23 the market will run from 30 November 2022 to 31 March 2023. This follows the project’s first and second winter in 2020/2021 and 2021/2022.

During winter 2022/23 Vattenfall Eldistribution, Ellevio and EON Energy Distribution will be buying flexibility as:

  • hourly products on a day ahead and intraday basis in NODES’ ShortFlex market;
  • as seasonal availability products, that consist both of an activation and an availability price, through a LongFlex tender operated by NODES and through NODES platform.

On certain days, the network operators will in addition pay an availability price for offers posted in the ShortFlex market.
