The three Baltic system operators were posted an international tender to develop the Baltic Transparency Dashboard 2.0, which was won by the Hungarian consortium last December. Navitasoft was responsible for the business implementation and Integral Vision for the application development. The new data portal is unique in providing one-stop information on energy production, capacity, and transmission for the region's stakeholders. Transparency is essential in a free and open energy market, as it contributes significantly to fair competition and helps to ensure a level playing field for market players.
EU energy market directives and national legislation impose various data obligations on market participants, which they are obliged to publish on their websites, exchange platforms, and ENTSO-E's transparency platform. However, the Baltic system operators also voluntarily post additional data on electricity markets. Finding information on these sites and clearly understanding the market situation is resource-intensive and difficult. This is addressed by the Hungarian-developed platform, which went live in June. "The three Baltic operators have entrusted AST with the task of tendering for IT upgrades. We received six bids, of which the best value for money was the one submitted by Navitasoft. Their technology proposal was able to meet the requirements,
"2020 has been a great year for energy market developments in the Baltics. We are extremely proud to play a key role in the process of further deepening market integration among regional players to develop a strong, unified Baltic energy market based on free-market principles and strengthen links with other markets in Europe. Following the implementation of the so-called "Baltic Gas Market," which aims to create a single Baltic gas market, the EU is now ready to develop a free market for gas and electricity. "Common Zone" platform, this new project will also support the development of a common Baltic electricity market," said Kornél A. Balogh, Head of Business Development at Navitasoft Zrt.
Integral Vision has taken on the design tasks, including architectural and interface design and backend and frontend development. The new site was built on Drupal, which provides secure and stable data management for large data volumes, customizability, and flexible programming. Several API interfaces were built into the portal, enabling automated data delivery to stakeholders. In addition to usability, the interface was designed to help capture complex data, making the new Baltic Transparency Dashboard not only a reliable and up-to-date data service but also a reliable and up-to-date data service, "We have developed a complex virtualization solution for the operational backend, reducing page load to under 1s for 100 concurrent users. The deep energetic knowledge of the Navitasoft staff constantly led the way for our developers, allowing us to focus on creating a rich user experience as efficiently as possible. Drupal 9 proved to be an excellent integration platform, and we were able to serve extremely complex processes easily."

The network it operates consists of interconnected networks and equipment, including cross-border capacities of 110 kV and above, which transmit electricity from electricity producers to the relevant distribution network or end-users.
To ensure the sustainable operation of its supply security, Elering operates and develops its internal and external transmission networks for both electricity and gas. Elering manages the Estonian electricity and gas transmission system in real-time, balances production and consumption in the electricity system, and guarantees that the gas system is sufficiently complete to supply customers. Elering is working to ensure that the energy markets in the Baltic States are closely connected with the rest of Europe in the interests of long-term security of supply and energy security. The Estonian electricity system will be desynchronized with the Russian unified energy system and integrated into the European Union's electricity system. The gas sector aims to create a regional gas market covering Finland and the Baltic states.
Litgrid Ltd, the system operator of the Lithuanian transmission grid, is responsible for the stable operation of the national electricity system, security of supply, and the creation of open, competitive market conditions.
