THE PLANNED establishment of a joint coordination centre offering daily grid electricity availability forecasts by French operator RTE and Belgium's Elia has been welcomed by the European Commission. From February 2009, the centre "will develop grid forecasts and support real-time monitoring of electricity flows", said the two network operators, saying the initiative would promote "market coupling". The Commission hailed it as an "important example of close cooperation."
