According to Elering AS “Rules on Balancing”, approved by Estonian NRA with decision No 31.12.19 nr 7-10/2019-014, Kiisa emergency reserve power is allowed to participate for Baltic system balancing purposes only after the CMOL of mFRR standard product is used (empty). 

Therefore, since of 1 July 2020, the energy price established for Kiisa emergency reserve power stations upon activation thereof for balancing purposes will be the maximum permitted price on the Baltic balancing market, i.e. 5,000 EUR/MWh.
