Serbian
state-owned power grid operator Elektromreze Srbije (EMS) and its Bosnian and
Montenegrin counterparts, HOS BiH and CGES, have signed an agreement to set up a
Security Coordination Center (SCC), EMS said on Thursday.
SCC, the first
Regional Security Coordination Initiative (RSCI) in Southeast Europe (SEE), was
set up with a goal to develop the necessary services prescribed by European
network rules and by the internal regulations of the European Network of
Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E), EMS said in a
statement.
These services would be adapted to regional needs and used by
other transmission system operators from SEE, which will be invited to
participate in the management and development of the SCC and will also be
offered shareholding rights, in case they have such business
interests.
ENTSO-E,representing 41 electricity transmission system
operators from 34 countries across Europe, was established and given legal
mandates by the EU’s Third Legislative Package for the Internal Energy Market in
2009, which aims at further liberalising the gas and electricity markets in the
EU.
