ENTSOG Annual Report 2013

CMP MONITORING

The Guidelines for Congestion Management Procedures (CMP) were developed by the Euro- pean Commission in 2010 – 2011 and approved by the EU Gas Committee on 24 August 2012. The implementation date was 1 October 2013. Under Article 8 (8) of the Gas Regulation, ENTSOG has monitored the implementation of the CMP Guidelines. The monitoring process will be developed in close cooperation with ACER to avoid overlapping and duplication of work. This process will be developed during the year 2014. Therefore, ENTSOG launched its own monitoring process in January 2014 to ensure timely publi­ cation of results in 2013 Annual Report. For this initial monitoring exercise in 2014 – and due to a parallel compliance monitoring from ACER – ENTSOG has chosen to use a rather high level of self-assessment for TSOs. The aggregated results are shown below.

Overall, the following characteristics emerge:

\\ 16 ENTSOG members from two countries have implemented Firm Day-Ahead UIOLI. \\ 12 ENTSOG members have implemented and four are implementing an Oversub­ scription & Buy Back Scheme representing 15 countries. \\ 29 ENTSOG members have made it possible to Surrender Contracted Capacity, four are in the implementing process of this measure. \\ 29 ENTSOG members have introduced Long-Term UIOLI, five are currently in implementation. In conclusion, most ENTSOG members have already fully implemented the CMP Guidelines. A few (3 – 5) members are still in the process of implementing some of the above-mentioned mechanisms.

CMP Implementation: ENTSOG Members Self-Assement as per January 31, 2014 (based on 39 responses from 43 members and three associated partners representing 23 of 26 countries)
