In 2019, Energinet and Statnett submitted an application and implementation plan to introduce implicit handling of grid losses on the Skagerrak interconnector, including Skagerrak 4, with scheduled tasks through 2019, functionality testing from November 2019 to January 2020, and a subsequent “Go Live” of the new loss-handling method using a 3.8% loss factor. This change is intended to modify how losses are accounted for in market operations on the interconnector, delivering estimated annual socio-economic gains of about EUR 0.9 million for Norway and EUR 2.3 million for Denmark once implemented.
