3 NORDIC - frequency quality to 2010 Weekly over frequency minutes Result cumulative Nordic Target cumulative Weekly under frequency minutes January 21, REF - DW SR FOU

4 NORDIC - frequency quality trend Number of incidents per month 1200 Frequency quality is currently ~ 10,000 min/yr (800x12) in 96 it was 1,000 min/yr The technical definition of frequency reserves set after studies There are no longer satisfactory reserves to stabilize NSA frequency! Increased cross border flow out of the NSA and rapid changes in plans around hour shifts. aug.95 aug.96 aug.97 aug.98 aug.99 aug aug 02.aug 03.aug 04.aug 05.aug 06.aug 07.aug 08.aug 09.aug 10.aug 11.aug January 21, 2011 REF - DW SR FOU 4

7 NORDIC - conclusions The Nordic market has developed substantially in the last 10 years and the reserves solutions to ensure balance have been technically static Automatic secondary reserves are key to securing system security in the Nordics Shorter planning resolutions would also assist Statnett has had a project since April 2009 and some secondary reserves will be in the system in It is technically and commercially complex The Nordic system is 6000 MW/Hz frequency response. Therefore an imbalance has a 500% greater frequency fall in Nordic than in Europe. This requires a more rapid SR and not just a copy of the CE solutions. In addition we have a common Tertiary reserve market (manual activated) which is well functioning and liquid. Without secondary reserves there is little possibility to increase interconnection capacities to CE. January 21, REF - DW SR FOU

8 NORDIC reserve dimensioning The oscillations around 50Hz are due to short term imbalances between production and load more severe around hour shifts Primary reserve arrests the fall, sometimes below Infringing the outage reserves. In the red zone below 49.9 Hz we have insufficent reserves to counter a major outage. More than 175 hours a year the Nordic sytem has insufficient reserves. Note: TR and SR Tc = time constant for activation January 21, 2011 REF - DW SR RGN 8
