PSE issues non-market redispatch orders for wind installations on 28 September 2026, confirms compensation right under EU Regulation 2019/943 Art. 13(7)

PSE (Poland's TSO) issued non-market redispatch orders (Polecenia) on 28 September 2026 to curtail electricity generation from wind installations connected to the national grid, under Article 9c(7a) of the Energy Law and approved Balancing Conditions. PSE confirmed that affected wind installation owners have, in principle, a right to financial compensation under Article 13(7) of EU Regulation 2019/943 for the electricity not produced due to the curtailment orders.

This operationalizes a concrete compensation mechanism for non-market curtailment of renewable (wind) generation in Poland, affecting the economics of wind asset operators subject to redispatch, and clarifies the legal and procedural framework (application forms, calculation methodology, FAQ process) for claiming compensation, which has direct financial and operational implications for wind generators and the broader integration of variable renewables into the Polish balancing framework.

This event reflects the ongoing operational implementation of curtailment compensation rules for wind generation in Poland, a market design feature required by EU Regulation 2019/943 Article 13(7) to ensure renewable generators are compensated for non-market redispatch. The mechanism sits at the intersection of balancing market operations and adequacy/curtailment management, since increasing wind penetration necessitates periodic non-market curtailment for system security, and the compensation regime is designed to preserve investment incentives for renewables despite curtailment. The publication of a standardized application process, calculation methodology and FAQ indicates a maturing administrative process rather than a one-off event, suggesting recurring curtailment episodes will be handled under this now-established framework. This is significant for market design analysts because it exemplifies how national redispatch and compensation frameworks are being harmonized with EU electricity market regulation requirements, and how transparency measures (redispatch data publication since September 2024) are being used to support market participants' understanding of curtailment causes and magnitude.
