bFZK are conditionally firm capacities that can be freely allocated in the entire market area and enable access to the virtual trading point of THE. At storage connection points, bFZK only become interruptible capacities in whole or in part if the daily average temperature forecast exceeds or falls below a limit value set by OGE.
At virtual interconnection points, the bFZK can be interrupted if the previous day's forecast for the daily average temperature measured at the Essen weather station is above or below the limit values set by OGE. The aforementioned limit values can be found in the product data sheet.
