Episode notes

After five years, European TSOs finally released their bidding zone review this week. The report was met with much backlash from Germany’s government and industry leaders strongly opposed to the proposal to split its zone into five. 

In this week’s podcast episode Richard speaks to commentators for and against dividing Germany’s territory, and explores how the industry can expect TSOs in Germany and the Nordic region to respond in the next six months.
